Jo's Modern Thai offers a memorable dining experience with its innovative and flavorful Thai cuisine. Standout dishes include dungeness crab, softshell crab, lobster, and branzino. The restaurant features an outdoor patio, perfect for groups with heat lamps for warmth. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The presentation of the drinks is beautiful, and the food is delicious. This is not your average Thai restaurant, as it offers a modern twist on traditional dishes.
The menu features creative and refined recipes, such as Drunken Noodles served with big pieces of southern style smoked brisket and a delicious sauce, and a whole crispy branzino fish stuffed with tiny balls of crispy rice and a green sauce. Pork Belly is served in a luxurious red curry sauce, and the desserts are also super creative and unusual. The server makes the dining experience even more enjoyable. Cocktails are highly recommended, with some like “The Mango One” standing out for their spectacular flavor.
While the prices can be on the expensive side, the quality of the food and the overall experience make it worth the visit. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, though some find it a bit cold, similar to a diner. Service is generally friendly and attentive, but at times there can be delays, with food and drinks taking longer than expected and some orders, like extra drinks, not arriving. Despite this, the food remains incredible, and the atmosphere makes it a great place to enjoy a special meal.
