Jenjon's Cafe Union City Reviews
Indoor seating and some outdoors too. It's a nice little hole in the wall near the union city bart station. Food is a good portion, tasty, and if you get it for here it comes on proper plates which is both less wasteful and makes it feel more homey. It's really nicely plated they care about the appearance. The person behind the counter was super sweet. Smoothie was really good! And the mozerella sticks were cooked well. We'll be back for sure.
They have good vegetarian options. The roasted eggplant banh mi was great, and also the basil eggplant with pineapple fried rice was amazing. The tofu banh mi was also good but was lacking some sauce compared to the other one. Taro milk tea was good too. One banh mi alone might be small for one person, two might be too much.
I wish I could give more stars. Yesterday, I came in to buy a bottle of water. The owner could've let me pay $2 for a bottle of water, but he pointed the water container out to me and allowed me to have free water. He's an honest, kind man who deserves the best in life. I came back today and bought a regular sized Earl Grey milk tea. It was ready in about two minutes and intensely Earl Grey flavored. I highly recommend this cafe. When I walked by earlier, almost all the seats outside were occupied. This was in the middle of the afternoon. That's how you know a place is great without even going in.
This place is honestly a hidden gem! I went here with my friend to grab a quick lunch, he got the JenJon burger and I got the Teriyaki Chicken Banh Mi. Honestly I loved it so much, it had a good vegetables to meat ratio and was definitely worth the price! We got the Sexy Tea and Seductive Tea, honestly I preferred the Seductive Tea more but both were amazing nonetheless. The waiter was so nice and extremely patient, I loved it here and will definitely be coming back.
not overly priced, boba was under $6 and the tofu bahn mi surprised me since it also had avocado and tomato.
Cute little spot with great food at good prices. Pro: *Good food *Good prices *Super sweet and friendly service *Catering available Con: *Not good for large groups FYI: *Tiny little spot with about 3 tables (two 2 tops and one 4 tops) and some bar like seating along the window - BUT NEVER HAD A PROBLEM GETTING A SEAT
Cheapest best soup. It will hydrate a dehydrated man. Photo taken after a couple bites

Amazing food and service at a great price point. The portions are perfect and food was high quality with lots of great options. The boba was soft and tea was delicious. The decoration and ambience of the cafe was really cute and cozy, and I would absolutely recommend JenJon’s to anyone who wants a quick bite or to dine in.
The owner was very kind and friendly! We tried the beef brisket pho, pork chops with stir fry, spring rolls, and sweet potato fries! The fries were beautifully done! Crispy, crunchy, and tastyyy! Overall the food was amazing and the ambience was very lighthearted and friendly. 10/10 would recommend and would come again! Perfect spot for a intimate or quite bite! Perfect for a catch-up 😊.
Great beef filet soup, rice is so good also, everything I’ve had here has been good especially the Vietnamese ice coffee.
Milk tea with popping boba was good. Popcorn chicken was also good. It came out a little slow but it's probably because it's only one person working. We are coming back to try more for sure
JenJons cafe has great service and is a great place to work or hangout with friends. It has great food I personally like the spring rolls and egg rolls. The bubble tea is decent but there are other great bubble tea places around the corner (happy lemon and caffe in). The prices are extremely affordable and can be up to 6 to 20 dollars per person.
JenJon’s coffee always hits the spot for me! I crave it at least monthly as a midday pick me up. Their food is also good and is this place is an overall great lunch or snack spot!
This is an amazing spot to grab food. It's right next the the Union City Bart station, so getting there is very easy. The food taste amazing and the prices are reasonable! I recommend the combo deal + the peach tea they serve!
This is a small cafe but it is amazing. The food is very tasty and made from fresh products. It was very clean inside and the owner of the cafe is a very polite person. I recommend this place. Definitely one of the most delicious soups I have ever eaten.

The teas are phenomenal, the food is slightly above average - not bad. Seems like a lot of high school kids love it here, which is nice to see too! Small, unassuming shop with a large menu and quick turnaround. :) Small dining area gives space to sit and eat, but I probably wouldn’t come here to have a dine-in experience. But take-out is quick and easy and I’ll definitely be back! (Lots of parking and close to BART!)
Went to Jen Jon's on a whim yesterday, and I'm glad that I did! Tasty, good quality food, prepared well.

Had BBQ pork banh mi and shrimp fresh rolls. Both were good. The only knock is against the sandwich; no jalapenos. Really disappointing, and couldn't rectify it short returning as I got it to go. No excuse thinking I'm whitebread and don't eat peppers as I asked for Sriracha for my rolls instead of peanut sauce.

The space inside is small and cozy. Food tasted fine. Took a veggie sandwich and a basil chicken/rice. Both tasted fine. They don't serve bagel as you'll see written on the outside wall. Staffs were nice.
Last Saturday I bought 4 sandwiches but the quality was not as good as before. The bread did not have freshness and the ingredients felt the same as well. I'm hoping on my next visit I get the same quality of taste as I got the first two times.
