J's Asian Street Food — Restaurant in Tallahassee

This is my favorite place to eat at Tallahassee legit my go to but I had issues with my grubhub order 3 times, first time grubhub delivered wrong address (not their fault can’t blame them for this), second time the restaurant handed the food to the wrong driver (personally I believe this is the restaurants fault bc there should be someone either giving out the grubhub orders or making sure they’re placed in ways drivers won’t take wrong orders), third time they straight up cancelled it (this ones just on them I just placed it and it gets cancelled), no explanation, nothing, I called 2 different numbers after grubhub told me the restaurant canceled it on me for a “menu issue”, I believed something I ordered ran out so I wanted to get a hold of them because it’s the only thing I am craving, sick for 2 weeks, and I’m extremely exhausted today from my sickness, but it’s my only craving since 3 days; some nice pork buns, beef noodle soup, and some honey mango green tea. Called the number that was on grubhub app, was a cell phone number, called number I got from google they told me yea something I ordered ran out, but couldn’t find out what ran out so I cannot reorder my order because obviously the same issue is just gonna appear since I don’t know what ran out, I love this place but it’s like if there’s any issues and no one can help other than throwing some redeemable codes at me and giving me refund instead of being able to give me the food I tried to order I’m gonna me frustrated no matter which...

Excellent place to dine in. I have been here twice and I have loved it both times and I am sure I will be here again.

The hosts are really great and they make you feel comfortable and will explain the menu for you. The ambience is really warm and they have tried to recreate an Asian bamboo garden feel with all the plants and the umbrellas and everything. It's definitely a relaxing atmosphere inside. The restaurant also has outside seating arrangements.

The Baos are excellent here. We have tried both the sweet panko fried one and the pork belly bao and they were both amazing. The baos were fluffy and tasted sweet and great. The pork belly one in particular had great things going for it. The belly was fried really well and it was really soft and almost melted in your mouth. The spices were just perfect to my taste. The banana roti pratta was excellent, too, crispy and sweet inside. But the highlights, in my opinion were the little pieces of pork on the skewers. They were roasted so well and the spices were just popping. Amazing. You shouldn't miss them. The spring rolls were great, too. The Vietnamese sauce was just awesome. The Chicken Pad Thai could definitely have been better. The sauce in the pad thai was just not thick and flavorful. It had too much bell peppers and the chicken pieces were very dry and chewy. But I am sure it will be better next time. The prices here are not that bad. The portions are good too.

I highly recommend this place and will definitely be...

Gyōza dumplings and their sauce were very good. I enjoyed the lamb and shrimp skewers, although my family did not like the seasonings and they might be a little zippy for some people; perfect zip for me though. Roasted duck ramen was disappointing. A couple of the pieces of (bone in, which I did not expect) duck were tender, but the rest were chewy to almost hard and most did not seem as warm as the soup, as if they'd plopped in refrigerated pieces at the last minute, although the pieces did have a very good roasted duck flavor and the skin was nicely cooked/caramelized. It was supposed to have scallions, ginger, and tofu and there were none of any of those that I could find, visually or taste-wise. Presentation was pieces of duck and a whole brownish-gray soft-boiled egg on top of noodles with some bamboo shoots, a little bit of fresh cilantro, and a few slivers of mushroom mixed in and would get them kicked off of any cooking show contest I've ever seen. There was also a huge sheet of dried seaweed that I am sure added some flavor, but that I would have preferred less of and cut up. Broth was good and noodles were cooked right. Overall, it was bland and not very appetizing. I will give this place another shot, as it has promise and they are relatively new, but I wish that I had sent back the ramen after realizing that it was missing ingredients and finding out how tough some of...
