Janbo Café - Fried Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Everett, Washington

My favourite place of all time for bahn mi! Period! You can't convince me otherwise. Anywho, I know I'm gushing about this place but go try it for yourself. I have tried all sandwiches here but my go to is the COMBO sandwich that has all three meats (beef, pork, chicken). It's a hefty samich so your tummy better be empty for such a challenge. One of the new things I've seen is that they now have a "Sandwich Subscription/Membership" thingy. It's $99 a month for 1 samich everyday (whichever you want) which if you don't cook or eat out everyday it's a really good deal when you think about it. Their other food is good too, we've had appetizers, soups, and it's all good. Overall it's a solid 8 out of 10. But again, go and try it for yourself and you be the judge, this is my go to place.

My first trip to Janbo was a success. I'm normally by myself eating lunch on my days off. So the bar seating was a nice option. I had the Chicken Chow Mein. Not quite up to the Seattle restaurants, but solid with more ramen-style noodles rather than udon. Great service, funny they still have a drive thru. I wonder what the building was in the 80's. I'll be back! read more

Honestly 5 stars is not enough. I'd give them 10/10 if I could. After 8 years of living within walking distance to Janbo we finally decided to check it out and honestly I'm kicking myself for not going sooner. What we ordered; Singing Chicken, Mapo Tofu, Crispy Chow Mein with seafood, and a taro milk tea (with boba!). Honestly everything was so good and texture was on point. It was so good that I forgot to take a picture. We ordered 2 combos. The pricing was competitive but the portions are much larger than expected. The 3 of us ate so much and still walked out with 4 boxes. The hot tea was free. There was one lady working front of the house and she was very friendly and accommodating. The outside may not seem like much, but inside was really nice and comfortable. The lighting and music were perfect. 10/10 will be back to try some more options of their large menu (the bahn mi looked fantastic and I will be trying next time). read more

I've been going to Janbo Café since I was a child and I still go as an adult which should show how amazing it is. The service is usually pretty good if not decent the food though is always a 10 out of 10 especially their general Cho's chicken read more

Very tasty food, however the wait times for dine in and takeout can be pretty long if they're busy. That said, if you're ok waiting a bit...their food won't disappoint! read more

I didn't expect much from this restaurant at first. The place is cozy, I think it can seat around 20-25 people. You can seat anywhere you want, then the wait staff will bring you the menu, or you can scan a QR on your table to place your order and browse the menu too. Such a bummer that I didn't get to take pictures, I'll put them up next time I go there. Me and my husband ordered the House Special Fried Rice, which is packed with meat already, it has pork, beef, and shrimp! It was very tasty too! I think it can be shared by 2-3 people. Next we also had the Grilled Combo Rice Plate, this one has grilled pork, chicken and beef topped on rice, it also has a salad on the side. We also had the BBQ Pork, it's good but a little dry as per my husband, pairing it with Hoisin sauce made it better. And lastly we had the Crispy Egg Noodles to-go, I am not a fan of noodles but this one is sooo good! The flavor and the texture of the dish complements each other! I will definitely go back here. Must try restaurant! read more

Food service and ambiance was wonderful! Been coming here for years. Mandarin fried chicken is my favorite. Thai ice tea! read more

Truly delicious orange chicken made with real orange peels, freshly fried chicken wings (order ahead if on a time crunch), and excellent service! They really try to make you feel at home here. Love the varied menu as well. read more

They're short staffed, but they make sure they go as fast as possible while still remaining friendly and having delicious food!

We have been coming to this place since 2010. I love it! quality food, good prices and excellent service. I do miss the cream puffs but as a trade off, I have fallen in love with the salt chili chicken wing appetizer. read more

I ordered take out from here. The service was pretty quick, however the food was sub par at best. I ordered a grilled chicken vermicelli bowl that said they would text me when the order was ready, however I waited for 15 minutes with no text. I went inside and the food was sitting right on the counter. The interior of the place is small with minimal indoor seating. Upon entry, they have a large menu displayed with the counter where you order. Parking: Free, parking lot read more

Service is good and friendly but we ordered the seafood chow mein and it had way too much vegetables. Like giant ones taking up all the space. It was flavored kind of bland and barley any seafood in it. I'm sure there's better but I don't recommend the chow mein. read more

The small portion is enough if you are not really hungry. Food is good but too oily imho. read more

Nice and simple local Pho restaurant. My go to place for a banh mi sandwich and pho. Service is polite and friendly. The ambiance leaves a bit to be desired. They have a drive up window for take out that is convenient. read more

I have been a customer of this establishment for more than 10 years, and I visit it very often; although it has had many changes over time, its quality, flavor and dedication have never left me unsatisfied. I congratulate you on your excellent work!! read more

Great Banh Mi Sandwiches! We make this a regular stop whenever we're in the area. It's not in the best area but the neighborhood is improving. We did witness a shootout across the street and needed to shelter in the kitchen until the police with their assault rifles showed up. I still give them 5 stars for staff and food. Gotta love Everett! read more

Overall, I think this is a pretty decent Vietnamese place to eat at for lunch. Came here with a coworker and dang....this place gets packed pretty quickly during lunch time. With an extensive menu consisting of familiar Chinese / Vietnamese dishes (think pho, banh mi, sweet & sour chicken, mongolian beef and etc), there is something for everyone. Prices are fairly reasonable, with most basic items under $10 and the specialties being $10+. For food, we ordered the: Viet fried egg rolls, chicken curry, and the dry noodle combo. For the egg rolls, it's a lil pricey but I was delighted to see how packed it was with meat and other things. As for the curry, didn't get to try it but my coworker mentioned how it was pretty bland. For my dish, ordered the dry noodle bowl that came with a side of broth and it was decent. Not super memorable but it definitely hit the spot in regards to my hungry tummy. Finally, the main highlight of the meal was: FREE HUGE CREAM PUFFS! Yasss, the cream puffs are huge as a tea cup and you get the option to pick either a vanilla or chocolate filling. :) Woot woot. (Keep in mind that this is served at the end of your meal) In summary, if you're looking for a quick spot to eat that has free dessert, swing by here. read more

Great food! Best Hot & Sour soup ever! Always hot and fresh food. I definitely recommend this place to everyone who want good Chinese food. read more

Between the twangy/sad country music and the extremely loud blenders, this place is awful to the core. Drive me insane having to listen to this and left with my ears ringing. read more

First time here, from the street it doesn't look like much. Small building, not very fancy. Inside dining area is small with a few tables. As soon as we came in though we were greeted and shown to a seat. Immediately after sitting we had a pot of hot tea and glasses of water. Had the spicy Vietnamese soup, chicken curry with rice, and fresh spring rolls. All were very delicious and portions were huge! Free puff pastry for dessert too! Family owned and operated, delicious food, friendly atmosphere! A true diamond in the rough... If you are nearby stop in and give them a try. They have an impressive menu that I plan to come back and go through! read more

I always find myself comparing their pho to other places! Janbo Cafe has the best pho in town! I highly recommend this restaurant!

Ok I love this place! Their Banh mi are really yummy. Like order 3 in row yummy. Their soups are in the smaller side of pho but still good. Their shrimp and veggies had the most delightful sauce with garlic. They used to give out free cream puffs but the last 2x I had to buy them. Regardless the love this spots so much more to try!! read more

Nothing hits the spot like Pho when you're not feeling good. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment. While dining here, one will witness a constant flow of patrons coming in to pick-up their to-go orders. Because of this, it is easy to go unseen by the staff when one wishes to dine onsite. A slight wave of your hand will capture a staff members attention. Complimentary hot tea is provided while viewing the menu. I started out with Vietnamese Fried Egg Rolls (qty 2) for $4.50. The ground pork filling was flavorful and the egg roll was perfectly crisp. I also ordered a small bowl of Vegetarian Pho for $7. The Pho was loaded with fried tofu, broccoli, carrots, bok choy, cabbage and onions. The garnishments were fresh and plentiful (bean sprouts, basil, jalapenos and lime wedges). A perfect bowl of comfort while feeling under the weather. Wait service is minimal. Order taken. Order delivered. Tab delivered. The interaction that was done was friendly. Thank you Janbo for assisting in my desire to fell better. read more

We ordered wonton soup . Yes it had the traditional wontons and pork slices, that was the only thing that resembled what Wanton soup looks like . A beef broth was used no wonton flavor - bland taste . Will not be returning. read more

About 15 years ago, before I knew what Pho or Banh Mi sandwiches were, this simple café opened. The first time I tasted Pho I wasn't sure if I loved it or I hated it, so I gave it another chance, it was sooo different! But after another chance I knew this was going to be a long, hot, never ending relationship! After ordering Pho 15 million times in a row... no exaggeration, I had the bright idea of trying something else, so I tried a chicken Banh Mi, jalapenos included! That was instant delight. Forward 2 years and my job moved and I stopped going to Everett and so then only memories of Janbo remained. Still though, I found myself comparing all Banh Mi and Pho from every restaurant to Janbo, they were that good. Forward again to this last week when I found myself in Everett taking a class. My first thought for lunch was, JANBO! Janbo still has it going on! I had... both a Banh Mi and Pho.... I couldn't resist, and I must say, they are still as delicious as they were when this little restaurant opened. read more

First of all, a big thank you to previous Yelpers who had me select this as today's lunch destination - great selection of Chinese and Vietnamese favorites at Janbo Café. The Shoreline trio met up with family members driving down from Stanwood. Nice find on Evergreen Way (diagonal from Value Village) in Everett. The entire time we were there, all tables were filled and there was constant traffic for takeout and catering orders. The two wait staff covered the dining room with friendly efficiency. I also greatly appreciated the generous carafes of hot tea provided along with ice water. Note: prices listed were from the online menu. Two family members had the huge Combo Bowls ($8.25 each) served with grilled meat, fresh veggies, fried egg rolls, atop vermicelli noodles, and topped with sliced scallions, cilantro, and roasted peanuts. Another had the Orange Chicken Combo ($7.95, plus $1.50 upgrade to combo with added cup of soup (egg flower or hot and sour), veggie egg roll, and steamed rice. Another ended up finishing off the hot and sour soup and enjoyed the Pork Chow Mein with thin egg noodles and veggies ($8.25) I had the Pork Chop Rice Plate ($8.25) where the pair of thin cut, lemongrass marinated pork chops are grilled and placed atop steamed rice garnished with scallions. A generous side of lettuce, pickled carrots, daikon, and sliced cucumbers is also provided. I used up all of the chili infused sweet tart accompanying sauce. It was delicious that kiddo ended up eating a decent portion of the pork chops. It was comparable to my favorite version at Local Pho in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood. And...what a big surprise to be given a huge complimentary cream puff filled with either vanilla or chocolate custard filling to end our meal. The cream puff (pate a choux) was crisp, light and not soggy - excellent! Compared to the dinky ones at Than Brothers Seattle locations, these were ginormous! Excellent and worthwhile find in Everett. Again, thanks to previous Yelpers and their helpful posts! read more
