30 min in line in NOC , we don't have the appetizers. Upper right corner small letters was written out .
Our office complex invited us out to this food truck one Friday afternoon. Initially I was going to pass on it but when a coworker who already went said that they had some specials like Bourbon Chicken, I thought hard about it and changed my mind. I hadn't had that in years and I was curious to see what their version would taste like. When I got to the truck they weren't busy at all. I walked up to the truck and ordered. To my surprise, I had the food in my hands in less than 5 minutes while I was dancing to their music being played in the truck. Service was on point. It came with a lot of jasmine rice, broccoli, carrots, and onions. While the food was delicious I personally felt that the chicken to veggie ratio was off some. I had more forkfuls of veggies over the chicken. I still ate it all because I was hungry. I'd check them out if they're in my hood again.
I hate to leave a review like this on a food truck since I love them but our food wasn't very good. Maybe they were having an off night. Who knows? When we looked at the menu it looked right up our alley so we ordered a few things. We ordered the Chicken Pad Thai, Beef Drunken Noodles, and the Yellow Curry with Chicken. Chicken Pad Thai: I was one of the odds Pad Thais I had ever had. The favor was unlike any I had had. It was very oddly sweet. I was also so wet (look at the pictures). I'm never someone who dislikes extra saucy but when the sauce it so sweet and there is so much of it it just over powered everything. Also the chicken is dark meat which my wife wasn't a fan of but I don't mind. The positive it was a large serving. Beef Drunken Noodles: Again the sauce on this we pretty sweet and I asked for it to be spicy. They still though was better then the Pad Thai and I didn't main how wet this dish was as much. My biggest issue was the beef. It was so tough. I haven't had beef this tough in a long time. I honestly can't remember the last time. So maybe stay away from the beef unless you're looking to get a jaw work out. Like the Pad Thai it was a large serving size so if you like it you at least will not go hungry. Yellow Curry with Chicken. The curry had less flavor then most. Maybe it had been watered down but IDK. This dish also had a lot more dark meat chicken then the Pad Thai had as this was the dish Ashley was looking forward too most. Beside that wasn't the best Yellow Curry I have had but and would probably have to go in the bottom tier. Again, maybe they were having an off night. If I order from them again I would probably lean toward their Chinese dishes and hope it's better then the Thai ones.
I ordered the pad thai and basil fried rice. The pad thai was bad. Like a lot of bad pad thai, it's extremely oily without any fragrance and has this homogenous color of dark brown muck. They try to plate this by evenly spreading the meager portions of bean sprouts and green onion over the top, but once you start eating it, it's obvious. The noodles are dry. The green onions are cut relatively large, but there's not much of it. I still ate it of course. The small portion of nut and egg also make them not much of a factor. Most of your bites of this will be either just noodle or noodle and the meat. There's no cilantro, pepper, carrot, or anything else that would help. My favorite pad thai in town so far is probably from Thai Orchid on Beach Blvd and Kernan. The basil fried rice fared slightly better, largely due to the obvious inclusion of basil, but also onion, carrots, and broccoli. This is not to say that a dish has to have a ton of veggies to be good, but rather that veggies with a large presence like broccoli are a good counter-weight to the bland oiliness of these entrees. Also, I'd like to note that everything is chopped very large. This is normal for the broccoli and not too uncommon for the oversized carrot slices. But the BBQ pork that I chose are also in giant cubes, which is quite unusual for fried rice. Some of the meat cubes are extremely dry. The egg isn't distributed with any consistency either. Most of the plate has no egg at all, which you can tell just from my pic, then you'll randomly see a big chunk that's like 1/4 of an egg. Oh yeah, I also ordered both dishes at 4 star spiciness. But the basil fried rice wasn't spicy at all. I suppose the pad thai could be considered American 4 stars (maybe Thai 2 1/2 star). But the basil fried rice is like 1 star spicy. Basically a scam. Anyways, talking about this review instead of scovilles now, this is barely 3 stars. If I had only ordered the pad thai, this would be a 2 star review. Regardless, you'll never see me here again.
It took 20 minutes to make the most underwhelming beef and broccoli I've ever had. The broccoli was dry as shit and the meat was greasy as hell. Half of the rice was DRENCHED in sauce and was pretty much mush. And to top it all off all of the sauce ended up outside the box and pooled into the bag leaking everywhere. Overall overpriced as heck and not worth it.
I normally love food trucks and maybe this was just an off night but I wasn't very impressed with Jammas Jax. Nothing I ate was really worth the calories. It was almost like they ran out of flavor for all of their dishes. The pad Thai was bland and oily and the other two dishes were just lacking. I don't have too much to say about this place as I only ate one or two bites of my food before throwing it away. I probably won't be back but if I do and have a better experience I will update my review accordingly.
In my neighborhood we have food truck nights about once a week. This was the first time i decided to give it a try. I LOVE asian food, i'm also pregnant and didn't feel good, definitely not well enough to cook. We ordered chicken teriyaki, the chicken pad thai, and fried rice... once we got home to eat I was instantly let down by the portion sizes.. they were so small I wouldn't even have left overs.. for 3 things we spent 60 dollars.. that's INSANE.. in my opinion it wasn't even edible.. the sauce was great but the chicken alone looked rancid, even my husband who eats EVERYTHING wouldn't eat this. The rice was okay, not much flavor but still didn't eat it because of the chicken and I didn't want to risk anyone in my family getting sick. I ended up taking all the food back to the truck, the employee was very kind.. the owner didn't want to interact with me much.. The interaction was nice, they understood and gave me my money back.. but kept my tip.. which i'm okay with we did just waste food and their time. The only reason i'm giving them a 2 star is because they were kind. they have been getting the same repetitive comments for years and nothing seems to change.. I definitely would not waste my money on this place, and maybe save yourself the food poisioning
Tasty. Quick. Highly recommend. Entire family enjoyed the experience. I will definitely try again.
I visited Jammas Jax for the first time when they were at Hemming Plaza on Halloween for lunchtime. The menu includes curries, noodles and a few other things, but I chose the Drunken Noodles listed as the special, which came with a can drink for $10.99. The chicken was good, the flavor was good, and there was plenty. But, for $11 I can get better at some other places and for $7 I can get equally good at plenty of places. It was good enough, but wouldn't keep me returning at the price without being something I can't easily get other places.
I really really wanted to like this truck. I could happily eat some version of Asian cuisine on the daily...and this truck had all the right moves. Ultimately could not deliver. The person taking orders wasn't personable at all...she never cracked a smile and I'm not even sure she said a word to us while we ordered. Strike one. We ordered one Sweet & Sour Chicken with white rice and one Pad Thai with Chicken. It came really fast. Plus one. First, the rice was...tasteless so we mixed it with the sweet&sour...marginally better. The pad Thai was super dry and the chicken tasted like styrofoam. Strike out.
Really great food truck! Just had my meal. Tasty, large portions and a medley of flavors. We ordered the Drunken Noodles & also Pad Thai; chose chicken as the protein for both. This is on par with the excellent Fusion food truck but I dare say bigger portions for Jammas Jax. We also ordered the Crab Rangoon and Spring Rolls. The Spring Rolls were fine but the Crab Rangoons were excellent; stuffed and flavorful. The very appropriately cooked chicken in the entrees hints of smoky flavor. The service was informed, courteous and quick. I will absolutely be patronizing this food truck again, recommend it without hesitation and look forward to its return!
I first tried the Jammas Jax at the Wine and Trucks event at the Beach. They have the most affordable meals compared to the other food trucks, so we ordered the meal of the day which was Chicken Teriyaki with rice and vegetables. The portion was enough for two and it was cooked perfectly! The chicken was delicious and we only paid $10.99. Second time we saw them was at the Light Up the Food Trucks at the Southside. I ordered their Chicken Green Curry. We took it home to eat because it was raining so hard. So when we got home and about to take pictures (but of course!) of our dinner (the other meal was from another food truck), the curry does not look appetizing at all! We thought, we should've ordered the chicken teriyaki like the last time! But I was greatly mistaken! It was scrumptious and vey tasty! Creamy but not too thick, a little bit sweet and spicy! But, I would've wanted the onions to be sautéed more coz they were a bit raw, and I don't like raw onions! Overall, if you are craving for good Asian dishes and affordable meals then look no further! Just go and find Jammas Jax!
I really enjoyed the Lomein and Pad Thai that was ordered. It was very flavorful and presented well. Everything was hot and fresh. I will definitely be back.

Awesome find at the festival today! Attended the Jax Beach Summer Festival today (August 8) and checked out the incredible lineup of food trucks. Decided to grab lunch from Jax Mammas Asian Street Food, and they completely delivered! I ordered the shrimp tempura, fried chicken rice pineapple bowl, and it was packed with incredible flavor and super fresh ingredients. If you spot this truck rolling around town, definitely pull over and give them a try--you won't be disappointed! read more
So, a few of us were disappointed because they sent us a curry menu ahead of time, but they had a limited menu when they got here. I decided to try anyway and got the Luau plate. I liked the seasoning on the rice, that was probably the best part. The rest of the items were ok. Not bad, but kinda pricey for the amount and quality. Service was petty fast though. Looks like their normal menu has a protein choice for the curries including better vegetarian options. I still think I may try one of their curries if they have it next time, otherwise I might pass. read more

Nothing like the pictures they posted. Soupy and the chicken tastes like it's canned chicken. They sent their menu ahead for everyone but when they showed up they didn't have any of the appetizers and were out of other items as well. Wry disappointed. read more

Spring rolls are ok. Chicken lo mein was bland. Chicken tasted like it had been boiled in chicken stock the day before, no other flavors. Really wanted to like this place. You get a good sized portion of food though. read more

Worst Pad Thai I've ever had and I've eaten a lot of Pad Thai at a lot of different places. This Pad Thai was terrible and the sauce used didn't even taste like Pad Thai sauce . I let my wife try it and she said it was the worst pad Thai she'd ever had in her life . My daughter said the same thing. I'd suggest starting over from scratch and trying a new recipe. This is a simple dish that should normally be impossible to screw up . read more

I was really excited to try this food truck because I'd never seen it before and I love Chinese food. I asked the girl taking orders if what I ordered sounded good to which she suggested adding their crab rangoons. The rangoons were 5.49 but I said ok because I love them. She wasn't friendly and seemed more bothered by my question than anything else. Waited a long time for my food but they had a few orders in front of me so I didn't really think anything of it. Finally got my food and went back to work to eat it. I kid you not, I paid $5.49 for the rangoons pictured below. They weren't even cooked all the way and smelled like shrimp which is concerning since it's supposed to be a crab rangoon. I also order the basil fried rice with chicken. I am not exaggerating when I say it tastes like the worst kind of tap water. I couldn't even eat it and I am far from a picky eater and rarely leave a bad review unless it's just THAT bad. I had to go buy something else just to get the foul taste out of my mouth. Bottom line, I would not recommend this place. Besides the lack of friendly customer service, the food is just awful. I understand they are new and hope that they can get their act together but I won't be back to find out. read more

I was so happy to see Jammas Jax again and at my apt complex! It was sad to see they only stayed one hour, possibly due to a low turnout or weather but my friend and I ordered just in time. I hope Jammas returns back here. Always fresh and delicious! I do have to add the spice level 4F is spicy! I thought I could handle but it's pretty close to Thai hot and woweee! Good for the soul I'm sure:) thanks Jammas, keep it coming please. We love you! read more

Another awesome food truck in Jacksonville. This Asian street fair is undeniably delicious. Try the house lo mein, pad Thai, pineapple fried rice, or the teriyaki chicken and you will not be disappointed. I'm sure his other menu items live up to these great flavors and I can't wait to try more! read more

Finally got the chance to go by where they were for the day, it was kind of hard to find but that's probably just because my GPS took me to the wrong place it comes with so much food and the food is AMAZING. I will try to make a point to find and eat from these guys again because it is the best fried rice I've ever had. read more

Service was bad. Cashier was rude. And the food tastes very generic, Panda Express quality. Except the difference is that this was $12. Got the house lo mein, not worth it. read more

I just had the best crab Rangoon's I think I've ever had. Not your usual fake crab and cream cheese, but real crabmeat with a delicious creamy curry filling. Not what I was expecting but so so good! The Pad Tia I had was also yummy with this name of chicken. The sauce was not spicy but I'm sure if I asked they would have kicked it up. I will be on the lookout for this truck. read more

Ordered the Pad thai with chicken, and just OK. Not much flavor and basically all noodles. I wish there was more freshness to it like some carrot slices. The egg and peanut get lost in all the noodles, and you can't even taste them. Was a bit disappointed as I love pad thai. Friendly and fast service though! read more
