This has been one of my favorite spots to go to when in doubt about getting something fast and good. When arriving to the restaurant, you'll be greeted immediately. You'll have to place your order at the counter before sitting at your choice of any available tables. Once seated the wait person will bring out your food. I like the fact that when you order your food, it will be prepared and ready to be served in less than 10-15mins. The variety of food you can expect to choose from are of Chinese or Vietnamese dishes. One of my favorites that I usually get are the salt n pepper wings. They are crunchy and moist from the inside. On occasion they do tend to over fry it a bit and it becomes too crunchy so be prepared for that. Other than that, the wings are super hot and semi spicy. They are pretty generous with the fried garlic and peppers so I usually use the remaining of it on my other dishes (yum!). My other dishes that i go to are the scrambled eggs with prawns or beef over rice. Make sure to tell them you want your scrambled eggs semi dry otherwise the scrambled eggs will come out runny. This dish is superb with the right kind of hot sauce and a little bit of salt. Oh..... also try their Mongolian beef over rice and their bok choy with beef chow fun with oyster sauce. Those are great tasty dishes as well. As for the ambience for this place, it's fairly quiet. Most of the customers are regulars and local families that come here. The place is big enough to bring a group of friends to gather around and eat. Overall this place has been around for a long time and it's still one of my favorite places to go to when in need of something fast and tasty.

I've been to Jo Jo's twice, and their honey walnut prawns is a must. I usually hate walnut prawns because many places put WAY too much mayonnaise on, and it just tastes disgusting, but not here. Both times, I got the Gan Ban chicken and walnut prawns. The house-fried rice was nothing special, and the shrimp was not seasoned. The second time, we got the BBQ pork instead, which was a great choice. The lady who helped us both times was very sweet and professional. The place is quite spacious and clean. I highly recommend this place for your Chinese/ Vietnamese American food.

The amount of food you get is very generous. The Crab Rangoons are big and really stuffed inside. Most places don't put that much filling inside. Honey Walnut Prawns are perfection. Beef chow mein was sooo good. I can't wait to come back here and try more things on the menu.

Rude and insulting staff! I will NEVER go here again. Worst service I've received maybe ever! It was so bad I will go out of my way to discourage others to not go here either.

We get take out here usually. I love their: Soft scrambled eggs with beef over rice- who knew eggs could be so soft and delicious? Gan Pa chicken- crispy fried chicken in a sweet, mildly spicy sauce.

Review update. Looks like the last time I reviewed this place was 9 years ago, they've changed over the years. Chinese, Vietnamese and now Chinese and Vietnamese. Don't come here to be wowed. But if you come here hungry and you're looking to get decent food for a fair price, this is the spot for you. The over rice specials are the way to go. The Mongolian beef is my favorite. But watch out for those raw onions.

This place not only has a chill atmosphere, but rally amazing food at super reasonable prices. I'd recommend this place if you are a student at CCSF. Definitely a business I’ll be introducing my friends to if they ever come out for a visit.

I ordered the chicken with garlic noodles and it was delicious. The chicken was tender and juicy full of flavor and the noodles were also jam packed with flavor. Great pricing and great food portions. Interior is exceptionally clean with a nice atmospere. All in all Incredibly impressed with this place!
