From someone who, to date, has only been experiencing Jay N Dee Food House's mouthwatering menu vicariously through family & friends, five stars may seem an overrated evaluation.
But this rating comes from someone who, seeking Jay N Dee's help in reaching out to loved ones, has had several transactions with the food house (from its main branch in Bayambang to its recently launched San Carlos City Branch) for the past 11 months amounting to a total of nearly an entire month's worth of pay.
What keeps one coming back? It is the service of its friendly & accommodating staff, which exudes warmth that can be felt even from afar. Transactions with them feel like working on goals with friends. This is not to say that it has always been a smooth ride; there have been a few lapses too, but the staff's desire to keep improving is evident & appreciable.
Friends report the food to be really good, which does more than justice to how it looks on the food house's well thought-of social media posts. Jay N Dee Food House's beef nachos, mojos, & sandwiches are excellent merienda fare. Their chicken wings, which come in three categories of flavors - savory, sweet, & spicy - are a must-try; these have always earned praises, living up to their slogan, "We do wings right."
Their pasta selections can also be referred to as labors of love, delicious as much as they are filling. While the Doña Leonora, Pesto Rigato, & Gambas y Champigñones should never be missed, their other pasta dishes are a proof that there is something for everyone on Jay N Dee Food House's menu.
Even as the food house also showcases items from global cuisine like Korea's ramyeon and tteokbokki, it celebrates the beauty of Filipino cooking. This is seen in its take on party food like pancit, lumpiang shanghai (they are larger than average!), & dynamite spring rolls. Even in more ordinary fare like silog meals, Jay N Dee Food House's emphasis on quality graciously shines through.
The bebidas are also to be sought after. From its earlier collaborations with HeBrews 11:1 Milk Tea Shop, to its own versions of café staples like hot brews, frappes, smoothies, & lattés, to its bold ventures into soju-laced drinks, Jay N Dee Food House serves wonderful drinks to its diners.
That the food house counts among its staff baristas who have had, among other feathers on their caps, solid work experience with Caffe La Tea - one of the equally respected names in casual dining in northern & central Luzon - imparts a touch of excellence to these creatively crafted drinks.
Jay N Dee Food House certainly commits its brand to good taste, which it cultivates through learning & innovation, as it continues to serve customers hefty servings of delightful fare at reasonable prices.
Another thing I love about Jay N Dee Food House is how it takes care of people & contributes to communal wellbeing. The brand has been actively reminding its customers of basic health protocols. Also, recently, it has started sponsoring a community pantry in Bayambang, as well as supported a virtual lecture series on culture & history in San Carlos City.
From its humble beginnings in Bayambang, it is inevitable that clamor would grow for Jay N Dee Food House to serve more customers. Thus, aside from opening a branch in Rosales, Jay N Dee has made its much-awaited debut in San Carlos City, among the most vibrant hubs in Pangasinan's casual dining scene.
There, the brand thrives in living its passion and purpose, helping people share great moments through good food.
The best way to a man's heart is through his stomach, they say. In my case, it is the other way around: Jay N Dee Food House won my heart first. For persons like me who choose not to travel far during this pandemic, the food house has been a very helpful distant companion in expressing affection to the people I love and joining them in important moments of their lives through food deliveries.
Definitely, dining in their San Carlos City branch is one of the first things I eagerly look forward to and will do once I am able to go home...
