We always stop by J- petal when we're in the area. The Hawaiian poke (tuna) is very good and flavorful. The fruit island crepe is delicious! So yummy! This time we tried the j-petal fruit tea, which is a mix of different fruit flavors. Also very good! Service was fast and friendly. They also have a lot of seating inside. Some are like benches and some like couches. Either way a very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. read more

Their women's bathroom needs some TLC: The toilet does not flush well, and the hand towel dispenser is out of order. Moreover, the lid of the trash does not open properly. The cold brew coffee with chocolate balls is good even without any syrup. The customer service from the lady with glasses was great. Would love to visit again for the non-sweet coffee that ends with "caf" on the menu. read more

This is apparently a chain. The location in this college town stands out from other offerings in the region. They have both a bubble tea and crepe operation as well as a separate poke bowl stand in the same room. I chose a rice crepe with chocolate and banana filling. I was a bit disappointed in that when I've had these crepes elsewhere, there were often all sorts of distinctive and creative combinations, but in this case it was really just chocolate and banana. Having said that, their chocolate truffles were quite good. $12 or so was a bit much for a basic crepe, but potentially a worthy treat on occasion. read more

The milk tea was ok. The inside is cute and the staff is friendly. Is better than king fu tea but wouldn't say it's amazing

The ambiance is very relaxing kinda beach I would even say with the bright colors everywhere. Open concept. And pretty good service. Food has stayed good even tho owners have switched I believe throughout the years idk how many times though. Making my own poke bowls here are delicious read more

Loved their boba when I was in college. Wait times weren't long and the crepes were delicious. Poke bowls are also spectacular. Amazing place still to this day! read more

This place has sadly went downhill. I used to love the poke bowls. Went there today and couldn't believe not only the lack of ingredients but also observed that what was available did not appear to be fresh. Since I had already paid, I ordered what few items I could. The rice was hard like it had sat out all day. After a couple bites, I had to pitch it. I wasn't about to chance getting food poisoning from low quality ingredients. read more

Please note that you cannot bring outside food/drinks!! I ordered banana chocolate crepe, but since the rest of my party (3) got KungFu tea, I couldn't eat my crepe there. By the time I was able to eat it the ice cream melted. It wasn't appetizing. If I would've known that little tidbit, wouldn't have purchased it. read more

The restaurant is set up is cute, they had a nice flower wall with a swing. And along the walls they had pictures of their menu items. There are couch's and a lot of other seating inside too. The man who took our orders was patient and kind, and the ice cream came out relatively quick. I ordered the Thai tea snow ball. And it was delicious. It's shaved frozen Thai tea, and the condensed milk on top really made the flavors pop. read more

Everything here left me wanting more! If I could describe it one word - meh. Ordered 3 poke bowls and a bubble tea. It wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't go back. I was first drawn to the place because it was one of the only Asian/bubble tea places nearby. The desserts looked good in the pictures, so we ventured toward the food, too. The menu was sooo long! They sell many items here - crepe, pizza and more. They're all over the place theme-wise. It would be helpful if they focused and developed a small handful of menu items further, and specialized in a few dishes instead of trying to please every palate. Perhaps the taste would be better and concept more unique. The staff was friendly, but it took us forever to get our orders. They said they were still cooking rice for us. We ordered one of the mango/salmon signature bowls, expecting it to be their best item because of how it was described on the menu. It was super expensive for what it was - a great heaping of rice and then skimping on salmon. I was expecting more for our buck. Tastier salmon, maybe? More umami and melded flavors? It had a lot of mangoes in it - but they weren't very ripe. We had to endure a lot of fibrous chewing to get to the soft rice and salmon. Nothing to write home about. My bubble tea was too sickly sweet. Took a while to finish. It's unfortunate because I'm still rooting for them to be more established and reliable here. read more

My Son is a massive Boboa fan and while we're next door ordering a Boboa tea he stated he was hungry and wanted to try J-Petal. As we are passing through on our way back to NY, I was of the opinion that these crepe sandwiches would not be road food. Boy was I correct. These are better eaten at a table. For me the sweet crepe was too sweet and made an odd paring with the savory steak option. Perhaps if the crepe was not so sweet it would have been a petter combo. But,I can see where the sweet crepe would make a good match with one of the dessert options. My Son did not enjoy his Chicken Teriyaki crepe but the steak was good (minus the distributor of the sweet crepe). read more

Excellent staff and owner was outstanding in hospitality. WIDE selection and incredibly comfortable amenities including couches and a swing bench. We have been to MANY poke places and this place stands toe to toe with the best of them. My ONLY request is that they get Fresh Jalapeño as they only had pickled jalapeno and my wife hates pickled lol. 10/10 on all fronts. Look at my picture, I ordered the beef/steak in my bowl!! No complaints. I accidentally left my prescription glasses and had to call the owner as I live 4 hours away. He was happy to take down my information and assist in helping me get back my glasses!!! read more

We grabbed some quick boba teas and a milkshake while passing through town. The coffee milk boba tea my wife got made her very happy. The other couple with us got Thai ice cream rolls. As this was a new treat for them, they were excited to try something new. And they were pleasantly surprised with the taste, texture, and value. A yummy treat to make the rest of the car ride home a little more upbeat. Would come back. One caveat is that things have a bit of a floral note that was not expected. But still delicious. read more

As a precursor, we just moved to the area from Waco, TX, which also has a JPetal that we LOVE. So when we saw one over here we were very excited. However, we have ordered here 3 times and have been very disappointed for several reasons. 1. Twice both my husband and I have only gotten 1 of our 2 sauces on our bowls. 2. While it's never been busy and we order online ahead of time, our bowls have come out late or last time they admitted to straight forgetting about them even though no one else was in the restaurant. 3. I always have gotten the tofu bowl due to food allergies (the one in Waco comes with avocado as well for more protein than this one offers) but they have straight ruined the tofu. It looks like they fry it, cut off the fried part and serve the fried skin as an extra topping that you can request separately, and then you're left with tofu that has an absolutely terrible texture to eat in a bowl, similar to silken tofu. Because this was our absolute favorite restaurant in Waco we tried giving this place a fair shake, but find the bowls pricey and subpar. There's a poke place right next to this JPetal that we plan to try instead next time. We don't plan to return here after 3 very disappointing visits. read more

J-Petal is a great place to get dinner and dessert! If you are craving something fresh and light... let's just say it's the opposite of how you feel after a big BBQ dinner or one too many trips to the buffet bar... you know who you are! The Poke bowl was fresh and light and the sauce to everything Japanese you love in a bowl is an absolutely delight! The Thai rolled Ice cream is a treat that is fun to watch as they smear and make the rolls in front of you and your kids. It's like a show and a dessert! Our favorite dessert is the crepe with the mixed fruit (the chocolate and custard is amazing!) They also have a lot of different savory options. I personally enjoyed the oriental crepe (egg). It's a bit more substantive for those a bit hungry and want something more than a savory crepe! The drinks are great! My favorite by far is the lemon yokurt! It's basically Korean yogurt as a drink with some lemon squeezed into it! It is one of the most refreshing drinks you can get! read more

My new favorite restaurant in Harrisonburg!!! The food here is just incredible! It's super fresh and amazingly tasty. My husband got Teriyaki Crepe and I got the egg crepe. The kids made their own bowls. I cannot stress how fresh their ingredients are. My crepe had spinach, egg, cheddar, avocado, lettuce, and this wonderful flavorful sauce. My husband loved his too. This kids loved their bowls. A family for six absolutely loving a restaurant almost never happens. This place just rocks!!! We had their rolled ice cream for dessert. It's fantastic. They make it in front of you. It is the best ice cream you will ever have. The strawberry is fantastic. The turtle is my favorite. My daughter loves the Cookie Monster. My son loves their chocolate milkshake. read more

If it's just OK, it's K-Petal. If they're training new employees, they should wear L-Petal signs. And if you empathize with people that have never tried things this delicious, then you M-Petalthize with them. What to get: Crepe What not to get: Crap from your friends about going here without them If you're cycling to get here, then petal faster, because you don't want to miss out on these spectacular desserts and yummy drinks. J-Petal was an absolute delight, close to the campus of James Madison University - and the best part is that I really didn't expect it to be. I don't generally like Asian Crepes (I'm spoiled by street crepes in Paris), and I was expecting the products to be mediocre or decent at best. They were actually spectacularly delicious and amazing. If En Vogue go here, it's N-Petal. If you get sexually excited while here, it's O-Petal. And if you need the bathroom urgently, it's P-Petal. I figured out why it's so good. It's from New York City. The original location is in Brooklyn, and so it has to have a high standard. This is the only other location in existence. How did you get so lucky Harrisonburg Virginia? If you find some cool gadgets in here, they're from Q-Petal. And if someone tells you that you aren't petal, believe me, you R-Petal. And according to Mexicans, the best dessert place in Harrisonburg "Es Petal." The drinks are really good as well - but the real strength lies in the wild and imaginative, fruity, delicious crepes and desserts. I will definitely be visiting here every single time I come back to Harrisonburg. And if you want a fancy new name for Tea Leaves, how about T-Petal? And if you're sick of me petal, how about U-Petal? And if you lost your V-Card in unfortunate circumstances, come and replenish it at V-Petal! It's in the same plaza as the excellent international Bubble Tea chain Kung Fu Tea - so if you want an excellent bubble tea, head to KFT (where you should try the Lemon Black Tea with tapioca), and then come and spoil yourself with some excellent Asian desserts from J-Petal. And if you're a Republican, skip it and go to W-Petal. And watch out for my crazy X-Petal. This plaza is definitely the destination when in Harrisonburg. Service is absolutely wonderful as well. Now I've given you enough reasons Y-Petal. So don't ZZZZZZ-Petal on J-Petal. read more

I was in Harrisonburg for work and I ordered a burrito to go for my drive home. Every other sushi-burrito I've ever had at other places used a sheet of nori for the wrap, but here it's wrapped in a flour tortilla, which is a bit weird. My burrito had too much rice and minimal fish--I got a spicy tuna and salmon. The topping selection was good, and I added seaweed salad, edamame, and carrots. They were out of ponzu sauce, which was disappointing since they had just opened 20 minutes before I arrived. I started eating the burrito as I was pulling out of the parking lot. The salmon was room temperature, which made me worry about food safety. I paid just under $17 including tip, which is a fair enough price, though they were stingy with the small amount of fish that was in the burrito. It tasted good overall, but I don't think I'll be going back even though I'm in Harrisonburg frequently for work. Service was very slow even though I was the only customer. read more

Would give this place zero stars if i could, i got the poke bowl and it took forever, the guy preparing it went to the back for what seemed forever to just grab utensils even though it was in the middle of the day. The employee didn't use different utensils to grab the different fish and cross contaminated every ingredient. Didn't even grab a new utensil for the vegetable toppings from the fish! No wiping off the utensil to serve it or anything, I was astounded! I was worried about getting food poisoning the whole time eating the meal. But for $15 im going to be eating it! I was debating calling the health inspector to examine their food practices, and will be definitely never coming back. The tuna was inedible because they didn't cut out the tough parts so I ended up taking out all of the tuna. 0/10, would never recommend to anyone. read more

Such a cute little restaurant! They serve rolled ice cream, crepes, and drinks in a light bulb glass. The crepes and ice cream have a wide variety of choices. The menu was a little bit confusing, but the staff was very helpful and made recommendation for me! I got the Green Hulk, which is green tea rolled ice cream made with oreo and banana, and topped with fresh strawberries, raspberries, shredded coconut, and nutella. The ice cream is like a green tea matcha flavor, very earthy and refreshing. The toppings sweetened it up for my personal liking. The person with me got the cookies and cream, vanilla with oreo. The place was clean and had lots of seating. Good for large parties or just a few friends. I would love to return and try the crepes! read more

The environment in this place is super calming and pleasing to the eyes. The staff here are very attentive and friendly as well, super informative about each item on the menu if you have any questions. I stopped here on the way back from Blacksburg, since I heard about it from some friends at JMU. The drinks here are really nice, and you can get them in lightbulbs as well, which is super pretty! I believe I got the sparkling drink with strawberry and cucumber in it, along with the strawberry slush one.. I forgot. They were super good though! read more

Yummmmm!!!! We are a family of 8 so we tried almost everything on the menu. Amazingly delicious!!! Beef Crepe was our favorite!! The chicken teriyaki was also delicious. My son loved the J petal special crepe. The savory crepes are even better than the dessert crepes. The Lychee drink in the light bulb was refreshing and delicious. The mango colada was also. We ordered 2 drinks and went back to order another two. The ice cream and dessert crepes were delicious as well. We must return!! read more

Best place in Harrisonburg. They serve a variety of food items such as savory and sweet crepes, Poke, rolled ice cream, and even hot pot (it's lowkey, just ask for it). I mostly come here for the drinks, specifically, the Yakult drink, however. Yakult is a liquid probiotic yogurt that they use to make the best beverage ever. Sounds kinda weird, but trust me. There are different flavors for the Yakult drink, such as strawberry and passionfruit, but my favorite drink of all time is the lemon Yakult. I can't even describe how yummy and refreshing it is. Everyone I've introduced this drink to has loved it, so check it out! Another go-to drink of mine is the strawberry fruit tea. I've been here so many times that the nice owner recognizes me and guesses on whether I'll order the lemon or strawberry drink lol. Other notable drinks include the Thai tea and the milkshakes. Harrisonburg is lucky to have J-Petal! read more

Came in early right as they opened since I had to rush and get into work. Aleksi was so helpful in recommending what toppings would taste best with which proteins and sauces, making it an overall very enjoyable experience.

Ordered from here because I was craving something sweet:) I got the taro slush, matcha valentine crepe, and Thai tea rolled ice cream. The taro slush was very sweet but super refreshing especially with the lychee. The crepe was also delicious and had strawberry, banana, apple, and caramel which paired perfectly with the green tea ice cream. The Thai tea rolled ice cream was also super yummy and different, it wasn't too sweet but the toppings complimented the ice cream perfectly. Overall I really enjoyed this place as the prices were cheap and the service was quick. Would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a sweet treat! read more

Found this place by accident as I was getting my after-dinner usual dessert: bubble tea. There were a lot of things that impressed me about this place. First is that they were very patient with us as we took a good 5 minutes at the counter to decide what to get, because all the descriptions sounded so yummy! They walked us through a bunch of recommendations and didn't try to rush us. From talking to them, seems like they are a mom and pop business and I love to support small businesses. Speaking of "small", they are not a small place, and has a bunch of sitting space. I like that, so you can sit and take your time and not feel rushed to get out after you've finished your dessert. And it's also a good place to take big groups! I think the people making the ice cream are a little new? The presentation of the mixing of the ice cream looked like a little struggle, lol, but this place is still new so they're probably still getting used to it. Either way, the ice cream tasted good. My green tea ice cream had a strawberry and Oreo minced into tiny pieces and mixed in evenly. The crepe could have been crispier...was a little bit soggy, so that could be worked on a little. However, they included a lot of fresh fruit and had the option of adding ice cream to the crepe, so overall I left a happy girl! read more

Completely the worst. Ordered sushi burrito came in burrito wrap instead of seaweed wrap which was not disclosed. It was super soggy had to eat it as.m a bowl.
