JOJA Reviews
I have been shopping there for many years and love the selection of vendors that are there. We can almost always find what we are looking for including gifts from local artists and made quite a few friends with some of the vendors. There is something for everyone. Also I recently became a vendor myself.
We arrived about 30 minutes before opening, and after the doors opened, it was another 30 minute wait before our food was ready. Whether that is worth it is up to you, but I can definitely see why this place has such a following.
The smash burger was one of the best I've had in a long time. The patties had a great crust, the burger was packed with flavor, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The ratio of burger meat to bun was perfect (double patties). Though it may...read full review
Is it worth the wait?? Not for me. You can find a better burger for $19, but you won’t find a longer line! But if you got an hour to kill, then by all means go for it. Burger is solid.
Skip the truffle sauce or ask for it on the side. It completely drowns out every other flavor. Worse, it makes a huge mess. On the other hand, the spicy mayo orange sauce they give on the side is tasty.

JOJA serves flavorful food, with standout dishes like the truffle smash burger, which features caramelized onions and truffle sauce. The burger is cooked over a grill, resulting in a flavorful Maillard reaction that creates dark brown bits on the patty and perfectly cooked onions. The burger is juicy and filling, enhanced by the legendary slice of American cheese and the creamy, flavorful truffle sauce that hugs the burger. Fresh and crispy fries, including bacon truffle cheese fries, complement the menu perfectly. Customers have noted that, despite the long wait sometimes exceeding an hour, the hardworking and friendly staff make the experience worthwhile. The fries are highly praised, especially the loaded bacon truffle cheese fries and the spicy orange sauce, which adds a fiery kick. Prices are a little high, with nearly 20 dollars for a double patty burger, but the quality and love put into each dish make it worth the wait and the hype. The spot is open on Saturdays at Kaka'ako market from 8-12, and visitors are advised to arrive early before popular items sell out. Overall, Joja offers flavorful burgers and great fries that keep customers coming back, even if they have to wait a bit longer.
