We decided to eat at Tan Tan Wok, but I guess Jia Kitchen is attached! No problem at all, the food was great! The Banh Bot Chien was my favorite and we also had the crispy noodles and fried rice. The place was really busy and I can understand why! Definitely come out when you have a craving for Asian food! read more

The behavior of the manager need to improved. This was the worse experienced I've ever had at Jia Kitchen. We ordered the Clams w/ Black Bean Sauce- Nghêu xào tàu xì. The clams were like not cook and done at all. It seems not right, good and fresh. and not hot at all. And the waitress talked to the manager and he said it was only 3 clams left on our plate and rejected to come out to talk to us. That is so DISRESPECTFUL I've ever had in my life to eat out. We're not that hungry to ask for another one or too poor to ask for the refund but at least show the respect, please. At least an apologied. We're not gonna come back ever again!!! Bye Felicia! I've never give 1 star to any restaurant but except this time. read more

we were shopping at H Mart and got hungry so we decided to walk around and see what we liked. When we got to Jia Kitchen the food looked good and the place was packed; both good signs we started off with the roti and curry - the curry was good but the roti was too oily. we then got the veggie soup with thick noodles - the portion was huge and it had lots of veggies and lots of flavor. i went with friends and they got more dishes including dumplings and beef dishes. portion size was good and flavor was great overall good food with big portion size and big flavor read more

Be sure to check that your food is fully cooked. I ordered the mực rang muối (salt-toasted squid), but the batter was still raw. When I mentioned it to a server, she asked, "Do you want it medium or well done?"...which was confusing, since this isn't a steakhouse, and squid should be cooked through. A family member also mentioned that on a previous visit, their fish was undercooked as well. Just a word of caution. read more

Jia Kitchen and neighboring Tan Tan Wok are really all one and the same restaurant. Slightly different ambience, but they share the same menu and staff. I've been here more than a few times, and almost always start with a Thai Tea. Which is served in a frothy, icy carafe. My usual entrée is the Salt and Pepper Squid, and I recently tried the Crispy Beef with Tangerine. It was well worth the wait for that dish. The lightly breaded beef was very tender and served in a sweet tangerine-ginger sauce with just a hint of heat. If you choose fried rice, in lieu of, the usual steam rice, you'll be pleased with an actual handmade fried rice, and not something out of the Sysco Asian food catalog. Every time I've dined here I've always seen tables full of families, sharing dishes. It seems to be a favorite spot for many locals. read more

Stopped by recently on a weekday around 4pm for a super late lunch, so the restaurant was pretty much empty at the time. We were quickly seated and got our foods ordered pretty quickly as well, and they did not take long to come out either. It seemed like the prices went up by a lot from the last time we were here, but that was fine. We ordered the roti and curry starter, crispy seafood flat rice noodles, Kinh Do spare ribs, and bbq pork and chinese sausage fried rice. My favorite was probably the the roti and curry starter which was super good. The curry was flavorful, and the roti was fluffy and light. The Kinh Do spare ribs were not bad. The fried rice tasted like typical Chinese restaurant fried rice and a bit bland, so it was not that special. The most disappointing part of the meal was probably the seafood flat rice noodle. The flavors were good, but the seafoods were pretty nonexistent (only a few pieces). It was close to $20, so we had expected it to have at least a bit more seafoods in it. Overall, it was only okay, especially for the price. I don't mind paying a lot for good foods, but I don't think it was very worth it here. There are lots of restaurants here in Katy Asian Town, so there are better options to choose from. I wouldn't go out of our way to come back here unless I really couldn't decide on another place in this area. read more

Pretty decent Asian cuisine. I had the Squid Ink Fried Rice with Fresh Coconut Water. I like the squid bits they added to the fried rice. It adds a subtle sweetness to the whole dish, but I had to touch up the rice with more salt/soy sauce than I wanted to add. The rice itself was plain and unseasoned, and even the squid ink didn't add enough flavor to save the dish. But I loved the coconut water (served in an actual young coconut). The water was fresh and sweet, a perfect drink for a hot summer day. read more

The pork spring rolls are amazing. The serving sizes are HUGE. Service was so great. I could eat here everyday it's so fresh!!

We used to really like this place. My husband and daughter love their egg fried rice, even though it's overpriced at $16, especially considering it doesn't come with a meal. We would still order it on top of another entrée that already came with white rice. That says a lot. Even after moving from Katy to Richmond, we kept coming back here, but today was our last visit. The service has consistently gone downhill and I'm fed up. This was the fourth time we had to flag someone down just to place our drink order or ask for anything at all. They're never attentive and don't check in throughout the meal. What really did it for us today was when they came straight to our table to ask for the Sriracha, while leaving it on every other table around us. Then suddenly they were quick to drop the bill without asking if we needed anything else. I didn't leave a tip this time and only then did someone come back to ask what was wrong, but it was clear they didn't really care about our feedback. Last time we came, our server wouldn't even make eye contact with us. I don't know what's going on with the staff here but they've officially lost our business. We typically spent at least $50 each visit and always tipped 20 to 25 percent. Not anymore. read more

Came here on a Tuesday evening, a hour before closing time. Right after we got seated we noticed how crowded it got. Staff was helpful and humble (even though they closing time was near). Our waitress was great and very attentive. We order - banh bot chien - house special rice cake Hu tieu xao ap chao - crispy flat noodles with Chinese broccoli and beef Nui xao bo luc lac - shaken beef with macaroni Ambiance - I was telling my husband it reminds me of Tan Tan and sure enough he looked the restaurant up and it is own by the same owners. Great place food quick Chinese food. read more

First time here. We went with a friend who is a local and she said this place was good. I really like the art and the zodiac signs on the wall. The server was also nice and gave recommendations. He did recommend the sweet and sour pork and I LOVE sweet and sour pork, so I went forward with the order. It comes with the big bowl of rice. When I tried the pork, it was not great. There is too much breading compared the pork causing it to be more crispy rather than chewy. It is also too sweet. I also tried my friend's walnut shrimp and that tastes good except the skin on the shrimp is still on the inside? I'm not sure if that is typical but I did not enjoy the texture of the shrimp skin. As for the portions, they are big so you should share the food instead of ordering each dish for yourself. We had to take to-go boxes. Rice is cooked well and servers are quick, but I did not enjoy the food. read more

Stumbled upon this place from a wonderful recommendation from my girlfriend, and this place was great! Service was good, very quick and efficient during a packed/busy house in a timely manner. Our food came out pretty quickly within 5-8 minutes and we were pretty pleased with the timing of it! I ordered the Pan Fried Noodle with Beef and Chinese Broccoli with gravy and my girlfriend ordered Tossed Stir Fried Noodles with Seafood Combo with no gravy. Portion size was great and more than what I expected! We were able to share them family-style! If you bring your people in your party, you can definitely do family-style at this place! read more

First time at this restaurant, and it was delicious. Service was excellent. I was there for lunch with friends. The food was delicious and the portions are definitely shareable. You can order more then one plate and share all the variety that's available on the menu. read more

A must go to spot in Katy Asian town! We were looking for a place that has noodle soup since our favorite spot phanh ky was closed and we got lucky because they had exactly what we were craving for. My hubby and I got the shrimp and pork wonton noodle soup and the shrimp noodle soup. Omg did it hit the spot! The soup was so flavorful that it didn't need any condiments or sauces. I had a little chili oil on the side but really didn't need it. The kids also had their own soups and the orange chicken. All very tasty. I believe Jia Kitchen and Tan Tan Wok are now one restaurant so I'm giving 5 stars to both. Service is excellent, ambience is amazing and the food is top tier. read more

KATY , TX / PAN-ASIAN / 07-14-22 / TAKEOUT DINNER +The Trio Grill Broken Rice (10.95) entree is pretty good. It comes with grilled chicken, grilled pork, an egg cake, a side salad w/pickled vegetables, broken rice, and fermented fish sauce. +The green chillies in vinegar are fire. +The Shrimp Fried Rice (13.95) was good, not too greasy; the shrimp were small though. -The Shrimp Pork Soft Rolls (7.95 for 3) had a piece of hair in it, as if the chef or food prep person just got a fresh haircut. -The peanut sauce was a bit on the sweet side. Overall, I would return to try some other dishes. Go check them out and give them some Yelp love! read more

Decide to check Jia's out because of the pictures I saw of the food and it seemed like it was worth it. It seems like it's a branch of Tan Tan. The dishes seem a tad bit more modernized compared to tan tan, at least the way they plate it. I ordered the chicken with sticky rice and it was pretty good. It took a little longer to come out compare to the other dishes my family ordered so I assume the rice and chicken are cooked to order? The sticky rice was really good and the chicken was your average roasted chicken. The bánh bôt chiên ( fried egg with rice flour) was good I just wish it was a little more crispier. The waitress was really nice and attentive to us. Refilled our drinks without asking which I think is always a plus. I would prob come back, once in a while. read more

I have to say, a must try restaurant if you're in Katy Chinatown. Their staff is super attentive! Food arrives out in a timely manner. Everything is cooked with the right amount of seasonings.

I came here because a friend suggested this place and the one thing that make me shocked is the plates are HUGE like four plates has a enough food to feed a family of five and white rice is included plus the service was nice and fast,so if you're looking for a family style restaurant in a short amount of time this is the place to go. read more

Pretty busy and loud on a Sunday afternoon around lunch, but we were seated immediately. However, the service was very slow. We waited several minutes to order our food and did not see the waitress again until she finally gave us the check. Outside from the service and noise, everything else (the food) was great. I really enjoyed the roti and curry. Another plus was the free guest wifi. read more

I've been dying to try this place for a while now, and I'm so glad I finally did. This place is know for their rice soups so we got the seafood rice soup. The taste was very different but I enjoyed it (added sriracha to make it Spicier). We also got the shrimp noodles and sesame chicken (comes with white rice and broccoli). I wasn't huge fan of the noodles itself, however I liked how the shrimp, onions, and peppers were seasoned. The sesame chicken was delicious and it was enough to feed 3 people. The service was great, our server was very attentive and gave us recommendations on what type of rice soup we should get. I've tried many restaurants in Katy's Asian town and I definitely think this one of the best ones so far. Overall I would give this place a 4.5/5 and I would recommend this place. read more

Had a carry out order for dinner. We got the roasted chicken with fried rice ( com chien ga roti), grilled chicken over rice (com tam ga nuong), fried rice cake (banh bot chien), roti with curry, cheese puffs, and combinated rice plate ( con tam 3 mon). It was all great! Nicely portioned and good flavor. I especially liked the curry and the roti flat bread! The bread was really buttery and flaky! The roasted chicken was also good! I reheated it in my air fryer to get it back to its crispy glory. Air fried the rice cake back up too and it was yummy. My only qualms were the cheese puffs , not too great and that the roasted chicken is only half the quail :(. Pho ga dakao in bellaire gives you the whole bird. Nevertheless I still devoured it. The sauce that comes on the side is great for it. A slightly sweet sauce that's great on the rice too! Definitely will come back. read more

Every time we go to Katy Asian Town we decide to try a new restaurant, Jia Kitchen happened to be on the list after searching for a place that served bahn bot chien (rice cake). The restaurant was fairly busy, shares a space with the other Tan Tan restaurant, only connected via glass door. I believe you can order off both menus (Chinese and Vietnamese flavors). We ordered the Rice cake, Grilled Pork with Broken Rice and Grilled Pork bowl with vermicelli. The rice cake was good, probably the best of the 3 plates we had. The 2 pork plates were just OK, nothing bone shattering to report. Not sure if I'll be back with the amount of Asian food in the same complex. On to the next! read more

If you've read my previous review about Tan Tan Wok, than you'll know what to expect out of Jia Kitchen. I had no idea they are owned by the same company and essentially have the same menu.

Anything that is salt toasted you can't go wrong - you have many options of squid, ribs, shrimp, and etc. read more

Back in the day when you walk into a decent Asian restaurant you'll get the quintessential red lanterns, dragons on the wall and the zodiac paper place mats. Cleanliness and service etiquette isn't really there but you know if it has 'that look' then the food is probably pretty good. Jia is not that, it is example of how far we have gone. The place is spotless, service was top notch, did I mention it was SUPER clean? Ok food, I also love that Jia takes old recipes and makes them right. Its just your basic dishes that you can get literally across the street. But Jia made them with high quality ingredients. We had bot chien, a Vietnamese street food, it was nice and crispy, the itty bitty bacon bits was just *chefs kiss*. The best bot chien I've had in a long time. Duck noodle soup, again just good ingredients, the duck wasn't sitting there from a few days ago, the meat fell off the one, it was just good. Shrimp curry had actual large shrimps. The vegetables were nice and fresh. I would 100% come back here. read more

Great spot in Katy Asian Town! It's related to Tan Tan, so you'll find a lot of the classic Tan Tan dishes here, like banh bot chien (egg and rice cake), bo luc lac (shaking beef), mi vit (duck noodle soup), among others. I got a banh bot chien to-go and they promptly prepared it in less than 10 minutes. They placed it in a personal pizza box so that you don't have to worry about fragile contents breaking up. It was delicious...the rice cakes were crispy and the egg was cooked perfectly (I find that some places undercook the egg to the point it's still runny). The green onions and radish bits to top it off were the perfect touch. This reminded me of my childhood days going to Tan Tan with the fam and getting banh bot chien as an appetizer before a feast. Give them a try if you're in Katy Asian Town! It's a good stop for restaurant hopping if you want to get appetizers here and try other dishes at nearby restaurants. read more

Now this is what I'm talking about!!!! From the owner of Tan Tan on Belliare in Chinatown, we now have JIA kitchen and Tan Tan Wok in Katy Asian Town!!! I love, love, love their chef! She made the banh lot (rice flour omelette cake) a crafted perfect fare! In all the years I have eaten this dish, I've always asked them to make the rice flour cakes crispy. Today I forgot to ask and miraculously the dish came out as I wanted!!!! So yummy, I couldn't stop eating it!!! You can't imagine my happiness upon hearing my waitress Chi Thanh, say they hollow stemmed vegetables on the menu! Once again the chef delivered! Usually it comes with too much sauce. The green vegetables came in perfect harmony with garlic and jalapeños...no excess sauce!!! My waitress brought me the sweetened green peppers. I love that I don't have to ask for anything here! Thank you Chi Thanh for your superb table-side service!!! Waitstaff here is in point!!! read more

Huge portions, you'll do well to split unless you, like my wife, relish to-go containers. We'll be back, good food and service.

Place is roomy, we were seated quickly. The service was okay, waiter was not that attentive and we seemed a little rushed. Their menu has lots of options. I ordered the rice cake and chicken springs rolls. The spring rolls were on point and probably the best I've had in awhile. They were meaty and delicious. Wasn't a fan of the rice cake, it was very mushy and not what I've experienced before. I would still come back for those spring rolls and to try other foods. Def recommend trying. read more
