We enjoy the cooked-to-order dishes made with fresh ingredients. Always very tasty. I do wish their menus had a few more details and/or pictures - I don't always know what to expect by just the dish name. read more

Didn't expect much but the pho here is not bad. It's a pretty small business and there were only 2 people working so the wait can be awhile. The portion sizes here are pretty large. read more

We came here for date night on a Friday night. I was craving pho and the combination pho was the best I've ever had! The restaurant was empty but had a great atmosphere. The food came within 5 minutes. I cannot wait to come back and try more dishes! read more

Nice place for a quick bite, good food at decent prices and a variety of items on the menu. The pork banh mi meat was well seasoned and I would recommend it. The chicken fried was good, nothing too exciting. Service was good as well and it did not take too long for the food to be prepared. read more

Seriously amazing. I've been to a good 20-30 restaurants specifically for Pho and this was hands down Top 3 best pho I've had. Savory, rich broth. Nice cuts of meat, fresh vegetables. We also got a smoothie before we left and it was incredible... makes me never want smoothie king again. Everyone there was super friendly, and nice to my 3 year old. Very clean place, we made a little bit of a noodle mess and while I was trying to clean it, they came over and took over and made me feel like they truely cared about our experience. read more

Visited this place a couple weeks ago and loved it! The atmosphere was very homey and the food was good! I got the classic pho and was very pleased. 9/10 would recommend. It was a little pricey but you are paying for the quality of the food! Worth it read more

I enjoy the pho and my wife enjoys the fried noodle dishes. I think it is odd they don't serve tap water to drink; instead, you must pay for bottled water. read more

Unfortunately had a really poor experience. I ordered the beef pho for carry out, and it was not good. The broth was cold, the portions were very skimpy, I didn't get any Thai basil, and the rest of the veggies were wilted. Even my FIL who is very easily impressed did not like it. I have gotten pho to-go many times and this has never been the case. Had high hopes after reading positive reviews! Hopefully dining in is a better experience. read more

Very good food served quickly. The restaurant is very nice and clean inside ; plenty of choices on the menu

The price is generally expensive. Moreover, the water should be brought in by the main plan or bought outside, and it is basically re-pollonated. But the most incomprehensible thing is that when paying for food, the amount received by card and the value calculated in cash are different. After eating, I have to return all the dishes to the ex-family and organize them by myself... Considering all this, I will go to another house. read more

Food is good. Atmosphere is ok. Prices too high. I am surprised their prices haven't closed this business

Charming, tidy, and refined! Every time I dine here, I end up ordering the same dish; it may not be adventurous, but I can't resist what I've come to love. The food is consistently fresh, and there are new items added regularly. The wait staff was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I also brought friends along to share the experience, and I was pleased that they enjoyed J Vietnamese Cafe as well. read more

There was a nice ambience. The bench needed to be cleaned. There were crumbs all over it. We thought $23 for a bowl of pho noodles was quite pricey. They were good, but nothing exceptional. The eggroll was very good. I am thinking they most likely order those frozen and then deep fry them. The boba drink was good. The food was about to see level and the service was about average level. One of the cooks was sitting smoking on the floor outside in front of the shop when we came in. He stubbed out his cigarette and left the butt on the ground. Not the best look for a. Restuarant. read more

Went tonight for first time since they reopened. Nice remodel but the food was mediocre at best. We ordered a dish and when it came out it was not what we ordered. Then the guy behind the counter wanted to argue with us about it. Very rude. We asked for a refund since it was not what we ordered. Again he wanted to argue about it. When we asked to speak to a to a manager we were told he was as good as we were gonna get. We ordered a sandwich instead. We paid for it but when it came out he said he would give it to us but we needed to leave. Again. How rude. We sat to eat and then he hollered across to room that he changed his mind and we could stay. He finally did refund the $17.00 for the one meal. I will say we will never return. And I do not recommend. read more

We had a delicious meal that included vermicelli noodles with pork, pickled daikon and carrots, and a sweet and sour dressing. It also had an eggroll in the bowl. The Boba tea was fabulous. read more

My husband and I were visiting Rolla and looking for Pho. I searched and saw that the closest one was in Jefferson City. We decided to take a ride, saw the Capital building and other places then headed for some Pho. We were treated by 2 gentlemen who took our order. We both got the Pho with rare steak and an order of spring rolls. We are big fans of Vietnamese food and try to get it wherever we travel. This place didn't disappoint! The rolls were fresh, peanut sauce delicious and the Pho was spot on. Will be back next time we are in the area. Prices were comparable to what we spend in NY and the sizes of the portions weren't huge but weren't small. read more

This is the only place locally to get Vietnamese food, so thank goodness it hits every time! They recently remodeled and it looks great. Put your order in at the counter and have a seat until they call your number. My absolute favorite item on the menu is the fresh spring rolls. Their peanut sauce is unmatched in Missouri. I'll also get a banh mi to complete my meal and end up with a filling and cheap meal any time. I prefer the cured pork one over the grilled, just because you end up with more meat and more flavor. Their rice and noodle dishes are also worth getting if you're coming back, and the pho is my ultimate comfort food on a cold and rainy day in Jefferson City. This is genuinely one of my favorite spots in town, much better than the generic bar food options. read more

Lovely food. Nice ambience . They have a vegan menu as well. Nice service polite folks and they explained the vegan options and substitutions. Good for groups too. I ordered the Vietnamese coffee not sure if that's vegan and the veggie stir fry and tofu banh mi. read more

I ordered stir-fried egg noodles. I expected it to be delicious but not. The noodles they used were instant noodles that you buy at Walmart or any grocery store and just added beef and vegetables. It just tastes like instant noodles. You know the instant noodles with curvy or curly ones? Yes, that is right. I just wasted 15 dollars, I won't recommend this place. It is a waste of money. read more

Pan fried chicken noodles were great. We had an issue where we ordered pineapple fried rice with veggies and pineapple only and were still given it with shrimp and pork (menu does not mention any type of meat in the rice). We do not eat shrimp nor pork. We picked up a to-go order and didn't not realize until we got back to Columbia. Tried getting a refund but owner said they could only remake and not refund. Waste of $21. For lunch I spent $73. Probably won't visit here based on the cost of the food. read more

Really great food and the boba here was amazing!! I got the blended version cause they were out of the regular and took me by surprise how good it was. Service was really great and even the young girl offered to give me a hand with the amount of food that I had to take back to my car. Walking in for the first time it had a really nice chill vibe with plenty of space and tranquility. I definitely recommend this place read more

Food good. Self service bad. Price, outrageous! Sad. 2 star due to price though everything is getting ridiculous on price now.
