Janbo Cafe — Restaurant in Everett

I had an overall pleasant experience at the boba tea place. It was very easy to find, conveniently located right in the heart of the shopping district. As soon as I walked in, the vibe was inviting, with a cozy atmosphere that made it a great spot to relax. I got in and ordered right away, eager to try some of their unique flavors.

I came specifically for some boba tea, and I was excited to see the variety they had on the menu. After scanning the options, I settled on a classic milk tea while my friend opted for a fruity mix. Each drink was priced at around 10 bucks, which I thought was reasonable given the quality of ingredients they seemed to use.

While the drinks were being prepared, I noticed a TV mounted at the front of the shop. It played a loop of someone preparing the same food items they offer on their menu. It was fascinating to watch, and it added an interactive touch to the experience. I couldn't tell if it was an employee from the shop on the screen or just a generic video, but it made the wait more engaging.

It took a bit longer than expected for them to bring the drinks out—maybe they take their time to ensure everything is made just right. However, the wait was worth it. When my boba tea finally arrived, it was refreshing and delicious, perfectly balanced in flavor with just the right amount of sweetness.

In addition to the boba, they had a variety of snacks available, which made it tempting to consider coming back for a light bite next time. All in all, it was a great experience, and I really appreciated the ambiance and the unique touches they added to make the visit enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back to try more flavors and maybe grab a snack to accompany...

This was probably my 3rd or 4th time here over the past couple of years. It has always been tasty pho, but tonight's visit deserves a rave review. I love pho and like to try new places when I can- I've struggled to find my go to here in Everett, though, and now I can say Janbo is my favorite bowl so far. I came by close to closing, was welcomed warmly and received a delicious, steaming fresh tai pho. The Jalapeños were thick sliced and spicy, limes very fresh as well as the bean sprouts. The broth was fantastic and the serving of meat was hearty (I ordered a large).

They also have chili crisp oil, not all places do anymore and it's my favorite condiment for pho.

What was really special in addition was the service. The young waiter tonight was friendly and clearly passionate about the experience- I also got to hear him talking with regulars and talk excitedly about plans to open a patio next summer for BBQ. As the weather turns and I find myself wanting pho more often than not, I will definitely be making this place my go-to spot.

The space itself is just the right size, not cramped but not so large as to feel odd eating pho by myself. Cozy and well lit, very clean....

I came here with a fairly large group. The staff were very quick and helpful in adjusting tables to accommodate our group. Overall I thought the staff provided us with great service. There is a wide variety of different Asian food options here. I personally opted for the Sate Beef Noodle Soup. The portion sizes were a lot larger than I thought they would be, especially considering they had very reasonable prices. The soup came out nice and hot and full of good beef cuts and good broth flavor. I was really impressed by the soup as my group was impressed by the quality and quantity of food for the prices we were paying. I definitely want to try more dishes here. Although I really liked the spot, I can only give 4 stars since I thought cleanliness could be improved a bit. Some of our tea cups and water cups were not cleaned thoroughly and there were lots of mosquitoes in the restaurant. One mosquito flew in to my water. Other than the minor cleanliness gripes, I did really enjoy the food and thought there is a strong value proposition for food quality/quantity to...
