JakJin Bistro Pho & More


 

Located at 4414 Lawndale Drive in Greensboro, JakJin Bistro Pho & More serves Vietnamese cuisine from 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday-Saturday. Lunch specials and online ordering are available. There is limited seating (indoor and outside).

 

This small, unassuming, family-owned spot serves up an excellent bowl of pho. While other varieties are available, if you are OK with meatball or chicken, the $9.50 lunch special is quite a good deal. I opted for meatball and was rewarded with a large bowl served hot and fresh. It came with the usual accoutrements bean sprouts, Thai basil, etc.), but I was tempted by the mention of the chili paste being made in-house. Though the broth was plenty flavorful as-is, it added a welcome burn.

 


JakJin’s proprietor was friendly and appreciative, and service was fast. The rest of the menu looked promising (beef basil and stir fried noodles are also lunch specials here) though some of the regular menu items (I’m looking at you, papaya salad) seemed priced a bit high.

 

For those traversing the Lawndale/Battleground area, JakJin should be toward the top of your list of lunch spots.
