Jokim Kitchen in New Westminster

Very nummy food. Fast service even though there was only one server. He was great. Great value for your money.

Happy hour on a Saturday night

Very delicious! Very good atmosphere! Highly recommend!!! Keep coming here at least once a week :)

5 words. Garlic, butter, fish sauce, wings. Amazing wings and the Jokim plater has everything you need.

Tasty viet food for very reasonable prices, conveniently located across the street from Royal City Mall. They have a nice variety of appies and BBQ that you dont usually see at other Viet places. Would recommend the chicken knee and coconut pancakes.

This restaurant is an excellent choice for travelers, as it provides a luxurious culinary experience at a reasonable price. The menu offers a variety of refined dishes that are without the exorbitant prices that are typically associated with fine cuisine.

The level of service was flawless. The attentive and kind personnel gave us the impression that we were eating with family.

Good food great people

Just. Want. To. Eat. Everything.

The food was nice, however they forgot to give us a glass of water when serving us. Everything was very fancy and clean. But the wings was amazing it had so much sauce to them and it was very crunchy. Overall its pretty good.

We had the lemongrass chicken with rice, fried prawn rolls and salad rolls with peanut dipping sauce, all the food was fresh, hot and beautifully presented. Service was super quick, and the prices were very fair for portion size and quality of the food. The ambiance was nice with a fun neon sign (good photo op if you want) at the front and the restaurant was very clean and tidy. Will definitely be back!

Amazing food and service. This place should have lineups

Weve been here a few times now and everything weve tried has been delicious. Moat recently we tried the Vegetarian Pho and Avocado Salad Rolls. The veggie pho broth was delicious (not too sweet like Pho Ace down the street). It came with broccoli, carrots, fried tofu and all the garnishes. The salad rolls were made fresh and the peanut sauce dip was exceptional. Every time we visit, the staff are always super nice. We plan to go back again and try more of the dishes :) Vegetarian options: Theres a Vegetarian Section in the menu with a bunch of options for appetizers and three different mains (pho, a vermicelli bowl and a curry option).

Food was quite good, but slightly more expensive. Overall a good place for Vietnamese food.

First time here, looking forward to going back! Excellent meal, fresh, authentic, decent size. A real find.

Unexpectedly really good!!

Good pho, good service, nice place

The place is modern and very beautiful. Their vegetarian pho was absolutely the best. It was so delicious! On the other hand, their Korean bbq ribs was really tough and had no flavor. Food

Delicious food, great value. Not the typical Pho restaurant menu.

Food was delicious & very satisfying. The menu has a wide variety of delectable items. We are definitely going there again. Food

Nice hidden place with great food. Super chill place. Friendly staff and even the utensils and plates were very nice.

Place was nice, the food could have used a bit more flavour. Good value overall! I got the hue beef noodle, and for $14.50, its definitely a good deal.

Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere here! Delicious food, great menu options and EXCELLENT prices/value. Will be back! EDIT: I went back. Unfortunately, I need to change my review due to terrible service I received. We ordered the salted egg tofu (still so good) and the chicken ramen. The ramen dish was not what we expected but we re still excited to try it. But the chicken was very gamey and kinda grey. It just didn t taste right and we really lost our appetite. We told the server and she just said oh sorry and walked away. We were hoping to order something else but then she never came back to our table. We then just decided to leave only to learn that our server didn t even tell anyone else and we were still to be charged for the dish. We explained to the lady on cash and she told us that people order this all the time and they ve never had complaints. Which was frustrating as we weren t complaining about the dish itself but just the chicken. She did end up not charging us for it, but it was a very awkward experience. I d like to say I would be back for the salted egg, but I won t due to the way we were treated. EDIT 2: In response to the edit from Jokim. There was no immediate action after we voiced our concern. No one came back to us to ask further questions, follow up with us or provided further information. The server never came back to us yet checked on the three other tables numerous times. Zero effort was made to satisfy us, as you state. Not to mention the other tables in the restaurant ordered soup dishes and the table behind us had not yet received their food by the time we left. Your response is more concerning than the treatment we experienced tonight. I wish you the best in your continuation as a restaurant.

Rude and unprofessional staff that when faced with an issue will resolve through gaslighting or ignoring entirely.

Delicious food with very friendly staff. Will be back.

I also had Bun Bo Hue, and my didnt look or taste like one of the other customers Bun Bo Hue pic. It was over salted, had a weird taste. I couldnt eat it; I had to throw it out. The amount of meat was very minial and it didnt have all the meats that it mentioned in the menu. I didnt have any pigs feet& who knows what else was suppose to be in it that was also missing! I was told I will be given a gift card to get a free meal to make up for it. Lets see if they have anything else good to try!? I spent $40 for 2 people. This is the last chance I will give them.

Great vibe and owner. The food is really good and well-priced. I m Vietnamese and I approve.

We highly recommend trying this Vietnamnese restaurant. We ordered the banh khot (mini coconut pancakes), grilled chicken/pork chop rice, and bun bo hue, and we found the food quality to be great, portions generous, and price competitive. The service was great and the restaurant itself was also clean and nice looking.

I totally recommend this place! Everything inside the restaurant is such a vibe, along with the delicious Vietnamese food. Came here with a few colleagues and we would totally come again! I understand that service was quite a wait because they re new, but the wait was worth it and they were cool enough to give us free appetizer due to that

Walked by this place and saw it was doing a soft opening. Came back later with a couple friends to try it out, it was definitely worth it. We had the Chinese spice chicken wings to start, which were quite tasty. I had the pork chop as my main and it was nice and juicy, very flavorful. We will be coming back again soon!

I had some very tasty food here a couple days ago. They have your classic Vietnamese food but also many other dishes that borrows flavours from other cuisines. I really liked their pancakes, lamb skewers and spring rolls. Definitely worth a visit. Plus they have some really cool signs at the entrance!

I got the grilled pork & shrimp, spring roll vermicelli bowl. I was disappointed by the sauce it came with because it tasted bland. But the grilled pork and shrimp in the bowl was very tasty and moist. I would definitely come back to try more food especially the skewers!

It was definitely worth it to try. They serve very classic Vietnamese dishes but very tasty. We had chicken Pho and Bun Bo Hue. It was amazing along with a vibe inside!!! Will come back to try other dishes.

Foods are decent here. My friend and I were both happy to find this new Vietnamese restaurant in Mew West. I would recommend their chicken wings, salted egg tofu and grilled lemon grass chicken/pork. The meat were very flavourful. I will definitely come back for a Saigon BBQ platter and their skewers.

The food is amazing! We tried a bit of everything. My favourite dish was the Betel Beef. The fried chicken knees and mini coconut pancakes are also very delicious! Also, the Mango prawn salad is so fresh. Yum!!! Parking: Lots of Parking available

Great atmosphere, and food at a good price! We will definitely be back for the betel beef, but be sure to try the mini coconut pancakes and house pho with 18 hour bone broth!

The food was amazing and the new server name Karen is so nice and professional, you should bring your friend to come here and meet her.

A lovely experience! The food was amazing, friendly service, and a really nice dine-in experience. Quiet, especially given location. Will go back again!

Really great food that exceeded my expectations. The Hue Style noddle & spring rolls was very good and shaking beef & fries was amazing. The service was good. I was happy to discover that theres a very good Vietnamese option in the area. I will definitely be going back.

Amazing place and food!!! By far, this is the best vietnamese place ive been to clean and comfy dining area with unique design. I the food, especially the vietnamese pancake (not your typical pancake). And most of all, really affordable!!! To think the place looks like a 5 star restaurant. I really recommend this place!!!

Nice vibes - I like the neon sign and plant wall. Food was really yummy - salt yolk tofu appetizer was great and a large portion. All of the portion sizes were generous. Pho was yummy. Everything is well-priced.

I ordered take out and the portions are so small especially when the price is so high. I ordered the Lemongrass chicken and it barely tastes like Lemongrass. I ordered a regular pho and a large Bun bo hue and it was the same size. And after the meal we were super thirsty downing water throughout the night. Too much msg. I was hoping to have a good experience supporting a new restaurant but I was disappointed.

Tried this new restaurant for lunch and had a great experience. The service, food, and ambience were great. It is comfortable and vibrant. Great quality food. I ll definitely come back again. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Vegetarian options: There were several vegetarian options listed on the menu and looked really good.

The new Vietnamese restaurant in New Westminster (where the old Tamarind Hill used to be). Wonderful lemongrass chicken (ridiculously moist chicken), broken rice with fish sauce...yum. Hostess was the sweetest! Very unique choices, so worth a repeat.

This place is pretty cool with a vibe. Especially Karen our server was so diligent and welcome during our dinner! She s such an amazing and sweet person Love the food and the designs.

Great food, service, atmosphere and value! Will be coming back for sure

Great food and service. Already come back twice to try different food! Highly recommend

Food was delicious, our server Kim was great and did he best despite it being very busy and not having everything I wanted as they were out. Great little restaurant.

Super tasty food and affordable price! highly recommend

I ordered their lemongrass chicken and pork chop on rice. It was quite bland and the pork was dry. Not enough lemongrass flavour on the chicken. Portions were small. My friend ordered the grilled pork and shrimp vermicelli bowl with spring roll. She said the spring roll tasted like it was fried in old oil and the shrimp was really dry that the skin was sticking to the shell. Definitely room for improvement.

Atmosphere is good, but amongst all the Vietnamese options available in Vancouver, Jokim doesn t really hit the spot in authenticity or novelty. The flavours aren t quite right, but prices are not outrageous.

I enjoyed their traditional Vietnamese dishes and their modern food. Also have wide selection of vegetarian dishes. BBQ platter comes with 2 glasses of beers and a side dish !! . Awesome I Recommend Mango prawn salad Hue beef noodle soup BBQ platter ll Vegetarian Singapore rice noodle Mini savory coconut pancakes

Recently tried Jokim and it was a little underwhelming. Nothing bad, but nothing great about the meal. Would have been 3 stars, but the value isnt there for what you pay for. I had ordered the salted egg tofu, bun no hue, mango salad, sausage, and soy chicken garlic ramen. Salted egg tofu lacked flavor. Needs some salt or a dipping sauce. Although you can taste hints of the salted egg, it was pretty bland overall. Bun bo hue was ok. Definitely better places around for it. Portion size of the meat was so little for a large. 2 pieces of Viet style ham, 2 halves of a meatball, 2 small pieces of sliced pork, and 2 pieces of sliced beef came with my order. Does a regular size just get 1 of each then? Mango salad needed more acid/sweetness to it. The sausage also was a little bland. The only dish that actually had a decent amount of flavor was the soy garlic chicken ramen. Overall, I think there are better options for Vietnamese food across the city. Everything was just a little lacking.

2 times Ive eaten here. Nice staff, but the soup needs to be hotter when served.

Service took way too long and food was not good at all. We ordered the platter for 2 with chicken wings, grilled lemongrass chicken, sausage and asparagus with a side Caesar salad. Salad was average, and none of the things on the platter is grilled. Asparagus tasted like it was deep fried.

Service was good, but the food flavour wise was disappointing. The spring rolls were quite bland and didn t have a satisfying crunch. Meats were well cooked but uninspired flavour wise. Portions were adequate. I always show up for local businesses, but with good alternatives not far, I hope to see Jokim rise to the competition, but will be going back to my usual spots for now.

A lot of restaurants were closed in the afternoon today (Easter Monday), but I was glad to have the opportunity to visit Jokim Kitchen for the first time. Pictured, is a small bowl of the Bun bo Hue. The lovely server even helped me pronounce it correctly. This spicy beef broth is worth a million bucks (but it was only just over $10)! The large (spaghetti?) noodles were a surprise, but entirely satisfying. I had to get a photo op with the neon wings wall too. Fun!! Wheelchair accessibility: Right on the street, no steps.

Nice owner. They have thick noodle for pho which is how it s supposed to be. Affordable price. Wish that she would have tendon pho on the menu!

It was surprising to come to Canada and find a restaurant that suits my hometowns taste so much. I just accidentally searched on Google for my hometowns food. There are many restaurants to choose from, but I tried to experience it at the restaurant. Jokim Kitchen really did not disappoint me at all, the dishes are beautifully decorated, the flavors are unique, the service is enthusiastic and fun, different from other restaurants I have experienced, that day my family went 4 people, we are all very satisfied, Will support the restaurant for a long time, wish the restaurant always maintain its form, business will move forward

We visited this new Restaurant in New Westminster for dinner and we were very delighted by their authentic Vietnamese dishes - being a Vietnamese myself, I must say this is one of the best Vietnamese Restaurants in BC. Jokim has a menu which offers a wide variety of delicious Appetizer and Main Course, and they do offer Vegetarian food as well. Surprisingly, the price of the food is very reasonable comparing to the quantity and quality of the food served. We had Mango prawn salad, Mini savory coconut pancakes and Grilled lemon grass chicken rice - everything we ate was so fresh and delicious. The chef used the best quality ingredients to produce dishes that are simply delightful and we were super happy after the meal. The service is outstanding, the staff is always ready to help, the premises are very clean, the atmosphere is lovely. The food is both delicious and beautifully presented. Now weve found our new favorite place and we highly recommend this restaurant.

The food here is deliciously authentic and the price is very reasonable. Another pro of this restaurant is they offer small and large size options for pho and bun bo hue.

Got Bun bo hue! spicy but not oily. Highly recommended Parking: Street parking

A Vietnamese restaurant by chance when I came to BC, Canada, the menu is diverse with Vietnamese dishes, I was impressed with dishes such as pho, Hue beef noodle soup, broken rice and many other dishes...... These The dishes I tried here were all very delicious and rich in flavor. If I have the opportunity to travel to Canada again, I will definitely come back because of the friendliness of the restaurant

Delicious food. Friendly employee. 10 points

I came here with my family to enjoy Vietnamese food and I was really satisfied. Great food, affordable prices, very nice and clean space. I highly recommend this restaurant to those who want to enjoy delicious and reasonably priced Vietnamese food.

I ordered the lemongrass chicken with rice. It was pretty bland. Theres no seasoning and I couldnt even taste the lemongrass marinade. Also, the chicken looked like it was just pan-fried. It wasnt grilled.

Great food. Unique selections as well. I will review again if they have hot coffee on the menu, but right now they dont have it.

Went here with my partner and I have to say they has the best lemongrass chicken in town! The steak is also very well done. Reasonably priced drinks. Friendly staff and fast service. Will come back to this place again!

beri good food

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that our dining experience was top-notch. One of the highlights of our meal was the Banh Khot. These mini savory pancakes served with fish sauce were absolutely delicious. The combination of flavors and textures was superb, leaving us craving for more. It was a delightful appetizer that set the tone for the rest of the meal. We also indulged in the grilled platter, which consisted of special grilled beef, pork, and shrimps. Each item on the platter was expertly cooked and bursting with flavor. The meats were tender and juicy, and the shrimps were perfectly grilled. It was a feast for the senses and a true delight for meat lovers.

Relatively new restaurant right by the RBC. Great food with lots of veggie options at very reasonable prices, and fantastic atmosphere. Really hope they get some craft beer soon, to complete the experience!

It was tastier, cleaner, and had a better atmosphere than most Pho restaurants. Its fresh :)

Good ambiance good menu unexpected for a joint like this decor modern updated price steak at ,20 is good had crave for truffle fries and surprisingly they have it we ordered to the pork with spring rolls it worth it

Should ve known better than to listen to a TikTok recommendation. Came here due to the interesting menu items you do not typically see at Vietnamese restaurants. The bun bo hue and pho was decently priced and tasty. The banh khot was bland. The salted egg yolk chicken knees were served cold and was extremely salty. The layout of the restaurant is poor, with too many tables cramped together. They were understaffed and unable to successfully serve at the volumes they hoped to. I had to give this place only 2 stars because it took them 35 minutes to serve us our food. They were processing take-out orders in between tables, causing a massive backlog. How can it take 35 minutes to serve a noodle soup when other places take less than 5 minutes? I m sad to say I won t be returning.

Best pho i had in a awhile. Broth and the meat is so good

I would give 5 stars but my reason for 3 stars is that the restaurant wasnt even half full we got in sat at our table waited 10 mins with 2 servers before taking our order. Food was great the soy chicken Ramen was way way too much garlic it was like biting into fresh garlic. But main reason was it was not busy and our order took close to 1 hr to wait before we started to get our food it was like only 1 chef in the back cooking for well whole restaurant. Loves the wings was great and all but coming from years in the food industry.which keep in mind its a pet peeve is that hearing the host server telling customers that we are closing cause ran out of stock and saying oh I been here since 1030 am and it wasnt even 4 hrs on severs shift telling guests the tired and they need a break during a lunch hour made my opinions of other reviewers go out the window. Never tell guests your tired we closed and you need to take a break. What if they were actually food critics let alone secret shoppers to rate and review your restaurant. Bad move on their behalf I will go back 1 month from now to see any improvement if not then good luck with the staff who told multiple guests she tired only working few hrs on a not full restaurant that seats maybe 15 to 20 ppl and it was half full. Lets hope they do better next time.

A bit lacking. Food taste was 3/5 and food value was also 3/5. Okay tasting but doesnt stand out against other Vietnamese restaurants, and a bit pricey for small portions.

Another head scratcher that s 4 stars. At best it s 3 stars. Pay parking in the area unless you park at the mall. $15 for house special that barely has any meat. I am not sure what s making this rank higher than it should. Barely any meat at all.think mall pho. MSG galore.

Tasty food but it took a long time to come out. The neon signs and big TVs didnt seem to fix the space.

Unique menu offering different items you don t see elsewhere. Restaurant decor is very cute and staff are friendly.

Kid-friendliness: Despite the delicious food, they don t only provide high chair, a very cute set of cup, bowls and cutlery with monkey cartoon but also food scissor that was great for parents to cut food into pieces for kids!!! Food

Like the deep fried tofu dish quite similar to Shanghai style

Nothing but great tasting food here. Been in new Westminster multiple times but never ate here. The place is clean and the staff were attentive. Highly recommended. Make sure you try their shrimp on coconut pancakes! Super yummy!

Good service

We were looking for a nice restaurant after seeing a movie at Landmark Theatre. Jokim Kitchen is now one of our favourite Vietnamese restaurants in the Lower Mainland! The food here is amazing!! Must try their Grilled Lemon Grass Chicken Rice and Fried Chicken Wings (Butter Garlic Fish Sauce). Customer service was excellent! The lady that took care of our order was very kind and attentive. We can t wait to go back! Instagram: @nikkzandatsu @alyssamaq

Excellent Vietnamese cuisine. One of our party had a serious allergy to peanuts and the kitchen staff took extra care to ensure a good experience. Prompt, professional service with a friendly vibe.

Great tasting food. Flavor and texture is perfect. Food tasted fresh. Portion is a bit small for its price.

The rating is based on their beef noodle soup only. Attentive servers and does not charge for extra garnish or sauce. Modern look, got the club vibe.

The broth of pho is really good. Meat balls are fantastic. The price is right. I would ask for additional meat because they serve one of each meat.

Food is average, nothing stands out. Bun bo hue used the same broth as Pho so might as well just get Pho. Service is slow but we can let go because they opened recently. For that we are ok but what is unacceptable is we are 3 adults, an 8 year old and 2 baby and yet they didn t disclose an automatic application of 18% tips and still ask for more tips when given the terminal for payment. Basically bad business practise, below average service and food. Beware of influencers reviews

We came on Wednesday expecting not so busy but they already had almost full house when we arrived, there was only one server and we have to wait for table cleaning before getting seated, they must probably didnt expected so busy on Wednesday too. We had platter 2 and Saigon style platter, it served with glasses of beer and a side dish, so great deal. First time tried wings tossed in garlic fish sauce and it was so good too. Only downside was the shell on prawn on platter, we have to peel off the shell and it kinda messy but the prawns are perfect cook so i dont mind. Parking: Free parking in royal city mall which opposite to the restaurant

Ordered steak and fries take out. Got a box 3/4 full of crinkle cut frozen fries with some stewing beef fried in vegetables. Absolute joke of a restaurant.

When you walk in there is a really cool feature wall. That was the highlight of the meal. The food was okay at best and for an authentic Vietnamese restaurant, I didnt expect to see ramen or French fries on the menu.

Portions are somewhat small, food was good though. The fried chicken knuckle dish was soooo good I can eat 3 plates of them.

Pho is great! I love the rice noodle texture! Not overcooked! I ordered chicken pork rice, if the meat is less salty will be perfect! Restaurant setting is very comfortable and clean!

Loving our local restaurants. This is definitely my favourite contemporary restaurant. Great portion size, authentic food Food

Had a wonderful experience dining here! I ordered the soy garlic ramen and it was delicious and filling! The service was also excellent and very accomodating :)) Parking: There are reserved spots behind the restaurant

I got the vermicelli bowl and the coconut cakes. The vermicelli I found was soggy and too wet which diluted the taste and their fish sauce wasn t flavorful enough so it made the bowl taste bland. Definately not authentic comparing to other places I ve been to. The coconut cakes were tasty but I don t think I d return to try other items on the menu. Vegetarian options: They had a good amount of vegetarian options

Over all restaurant setting is nice, clean and modern, not your typical viet restaurant. Ordered the Pho special, presentation was a 5. But food looked better than it tastes. Lacking flavor and noodles over cooked. Tried it once, been here, done that.. sorry wont pay a second visit.

We went to this a few months after it opened and was pleasantly delighted by the elegant environment (complete with instagrammable angel wing background!) and excellent service. It was a great place to hang out, chill and have a wonderful conversation. Unlike many pho places, it was super clean and comfortable. The food was extremely well priced! I ordered a beef pho and my friend ordered a grilled chicken dish. Portions were huge and generous when prices were less than $15 per person! You can barely even find a burger at this price now. Love how you can customized your dish with add ons. I would definitely come again. Great addition to new west. The below are not my pics because we were too distracted eating and taking to take pics, but you get an idea of the cool ambience. Check them out!! 4.5/5 stars from me for value.

There s parking! We came after dinner hours so it was just us hehe. The portion sizes I d say are decent, the plates and atmosphere and the type of menu caught my eye the most! They had sharing platters too, so I ll have to try out this place for groups or that first date :) It s close by the mall so you can walk around after! Flavour wise is pretty standard! I think I ll try the bun Bo hue next we just got the pho and the lemongrass chicken and pork rice dish.

Very welcoming environment as well as customer service. Price is very reasonable and the food is excellent. Highly recommended.
