I wish I could give more stars.Yesterday, I came in to buy a bottle of water. The owner couldve 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. Hes 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. Thats how you know a place is great without even going in.

Excellent food and the owner is very friendly. We go here at least once a week. The teas are also the best I’ve had in the union city area.

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!)

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 😊.

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.

I used to visit this place every time Im in Union City. Until I got a dead fly in my pho. It was disgusting. I pointed it out right away, they did nothing, didnt even offer to get me a new one. I left right away and never went back.You truly get what you pay for.

Tiny front. Everything is clean and welcoming. I ordered a jenjon burger. It has correctly melted cheese and crunchy toasted buns. Its all Id ask for at 11am.

Incredible food for incredible price! Takes a while to prepare your food, but it is worth to wait! Tea is the best tea ever!

The space inside is small and cozy. Food tasted fine. Took a veggie sandwich and a basil chicken/rice. Both tasted fine. They dont serve bagel as youll see written on the outside wall. Staffs were nice.

Affordable and delicious. Not to mention quick. I am so happy this place is a short walk from my house. Their banh mi is some of the best Ive ever had. Seating is limited as the shop is in a strip mall, but I prefer it to go anyway.

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.Im hoping on my next visit I get the same quality of taste as I got the first two times.

This place is AWESOME! They have just about everything you might want (except steaks). They have good Asian plates and wonderful Vietnamese sandwiches! They have many different kinds of drinks too. From Coke and Teas/Water to Tapioca ball drinks. They are also very friendly. You should go check it out!

Ordered their deluxe (tomato, extra meat, avocado) grilled pork banh mi and their Thai Tea. Both of them were very good. Kid got their double cheese burger - which was also fairly good.

Jenjons is an amazing value. Being vegetarian, their options include sandwiches and noodles. The sandwiches are very good and tasty, though not huge. The noodles portion is huge, but dont have a ton of flavor. Everything is dirt cheap. Im shocked these guys are not more packed.

Ordered their pineapple fried rice and vietnamese bbq sandwich (banh mi). Both were satisfactory. Portions are great, but really nothing special about them. Fried rice was pretty plain (white rice, sparse pieces of veggies, a few pineapple chunks), aside from pepper seasoning and bits of cilantro. The banh mi was good, but Ive definitely had better. On the plus side, prices were low, so its a good place for stopping by for a meal but I wouldnt go out of my way for it.

This place is unpretentious alright, but you get what you pay for, which is not bad. Decent taste and prices, but dont expect any authentic flavors.
