J.A.M Viet Kitchen & Bar

I went here for Mother's Day with my sister and our cousin's immediate family for lunch. The wait wasn't long at all for a table of 5. The waitress was very friendly and even gave us Ferrero Rocher at the end of our meal. The place was cute and clean, with a noise level that allowed for easy conversation.Regarding the food: * The prawns were slightly overcooked, scoring a 3/10. * The Bo Ne was tasty but didn't stand out compared to other locations I've tried before, earning a 7.5/10. * The Pho Dac Bich with bone marrow was excellent, packed with meat and flavorful spices in the broth, earning an 8.5/10. * Although the Banh Canh Cua was slightly runnier than I prefer for this dish, it still contained a good amount of protein, rating a 6/10. * The crispy Banh Bot Chien was topped with roe and Chinese sausage, a rare find in Vietnamese restaurants, and scored an 8.5/10.Would I come back? - Yes Do I think it really stands out from many Viet restaurants serving similar dishes? - No

Service was great! The design and ambience of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. The presentation of the food is put together nicely. The overall taste and flavor of all the foods was decent but not the usual type of Vietnamese food I am familiar with; however, it is still good to eat. The best dish that we ate was the nui xao thit bo. The least favorite dish was the banh xeo taco as it had too much thick batter and the fish sauce was not a favorite as it had a certain taste almost like apple cider vinegar that I didn't think it worked well with it. Food: 3.5/5Service: 4/5Ambience: 5/5

The Pho here is super good! Their lunch special menu has great prices so would definitely recommend trying that it ends at 2 pm. I've tried their tofu and brisket pho and I love it! The service is great it gets busy sometimes but they still don't make you wait too long and it's a cute place with a nice ambiance too. Recently, they renovated and have a bar setup too now. For pho lovers, go try this out!

Service here was great. I was warmly greeted upon arrival and my husband, my dog, and I were seated immediately. The furniture was sleek m, but comfortable. The decor reminded me of restaurants I visit in OC. Also, this is the most dog friendly restaurant I have ever been to. Our server asked if my dog would like some water and he brought out a plastic tub for her.I ordered the Banh Xeo because I always order it when I given the opportunity. It was served with a small carafe of fish sauce. I added some sriracha and it was glorious.Next, I had pho ga. I'm a little weirded out by eating chicken and egg together. Feeling wrong, but still going for it, I dove face first into the experience of the best chicken pho I've had in a long time.Full disclosure, I live in SATX. One of the things we don't get often is fresh rice noodles in soup. I always end up eating dried rice noodles.. it's a hard life. When offered the fresh noodles, I went for it. Worth it for that slightly oily but pillowy chew of fresh noodles.Thank you Houston and thank you JAM.

The food was really good, we got the pork egg rolls and they come with lettuce and yummy fish sauce, The special pho was packed full of meat and I couldn't even finish it, however the broth wasn't my favorite and lacked flavor in my personal opinion. My boyfriend got the Bo Ne and it was super yummy! The bread was delicious and everything one the plate tested good, also came with a small side salad which was yummy as well. The inside of the place was clean and not too loud or busy which is perfect for me. The service was just okay. This restaurant also has a full bar but we just got water.

Pho so good they sell out!! J.A.M.'s service & food are top notch! A local food influencer posted the pho at J.A.M. & after seeing her post I couldn't wait to check it out! I'm sure I wasn't the only one "influenced" to try their pho since her post went viral & sure enough, they were sold out of the pho I wanted when I arrived around 3pm but to my surprise the chef whipped up a "SPECIAL" pho which he explained was something new & an off-menu exclusive. I was one of the first to try their "special pho" & it's now made it on to their menu. I've had good pho but I've never had pho quite like this with bone marrow & all! I want to thank the chef for making me a special bowl of pho, it was absolutely delicious & I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Pretty happy with this spot for lunch. Prompt service, delicious food with good serving sizes at a good price. They make the food a little bland so you have to make your own spice. The place is cute. We did have to chase down the waiter at the end to get a check because they use an all digital POS system. We also never got our water refilled and it wasn't clear if you get refills on the drinks from the lunch special or not. Looking forward to coming back again!

I recently tried one of the newest Vietnamese restaurants in Houston, known for its modern take on Vietnamese cuisine. Located in a bustling plaza with various dining options, parking can be a challenge due to the shared lot.Service was okay a bit slow for not a lot of customer dining in. As for the design of the restaurant, it had a dark moody feel to it at night. Probably a different feel during the day when there is more light shining through. Opting for the shaken beef with a side of steamed rice, I found it somewhat lacking in flavor compared to the traditional dishes I'm accustomed to, especially those prepared by my mom. Additionally, the portion size seemed smaller compared to other Vietnamese eateries in Bellaire.Overall, I don't foresee myself returning frequently, if at all, due to the underwhelming flavor, pricing, and portion size.

I'm actually quite suprised with this establishment! Good location, good service. Food came out quick! Flavorful and authentic. We loved it, will be returning regularly!

New restaurant on Westheimer Road towards Highway 6 if you're coming from the beltway. It's an area with lots of other chains around it next to a five guys. I went with 5 other friends and a baby and it was spacious enough to fit us all. I think it would be great for large groups as well as intimate date. We went at 7 and people were coming in slowly around 8 probably for a late dinner. Service was great, we were seated promptly, server was nice and attentive. I tried the Com Bo Luc lac and flavor was ON POINT! One of the better ones I've tried. I asked them to make it medium rare and it WAS, surprisingly. It's served on a hot sizzling pan with onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Very colorful plate nicely done although the rice seems to be broken rice. I prefer regular steamed rice because It was a bit dry for my liking. The oysters were AMAZING! I forgot what it's called but it's the first option, it's on their winter menu and Good Lord, there are no words. You've just got to taste it if you ever come to J.A.M! 5/5 would come again just for the oysters.
