Very well researched, written and executed review PLAYA!! We are opening a new restaurant at Shepherd and West Alabama next week. Same everything as the Chinatown location. Dream

I'd have to agree - the food at Jenni's is okay at best... one can certainly get better pho over at Pho Saigon, or better vermicelli at Mai's/Kimson, or cheaper at Van Loc. I still go there -- but I'm definitely of the opinion that the friends you are with make Jenny's far more enjoyable than the food. I find it maybe a touch too expensive also, did they raise their prices recently? (let's not forget that in addition to the environment, the sign next the napkins also says it is to keep costs down...) I mean 14 bucks for the super-duper fried rice, drink, tax and a (admittedly small) tip? Maybe a bit too much. (and don't fry the rice so much! it's not supposed to be super charred rice!) And you forgot to add that Jenni's is now BYOB! JB

Jenni's Noodle House might be okay . . . except for just mere blocks away is Little Saigon. Places like Pho Saigon on Milam . . .well, heck any of the pho shops in that neighborhood - do a much tastier pho and other noodles than Jenni's. But I guess they don't have clever t-shirts.
