J Cafe Boba Tea & Sandwich

Food "delish" had the chicken and beef Pho, very rich devious broth, did not have bun bo hue, evidently only a certain person makes it there. Ribbed the cashier he was very pleasant. Will be back to give it another go.

First time coming in, was very impressed with the food. This is a good place to enjoy a nice meal. It's expensive, however the quality of the food is very impressive and you get what you pay for. The ingredients are fresh, obviously made to order by experienced cooks and the customer service is good. It's a small , locally owned business as well If you want trash food , go to McDonald's or some other fast food place. You want quality ingredients that taste great and are traditional Vietnamese, come here. You won't be disappointed. The smoothies are delicious as well.

Very good food and pretty fast service. It feels uninviting, though, that they don’t provide free ice water. We often get a milk tea but it would be nice to have water too without having to buy a bottled water, especially when the menu prices are on the high side already (I think the prices are higher now than what is shown here online). The pho is really good and I love the house made curry with sweet potatoes and tofu or chicken, and the jasmine rice.

I have no idea why this cafe is not more popular. The prices are very reasonable for everything on the menu. I ordered the chicken curry and a coconut milk tea. Both were priced well below what you would find in Columbia or saint Louis and yet, the portions were very large. I am quite the foodie but I couldn't even finish all of it! The atmosphere is very relaxing and quiet as well. It is also probably the cleanest restaurant in JC to boot. The curry was perfectly balanced and had plenty of flavor which paired beautifully with the white rice. The milk tea was a generous size and although very sweet, was still very much enjoyable. To top it all off, the service was extremely quick. Quicker than anywhere I've ever been honestly. I'm talking ~5 minutes to get both my curry and drink. And I wasn't even the only person there. I will certainly be coming back try the other menu items.

I always order the Bánh xèo because it's my favorite dish. The veggies are always super fresh and their egg rolls are DELICIOUS. I also tend to get their chocolate boba smoothie because it's the best tasting chocolate smoothie ever. The service is good too, I usually place an order to go and they get my order right. So overall, I've had a positive experience with them.

You order at the front desk and then take your seat, which is a slight departure from traditional sit-down service. The establishment was clean, and the customer service was excellent. The pho broth was flavorful, and the crepe had a perfectly crispy and amazing shell, although the meat inside could benefit from more seasoning or perhaps grilling, as it tasted boiled. The sandwich was shorter than a typical banh mi, but it was still delicious.

We had to go to Jefferson City to do some paper work. Stop by here to get lunch. The place was quiet. The cashier was nice, and talked to us in a polite way. The chef did a great job with the food. Come out and check on us to see if we were happy with the food. The price was alright, not too low but not too high. We were so busy eating that we forgot to order drinks so the cashier saw us and asked if we needed any drinks. We said yes , and he kindly brought it to our table. Would definitely return in the future.

Seriously amazing. I’ve been to a good 20-30 restaurants specifically for Pho and this was hands down Top 3 best pho I’ve had. Savory, rich broth. Nice cuts of meat, fresh vegetables. We also got a smoothie before we left and it was incredible… makes me never want smoothie king again.
