Jae’s Asian Bistro

One of the best places for Asian food in the Berkshires. Always a great place to gather for a drink and sushi.

Woohoo! Finally, finally, found a good restaurant in the Berkshires! From NYC area and by far, best food we had during our entire vacation. Delicious food at reasonable prices. If this were a restaurant near home, would have paid much more.
The bulgoki was absolutely delicious. A must to order when you are there. Clay pot yellow curry dish and beef bib bim bop both excellent as well. Attentive wait staff.
Highly recommend.

After ordering the chicken and shrimp pad thais for takeout a couple times (yummy) I decided, what the hell, I’ll try a sit down meal at the bar. It was a Sunday night, the place didn’t seem that busy but apparently they had ONE bartender tending a very long bar AND the seating in front of the bar. It was ludicrous. The waiter was running around like it was the apocalypse – spilling drinks, apologizing profusely to the customers who had to flag him down to pay or ask for a check. By the end of the experience I was angry that I had to wait so long for everything and I was angry at the terribly poor staffing management.
The food was terrible. I had seafood scallion pancakes – undercooked in the center. The beef lo mein was terribly greasy, too sweet and too salty. There was no skill at the food preparation – it was a just lot of mediocre, unhealthy food. The selections of beer on tap were boring – the swill you’d find at any supermarket. Would it kill you to offer a few decent craft beers?
I won’t ever be going back here.

Jae’s continues to be inconsistent. One day, I really enjoy the food. Another day, everyone at the table was disappointed. I cannot find a pattern — just hope that it gets better.
I really enjoyed the Korean Bi Bim Bop. It came out hot and the vegetables were perfect. The flavor of the sauce was perfect. This was a good day. I have also had excellent fish meals here.
On the other hand, my wife and I had Chinese dishes that tasted like the sauce was full of corn starch. When we complained, we were told that we had ordered the wrong dish. We were told that this is how the dish is supposed to taste.
One advantage is that this is a very large place. It is easy to get a table most times of the year. It is also excellent for large groups as they have the space for them.

Went twice. The first time was with a group of friends and I only ordered the beer. So all was good.
Second time I stayed for dinner. We waited twenty minutes before we were asked for our order. We order sushi and appetizers. All very tasteless. We wanted to try something else but we waited so long for our server to come by we just asked for check. Hey we’re not that busy. It was over priced for the quality of food.
Next time I will stick with the conversation with friends and a beer.

Places OK it’s Korean owned and operated yet somehow my Bento box lunch came with coleslaw and not kimchee. I guess the average American doesn’t like kimchi but it would’ve been nice if the waitress would’ve told me that they had it as an alternative.
The Bento box lunch is your best bet personally I wouldn’t go there for dinner because I live in New York City and I’m not used to paying between 15 and $ 20 for noodles. We have authentic Asian food in New York City and it really tends to spoil you.
The best dish is the short ribs hands-​down I go back just for that.

From NYC and a little spoiled when it comes to anything Asian.
But this is very good.
Recommend the Bento Box for lunch. It’s a sizable Bento Box. Very satisfying !
We had the Short Rib and Bobugli .
Short Rib is a must !
Dinner prices a little high even for NYC standards.
Come for the Lunch time Bento Box. Best deal around.
Wait staff is very pleasant & attentive and made this meal even more enjoyable !
Highly recommend.
