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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
We love jojos! This is our grub food after a good night out. The staff here is amazing and they their customer service is top tier!

JoJo's Hot Chicken has been a fried chicken food truck that's been an awesome option. Recently, they have moved to a restaurant located near Campbell. It's clean and has a lot more space than the truck. Food might take longer because of the demanding service. Fried chicken is always consistent and leaves little room for improvement. This is always going to be a daily for me and I will continue to forever attend this place when I'm craving fried chicken. read more
Thursday we had the late night munchies and decided to check in on how one of our favorite food trucks was faring as it transitioned to a brick and mortar restaurant. First the good, Your favorites are still there and are just as good served across a counter as they were handed down from a food truck window. We split their sliders with Louisiana Rub and fries and loved them as we always have. Secondly, it was a bit slow on this Thursday night. I believe Jojo's Kooser road customers haven't found their new home. Third, some thoughts on the location. It's clean but utilitarian and basic. I'd love to see it get a little soul and perhaps provide more of a nod to the food truck past. Maybe also expand the menu with the larger kitchen? Jojo's still has the sandwiches we love and it will be fun to watch it grow into its new space. (Loved the Jeremiah and Corinthians references too. Appropriately hopeful) 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

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

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
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

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

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 puts popeyes,Kfc and chick filet out of bussiness . BY FAR this is the best chicken sandwich in the world. Pictures and reviews speak for itself. I ordered a spicy chicken and the sause that came with it was insane good. The fries were just ok but overall the best. They are located on camden and blossom hill and they serve their food out of a truck. Its a very nice fancy up kept clean truck. Stop by and look no further 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

This food truck is located right behind a gas station, next to a liquor store. It's nice that they do provide two tables and chair to sit outside to eat the food, wish they would add an extra table if possible. This place does get good business, the wait is not too long for the food. You order the food on a kiosk, then they'll call your name when it's ready. Saw this place on tik tok and we wanted to try it because it looked bomb, it was indeed good! They provide you with a lot of food, so definitely get your moneys worth. They have a Bible verse on their truck which I thought was neat! Definitely one try this place out if in the area. read more

What kind of oil do you guys use to fry your chicken and fries in? My daughter has a peanut allergy. Thank you!
