    Clean the tank... poor fish...  ;-(
    Neal D.

    I have visited this place several times and have found the quality of the food has continually degraded. It's a shame as the bo and pho was generally really good but the food was just not very good this last visit. It seems like the cook/recipes have changed as well as their selection of ingredients. Poorer quality and preparation have been the recent experiences. Also, their fish tank is cloudy with unhealthy fish. It's reflective of the care they are putting into their business. Furthermore, it's not right to keep fish in such a poor environment, ugh...

    The spring rolls and shrimp were fresh. Pho and pork dishes were ok. There was no flavor. The produce was all good, just resulted in bland dishes

    Theis pho place is a small restaurant most likely for the vietnamese customer. I order a pho and asked if i could have it with tendon and tripe only. The did not comply. The said it was asi they had it. So customer is not always right. So i purchased what tbe wanted to sell me. Lucky me the pho was decent. A little salty but good. I enjoyed my soup. Price is a little higher than the rest of the country. Upper teens in dollars where in most places around the usa are aroung 7 dollars

    I live in Houston and every time I come to Lubbock, my trip isn't complete unless I save some time for Saigon. It's been consistently delicious for the last decade I've eaten here. Firm, yet soft, perfect noodles. Perfect pork with not a lot of gross fat and fresh veggies and crisp spring rolls. I don't have a single complaint.

    The food isn't terrible but it's not worth the money. Being that I payed for a service it should taste way better. I had the beef and it tasted spoiled. My friend had the rice and it was unflavored. I asked if they could do something about it and they refused. No partial refund, no recooking, no replacing. Other than that the staff was nice.

    Pho!!

    It's crazy to say but this place has amazing pho! I'm from Houston and I've had my fair share of pho and this is by far the BEST. The staff is really really nice and the place is fairly clean. They could use some music but overall the food is great!

    C-11. The tiny spring rolls and not enough veggies underneath

    This place doesn't sell the traditional banh mi sandwiches. When I got here, the menu was on the wall. I ordered the fresh spring rolls (which were on the small side) and the C-11 which is fried spring rolls over vermicelli & veggies. Those spring rolls were tiny as well. When I ordered the girl asked me how spicy I wanted my C-11.... I paused and looked at her kind of crazy. In all my life eating at Vietnamese restaurants I've NEVER been asked how spicy I wanted a spring roll. But it was the sauce that came on the side. My fresh spring rolls barely had any shrimp, and the shrimp were tiny. My fried spring rolls on too of my bun (rice vermicelli noodles) looked anorexic. I get that this is west Texas, but lacking authenticity doesn't also have to lack quantity.

    Their portions are a bit on the small side, but the taste is fantastic. The C10 is a must and the c28 which is a spicy seafood Pho.

    I pulled off the road with a serious quake, This place was…read morehandy, my bowels were at stake. The place was clean, and the water ran strong, The stall lock held tight, so nothing went wrong. The potty seat was clean, which is hard to beat, And plenty of butt paper hung next to the seat. I thanked my good fortune and sat myself down, Probably the best bathroom in all of this town. I'm giving this bathroom eight points out of ten, That's near a perfect review from this old man. I would've graded it higher, and I'd have given it a nod, But number on the stall wall wasn't Martha, it was Bob.

    When I first started school at Texas Tech, I was looking for a good coffee shop to study and spend…read moremy time at. For a while, whenever I asked for recommendations, I was always told J&B Coffee. I went there for the first time in 2022 believing they would be the coffee that saved me and truly show me what West Texas coffee roasters and brewers have to offer. Oh buddy, I was wrong. I want to start by saying the atmosphere of J&B is incredible. Inside feels like a time capsule to the early 2000s coffee craze with their beverage menu written on a chalkboard, the brick and wood decor, the massive windows bringing natural light into the building, and the space being large and welcoming. There are a few areas to choose from at J&B which include the busy and social front space, the back room for focus and quiet, the upstairs conference room for group meetings, and the outdoor wrap around seating that is typically shaded for a nice afternoon chat. The staff is always very friendly especially with how slammed J&B seems to be on a frequent basis with a line usually reaching the door. Their aesthetic is extremely welcoming. It is like a mistrusting hug. A false sense of comfort before you actually get your beverages. Regardless of getting an espresso based beverage hot or iced, I think it is the worst coffee in Lubbock. I have gotten grounds in my coffee, burnt beans, and straight up unfinishable beverages from J&B, and it is disappointing every time. Last time I went, I tried the Sopapilla Latte which was their September Cause Drink featuring horchata powder, honey, and cinnamon, and it just did not do it for me again. My girlfriend and I went back to see if anything had improved, but our verdict remained the same which was not good. I was an officer in an organization at Tech and during our meetings one officer always suggested J&B. We would go biweekly and their beverages became so unbearable to me that I started exclusively ordering London Fogs to avoid espresso. They started recognizing me for ordering London Fogs frequently. Their pastries are usually pretty good. I have had banana nut bread and blueberry muffins from there that are excellent. They also have a kitchen where they serve sandwiches and other items that people seem to enjoy. I have not tried a meal there. My girlfriend told me she had to stop going to J&B because the smell was so putrid to her. She described it as a coffee smell that was not aromatic and warm but comparable to a coffee left on the counter with creamer in it until it reaches its lukewarm state of tragic existence. You could leave J&B in the evening and sometimes the glorious smell of cow dookie blowing in the wind like Bob Dylan would be comparable to being inside. It is like visiting that one buddy who swears he is not addicted to the broccoli and you throw your clothes in the washer and pray the smell leaves your cotton tees. I do like that they are open pretty late compared to the other heavy hitters in Lubbock. I was working on my graduate thesis and needed to get out of the house after many hours at the library, so I opted for J&B. It worked for that experience, but I ordered a tea. Another plus is their massive cork bulletin board which makes J&B a perfect hub for finding events in the community, clubs and organizations for the hoards of college kids stepping inside every week, and more like piano lessons or people needing someone to join a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. They also host a lot of events from live music to trivia and comedy shows which is also pretty awesome. After this last visit, I finished my latte and found remaining grounds in my coffee. It was disappointing because their space deserves love for being a perfect hub of productivity, but they do not have the product to back it up. A lot of people I know do not go to J&B as their personal choice. Someone else always suggests it for a group project or meeting, and then you find out they only come for the J&B Arnold Palmer which leaves you choosing between the most mediocre espresso drink of your life. A triple bogey. I want to love J&B more, I really do, but it continues to haunt the residents of Lubbock and the students of Texas Tech. It welcomes you with a beautiful atmosphere then reveals itself to be a heel with its evil all along coffee. A wolf in sheep's clothing. A wolf in an apron, maybe? RIYL: Torturing your partners in a group project but loving a good atmosphere.
