Je'Bon

04/17/2008 Posted by AmyChan3

Last time i ate there was almost 9 months ago. Nothing was special about that visit. I went back with 2 friends last Friday and noticed immediately they have added sushi. First I thought this is just another sushi shop but after we tried their volcano roll and dragon roll, I changed my opinion. They were amazingly good. My other friend who doesn't eat sushi tried their Tender Rib Soup Ramen which she enjoyed very much too. We also tried some sake slush at a bargain happy hour price which turned out to be good too. Overalll speaking they have improved alot.

i came here two years ago on a business trip, thought the food was OK and service was less than ideal, but the one plus the place has got going is the pretty girl greeting everyone at the door. Asian, beautiful long hair, just gorgeous. She even served me my food, since the waitress was slow. i went back last night and she was not there anymore. if anyone remember a beautiful asian girl working there about 2 years ago, lemme know too. cos without her my food was much less than average. i am not exaggerating either.

Pros: ok food for ok price

Cons: hostess gone

i went here after finding Je'bon on Citysearch and had some noodles, sushi and sake. I ended up finding the bellydancers down stairs and met the folks that ran it. What an amazing atmosphere! I am informing all my friends of the amazing food and great culture downstairs.

Pros: sushi, bellydancing, sake,

Went to try out Je'Bon based on reviews listed here... and I have to agree with the previous food critics here. I got the Je'Bon noodles - which has fresh fish noodles. It was delicious. The broth was light and flavorful. My friends got skewers and a seafood hotpot which were both pretty good. The seafood hotpot was a bit greasy on the bottom of the dish, but it wasn't overwhelming or anything. Both also had wonderful flavors. The staff was trying to be very attentive, but maybe too attentive for our preferences. They came by to try to take our plates twice, but we weren't finished our food yet, so we let them know. It was no big deal to us, but may cause a problem for others. I'd rather half a waitstaff that's too attentive than not attentive at all. From the front of the restaurant, you don't realize that there's a huge space in the back of the restaurant. I like it because I don't feel like I'm being cramped into a small tight space (as compared to other restaurants on St. Marks). I would definitely come back for the good food!

Pros: Spacious Seating, Good Food

Cons: Service

I was pretty excited to try this place, despite its poor choice of blasting techno music. My boyfriend got his appetizer and meal (while I sat there watching him eat) about 20 minutes before the waitress finally came over and asked, "Are you missing something?" I replied, "Yes, MY MEAL." She walked away. Still no food for me. After another 10 minutes, I called her over and she told me the chefs were "busy." All I ordered was a spicy tuna roll and a salmon roll...nothing crazy. I asked for the check and she didn't even take anything off the bill, let alone apologize.

Pros: Apparently good noodles...if they come.

Cons: Service, Ambience

i've been here a couple times for lazy sunday lunches and i've always enjoyed the food. it's reasonably priced, tasty, and the owner is friendly and nice. it's been empty every time i've been there, but it might be more crowded during evenings.

Pros: good food, friendly owner, not crowded during sunday lunch

Cons: no liquor license, ambience not the nicest

If you are a food lover you will take my advise. Don't waste money and time trying this restaurant. The food was horrible and it taste it like dirty cloth...I you know what I mean.

If you want yummy, cheap food, go to Je'Bon. They have an inexpensive menu with most pan-asian staples. My friends and I tried their beef fried rice ( tender, flavorful), pad thai (NOT dry! steaming hot!), crab meat stick (grilled, tempura-like crab roll wth great house seasoning) salmon roll (light and tasty, not too fishy), skewers (well-seasoned, hearty portions). The staff is extremely friendly. Got the entire lower level for about fifteen of my friends. Owner was great! He provided our own waiter. I'd suggest that you negotiate a different menu for the buffet style dinner for a private party. BYOB! Great location in the middle of the whole St. Marks's scene. You can go to the slew of bars nearby! IRT close. Plan to go again with my friend!

Pros: Cheap menu. Good Food. Excellent Service

I am a lover of Hong Kong style noodles. These are as good as authentic shops in Chinatown and Flushing. The advantage Je Bon has is its great location, atmosphere, and friendly service and owners. I have yet to try the rest of their menu, and I don't think I will until I get completely bored of the hong kong noodles... but I certainly am looking forward to it!

Decent Decor but food wasn't all that appetizing. Pad Thai too salty for my taste. Appetizers were not that great either

Pros: decent decor

Cons: below average food
