I drove an hour to get here, my wife and daughter came with me I ordered 1 fish hoagie and it fed all 3 of us, I've had many fish hoagies but this is surly the best I've ever had, perfectly seasoned, moist, batter was sweet and no too crunchy, staff was informative and welcoming!!!!! 10 out of 10 read more

Let's start with the most positive note. You receive your order hot and very quick. You can see clearly into the kitchen while your food is being prepared, the cleanliness and pace in which they're working. Inside there's a small lobby area where you can order your food on two kiosk it could get pretty crowded so it may be best to do as everyone else by waiting in your car. Within 10 minutes I received a text that my meal was ready. I received hot, very large portions of food. As for the food itself as noted by others the special sauce for the additional two dollars helps the taste of the fish as the fish really is bland, but it's not overly coated with breading. I had the buttermilk fried fish it was a good sandwich, however, the bread was a little too hard for me. It was giving me day old bread. The salmon fried rice was excellent plenty of flavor, nice portion of salmon and other ingredients, this I would do over and over again. The shrimp fried rice was pretty good and it's something that I also would order again. What is not their fault? Parking is at a premium But you can find parking within a block. Overall would I go again? Maybe but only if I'm in the area I wouldn't rush, but I wouldn't avoid it. read more

I've been waiting to get here, and I finally made it. It's a true takeout spot where you place your order at the Kiosk. The music was good to keep you entertained while you wait. I placed my order for the Thai Chili fish hoagie. I was a bit annoyed that I could only add 1 item to the sandwich. I wanted lettuce, tomato, hot and sweet peppers, but couldn't get all three. Once the order was placed, it took exactly 9 minutes for my order to be ready. The fish was hot and the peppers and Thai sauce were a good pairing. The sandwich was just OK to me. The portions are hefty, and you could save one half for another day. However, the fish didn't have enough flavor, and the bread was tough. I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5. But you go and judge for yourself; it may be to your liking. I want softer bread and more flavor. No matter what, I will always do my best to support Black-owned businesses. Til we eat again... read more

Jordan Johnson's - Whiten fish and Fries . Fish not golden brown as you can see burnt. Fries is not fresh taste like they were cooked in old cooking grease - Seafood Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Leaving them only 3 stars pains me because of how long we've waited to try them. We ordered the buttermilk fish hoagie and the salmon fried rice. We will start with the good, the salmon fried rice was amazing and abundant. Unfortunately the fish hoagie which we've hyped up in our minds fell flat. It was fat and full of meat unfortunately it was overcooked, a little hard and dry. I kind of feel like the fish sat out for awhile. It was a big sandwich but it didn't hit the mark. We vowed that we will go back and try the fried shrimp and wings and will definitely fry the salmon fried rice again. read more

Customer Experience Review - Jordan Johnson Restaurant I visited Jordan Johnson Restaurant with great anticipation after seeing the restaurant featured on TikTok. I was traveling from New Jersey and planned to grab dinner on my way to South in Philadelphia for a jazz concert. I truly wanted to support the business and experience the food for myself. I arrived around 6:00 PM and placed a simple takeout order--fried rice with shrimp and salmon. At no point during the ordering process was I informed that there would be an extended wait time. By 7:00 PM, I checked on my order and was told the restaurant was only on ticket numbers in the 100s, while my ticket number was 2266. I was advised to wait outside in the cold or sit in my car. As time went on, I checked again and was told they were around ticket 216, while I was still waiting. It became clear that the wait would be much longer than expected. By 8:00 PM, with a 9:00 PM show to attend in Philadelphia, the delay became extremely frustrating. Had I been informed upfront that the wait would be approximately 2 1/2 hours, I would have made a different decision. When I attempted to cancel my order due to the excessive wait, the situation escalated unnecessarily. Instead of understanding or an apology, the owner confronted me publicly and stated that a 2 1/2-hour wait was normal. My concern was never about how busy the restaurant was--I understand and respect success. My issue was the lack of communication. Customers should be told upfront about extended wait times so they can make an informed choice. During this time, other customers who were waiting in line expressed similar frustration. Several people canceled their orders, particularly those waiting on rice dishes, as the kitchen appeared to be significantly behind. All of these exchanges took place in front of other customers, which felt unprofessional--especially coming from an owner. Situations like this should be handled calmly and privately. Eventually, I was told my order could be remade if it was re-entered into the system. After an additional 10-15 minutes, I finally received my food. Unfortunately, after such a long wait, the quality did not meet expectations. The rice was greasy, the salmon was dry, and the shrimp was overly salty. Given the strong online reviews and social media hype, I expected the food to be excellent, but it was not what I anticipated. I want to be very clear--this review comes from a place of honesty and support, not negativity. As an African-American woman, I make it a point to support Black-owned businesses, and I am one of the biggest supporters of Black men running restaurants. Being born and raised in Philadelphia, I know how important it is to uplift our community, especially since we do not have enough Black-owned restaurants thriving in this city. I am genuinely happy to see Jordan Johnson Restaurant doing well and wish the owner continued success. However, success must be matched with transparency, accountability, and customer service. If demand has outgrown the current space or systems, it may be time to expand or improve order management. Unfortunately, due to this experience, I would think twice before returning. That said, I truly hope this feedback is taken constructively, as clear communication and professionalism could greatly improve the customer experience and help the business continue to grow. read more

Jordan Johnson's - Salmon and shrimp fried rice - Seafood Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

First time trying this place after seeing it on social media. i ordered the buttermilk fish hoagie and i have to say they pack this thing. It's enough for at least one other sandwich or to share. Price point is reasonable for the amount of fish they put in it. The fish was fresh and hot the way it should be. I only got tartar n hot sauce with lettuce and tomato. The fish alone didn't have much flavor but it did have a decent breading/batter. The bread was a little tough for my personal liking and it probably goes without saying if your not going to eat it right away don't get any veggies bc they will be mush from the fresh hot fish. I ordered in-store via their kiosk and service was friendly and not a long wait time. Mid day on a Sunday had a few people in front of me but nothing crazy. I would return to try other menu items, as a few people in line told me about their fried shrimp. read more

The food is amazing everything we had was delicious, first let me start off by saying this hoagie is so big you're probably going to need two days to eat. It not only is it full of flavor. The sauce on it was amazing. I could've just licked the sauce on his own. When you arrive there, just know that it's best to order online or put your order in advance because the wait is long but it's well worth it. When you get there you have to put in your order through a kiosk and then they make your order fresh out the kitchen. This place is a to go, pick up is a must. The kitchen is pretty open for the most part. You can see them working in the kitchen and when I tell you, they were busy. I hope everyone that reads this try it, and you will not be disappointed. read more

Jordan Johnson's - The Mango Habanero Buttermilk Fried Fish Hoagie - Seafood Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We are traveling home and while looking for somewhere to eat nearby, stumbled upon this place. Looked at photos of the food and decided on the Thai chili fish hoagie and the mango habanero wings. Ordered and paid online. Within 15 minutes, our order was ready. The fish hoagie was piping hot and DELICIOUS!! It was fresh, seasoned to perfection and stuffed with fish! The roll was soft too. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the mango habanero wings were not spicy at all. I love spice and was disappointed but they were definitely fresh and cooked well. The place is small but clean. We will be making this a must when visiting family in Philly. *Didn't get a pic because we dove right in but the photos shown here are accurate! read more

I've been eyeing this place for a while since I first say the reel about it on IG. I didn't know when I would get a chance to visit because I live in North Carolina and they're only open on the weekends and my days off are Wed/Thu but I was in town last weekend and I made a point to get this done. The parking can be a challenge but I took my chances and parked at the grocery store across the street. Do so at your own risk, they have signs posted but I didn't care I had to have this fish hoagie. The line or the wait wasn't long. I went in placed my order at the kiosk and stood there peeking out the window to make sure my car didn't get towed, LOL. I was hoping you could sit down and eat here because my hotel was 25 mins away but this is take out only. That's why I only gave them 4 stars but the hoagie was one of the best ones I've ever had. I hope I get to try it again soon. I will be prepared to eat in the car next time. read more

I wanted to try this place because of social media. For me, they lost me at the signs inside and the men who worked there yelling. That was a turn off. I ordered the catfish hoagie, catfish fried rice, honey wings and jumbo shrimp. The shrimp was no where near jumbo and they were cut into halves, wtf. The wings were hard and dry, fried rice was bland. The only thing decent was the catfish hoagie. Service does matter. And I'm not for the attitude and yelling. That was the first and last time going there. read more

Drove my mama an hour to this place. They told me they had NO FISH and there would be a 90 MINUTE wait for the salmon fried rice. We got there at 4pm on a Saturday, that's not late IMO for them to be completely out of fish. Mind you they're only open 3 days a week. I'll never go back. Complete turn off. 0/10 don't recommend. read more

Good experience for the most part. It wasn't too crowded for a Saturday. Went in and I placed my order on the kiosk and about 15 minutes later it was done. Customer service was good that. I was greeted and told to have a good day. Very pleasant. Unfortunately, once I got home which was about a half hour away. I discovered my order wasn't correct. I ordered the fish hoagie with the Thai sweet chili sauce and cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. My sandwich had lettuce, tomatoes and Mayo. I absolutely hate mayo so that was very disappointing. read more

I ordered a fish hoagie and fries online. It was done by the time I arrived. The food was hot and the pick up was easy. It was crowded and kinda smoky in there but crowds normally mean a good thing! I was super excited to try because all of the great food pics! Buuttttt I was super disappointed when I opened the container for the hoagie. It was soggy, cheese wasnt even melted, and it just wasnt good. Fries were bland. The meal was like $30 and a whole complete waste.... Im sure its wonderful to others but I just cant get on board with their food! Im pissed- I want a refund... Anywayz, I dont recommend and I definitely wont be back. Sorry! Thumbs down(: read more

Best fish sandwich by far. I enjoyed it. Will return. But that was only my 1st time. We will see after a few trips.

The food is amazing flavorful plenty to share great service little tight in side but no the less it delivers in every way highly recommended

Very disappointed, ordered two fish hoagies. The fish was old, hard and not fried fresh; definitely not buttermilk fried. The lettuce was brown wilted and disgusting. Forty there dollars wasted. They make you wait outside so you really don't know what you got til it's too late. Only gave one star to write this review. read more

The food is good. Customer service even better. Clean place. Good environment. I'm there every week

The fish hoagies are abundant, fresh and well seasoned! They have some of the best fish hoagies in the city. It took me 2 days to finish it so it was worth the money. read more

I saw this restaurant on IG we decided to go. I got the salmon fried rice he got the mango habernro wings. Everything was delicious prepared in a timely manner, i especially enjoyed the wings because they are roasted not fried read more

I definitely recommend the restaurant. The food was very tasty. I made two orders and they both were delicious. The salmon fried rice was excellent and they had a cream of curry. Chicken was awesome. It was not like you would get the yellow curry color sauce. It was like a brown gravy Just a tad tasty spicy but excellent. This was my second time there and the flavor never change sometime you go to restaurants and they fall off my friend got the fish hoagie and he allowed us to taste a piece of the fish before we got it and it was great. I like the idea that you can watch them make your food in front of you and you can see the ingredients and the cleanliness that they do with making your food. read more
