The food was amazing. I was home visiting my family in San Jose and food spots are hard to find. I came across this spot and ordered way too much, I was eating it all night long. The chicken was addictive. read more

I've been dining at Jojo's for years, but the quality control lately has become completely unacceptable. After my last few orders through DoorDash, it's clear that something has changed for the worse. The portions have shrunk significantly, what used to be a standard chicken sandwich has been reduced to a "fun size" portion, and the fries, which used to be overflowing, now look like a meager serving of leftovers & the sauce is very watery! It is incredibly disappointing to see a long-time favorite cut corners like this. Please get this together and return to the standards that built your reputation, or the loss of loyal customers is a certainty. read more

Jojo’s Hot Chicken - Chicken sandwich & fries - Food Trucks Near Me - San Jose, California

Love this food truck! My friend and I came on a weekend evening and were able to find parking nearby the truck (although later customers had to park elsewhere). On a cold night, we sat at an outside table and enjoyed our slider and tender with toast. Service was quick, and we got our order within 10 minutes. The portion size was decent for the price; we ordered hot chickens and they were less spicy than expected. The chicken was tender, crunchy, and had great seasoning. Their side fries without sauce are honestly my favorite way to try them! read more

Jojo’s Hot Chicken - Tender and Slider Combo - Food Trucks Near Me - San Jose, California

Came here in search of good fried chicken. It's a food truck with very little outdoor seating. We waited for about 45 mins. We ordered at 5:01 and it didn't even look busy or crowded. The chicken was indeed amazing ,,, tender, juicy, crispy with the right amount of spice. The fries were awesome -- perfectly seasoned and crispy. So high marks for the chicken but it just took a long time. It's probably best to order online and then come and pick up. read more

Better than Dave's for me, the spices blend has a little sugar making a nice sweet and spicy combo

Shared combo 1 (mild) with my boyfriend. We thought that their mild is on the spicier side. Sliders were bigger than I expected. They were equal to the size of regular chicken sandwiches. Their chicken was moist with a thin, crisp crust. We didn't think it's as flavorful as Dave's but it's still good. Their fries are super crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. It's seasoned generously. Sauce is good and you can ask for more if needed. They provide honey and ketchup at the window. Dipping everything into honey made it go from an 8 to a 9. So good. Ordered pickup thru their website and it was ready in 15 minutes. Parking in the same lot that the food truck is in. A couple of tables and some chairs if you wanna eat there. Drinks available in the convenience store right next to the truck. read more

Jojo’s Hot Chicken - Combo 1 mild - Food Trucks Near Me - San Jose, California

Slightly better than angry chicks! Good chicken. And they gave us extra sauce. Suggestion: don't pump the ac to arctic levels. read more

I was craving a Nashville chicken sandwich and wanted to try a new place. The Yelp reviews and IG videos were enough to encourage us to try. Note, parking can be a bit limited. We ended up snagging a spot at the swim and racket club which probably isn't actually allowed. The truck doesn't offer drinks but it's fine because you can take 10 steps and patronize the liquor store and choose from their many options. The food was ready quickly. We ordered a Louisiana spice level slider combo to share and a banana pudding. When I went to pick up the food the super friendly (I think brother owner) asked me if I wanted any sauces. I told him "whatever you recommend. This is our first time". In an unexpected twist he thanked us for trying their food and offered me an Oreo pudding too! SCORE! There were two folding tables with chairs and some nice guys were willing to let us share. The food DELICIOUS! I want to come back to try the bowl and maybe to try a hotter level. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious this place was!! My BF and I ended up getting the combo #1 just to share. It comes with 2 sliders, fries, and a side of their sauce for $16, which I felt was a good price for the amount of food that it came with. Medium heat was just the right amount of spice, but I think we definitely could've kicked it up to hot. The chicken was nice and moist, and the fries were even crispy too! They're just a small food truck in a parking lot, right by a liquor store. There's probably only a handful of parking spots. Food came out pretty quickly and the employees were super kind! read more

Jojo’s Hot Chicken - Combo 1 - Food Trucks Near Me - San Jose, California

My goodness. I can see why this was one of the top on Yelp's top food trucks for 2025! Jojo's is extremely unassuming. It's located in a small lot with a liquor store. They set up a table or two for "dine-in" but most of it is to go. Parking is limited in their actual plaza, but I parked next door at the car wash and walked over. As their name suggests, they specialize in Nashville Hot Chicken. I tried the combo 3 which was the Slider + Tender in medium spicy. My wife got the bowl which is essentially a chicken + fries + slaw version. The chicken here is probably some of the best. The breading and seasoning was spot on. The chicken was fried to perfection and was super tender and moist on the inside. Their Jojo sauce was really tasty with everything as well! We also got a banana cream pudding which was a tasty final touch to an amazing meal. Overall, hands down one of the best hot chicken that I've tried. Would recommend! read more

I've always been a fan of Nashville Hot Chicken style food but many places like to copy and paste the same idea without much thought into how they season or marinate the chicken, this place by far has exceeded my expectations beyond comprehension and it's pretty nice to see these folks taking care of their customers with flavorful food. I'll be recommending this spot to everyone i know, don't miss out and come by Jojo's! read more

Jojo’s Hot Chicken - Fries, chicken sliders - Food Trucks Near Me - San Jose, California

Food truck off Kooser in a parking lot with a liquor store adjacent to AVAC. You order through an iPad and then you wait for your food. They had a few fold out tables, a heater, and some music going in the parking lot. This place takes a while - we waited double the estimated time on the iPad, but it was worth it. We got multiple orders of the sliders to try different heat levels and those sliders are HUGE! The fries were super well-seasoned too crinkle-cut. Chicken was delicious and their sauce is perfection! read more

I had seen a post on IG and after having Howlin' Rays in LA we were craving some good Nashville hot chicken. The food truck is parked in a liquor store parking lot. We ordered from the iPad kiosk and sat outside in the freezing cold. Wish they had some heater lamps or something. Overall chicken was disappointing. The breading lacked spice and flavor it didn't look anything like the IG reel. It really wasn't memorable and the chicken lacked flavor. Without the sauce this would be the blandest fried chicken sandwich. It was pretty disappointing and we probably won't be back. read more

I love Jojo chicken, the fried chicken is the best I've ever had in California. The service is fast and friendly.

We went to Jojo's Hot Chicken for the first time tonight. It was a Friday night around 6:30 p.m. We waited for one person to order before we could walk up to the tablet to order. We sent the order by 6:39 p.m. and the text said it would be ready in about 25 minutes. We were called at 7:04 p.m. so it was right on the money. We brought the food home (9 minute drive). The fries are decent. Nothing to boast about. They are seasoned crinkle fries. They might have been crispy had we eaten there, but it's tough to say. I ordered hot, one ordered medium, and one ordered Louisiana rub (mild). The person eating medium was complaining how hot it was but I was eating what was supposed to be hot and wasn't feeling hardly anything. Either they accidentally gave him mine and wrote the wrong word on the container, or hot isn't really all that hot (I do eat spicy regularly though). The texture was good. The outside was crispy and the inside was moist. I did like the sauce in the cup for the fries. It's very similar to Scratch Cookery in SJ. I have to say, if you had Dave's Hot Chicken next to it, I'm not sure I could tell you which one was which. We would probably opt for Dave's in the future just because there's seating, drink options, and you aren't in the parking lot of a liquor store. Dave's also has unbelievably delicious Nashville cauliflower. Jojo's is a scootch cheaper but the chicken pieces are smaller than Dave's so it's about equal. Scratch always wins for size portions in relation to price, of the three. We appreciate supporting small businesses though, so know it was fresh, tasty, and worth trying. The banana pudding was a nice portion size and was yummers. read more

Easily the best fries of any fried chicken joint and it's not even close. The fries here are heavily seasoned but well balanced. For their fried chicken, it's juicier than any out spot I've had in NorCal. They do a dry rub and the spice level is hotter than the equivalent at say Dave's. Hot is like 1/2 a Thai chili worth of heat. their only weakness for their food is their sauce. It's the weakest of the bunch. They're a food truck parked in front of a convenience store so you go there if you want drinks. You order on a ordering stand and there's two tables equiped with hand sanitizer while you wait! My only gripe was all the bug bites I got at the table. When you order, the machine tells you the ETA for your food. They have lighting fixed around when it gets dark. read more

Solid Hot Chicken spot but I was expecting a bit more considering the raving reviews and hype. I wasn't too hungry so I just got a single medium spice tender to-go. I also tried a bite of the medium slider and some fries. My tender alone was pretty good! The seasoning was so delicious and very addicting. However, I will say that the batter didn't hold up that well given it was takeout, and the chicken itself was inconsistent; dry at the ends and fine in the middle. The slider was nice and moist! I definitely enjoyed it more than my tender alone. And the fries were perfectly seasoned, crispy, and pillowy inside! Medium spice didn't pack too much of a kick, so I'd definitely recommend getting at least hot for spice lovers. My friends and I came by really late. By the time we got our orders, they were technically already closed. Nonetheless, they were nice and gave us extra sauces and honey packs. There doesn't seem to be much seating and parking is difficult at the lot due to limited space. read more

Jojo’s Hot Chicken - Medium Tender ($6) - Food Trucks Near Me - San Jose, California

Absolutely phenomenal hot chicken. The fries are seasoned perfectly, the dry rub on the chicken (I ordered medium) builds to just the right heat, and the sauce is exquisite. I love how crisp and non-greasy the chicken is. Definitely ask for extra sauce to dip both chicken and fries! read more

The food is amazing, I never knew this place existed, and I've lived here for ages. Thankfully found it by looking for places open at 9 PM near me. 4.9 stars with over 100 reviews and a food truck. I was a little hesitant, but so many yelpers can't be wrong. And they certainly were not, the chicken was so flavorful and spiced at just the level you request. My son and I shared the two slider combo number one, $16 from a food truck does seem a little much until you realize how much food they give you . This is definitely enough for two people that are not extremely hungry. I added a side of coleslaw, which was very tasty as well. I certainly understand the popularity of this place. There was a constant flow of business at 8:30 PM. Very friendly staff and it was nice that they had a couple tables outside with some lighting. I would certainly come here again if I was in the area. read more

My friend invited me to come try this spot as I never heard of it. It's a fried chicken truck off Kooser. This one is parked inside of a liquor store that has limited parking. According to what people said, this place is supposed to be really good. There is an iPad kiosk to order your food. The chicken itself wasn't memorable. It was average. The seasoning wasn't memorable either. They have a few picnic style tables next to the truck where you can eat your food which is nice. Prices aren't bad, as you get two sliders and fries for $18! read more

Jojo's is getting a heavy buzz on Yelp these days (See Yelp's list of 50 best food trucks in nation) so we decided to check it out and add our review. First of all expect food truck style ambiance and in this case "food truck in a small and crowded liquor store parking lot" ambiance with the occasional roar of the next door car wash in your ear. With that said JoJo's serves an excellent hot spicy fried chicken slider style sandwich with tossed and seasoned fries. You choose the spice style and heat level from a plentiful list of options. Our choice was Combo #1 with Louisiana Rub which came with a dipping sauce. We ate our orders fresh from the truck at one of two tables bordering the car wash. We took two more orders home to the hungry troops who were binge watching Netflix. Jojo's got thumbs up all around! They were good; very, very good. We'll be back, but next time we will opt for the homey atmosphere of our kitchen table rather than the liquor store/car wash ambiance at the truck. In summary, Jojo's was darn good! I'm not sure it's "top 50" good but we enjoyed it immensely and we will be back. What to expect: * Plentiful sauce options * Smartphone notifications when order is ready * Difficult parking, suggest across street parking when crowded * Sliders and yummy seasoned fries read more

Honestly the best fried chicken spot in the South Bay and possibly Bay Area. Super good and worth the trip

Had the the bowl, I forgot to take a picture. I'll have to come back again and get some pics. It was super delicious. My sons been raving about this place. Definitely better than Dave's hot chicken. Not greasy and lots of flavor. A little pricey but it's reasonable they serve a lot and you get what you pay for definitely worth every penny. read more

We just finished hiking Mt. Umunhum nearby and desperately needed something to refuel. I'd seen on reddit that morning that Jojo's is the best hot chicken in the San Jose area and mentally bookmarked it. Luckily, convincing my boyfriend to get Jojo's was a pretty easy task. Located in the parking lot of a convenience store, it was initially hard to spot and I drove right past it. My boyfriend pointed it out to me. Parking lot was small and full of cars. Squeezes into a pretty tight spot. Ordering was done by kiosk and pretty easy. Menu was small and simple, which is great! We opted to share a combo #3, mild, just in case. I never order spicy the first time I go to a restaurant just in case, though I am a spice fiend. The wait was maybe 15 minutes. There were other cars waiting for their orders. We decided to eat at the tables beside the truck. We got extra ketchup and honey packets. The mild was not spicy at all, I'll have to try out the spicier levels next time. The fries were nice and crispy, sauce was a great accompaniment to the chicken and the fries. Pickles were nice and sour. My boyfriend hates pickles and deemed these as the only pickles he'd be willing to eat. The slaw was nice, chicken was beautifully battered. I don't know how much of our enjoyment could be attributed to this being our first meal of the day at 6pm after a long hike, but it was delicious! We'll have to come back again, though it is quite a drive. read more

Jojo’s Hot Chicken - Combo #3 - Food Trucks Near Me - San Jose, California

I don't get time to myself at all, so when I did last night, I wanted to try this place because I have had it bookmarked for some time and I was craving Nashville hot chicken. I thought this was on Kooser and Blossom, but it's on Kooser and Camden, so just FYI. Located in a small parking lot (liquor store and a nail salon, I believe). I had to park illegally otherwise I wouldn't know where to park. They have a kiosk. You just place your order, pay, and wait for your number to be called. If you include your phone number, you will get a text when your meal is ready, too. I ordered their #1 (sliders w/ fries). I used to test myself by ordering the spiciest, but since I am older I am aware I need to play it safe, so I would not hurt myself. I ordered the medium spicy (def not spicy), so I would order HOT next time. The chicken was tender, not dry.. I loved the crinkle cut fries. Barely any coleslaw, but the thick slices of pickles gave it that crunchy tartiness texture to the dry rub! The JoJo sauce was delicious and creamy. For the first time I did not check emails. I did exactly what I wanted to do; decluttered my home, setup my Buddhist alter, and finished 2 Netflix series (The Watcher and Devil in Ohio). I am going to try and finish Midnight Mass before returning to work Tuesday. I also plan to take Friday off to hangout w/ Gavin. The work will be there, Gavin will turn 13 next year; I will never be able to get the time back. But the point I was trying to make is.. go out and try a new spot! Go and knock off a bookmark! Explore! What a perfect way to end 2023 w/ this review. Not new year, new me but I need to center my energy on me for once. I am not going to put myself on the back burner anymore. Come here to get your Nashville hot chicken!!! Happy New Year, fellow Yelpettes!!! SYOY! So grateful for everything. read more

Here to update my review one more time! Hands down the best Nashville style chicken sandwich in California. We have tried multiple places Nashville style place in California and nothing comes closure to Jojo's. We drive down almost 13 miles to get our favorite chicken sandwich and will keep continue to do so. The people who work there are the sweetest! Great customer service. Thank you Jojo's chicken for serving the best Nashville chicken burger in California! read more

I love their portion!! I'm a small eater and I cannot finish the entire spicy chicken sandwich at most other places. The portion here is perfect for me, I can enjoy whole piece of chicken and both buns in one meal. Chicken is crispy out side and moist inside. Two sliders with lots of fries for $18 is a steal! read more

It's like crack. Went back 3 times in 2 weeks. Can park across the street easily. Gets busy. Despite this, eat it there or in your car or close by. It's way better hot! Fries are good. It's not 4th highest rated in the US nothing read more

Jojo’s Hot Chicken - Food Trucks Near Me - San Jose, California

Wow wow wow this was good. So good. If you're looking for some bomb fried chicken sandwiches ("sliders" here although a pretty generous size for sliders haha) Jojo's is awesome. There's only two things on the menu right now: sliders and fries, or tenders and fries. Good thing their fries are crispy, tender inside, and served with the ridiculously good tasting Jojo sauce. I don't know what's in this creamy concoction aside from probably some mayonnaise, but it's addictive. I slathered it on everything. Since this was my first visit the chef/cashier (Jojo himself?) gave me an additional slider on the house. And let me be clear - I ate all 3 sliders within a 10 minute period. As soon as I had the first bite I didn't stop. Well, to breathe yes, but the food kept getting eaten. The sliders themselves are perfect. The chicken is juicy with a super crisp and delicate crust, the cole slaw and Jojo sauce add some moistness and acidity, and the bread was warm and lightly toasted. I even liked the pickles in the sandwich, despite typically not enjoying them. Another factor to mention is the choice in spicy levels. I ordered "hot", which was good but... could have been a smidge hotter. Next time I'll try "extra hot to see if the addition of scorpion peppers makes it more my speed. But honestly even without heat the sandwich is so good, I would eat it mild. Jojo himself is super nice and positive, and knowledgeable about modern classic European cars which was a nice surprise. The truck is located in a parking lot in front of a minimart/liquor store and a hair salon. There was a long table set up if you want to eat in, although I had errands to do so had to eat on the go. There's a decent amount of parking, although 5 pm on a Saturday probably isn't peak hours. Venmo and credit cards are accete Overall it was fantastic and I am looking forward to coming back. read more

literally the last time i visit this place! not to mention--i gave them FREE promo on my IG & their service has declined since ! don't know what their problem is, but as a supportive local, i've done absolutely nothing to this establishment, whatsoever, to receive undeniably horrendous customer service. this is the 2nd time i place on online order, but irregardless, end up waiting even after in person ordering. At 5:10 PM I refreshed my order status which said 0 orders ahead/in progress and i STILL didn't get my order! 2 others did right AFTER i asked and mentioned my order is 5 mins late. Not exactly sure why there is ill intent but I'll never go back. read more

Didn't know what love felt like until i found this chicken. Don't even have another photo this time. Ate it too fast. I get takeout here at LEAST monthly I am obsessed with their food! Idk why they're not on the michelin guide at this point because the food is 10/10 perfection to me. Y'all should apply for it or something, i'll never get chicken anywhere else it's amazing. Sauce is amazing, everything covered in honey is amazing, chicken is juicy the seasoning is bold and flavorful. I want to write another review every time I eat here. I die and go to heaven eating this food. Whatever crack they're adding to the seasoning on the fries and chicken is addicting, wish i could buy the seasoning. I'd put it on everything read more

Jojo’s Hot Chicken - Combo - Food Trucks Near Me - San Jose, California

Who would have thought SJ would have legit Nashville hot chicken that is juicy and full of flavor. I think it's better than Dave's and reminds me a lot of Hattie B's. It's no Howlin Rays but better than most chicken places in the bay area. The crinkle cut fries were seasoned and crispy. I like that the food isn't overly greasy where it makes you feel sick. The parking lot is small (8 spots shared with liquor store) so I ordered online and parked across the street in empty strip mall to eat it while it's still fresh. Nice people and quick service, food was ready in 15 minutes. I would come back. read more

I thought I tried all the chicken sandwich food trucks in San Jose, so I was surprised when I saw Jojo's Hot Chicken. I decided to try the Combo #3 which includes 1 tender, 1 slider, fries and their Jojo's sauce. I figured it would be a great way to get a taste of the menu. It was a great idea because it tasted great! I also decided to try the cookies and cream and it was a great dessert. Overall would definitely come back if I was ever at this part of San Jose again! read more

Love this place. I like to call it in a hole in the wall. It's located in a parking lot off of Kooser, a random location but the food itself is really good. I personally like the chicken with mild spice, even-though I've tried most spicy options with the sauce. The sauce is delicious. The employees are really nice and very giving, but sometimes it can get really busy, so you might wait 30 mins for food (happened to me). read more

Very neat and clean place, quick turn around time, one of the best chicken joints I have been to.
