First time trying Jokim Kitchen, a Vietnamese spot, for a weekend lunch. It's across from Hi Dozo Sushi. Four $15.99 weekday lunch specials (11am-4pm). - Mango smoothie ($4.00) - good mango flavour - Avocado smoothie ($4.00) - creamy - Pho sa te ($17.50 large) - satay broth was better but light on the peanut flavour - Pho hai san ($17.50 large) - didn't detect any hot or sour in the broth. Serviceable but unmemorable - Saigon style platter ($42.95) - four types of meat with grilled asparagus and salad. Betel beef and the grilled galangal pork were both delicious. Sausage and lamb skewers were okay read more

I came here for the lunch specials. There are 4 items available for the lunch specials. $14.99 gets you the dish and banana coconut dessert. Some days are quiet and some days are busy. When it's busy, you need to be patient as it's only one person doing everything out front. I have tried two dishes here. The house pho was good and it was the most beautifully plated rare beef on the side. The lemongrass chicken with rice was decent too. I did like the banana coconut dessert which came with the lunch special. It was not overly sweet and was the perfect portion to round the meal. I didn't like that they charged $0.50 for the take out container which was not stated anywhere. They didn't tell me about the charge before hand too. Street parking is available. The rear parking has only two spots allocated to the restaurant. read more

The food here is amazing and delicious. We caught them on a bad Saturday night where they were missing a front end person, and the restaurant was 80% busy, so one person was running the whole front and even some of the back and kitchen! We felt really bad. The quality of the food was excellent and the ambiance was great. They even have a photo back drop with LED neon angel wings to take some memorable photos of. This was a great find in the middle of New West! read more

Jokim Vietnamese Family friendly / casual Across from Royal City Center Food: Excellent Service Great Price: Budget friendly Parking: back and front meters https://jokim.ca Can't say enough about this wonderful Vietnamese restaurant! Modern and classy but without the higher price tag! In fact, the prices are in-line, if not cheaper than other Vietnamese restaurants that are stuffy and poorly ventilated (My clothes don't smell after visiting). Also some menu items are quite unique. Lunch specials are cheaper than some food court foods! Great for date nights! The platter: Everything in the platter were super tasty! There are drinks specials if you order this platter. Although we didn't order but I saw the next table ordered the gigantic beer with this. Mango Shrimp Salad: Super refreshing! The slight sweetness of mango and shrimp infused with fish sauce. The sweet and salty, yet not overpowering complexity was a true delight! I'm hooked! Phos: tasty comforting beef broth with many choice for noodles. Unlike every pho place that give you one bean plate to share, each person are given in individual plates of sprouts! This to me is classy and makes customers feel valued. Pork chop rice: now it's gonna be one of the go-tos! Took my friend here for the first time. She orders pork chop rice. Every time we go to a Vietnamese restaurant and she said through her years of eating this dish this is the best that she had ever tasted! The pork chops were so juicy and just simply incredible! It's not my first time here although we were too full to order dessert, but I tried their warm coconut banana soup before. It was super delicious! Service was excellent. Very attentive staff. Didn't feel rushed. read more

Great lunch special. The wings are really good. The soup base is flavourful. Definitely one of the best Vietnamese places in New West.

Upscale Vietnamese restaurant in the heart of New West. Love this new-ish addition to the Vietnamese food scene in Vancouver suburbs. Its been hard to find authentic places west of Boundary road, but Jokim Kitchen hit all the boxes for me and has quickly become a favourite of mine. They've got a pretty extensive menu of classic southern Vietnamese dishes as well as some interesting, seemingly Korean-inspired fusion items. Service was extremely fast, friendly and helpful. There is music playing but its not too loud, making this a great spot for date night or a dinner meeting. The interior is a dark, contemporary style with some nice photo backdrops. Nothing too fancy, but definitely upscale compared to your typical Vietnamese dive. If you arent sure what to get, but looking to try something you wont find elsewhere nearby, try the Saigon Style Platter. This generously portioned platter contains a range of skewers and meats you might find in some of the best street food carts in Saigon. The betel leaf wrapped beef (bo la lot) is hands-down the best I've had outside of Vietnam (barring my wife's of course). We also tried the Salty Egg Tofu which was delicious. The texture falls somewhere between chewy and crispy, with a mouth-watering amount of salty egg in the sauce. You can also order by-the-skewer if you're not looking for a full meal, which would go great as a quick snack alongside one of the local beers they've got in stock or on tap. read more

Very respectable, above average but ultimately middle-of-the-road veggie pho. There are so many places in Greater Van for vegetarian/vegan pho now, so it's hard to stand out. But I decided to stop in and try their veggie pho ($13.50). The soup came out within 10 minutes, with a generous portion of veggies (loads of broccoli and carrot mostly), with plenty of deep fried tofu, with medium-width rice noodles. The broth is of course what makes or breaks a pho, and the veggie broth was quite nice -- gentle, but adequately seasoned, not too oily or salty, and amped up nicely by the chili oil. Not the most complex veggie broth by a long shot, but very respectable. Friendly staff, well-priced, good portion, and a pleasant environment (nicer than your average hole in the wall pho joint). Decent spot for veggie pho out in New West. read more

They have the usual stuff you would find at other Vietnamese restaurants. I ordered the lemongrass chicken/pork, and I don't think it's quite as good as the ones I've had before. Not bad, but somewhat meh. Same goes for their pho, which my husband ordered. I really liked the salted egg tofu though. And their strawberry milkshake. read more

We went to this a few months after it opened and was pleasantly delighted by the elegant environment (complete with instagrammable angel wing background!) and excellent service. It was a great place to hang out, chill and have a wonderful conversation. Unlike many pho places, it was super clean and comfortable. The food was extremely well priced! I ordered a beef pho and my friend ordered a grilled chicken dish. Portions were huge and generous when prices were less than $15 per person! You can barely even find a burger at this price now. Love how you can customized your dish with add ons. I would definitely come again. Great addition to new west. The below are not my pics because we were too distracted eating and taking to take pics, but you get an idea of the cool ambience. Check them out!! 4.5/5 stars from me for value. read more

Not sure where all the negative reviews are coming from, but this place was amazing. Got the steak and it tasted amazing and was good value. Definitely on par or better than places in Vancouver that charge way more. Service was also great. Will definitely go again and try more things! read more

Lovely, charming place, good service when required, but food was a huge disappointment. Supposedly grilled pork was not best quality meat, tasted liked warmed up fried tough pieces of meat with little flavour except salt, rice came dry with nothing, vegetables basically garnish with nothing!! on it. Chicken dish with greasy noodles, untrimmed meat, included skin bits and cartilage, topped with mozzarella cheese? Seriously?? in a Vietnamese restaurant? one of the poorest meals we ever had. Minus stars. read more
