What the community has to say about Jae's Cafe

Information about this business (3)

This restaurant has quite a reputation for its Salad bar. The menu is mostly Pan Asian with sushi being a hot favorite. The food preparation is very plain and simple but the taste is exotic. You can choose from a variety of beer and wines to go with the meals. The place gets crowded at lunch hour, so expect to wait a while but it is definitely worth the wait.

Locally owned and operated. See us for all your needs

Jae's Cafe & Grill Restaurant Review

Many years ago, Jae Chung brought contemporary Pan-Asian cuisine to the South End when he opened his bright, modern flagship. Today, the restaurant is owned and operated by executive chef Shun Chen, who diligently maintains the tradition of Jae’s. The place’s hallmark is its enormous menu that hop-scotches across Korea, Thailand and Japan. Of course, since breadth takes priority over depth,...

Good food--pad thai and some sushi--and very attentive service made for a nice pre-symphony meal. Would go again.

Jae's offered half price maki on Sundays and it is simply amazing. The sushi is so fresh and the fish is cold. Hardly any wait to get the food either with a few sushi chefs behind the counter. A great local find with lots of potential for either a romantic date night or a fish filled evening.

Still tasty after all these years

Haven't been to Jae's since the mid-1990s. It is still a very good Korean restaurant that also features some other good Asian dishes. The food was excellent, including the strong bibimbop and delicious shumai. Even better was the attentive but not overwhelming service. The staff handled our party of 7 beautifully.
