I had an absolutely incredible dining experience at this Korean restaurant! From the moment I stepped in, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, setting the stage for an unforgettable meal.

I started with the mandoo, which were perfectly steamed and packed with flavor. Each bite was a delightful burst of savory goodness! The double fried tofu was another highlight; it was crispy on the outside and wonderfully soft on the inside, making it an irresistible treat.

The chicken curry was rich and aromatic, with just the right amount of spice that left me wanting more. The cheesy katsu was a unique twist on a classic, with gooey cheese melting beautifully around tender chicken, and it paired perfectly with the nice sauce.

The japchae was a standout dish as well, with the sweet potato noodles cooked to perfection and tossed with vibrant vegetables, creating a delightful mix of textures and flavors.

To top off this amazing meal, I indulged in the vanilla ice cream tempura, which was a heavenly combination of warm, crispy batter surrounding cold, creamy ice cream. The chocolate cake was the perfect ending—rich, moist, and utterly indulgent.

Overall, every dish was a masterpiece, and the service was exceptional. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough! Five stars without a doubt!

This was such an incredible place where every dish was better than the one before and nothing went untouched. The shrimp tempura was light and the perfect texture with amazing depth. The beef teriyaki bites were so flavorful and convinced us to order a teriyaki dish for our mains as well. The gyoza was incredible as well. Onto the mains, the spicy chicken was the best dish of the night with a mix of spice, vegetables, marinade, and other flavors. The beef came second while the members of my party claimed that the fried rice was the best that they have ever had. On top of the amazing food, the service was so friendly and welcoming. We will be back to try more and try again.

I’m giving 3 stars, clarifying that the food is excellent; the Joa Joa roll is one of my favorites. However, the service when dining in is extremely slow. We had a reservation for 8:00 p.m. on Valentine’s Day and didn’t leave until 10:30 p.m. I understand that this day is particularly busy, but this is the third time we’ve visited, and the wait time is always long. We usually prefer to order for takeout because it’s much faster, but for Valentine’s Day, we decided to give dining in another chance. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a good experience. We were among the last tables to receive our food, and I felt rushed to eat so they could free up the table. They also forgot the soy sauce, and we had to ask another table for it. Although the flower detail was nice, we didn’t receive one, I assume because we were among the last to be served. It’s worth mentioning that we weren’t the last ones to arrive; there were people who came after us, and they left before we were served. I don’t understand how they received their food before us. We’ll probably continue ordering takeout, but I think this will be our last time dining in at the restaurant. I believe they need to have more staff. Thank you.

food was good but presentation was weird. despite having a traditional KBBQ table, they just have one of their servers come over and cook the food in front of you all at once. by my definition that is not Korean BBQ. if to you define Korean barbecue by cooking your own food, do not go to this restaurant.

Best place to get sushi in the area. Extremely fresh and tasty, beautiful place, and the service is always top notch. So glad this place opened here in the last few years!

Really upscale atmosphere for a place tucked in a strip mall. Food is good as well.

For a strip mall restaurant…this is a gem! Relaxing atmosphere and friendly service. Food was great with large portions, only complaint was the hot tea we ordered was a bit cold but other than that we enjoyed our time and will go again.

Really enjoyed our meal. Kids got sushi and I got tonkatsu. I did have one criticism. The tables in the booths are too short like by 3 inches on both sides.

Fortuitous find, from out of state, we were stuck and stumbled upon this fine Korean establishment. Superb food, comfortable surrounds and hospital hosts were to be found here in a strip mall, nonetheless. We were elated to eat here as I’ve spent time in Korea and food and service paralleled their customs. Can’t rave enough about freshness, promptness, and flavor served here! Be back for wedding, end of month and will return since shower and wedding food is far exceeded by the Joa Joa Sushi offerings. They saved the day for us!!! Thank you. Com so me da…

Avoid this place, they sell old sushi and sashimi. The fish is old, tastes and looks bad. Quality of food is not good and prices are way too expensive.
