It has been awhile since I have been here and this place didn't disappoint. The spring rolls are made fresh with delicious peanut sauce. The food combo plates are cooked to perfection with delicious flavors and sides. The banh mi sandwiches are my favorite, made with fresh ingredients and a variety of protein options. The flavored teas and smoothies are a must try. The place is small so inside seating is limited but they offer outside tables to enjoy your food. The food is made to order and served up fresh and hot. read more

Honestly one of the worst bánh mì experiences I've had. The sandwich looked nothing like the advertised photo and tasted just as bad as it looked. The egg had a strange rubbery layered texture like it had been frozen and thawed, the pork was bland and disintegrating, and the whole sandwich tasted stale and poorly prepared. To make matters worse, I ended up feeling sick to my stomach afterward. For nearly $13, this quality is completely unacceptable. Extremely disappointing and honestly misleading compared to what's advertised. read more

We had their Bánh mì and really enjoyed it. They use turkey in their spring roll, but was still quite nice. Service is great and seating is limited, but with both an indoor and outdoor area for dining. A very casual place, for sure. We will be back as it is neighborhood cafe style. read more

The lemongrass chicken banh mi was good, but what I really enjoyed were the autumn rolls (nem nuong spring rolls). Prices were also reasonable. Added an extra star for the compassionate owner giving a free sandwich to a person in need while I was eating there. read more

Jenjon's Cafe - 1. Jenjon's Burger and 4. Passion Fruit Tea SOOOOO GOOOD !!!!!!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Union City, California

Wanted to try something different on my lunch always liked banh mi style sandwiches. Looked up the closest one. Call to make an order when I got there person working in the front didn't have the most welcoming attitude, but I understand people can't be happy 24/7. Anyways, I'd give the sandwich maybe a 6.5 or seven out of 10 was decent, but I've definitely had better for the price I paid .so overall the mid-level review. read more

Jenjon's Cafe - Teriyaki chicken banh mi - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Union City, California

I'm not sure what to say. The meat portions are small and bland. There is zero pate or mayo in these sandwiches. I believe they do that for the travel ability. But the overall experience of flavor and sandwich was really sad. Growing up I used to come here and order the same chicken teriyaki bahn mi. And this time around it's really sad how I'm realizing there's no flavor. I used to drown the sandwich in soy sauce. But now I understand why I did that. There's only one person running the whole store. And half the time the wait time is long. So I'm not gonna judge them for that. I just want a bahn mi spot in Union City that I can go to for flavor. read more

Bahn Mi combo was okay. I asked for extra pate' and extra jalapeños, but got the extra pate', and I think extra cilantro (see photos). Only got three small slices of jalapeño in my sandwich TOTAL, but that was not a big issue. The bread was good, but too hard on the outside for me. The Thai iced tea with boba was a little too sweet, but that's my fault for not asking for less sweet when I ordered. My issue was with the boba. They were soft outside, but too firm in the middle....don't you hate that? I do! Like I said, it was okay, but didn't scratch my Bahn Mi and Thai iced tea with boba itch!! Nice little shop, and reasonably priced, but not worth it to me....Sorry. read more

This café has been here for a long time, and I just tried it for the first time in my life. I didn't order a big meal, unfortunately. I just wanted to test it out. I ordered the pork eggrolls and the sexy (lol) fruit tea. Both came out quickly. The eggrolls were hot, and the tea was perfect. Not too sweet. He added fresh mint and lime to the tea, which was perfect for a hot afternoon. Next time, I want to order a proper meal and give a better review. I will definitely be back. read more

The banh mi tasted great, the one thing to improve on was the bread. It was too hard and crunchy. I wish they toasted it a bit less.

JenJons Cafe is a small Vietnamese restaurant with a big heart. They serve delicious sandwiches and Vietnamese cuisine. The bahn mi is made with fresh bread and feels like it's made with love. The owner went above and beyond. I mistakenly thought they closed at 10 PM when it was actually 7:30 PM. When I returned the next day, the owner immediately offered to remake my order, even though he had every right to refuse. I will definitely be going back and telling all my friends about this place. Not only are the sandwiches delicious, but the owner deserves a line around block. Thanks -Jorge read more

Came here because I wanted a Bahn Mi, plus this place was much closer then the one I normally go to. Their combo one is my go to for every place. It was good. Bread was not to hard and the veggies were not overly sour but had a nice flavor kick to it. Only thing I have to say is that I wish they were a bit more friendly. I stood back to look at the menu more so I was not blocking anyone if they came in. I told them I was not yet ready and they walked away. I walked up closer to the register and when they came back, they said "What do you want?" Not really a way to take orders. It just did not sound really nice. Food was really good though, just work on the customer service part. read more

Been coming here for years and it's always been our go to spot. Our go to order is 3 passion fruit smoothies, 3 BBQPork banhi mi, and teriyaki chicken plate with fried rice grand total $65 ish dollars. It's a super cute small establishment with out door sitting which is also our go to. Good food next to Union city bart. If your in the area if nothing else the smoothies are a MUST! Service is friendly and nice. Food comes out quick and this is hands down my kids favorite place. Menu is pretty large but I stick to what I know, havnt ventured out of our normal go to items. read more

Can't believe I haven't wrote a review. I love this hole in the wall place. They pack enough ingredients for everything, especially the banh mi. Their summer rolls were so delicious also.

The most disappointing Vietnamese sandwich I have ever had. There were three airy thin slices of meat to the "combo" and the pate was barely visible. At $7.75, this is a rip off! Would definitely not recommend. There are other options in the area with better quality that serve food more aligned with the price point. read more

Jenjon's Cafe - Combo sandwich - veggies on the side but where is everything else? Disappointing at $7.75. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Union City, California

Stopped in randomly and grabbed a cold cut combination bahn mi. It was quite expensive, around $8.50 after tax, but was decently tasty. The roll is on the smaller side, but had that perfect thin, crispy exterior and pillowy interior and the sandwich had tons of fresh veggies, pickles, and herbs, which I love. The pate in the sandwich was okay, not my favorite, but everything else was super fresh and tasty. The gentleman that helped me was so friendly and kind! read more

Their banmi sandwiches are bomb. I always add extra cilantro. They served it quickly and made fresh to order. Their pho was ok, nothing too special since they don't have all the beef meat choices. Service is quick and you can order ahead of time. The parking lot is kind of tough since it's in the back of the Safeway plaza, always busy. The restaurant is tiny to dine in. They have a couple seatings outside but it's really a to-go order kind of place. read more

Consistently great lemon grass chicken or tofu sandwiches. Their chicken pho is delish as well and I always get it when I'm feeling under the weather. read more

Their combo bahn mi is my favorite out of the entire area. Mango smoothie is also top notch, owner is a friendly guy as well. read more

This is a long overdue review of one of our faves for over 10 years. It is a small restaurant that's easy to miss in a busy strip mall but once you try their food, you'll always go back. This is our go-to for Banh-mi, Boba drinks & Imperial rolls. We've always done take-out which is so appropriate during COVID-19. The french bread is always fresh & stays crunchy outside & soft inside hours later. The picked carrots & daikon is the perfect taste-booster to any meat you might like. I like the Combo, with headham cheese. The 2-in-1 BBQ pork & chicken is also a favorite of my hubby. Cilantro & jalapeno are optional. We're confident that the quality & flavor remains the same always. It hasn't disappointed us. There are other items in their menu you can try. On our last visit, a great special was to add a drink (except for Smoothies) for only $3. My Combo banh-mi & Honeydew Milktea with Boba was $8.25!!! COVID-19 precautions: 1 party allowed inside at a time to place an order or pick up; wait outside. Plexi glass separates the patrons from the servers. Hand sanitizers are visible & available for all. read more

Jenjon's Cafe - 8. Combination Plate Noodle - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Union City, California

Can't believe I just barely tried this place. So much food so little time. Disclaimer: I used Grubhub delivery which I usually never do. Had the combo sandwich or banh mi. It had a decent amount of meat and veggies ratio and that fresh jalapeño that I love. Was not as crunchy as usual because of the grub hub delivery factor. The vegetarian egg rolls arrived cold but were good flavor and size but more on the snack size. Same story with the shoe string fries they arrived cold. The taro smoothie was just the right amount of boba and sweetness but once again it was room temperature and not as good. This is why I hate food delivery apps it always takes away from the food presentation and taste. Next wIll definitely just go in and avoid this. I will update when I do. read more

Jenjon's Cafe is located in the Union Square Marketplace plaza in Union City. It is hidden off to the side, so it is easily missed if you are not looking for it - I had never seen the store until recently and I have been coming to this plaza a lot in the past few years. I am always intrigued to try their jasmine milk tea with boba, but I usually just order their combination banh mi to go. The banh mi is about $8 and the portion is decent - I usually split it in half and eat the other half later (it is a bit inconvenient that they do not cut the banh mi in half though, especially if you are out and about, and do not have a knife). The taste is decent for the price. They close pretty early as well (7:30 PM). read more

Banh MI is my weakness. I am always on the lookout for a great reasonably priced place to get Banh MI. I have walked past this shop many times and had never looked inside before. I always assumed from the name that it was simply a coffee shop. Recently I was at the nearby Safeway and on a whim looked up "Vietnamese Sandwiches" on Yelp and was surprised to find there was one within the same shopping Plaza. The restaurant is small and is at an odd angle but what they may lack in space and shape they make up with personality and warmth. They have succulents decorating the tables and counters. There are bars counters with barstools along the walls and a few small table. Behind the counter is a digital menu and they have paper menus for those who prefer to hold a menu in their hands. They have a lot of options from burgers to fried/steamed rice plates and vermicelli. For the meal plates I was told they would be happy to substitute stir fried veggies or salad in place of rice or vermicelli. I ordered the BBQ pork Banh MI and fries. I was blown away by how amazingly it was prepared. The bread was light and fluffy. The sandwich was filled to the bursting point with BBQ pork and a good amount of veggies as well. The pork was well prepared and practically melted in my mouth. I know I will be back to try their other menu items. I think this place is going to be my new guilty pleasure. read more
