Their banh mi inspired double-fried fries really are amazing and substantial with the pickled daikon radish & carrot topping with spicy mayo, green sauce garnished with cilantro! Good thing I customized my order so that the jalapeño peppers were on the side. The Vietnamese iced coffee is also good. It is heartening to find that technology propels business success from the computerized loyalty program, self-checkout kiosk to the option of following Joju on social media and leaving a Yelp review. Having been a loyal customer for more than ten years, I would say that the Joju banh mi inspired fries, sandwiches and bowls have a unique twist. A nice casual eatery to visit with friends who would like to try Joju's version of the classic fries, sandwiches and rice bowls. They also have a refreshing variety of drinks to pick from. The associates are helpful.

Not a lot of people talk about this place but to be honest there was something about the quality of the chicken and the crunch that felt really geniuine.

All the other food was well above average such as the bulgogi, fried chicken burger, spicy pork and even the sweet potato fries were really good. Its a little small so I can't imagine having to wait for a table but I was honestly just impressed overall with the food. Pro tip get the inkind app and stack with a coupon and you're golden.

From the moment you walk in, it's clear they've nailed the branding--bright, eye-catching signage, a fun, energetic vibe, and a layout that feels welcoming without trying too hard. The counter staff are friendly and efficient, striking the right balance between chill and helpful. They'll walk you through the menu if it's your first time, especially when it comes to the real star of the show: the sauces. Can't decide? No problem--they'll let you split orders so you can try multiple sauces in one go. The wings themselves are crispy, meaty, and well-sauced--messy in the best way. Each order comes with a few mini sides: see photos. Beer lovers, rejoice: there's a solid selection of drafts and bottled brews, with enough variety to match whatever heat level you're working with. Heads up, there are only a few tables to sit at.

Chose Sumatera because I just wanted a nice hole-in-the-wall homely feel. Small but personalized experience and prompt service. For the food, lots of traditional dishes on the appetizers and main course section. I ordered the Batagor drenched in peanut sauce to warm up with flavor flooding. This is a popular Indonesian street food consisting of fried fish dumplings and tofu under a splash of peanut sauce, sweet soy sauce and lime juice. Something new and this dish hits well to start the visit. Main course, chose the Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng, a classic you can't beat. Since the food here is the closest authentic Indonesian spot in NYC, I had to try it here. Not one part of the dish was off. The coconut rice, spicy sambal, spiced deep fried chicken, crispy anchovies, peanuts and the fried egg complimented each other. This was a shared dish as my mom and I are tiny eaters but we cleaned the plate on this one. Secret operation was to introduce another restaurant to my mom and she was very pleased with this pick of mine. She grew up eating many forms of Southeast Asian cuisines from her childhood. It was a successful mission when you see your parent requesting to order the restaurant's sauce and extra takeout.

First time was there back in December. I didnt review in yelp. I would gave them 5 stars. I went…read moreagain last night, and it wasnt as good. I would gave them a 2 star for yesterday's experience. First, the place was empty on a Friday night at 10:00pm. Probably have 3 takeout order while we were sitting down. The first time I went was on a weekday night back in December, and there were more patrons. Not sure if the place is going down hill, but they dont have slushies anymore. We had the mango slushies the first time, and the only drinks available was whatever bottle drinks they have in the fridge. Mind you, they dont serve you water, so you have to get drinks since the food is garlicky or spicy. We wound up getting the milk tea ice rice this time. It was ok. I never tried it, but the rice is a bit hard. I won't order again. Best dish is large eggplant. Very flavorable, maybe a bit too garlicky. Will order this again. Also, the chicken wing is huge, for the price of $3 each. Thats why we ordered 2 chicken wing this time. But, I think it wasnt grilled as nice as my first time. Still good since it is a lot of meat for the price of $3. Lotus root is also pretty good, glazed with sugar. The worst i would say is the lamb, a bit too chewy, lack of flavor. The bathroom has all sorts of postcard of famous album. I found that pretty neat. Lastly, I think the squid tentacles is much smaller than before.

I couldn't be happier with my experience here…read more The service is friendly and the QR code ordering system is very convenient. It was so cold out the night I went so I was very happy they kept it nice and warm inside the restaurant. There's a very large selection of skewers, they have basically everything you could want. I especially appreciate that you can order just one of any skewer, unlike some other places where certain types only come in orders of 3 etc, allowing you to order a large variety even if you're dining alone. The seasoning was delicious, and every skewer was not coated in identical seasoning. None of it was spicy at all if that's what you're looking for, but none were lacking in flavor. The meat was juicy and you could taste the smoke from the grill. I loved the different textures of vegetables which were all well cooked. I'm still thinking about the crunchy exterior of the rice cake. I think my favorite skewer was the lotus root, which was perfecting complimented by the seasoning mix. An amazing meal! 16 skewers came out to less than $50. I look forward to returning!

The food here is seriously always so good and the service is extremely quick. The small shop only has limited seating but the food gets prepared in a blink of the eye. My go to here is always the pad Thai. My only complaint is that the dried tofu use to be a lot better and use to soak up the delicious sauces making every bite of tofu super flavorful. They did change their tofu a few years ago but the flavor of the pad Thai is still one of my favorite around so I have learned to accept it and move past it. Definitely one of my favorite Thai places and I could just be biased from my childhood memories but the pad Thai will definitely never disappoint!

Authentic Thai spot with interesting menu items. I ordered Pad Prik (but apparently not the same as…read morePad Prik King, which is the dried red curry I was anticipating) which was tasty but heavily seasoned with soy sauce. The inside is small with only around 6 tables. My friend ordered a different menu, maybe it was due to the snowy weather but some of the veggies on the plate came out frozen, with ice coated. So maybe stick to the hot plates.

Normally I try not to write negative reviews but the experience here wasn't great…read more First off they didn't have a lot of stuff that was on their paper menu. We order what's available on their kiosk machine. I ordered some fried rice because how can a Chinese restaurant make bad fried rice? Well, i can say don't order the fried rice here because it's bland and flavorless. My daughter ordered some mini dumplings and she was still hungry after she finished and she is the lightest eater in this world. Any case, it gets worse. We ordered 3 drinks. She comes to us 10 mins later that they didn't have any tea left (we ordered a smoothie, passion fruit tea and honey lemon tea). How does a place run out of tea with 2.5 hours before closing? Highest profit margin and you can't make a batch of tea??? The girl at the register said she was refunding us back for the drinks. Not surprisingly, we never got the refund. Overall not a great experience and will not come back.

Pork & Crab Dim Sum -- little bombs of flavor that disappeared faster than my paycheck on a Friday. This place is a gem. Customer service? Top notch.

The food took much longer than expected to come out (maybe like 30min). Beef momos (kothey style) (5/5): It was worth the wait!! The skin was a nice chew with a crunchy bite mixed in. The stuffing was wonderfully flavored and balanced. The sauces were basically unneeded!

Day before a blizzard, always is a great time for good eats. Aside from ourselves there was only 1 other couple, but again it's mid day before a blizzard. The restaurant is decorated perfect IMHO. Without being anything over the top I felt it was a very nice balance of dark, old, new and modern - where needed. I really liked the feel and the space. The food - finally my first momo platter. Again being a vegetarian it's hard to come by. It was insanely good. Nothing like ordering "dumplings" if U ask me. But so much more wholesome dough, filling, and fresh herbs. And the 2 sauces were intensely different from any other condiment I've ever had. We also ordered an amazing black tea with honey lemon ginger - my fav. And paneer chilli, and aloo timur. Both just as great with no oily, greasy, saltiness to it and fresh herbs and spices. At the end we caught up with some small talk with the young woman who served us and said bye til we come here again - debility for the jhol momo and the brunch platters next.

Service here is great and if you pay in cash, there is a slight discount. I came during their lunch deal and it was ~$30pp for AYCE sushi. You get an iPad to order and you can order as much as you want, and they bring out your food fairly quick. We got a variety of their nigiri, a couple of their rolls, and tried a bunch of their appetizers. I wasn't the biggest fan of their takoyaki or their sushi pizza as I felt that it was mostly just flour and rice--with barely any sauce. On the other hand, their unagi fried rice was flavorful, their nigiri and rolls had an amazing fish:rice ratio, and their fried scallops were delicious. Overall, unbeatable deal and solid quality sushi. Would definitely come back!
