    The behavior of the manager need to improved. This was the worse experienced I've ever had at Jia Kitchen. We ordered the Clams w/ Black Bean Sauce- Nghêu xào tàu xì. The clams were like not cook and done at all. It seems not right, good and fresh. and not hot at all. And the waitress talked to the manager and he said it was only 3 clams left on our plate and rejected to come out to talk to us. That is so DISRESPECTFUL I've ever had in my life to eat out. We're not that hungry to ask for another one or too poor to ask for the refund but at least show the respect, please. At least an apologied. We're not gonna come back ever again!!! Bye Felicia! I've never give 1 star to any restaurant but except this time.

    Jia Kitchen is a great place to grab chinese/vietnamese food in Katy Asian Town. Huge menu and friendly staff. Food had big portion sizes, had to grab a togo box for both our meals. It was fairly priced too. Overall I would come back!

    vegetable soup
    Imran S.

    we were shopping at H Mart and got hungry so we decided to walk around and see what we liked. When we got to Jia Kitchen the food looked good and the place was packed; both good signs we started off with the roti and curry - the curry was good but the roti was too oily. we then got the veggie soup with thick noodles - the portion was huge and it had lots of veggies and lots of flavor. i went with friends and they got more dishes including dumplings and beef dishes. portion size was good and flavor was great overall good food with big portion size and big flavor

    Walnut Shrimp

    Another good experience here after a 7 month break. They are slightly short staffed but good came out quick enough. The wonton soup and walnut shrimp were amazing! Green beans were crispy. Hot tea was yummy!

    Food The malaysian clear glass noodles was beef 4/5 was pretty good. The beef was slightly dry but the portion and flavor was solid. Flavorful and soy saucey with veggies mixed. Thai sweet and soicy wings 5/5 Sweet and spicy battered wings. Very solid and nicely flavored and slightly spicy. Fried rice 4/5 Smokey and has assorted protein such as beef and chinese sausage. I would order it again. Good for sharing!! Pecking duck 2/5 I would not order this again. Limited baos and not much duck. Duck quality was dry and stale. Salt roasted shrimp 5/5 Lovely battered and crunchy so flavorful you have to eat the shrimp with the shell or you are MISSING OUT. Banh bot chien/ rice cake omlette 4.5/5 The rice cake is good. Crispy and fresh. Paired with the sweet soy sauce is A MUST. I'd order it again Service 3/5 Felt rushed. Employee offered to help with to-go ing left overs despite us saying we could do it ourselves. But its fine just come for the food haha.

    Be sure to check that your food is fully cooked. I ordered the mực rang muối (salt-toasted squid), but the batter was still raw. When I mentioned it to a server, she asked, "Do you want it medium or well done?"...which was confusing, since this isn't a steakhouse, and squid should be cooked through. A family member also mentioned that on a previous visit, their fish was undercooked as well. Just a word of caution.

    Crispy Beef with Tangerine
    Steph D.

    Jia Kitchen and neighboring Tan Tan Wok are really all one and the same restaurant. Slightly different ambience, but they share the same menu and staff. I've been here more than a few times, and almost always start with a Thai Tea. Which is served in a frothy, icy carafe. My usual entrée is the Salt and Pepper Squid, and I recently tried the Crispy Beef with Tangerine. It was well worth the wait for that dish. The lightly breaded beef was very tender and served in a sweet tangerine-ginger sauce with just a hint of heat. If you choose fried rice, in lieu of, the usual steam rice, you'll be pleased with an actual handmade fried rice, and not something out of the Sysco Asian food catalog. Every time I've dined here I've always seen tables full of families, sharing dishes. It seems to be a favorite spot for many locals.

    Stopped by recently on a weekday around 4pm for a super late lunch, so the restaurant was pretty much empty at the time. We were quickly seated and got our foods ordered pretty quickly as well, and they did not take long to come out either. It seemed like the prices went up by a lot from the last time we were here, but that was fine. We ordered the roti and curry starter, crispy seafood flat rice noodles, Kinh Do spare ribs, and bbq pork and chinese sausage fried rice. My favorite was probably the the roti and curry starter which was super good. The curry was flavorful, and the roti was fluffy and light. The Kinh Do spare ribs were not bad. The fried rice tasted like typical Chinese restaurant fried rice and a bit bland, so it was not that special. The most disappointing part of the meal was probably the seafood flat rice noodle. The flavors were good, but the seafoods were pretty nonexistent (only a few pieces). It was close to $20, so we had expected it to have at least a bit more seafoods in it. Overall, it was only okay, especially for the price. I don't mind paying a lot for good foods, but I don't think it was very worth it here. There are lots of restaurants here in Katy Asian Town, so there are better options to choose from. I wouldn't go out of our way to come back here unless I really couldn't decide on another place in this area.

    Pretty decent Asian cuisine. I had the Squid Ink Fried Rice with Fresh Coconut Water. I like the squid bits they added to the fried rice. It adds a subtle sweetness to the whole dish, but I had to touch up the rice with more salt/soy sauce than I wanted to add. The rice itself was plain and unseasoned, and even the squid ink didn't add enough flavor to save the dish. But I loved the coconut water (served in an actual young coconut). The water was fresh and sweet, a perfect drink for a hot summer day.

    Came here on a Tuesday evening, a hour before closing time. Right after we got seated we noticed how crowded it got. Staff was helpful and humble (even though they closing time was near). Our waitress was great and very attentive. We order - banh bot chien - house special rice cake Hu tieu xao ap chao - crispy flat noodles with Chinese broccoli and beef Nui xao bo luc lac - shaken beef with macaroni Ambiance - I was telling my husband it reminds me of Tan Tan and sure enough he looked the restaurant up and it is own by the same owners. Great place food quick Chinese food.

    Wall with zodiac signs
    Chelsea L.

    First time here. We went with a friend who is a local and she said this place was good. I really like the art and the zodiac signs on the wall. The server was also nice and gave recommendations. He did recommend the sweet and sour pork and I LOVE sweet and sour pork, so I went forward with the order. It comes with the big bowl of rice. When I tried the pork, it was not great. There is too much breading compared the pork causing it to be more crispy rather than chewy. It is also too sweet. I also tried my friend's walnut shrimp and that tastes good except the skin on the shrimp is still on the inside? I'm not sure if that is typical but I did not enjoy the texture of the shrimp skin. As for the portions, they are big so you should share the food instead of ordering each dish for yourself. We had to take to-go boxes. Rice is cooked well and servers are quick, but I did not enjoy the food.

    Mixed vegetables noodles with shrimp/chicken
    Ana A.

    First time at this restaurant, and it was delicious. Service was excellent. I was there for lunch with friends. The food was delicious and the portions are definitely shareable. You can order more then one plate and share all the variety that's available on the menu.

    Pork and shrimp wonton egg noodle soup
    Angelica C.

    A must go to spot in Katy Asian town! We were looking for a place that has noodle soup since our favorite spot phanh ky was closed and we got lucky because they had exactly what we were craving for. My hubby and I got the shrimp and pork wonton noodle soup and the shrimp noodle soup. Omg did it hit the spot! The soup was so flavorful that it didn't need any condiments or sauces. I had a little chili oil on the side but really didn't need it. The kids also had their own soups and the orange chicken. All very tasty. I believe Jia Kitchen and Tan Tan Wok are now one restaurant so I'm giving 5 stars to both. Service is excellent, ambience is amazing and the food is top tier.

    I had time to squeeze in one last meal before leaving Houston, and after seeing Pho Dien…read morerecommended all over TikTok and by so many friends, I knew I had to give it a try! I'll admit I was a little skeptical going in because I genuinely think my favorite pho spot in Texas is still in Austin where I live. That being said, Houston has such an incredible Vietnamese food scene that I've been making it my mission to try as many of the highly recommended spots as I can! When my pho first came out, I thought the broth was rich and flavorful, but it didn't immediately blow me away. Then the manager came over and started chatting with me, asking where I was visiting from and what some of my favorite pho spots were. He even asked what style of broth I usually like, and after I told him I tend to prefer a richer broth, he brought me a side of their fatty broth to add in. It made SUCH a difference!! It added so much depth and flavor, and I appreciated that he took the time to personalize my meal instead of just serving the food and walking away. What impressed me even more was how attentive everyone was. The manager noticed I'd asked for to-go containers even though I'd barely touched my food and came over to make sure everything was okay. I had to explain that I just wasn't as hungry as I thought I'd be haha. He was SO kind and even packed me an extra container of the fatty broth to take home, which was such a thoughtful gesture. We also ordered the grilled pork vermicelli, and WOW...it was honestly one of the best versions I've ever had! The pork was incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked. Between the delicious food and the genuinely amazing hospitality, I can definitely see why Pho Dien is so well-loved. Next time I definitely want to come back and try their bone marrow pho!!

This place delivered where it mattered most, especially with the highly reviewed appetizers. Probably one of my favorite drinks here was the Thai Green Tea. It has a really interesting flavor that stands out from regular Thai Tea -- more earthy, but not quite like matcha (we guessed there might be pandan in it). Just a heads up: it's definitely on the sweeter side. My partner and I actually let the ice melt a bit before continuing to drink it, which helped balance things out. I came back a second time and still loved it just as much. The dipping sauce felt like a truly authentic representation of Vietnamese cuisine. It was a lightly diluted fish sauce with spicy red pepper and plenty of garlic -- simple but really flavorful. I also appreciated that the table setup let you customize it to your taste. In my first experience here, we ordered the Bánh Xèo, Bánh Khọt, and Bánh Bột Chiên. I was hands down a huge fan of the ginormous Bánh Xèo -- crispy, flavorful, and just overall my favorite (though I'll admit I'm a little biased toward it already). Meanwhile, my boyfriend completely fell in love with the crunchy Bánh Khọt. That said, I did notice a slight graininess in the Bánh Khọt, which took away a few points for me. The Bánh Bột Chiên was solid and got a pass from us, but it wasn't our top pick -- mostly because we've had better versions elsewhere. Other worthy notes: the herbs were fresh and crisp, and the pickled vegetables were refreshing as well (though my boyfriend thought they could've been a bit more strongly pickled). Eating everything the traditional way -- wrapping it in lettuce with herbs -- made the whole experience even better. Honestly, I would come back just to order two Bánh Xèo. I actually came back a second time before posting this review, this time with my family. We ordered the Bắp Xào, Cơm Chiên Bò Lúc Lắc, and a simple rice dish. This visit was a bit different -- across the board, we all agreed the dishes leaned too salty this time around. I could also tell the staff was overwhelmed, with only two people handling both the front and the kitchen, so it was tough to get their attention at times. That said, the Bánh Xèo still held its ground. My parents were genuinely impressed by the size, and for me, it's still an absolute banger -- something I'd come back for again and again purely for flavor and value. The Bắp Xào really stood out to me in a nostalgic way. I loved the use of traditional Vietnamese corn, and the sautéed dried shrimp brought back memories of flavors from dishes I grew up eating, even if I couldn't quite pinpoint which one. While my mom thought it was too salty, I actually felt like it would pair perfectly with a bowl of plain white rice. I also tried some of my brother's Cơm Chiên Bò Lúc Lắc and found the beef to be tender and flavorful, though not particularly standout compared to other places. I've had very similar versions nearby, but it's still my brother's go-to -- though I suspect that might also be his way of loading up on protein. Overall, even with the inconsistency during the second visit, I still really enjoy Yummy Quan -- especially for the appetizers. It's a place I'd bring family and friends to try, and I'm still curious about more of the menu... but realistically, I could live life on Bánh Xèo alone. At the end, you also get to grab some guava candy, and for anyone who's never had these, don't forget to pick some up -- they're simply delectable!

    Overall, good Vietnamese food. Certain dishes were a miss, but overall good food. Definitely Katy…read morepricing for the dishes though. I love getting banh khot, banh xeo, and banh bot chien for appetizers. Just tried the egg rolls and it was good too. My go to main would be bun dau mam tom. Other mains such as com chien bo luc lac and bun thit Nuong was ok. I did not like the bun rieu, was too sweet... probably because different region so rieu balls were different than I was used too also. Staff is friendly, food does take a little bit to come out so I always order my appetizers first right when sit down.

At first it was just us and one other table, but not long after, more people started coming in, probably for lunch as well. The restaurant is pretty large, with both tables and booths, plus a big table for large groups. This is what we ordered: Combo Rolls This comes as a sampler with five different types of spring rolls. Regular spring rolls, nem nuong rolls (fermented grilled pork), grilled chicken, grilled pork, and shrimp only. I really liked this idea because it lets you try everything without having to order each roll separately. My favorite was the nem nuong roll. Bun Bo Hue I do not eat pork blood or pork loaf, so I substituted them with more tendon and beef meatballs. Because of that, I cannot really comment on how the pork tasted. The broth was okay but a little lacking in flavor. After I asked for shrimp paste, it tasted much better. Bo Kho (Beef Stew) This is my husband favorite dish, so he always orders it whenever a place has it. He ordered the one come with bread as dipping. He did not really like this one. It was not bad, but not great either. The flavor was missing, and the broth was more watered down than how he prefers it. Still, it is worth trying if you like beef stew. Overall, our experience was just okay. The service was fine, but the food did not leave a strong impression on us. We did not stay long since my husband had to get back to work. I would come back to try more dishes, especially pho. Since their name is Pho Guru, I feel like the pho might be better. Plus we dined in around Fall time in 2025 so I think the place would have so change with out last experience
