J.A.M Viet Kitchen & Bar

It's a great place for small bites and drinks with colleagues or dates without spending ridiculous amounts. The food's presentation is great and makes you feel fancy. Their shaking beef, popcorn chicken, fried tofu, egg rice cake, and oysters—pretty much everything we tried—are good, except for the Pho. Their pho broth could use some improvement. It looks good; it doesn't taste good, but it's not so horrible that you cannot eat it. Their Pho failed me, so if you love Pho and are picky about it, this isn't the place. However, other dishes are good. I'd definitely come back.

The place was pretty packed when we got there for lunch. Had to wait for a bit to get a table. Was a little disappointed when the food came. It all looked really good but a lot of the dishes were bland, not very tasty. The Saigon Oi plate looked like a killer but it didn't slay anything. Was very disappointing. I'm thinking they forgot the flavor somewhere. The crab udon noodles, same thing, bland. For the price points of these dishes, more attention should be given to flavoring. The only dish with flavoring was the chicken wings. Very disappointed. Presentation is good but tastes trumps everything and was not delivered.

Jam Viet Kitchen was such a great find! The vibe inside is warm, relaxed, and really inviting—it feels like the kind of place you want to hang out in for a while. We tried the pho and it was incredible—rich broth, fresh herbs, and so comforting. The egg rolls were perfectly crispy and packed with flavor, and everything came out hot and fresh. Service was friendly and quick, which made the whole experience even better. We left full and happy, already talking about what we want to try next time. Definitely a new favorite spot! AND they have a bar!

The first time I decided to come to J.A.M Viet. When we ordered pad Thai, I thought it was wide noodles not thin noodles. I know it’s not the restaurant’s fault since I didn’t ask them before I order. I only told my man about the mistake with the order that I made but Giang (Audrey) overheard my story and offered an exchange for the thin noodles without extra charge. I appreciate about that a lot since she can just choose not to intervene but she did. Not too many restaurants do that. It was a good service from her. She was very kind. This restaurant is lucky to have an employee like her. Because of her service, it makes us want to come back. The foods here are delicious and very tasty. Today, I came back again for a long time & saw “ Giang”. She still work here & we talked a lot. When my man told her about my birthday, which happened 2 days ago, she gave me a banana ice cream for free! If you come here and somehow managed to have her as your service, you will love it.

Update (11/9/25): Fried fish didn’t match the menu pic (see attached) but still tasty. Everything else was just okay. Quality is unfortunately hit or miss. . . Update: Came back with the family because we loved our experience so much the first time around. Food was good but didn't have that "WOW" factor on a Sunday evening. One thing that made the evening less than ideal was an awkward interaction with the server Sue who seemed a bit too "nonchalant" about serving us. I won't get into the details unless the owner wants to speak to me but it was such a contrast to our first experience here with an exceptional waitress who unfortunately was not there this evening. We will likely return because we truly love this restaurant and want to see it do well, but we would kindly request another server next time. . . . 5 stars plus! We looooved all the dishes we ordered and we are already planning our next trip back. Bo ne was excellent. Huge portions and great flavor. I really enjoyed the grilled pork chop. Tender and flavorful. The pomelo salad was a favorite as others have mentioned. Our kids enjoyed the pho ga with fresh noodles. They were kind enough to split the bowl without a charge. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was clean and pleasant. We will be sharing this with friends!

Modern meets traditional Vietnamese cuisines. When I think of viet food I think of mom and pop shops, but this place brought mom and pop shop prices and flavor into a modern atmospheric restaurant! It's a great place for a lunch date or even an outing with friends! The portions are sharable with an extra person or for one person depending on how hungry you are! I was amazed to see the food come out, plated so nicely, but once I took the first bite, I was in the motherlands!

I recently dined at this Vietnamese restaurant, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The standout for me was the pomelo salad—a refreshing, vibrant dish that perfectly balances sweetness, tang, and a subtle savory kick. It’s a must-try and one of the best versions I’ve had. The rice cake also deserves a special mention. It was served hot, with a wonderfully crispy texture that added so much character to the dish. Every bite was satisfying and well-executed. What tied everything together was their fish sauce, uniquely blended with a touch of mango. It added a fruity twist to the traditional dipping sauce, enhancing the flavor profile of every dish it accompanied. If you're craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine with a creative flair, this place is definitely worth a visit.

I’ve been here more than ten times, and I’ve never had an issue before, but today was extremely disappointing. The first pork chop I ate at the restaurant was still pink inside, which has never happened before, so I informed the server that the meat was undercooked. The server apologized and said they would remake a new one for me. I requested the replacement to be fully cooked and packed to go. However, when I got home and checked the new piece, it was even more pink than the one I originally sent back. This is pork, not beef, and I do not feel safe eating it when it is still pink. I called the restaurant again, but the way they handled the situation felt unprofessional compared to other restaurants. This is a serious food safety issue, and I hope the restaurant improves the way they prepare and check their food before serving it to customers.
