JoJu is a solid lunch spot that keeps its focus tight and executes well within that lane. We walked…read moreinto a straightforward, no frills space where the menu centers on banh mi with some rice bowls and drinks rounding things out. The portions are generous enough that a single sandwich can genuinely feel like more than one meal's worth of food. The banh mi is the main reason to come, and the pork versions are where the kitchen shines most. We ordered the caramel pork, which is worth it. The meat is cut down into small pieces that pick up flavor throughout and create a layered bite alongside the pickled vegetables. The tofu banh mi holds up well as a vegetarian option and carries a gingery, carrot forward flavor that works. The bread leans toward a softer, thicker cut rather than the thin, crackling crust of a more traditional Vietnamese version, but it still holds the fillings well without getting soggy. Service is fast and the overall experience is quick. The staff moves efficiently and our order came out in good time, which makes it a reliable option for a workday lunch when you do not have much time to spare. The banh mi travels well if you are taking it to go, and the packaging keeps everything intact. It is a good spot for a filling, well priced lunch that does not require much planning beyond showing up. We would come back for the caramel pork banh mi and appreciate that we can be in and out without sacrificing quality or portion size. For a quick, satisfying Vietnamese sandwich in the area, JoJu delivers exactly what it promises.

Got the "Bulgolgi Bomb Me" banh mi for lunch on a busy Saturday afternoon. It comes with bulgolgi,…read morekimchi, a fried egg, pickled daikon/carrots, cucumbers, cilantro and mayo. You also get the option of "4 sauces" with your order, which you can get on your sandwich or on the side (for free!) I love extra sauce, so this option is really great. I ended up opting for their spicy mayo which tasted good with the bulgolgi. The meat, bread and everything was 5/5. The banh mi is filling, satisfying and definitely more than enough for a hearty lunch. This was my first time trying the Flushing location, and was very pleasantly surprised!

I went for a Freddo Matcha. You can add honey or sugar for sweetness. I opted not to get as I wanted to taste the matcha. Their matcha is pretty good! I would get a little sweetness next time. I would try their pastry next time as well. There are a couple tables, and I was able to sit and finish my drink.

The almond top one is quite similar to a pineapple bun...but um the flavor isn't as strong? It's not bad but it's not something I'll crave. Also picked up a lemon bun (the drizzling of lemon creme on top seems to be inconsistent; some have less, some have more) so we'll see how that tastes.

This is the place named after what Topanga said when she first saw Corey naked…read more If you had to stand in line for 30 mins to get served, it'd be "Boreyodang." If the servers called you a motherf***er while taking your money, it'd be "Sworeyodang." And if you were able to trade sexual favours for baked items, it'd be "Wh*reyodang." This underrated and amazibg spot is easily my favorite location of this chain Bakery. I'm fairly certain that some of the negative reviews are written by rivals. Yelp is nowhere near as "protected against fake reviews" as it thinks, or advertises. I know so many business owners that write masses of reviews for their own business (and some are not filtered), and even masses of negative reviews of rival businesses. I think that may be happening here. There are ways around it, which makes me wonder how much we - the customers and Yelpers - and the website itself, really care. If their cakes were mouldy, they'd be Sporeyodang. If Margaret Thatcher owned them, they'd be Toryodang. And if they were Argentine, they'd be Chimichurryodang. Anyway I love this Koryodang. It's brand new and big and spacious with absolutely lovely service. They make their signature Taro teas and the Milk Tea is better than the other locations. I love hanging out here and tasting some of their baked goods, although others are overrated - such as all the sponge cakes... but that can be said about many korean-style bakeries. If I were a Korean I wouldn't make a Korea in sponge cakes. If the girl behind the counter was sleeping on the job, it'd be Snoryodang. And if they were actually killing customers in the back and serving them in Red Bean Buns, it'd be Goryodang. And if the bathroom was for more than just #1 and #2, it'd be Gloryholedang. I find it pretty sad that the ratings are so bad when this place is considerably better than a lot of the rivals. But then people are entitled to their own opinions. I just hope they're legit. And if there's a 45 year old guy trying to hit on the 17 year old Asian girls (and boys), that's Predatoryodang. Even if the girls (and boys) are willing, that's still Statutoryodang. And if Billie Jean shows up and shows you a photo and his eyes are like mine, I refuse to pay any child support until I'm shown evidence of fatherhood on live TV after being dragged on Mauryodang.

Wanted to see if it's true, that it's hard to find a bad empanada. The result? What I picked up that came with a small container of green hot sauce was quite fine, and I suppose if you're going to serve them anywhere near the #7 train you'd better be on your game because there are a lot of great choices there. I didn't find the inside to be particularly inviting and service was curt and made one feel like they'd imposed on the person that waited on me. Oh well. Still, not a bad choice for the area.

Not too greasy and very crisp. Situated on a corner of the block, they have a fairly large dining area considering it's a bakery. Can easily seat 20. But the menu is where it gets interesting. Their prices seem to be very reasonable and the place is home-y. They serve breakfast all day, talking eggs and bacon people! They even sell burgers and Spanish Rice dishes. I didn't get to try any hot food (except the empanada) as it was a Saturday afternoon around 3pm. Just stopped in for drinks and snack food. My family and I tried the croissant (very doughy not flaky which I didn't care for), the Oreo cupcake (yummy), pan Con Queso (cheesy bread which was great), and bought a Napoleon (to go, was for someone else). A lot of the cakes on display looked great but I didn't shop for that. There were lots to choose from and I'm eyeing the flan on my next visit. The tables were clean and the staff were friendly. Nice local spot.

It's been so long--almost 10 years--since I last visited JoJu and tried their food. And guess what?…read moreIt still tastes just as good as I remembered! Same old location in the heart of Elmhurst, same old interior, and many of the same menu items. I think the only major addition is their rice bowl section. I was on my way to JFK and wanted to grab dinner to go, so I placed my order through their website. The ordering process was super easy. By the time I got through TSA and found a place to sit down and eat, a few hours had already passed, so the rice had cooled down quite a bit. But even then, everything still tasted just like I remembered--and even the rice was delicious! Can you imagine being surrounded by people lining up for overpriced airport food at JFK, while you're sitting there with a bowl of delicious JoJu goodness in front of you? Definitely worth bringing it through security! For sure, JoJu is a must-visit foodie stop whenever you're in New York. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town!
