Not a bad at all. Tried lunch here and it was delicious. The sushi sizes are excellent and larger than usual which is great. Can't wait to try their Korean BBQ. Atmosphere is great. You wouldn't expect it to be so large inside just by looking at the store front from outside. Excellent decor and space.

Very great service. My water was kept filled throughout my dinner, the seafood teriyaki was amazing, the sushi wasn’t the best but other than that everything was great. I got the scooby snack drink and it was 10/10. Also very cute in there

Joa Joa is such a hidden gem you could walk right by this place and think it’s just some other Asian restaurant however, when walking in you felt that the immediate experience with the stylish interior design, very modern and clean and also extensive tables with Korean BBQ grills was just an incredible experience. We ordered the bigolgi and Bimbi bop the flavors of which were very developed. Service was excellent with the server always keeping our water full and attending to our needs. At the end of the meal, the owner even came by at the end of the dinner to ask how things were to give us a digestive. It really was a great experience. Can’t wait to come back.

We had a really great and filling dinner at Joa Joa. It’s a hidden gem in the area we were not expecting!
The service was very welcoming and they were accommodating for a large party without reservations.
We ordered the apps of seafood pancake, steamed clams and spicy tuna ball - all really great for sharing.
Also had the Korean bbq - LA Galbi and Pork Belly, both enjoyable and cooked table top by the staff - came with rice and Korean banchan (small side dishes - kimchi, seaweed salad, and potato salad, melted cheesy corn and egg pancake). My favorite was the Seolleongtang (beef bone broth noodle soup) - really savory and hit the spot!
Atmosphere was modern, spacious and clean.
Prices were a little higher than expected but understandable given it’s the only Korean bbq in the vicinity. Would highly recommend and would go back!

I was really excited to give this place a try. We went on a Friday night and it was packed! Definitely make a reservation if you want to go on the weekend. We ordered from the sushi menu but I would love to try the Korean BBQ next time, it looked delicious and authentic. The sushi was excellent and you could tell they use high quality ingredients. I look forward to eating here again!

It's sad that the atmosphere here is way better than the food could hope to be. The quality of the sushi was way below par for the price, let alone the size and shape of the cuts were clearly not done by a seasoned sushi chef. You're honestly better off going to the all you can eat not far from here for the same quality.
The service was a whole other story, servers didn't even know their own menu, we ordered the yukgaejang and the waitress kept mistaking it for chicken teriyaki. I watched another table not even get there menus after they sat down, they had to get up and grab some themselves.
After possibly an honest mistake, I don't really buy into excuses, we had to wait almost 40min for my wife's meal to come out and it was still wrong because they gave use the bone broth and not the spicy broth. Granted we were not charged for that meal, but overall the experience was not pleasant nor was the food. The banchan that came with the yukgaejang was probably some of the worst I've ever had from a Korean establishment.
Overall I have no interest coming back here. The bbq looked decent, but even then I'd rather go to a real Korean bbq joint.
