Service was great. Food was served hot.. Employees are knowledgeable of The menu and can assist. I received my fries 15 minutes beforehand as I Had to wait a while for my 12 piece…. They said it was delicious.!!!

Health HazardI was told by my sisters that this place was good so drove an hour there around 6pm. We ordered the Carne Asada fries, hot cheetoes fries with bulgogi, and honey Siracha wings with 2 fountain drinks. The fountain drink was out of order. The guacamole and pico de Gallo on the Carne asada fries were spoiled so we returned it and requested a second order of the hot cheetoes fries with bulgogi. Wings tasted okay but were chewy. We received the second order of fries without the bulgogi and they argued that it cost extra to add it. So after arguing we offered to pay extra just for them to deny the payment and give us the bulgogi for free. I am 32 weeks pregnant by the way. I woke up the next morning with a really bad stomache ache and threw up all the food from that place. Costed about $53. Worst first experience ever.

For some reason, they were closed. Showed up at 1140am, closed. Showed up again an hour later, closed. No signs or warning.

Tried this joint out for the first time and loved the food. I loved my wings. I like that I can order it plain and be able to pick sauces to dip. You have a choice of having it mixed and coated on the wings or plain and ask for dipping sauce. The wings were big sizes not mini wings. You definitely get moneys worth. Tried other Asian inspired foods and was so delicious. Korean bbq beef in all the "joint" specials were so good. I like that it's right next to the movie theatre and easy parking is literally just across the street. We got great service. Owners were always asking us how we were doing. Great place to get together with friends and chill. Can't wait to go back and try more of their menu. This place is a must try.

This place did not disappoint. We came here to meet up with some friends to have some wings & some good food & that's what we did. This a great place to hang out & have drinks too. It's right next to the movie theaters so you can eat here right after watching a movie. We ordered all kinds of food. You can't go wrong with anything that has "Joint" in front of it!!! Lol we ordered the Joint Fries, Joint Burrito, Joint Fried Rice, Join Tacos & they were all good. The chicken wings were pretty darn good!!! I like them dry so I can dip them in the sauces. We also ordered bowls & they were all delish! I actually loved the spicy tuna nachos. I would definitely come back because I need to try me some of these burgers that they have to offer & other things on the menu. Lol Service was great & food was nice & hot! Great place to hang out!

Came here with a group that recommended that they wanted to try this place. It's been quite a few years since my last review. Surprised that this place is still around!Didn't notice that we had been here years ago until I pressed to write a review. So this would be an "updated" review.Ordered to go with our group. We waited for OVER AN HOUR for the food. There was only one person in front of us, and we only ordered these 5 items (not including the 4 thai tea drinks which came out 15-20 min)We tried the following items:Frisco Melt Burger (burgers come with a side of fries) we asked for no salt and the fries we got had salt on them even though the box says no salt. It was downhill from here. They also look like they put a few pieces in the box and was not full, basically looked like someone ate some...fries were not crispy and soggy. It was super overcooked to the point where it was super well done and super dry. The only thing that was good was the bacon, it was surprisingly crispy. The burger was mediocre. In comparison the salmon burger to go box, it was uneven. It looked like a full set of fries as a side too so they def got more fries??? Ridiculous.Curry fries - literally fries with curry poured over it. The curry wasn't even hot, it was lukewarm.Carne Asada Fries - tried it immediately right when we got the order. The fries weren't crispy and the carne asada tasted like it was reheated, quality of the meat wasn't that great, it was also unevenly seasoned/slightly salty. Very much like scraps thrown together. Overcooked. Cheese that is drizzled on top tastes like the gross melted canned cheese.Salmon burger - just plain dry and overcooked, not great.A set of 12 boneless wings - they were just very much crispy battered popcorn chicken like. Not much chicken but mostly crispy batter. Surprisingly it wasn't salty. But they also weren't amazing tasting either. Thai tea - too sweet and milky. 80% of the cup is basically milk/half & half. They also didn't filter it well and there's black tea bit grains in it.I don't understand how terrible it was, and how nothing came out hot considering we literally waited over an hour and when the food comes out it isn't hot????We noticed that the to go boxes are SMALLER in side and depth for the fries also in comparison to if you order a burger...They accept credit cards but there is a $3.50 "processing fee". They don't specify or tell you up front that there is a fee on top of the taxes, only a little sticker on their payment processing machine.We would not come here again, still not sure why people like this place, it's not amazing, it's not great, quality is low and mediocre...overall I would not recommend this place as it is highly overpriced and def not worth the quality/taste.

I ordered through GrubHub and the delivery took twice as long as the initial estimated arrival time suggested. The food was underwhelming considering the reviews I had read previously. By now I realized that I had made a mistake by not sorting based on the "recent reviews". Overall, everything ordered was definitely on the salty side which I understand is subjective. But I do have a saltier taste palate, and this is beyond even what I can tolerate. I was also disappointed that there was barely a smear of kimchi on the taco even though this is supposedly a fusion style. What was left were just soy sauce saturated meat and nothing bulgogi about it. The chicken wings were very salty also, but fried nicely so I gave a 1 star for that. All in all, I've been wanting to try out the place and had high hopes. But after this experience, I'm seriously contemplating about returning, unfortunately.

Enjoyed our wings alot. Service was with a real smile. That is always appreciated these days. A casual dinning atmosphere but we were still approached and asked if we needed anything. Would come back again.

Oh. My. God. Pictures don't do any justice. Everything tastes amazing from the first bite. Service is great, food AMAZING. I love this place and will def come again very soon. This satisfied my heart. We got joint fries and joint tacos. A little too late to take a pic for the fries but look at the tacos DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!!!

I’m so glad we tried this unique little place! Everything on the menu is delicious. The joint fried rice is basically kimchi fried rice (minus the kimchi) with bulgogi, which I’d highly recommend. The fries are tasty and so are the deserts. When we went, they weren’t very busy considering it was the weekend, so go out and support this place!

First off, this category of comfort food is amazing! Came a couple of years ago and decided to revisit to experience their food and the flavor profile was great as I remembered, if not better. I got the signature Joint Fries (Kbbq Bulgogi + Kimchi Fries), their spicy tuna nachos, and also their Kbbq Bulgogi + Kimchi Quesadillas with their in-house aioli sauce which I got for the first time and only wish i got it before.Also the customer service was great! Rheanna brought out our food separately when it came out fresh and also came to check on us to see if we needed anything which was super nice of her.The restaurant itself has a large selection of alcohol beverages so it's definitely a chill spot for a group of friends to enjoy drinks and comfort food with!
