Chicken tenders
Nancy L.

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.

Combo 1 mild

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.

Combo 1

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!

Fries, chicken sliders

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!

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.

Banana Pudding
Angie A.

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.

Truck
Khiem N.

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.

Medium Tender ($6)
Rachel L.

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.

Jojo's food truck!

I'm ALWAYS looking for crinkle cut fries. Are they a sure thing here?

Yes! They're good!

Is it possible to ask for extra seasoning on tenders or fries?

Hi! Yes! Please write your request in the “special instruction” section or someone at the window. We got you!

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

What I…read morelove about it is that you don't have to chase down local food trucks by checking out their Twitter or Facebook updates to know where they'll be parked. And on top of that you get to experience a whole bunch of awesome Bay Area food trucks all in one spot. Moveable Feast on Friday nights in Willow Glen is a great foodie date night for sure. The bf and I have been here twice now (first time was still during my jaw surgery recovery phase where I was unable to chew, so it wasn't as exciting for me then). This last time we went we noticed that the most popular trucks were Sam's Chowdermobile, Grilled Cheese Bandits and Hill Country BBQ. The lines for those 3 were endless. But we did get to try come mashed tater balls and a delicious italian style grilled cheese sammich from Grilled Cheese Bandits about an hour before Moveable Feast was closing. And the bf got the very last link dog over at Hill Country BBQ, which he said was better than the Miso Dog he had over at Oh Miso Hungry truck. Let me list out what we had at the few trucks we chose to order from. Oh Miso Hungry Kimchi grilled cheese was actually not as good as it sounds. The kimchi was definitely delicious but it didn't taste right being super warm in between those pieces of Texas toast. And the Miso Dog the bf had, he liked but didn't love. MoGo BBQ Kalbi and bulgogi tacos. I liked the meat, tasted good. Not a fan of the corn tortillas they used. Barefoot Coffee The bf ordered a small coffee on drip to swing over to Treatbot Ice Cream since the guy over there told us the ice cream tastes bomb with that coffee. I had a sip of that coffee, holy shizz it was strong! Treatbot We had a scoop of horchata and a scoop of chocolate ice cream to go into the coffee. This is the second time I've had their horchata ice cream and I'm a HUGE fan for sure. Hill Country BBQ They ran out of most of their food about an hour before closing time. I liked the sauces they had out and pretty curious about the Porkolicious sauce. Looked interested! Next time, I'll be sure to try some of that pulled pork that was oh-so-popular. Grilled Cheese Bandit We ordered the small order of mashed tater balls which were okay but a bit too salty for us. Their Giuliano sandwich sure was bomb though! It came with mozzarella, parmesan and tomatoes with pesto on this amazingly soft Italian batard bread. Hands down, best thing I ate that night. I'm still very curious about what Sam's Chowdermobile has to offer but that damn line never let up! It was also extremely chilly that night, what the F happened to summer weather San Jose? But yeah, next time we'll definitely have to just stick it out and stand in line for some chowder. I would rate Moveable Feast 5 stars if they included better dessert trucks than just Fairycakes (cupcakes, which I'm not a fan of) and ice cream and candy. I want some PIES or something a bit more dense for dessert peeps!

I arrived on a Sunday afternoon for a late lunch. Dave's Hot Chicken is located in the nice Village Oaks Plaza off Cottle Road in South San Jose. Plenty of parking is accessible in the large parking lot all around. The restaurant has a vibrant modern decor with bright fun graffiti plastered all around the walls. It is spacious with plenty of tables inside for dining. I wanted to try a bit of everything so I ordered Dave's meal #3 which consisted of 1 tender, 1 slider, 1 slice of bread, pickles, and a side of Dave's sauce. I selected mild heat level. Everything was delicious. The tender was moist and flavorful. The slider was scrumptious with every bite. Fries were crispy and salted just right. Dave's sauce worked perfectly with everything. Overall I enjoyed my experience at Dave's Hot Chicken. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was family friendly and welcoming. Opening until late night hours is convenient. I will be back to try the other menu options.

Dave's #1 $14.99: 2 tenders w/fries Dave's #3 $15.99: 1 slider, 1 tender w/fries (3ppl got this one) Dave's #4 $10.99: 1 slider w/fries Small top loaded fries $6.99: Chicken bites over fries with sauce and pickles. Frozen Minute Maid strawberry lemonade $3.99: One note, my drink wasn't with the order during pick up, delivery person said they weren't given any drink, so double check for that when picking up! It was a winner. The chicken was crispy for everyone's order, and not dry. Now, the breading and meat on the chicken was bland, BUT the sauce for the chicken was perfect for it. Maybe that was the intention, less sodium is a positive! It definitely needed the sauce. Can't go wrong with the fries either, crispy as it should be. It was enjoyed and everyone was in a good coma after. Especially everyone that ordered #3 haha.
