Ramen, pho and other steaming bowls have moved into Seminole Heights. J’s Asian Kitchen opened last month, adding another casual dine-in dinner spot—or late-night takeout option—along North Florida Avenue.
The new spot at 5229 N. Florida Ave. casts a wide net across East and Southeast Asia, with a menu pulling from Japanese, Korean, Thai and Vietnamese staples. The through-line is the comfort-bowl approach: soups, noodle dishes and rice.
The appetizer list is full of familiar favorites like crispy calamari with sweet chili sauce and spicy mayo, crab rangoons and kara-age in honey garlic, spicy or original styles.
From there, things get steamy. The kitchen turns out pho, udon and ramen alongside noodle plates and donburi-style rice bowls. Sushi isn’t on the menu just yet, but the restaurant says it’s coming soon.
J’s offers a small lineup of bubble teas, classic ramune sodas and mochi for dessert.
J’s Asian Kitchen is open 4-10 p.m. Monday-Saturday.
