Avis sur Joju Elmhurst
Consistently amazing. They have unique options to try, a cute atmosphere, and generally affordable. I have had the kimchi Bamhi several times, never disappoints.
I have been coming here for few years now and they never disappoint me! First of all the food is always delicious and always consistent! (Best french friesI I have ever had) Second of all cannot stress about their customer service! Always smiling, quick and today even though my reward card was expired I still got my free sandwich. Next time I will try their bowl. Update I used my reward today and food and drink were as good as always.
Come for the banh mi, stay for the kimchi or banh mi fries. Just FYI: the fries are in a meal itself. Well, I just finished the kimchi fries with the egg added, and I’m stuffed. The lemongrass chicken banh mi is my favorite. The veggies are crunchy and nicely pickled, which is important to me. Since this is a modern Vietnamese banh mi place, prices are higher... but you get what you pay for. Portions are definitely generous. I also recommend signing up for their loyalty program. There’s metered street parking… and residential parking which may be difficult to find depending on the day you go. There’s a handicap accessible bathroom, but narrow hallway to get there.
A coworker put me on to Joju 4 years ago and to this day, they are still one of my favorite local spots. Their service is always quick and on point, they don't mess up orders and are respectful of special requests. The flavors are amazing and they thankfully put a good amount of meat in their sandwiches and bowls (my pet peeve is restaurants slacking on their meat portion while inflating prices). My favorite is the Lemongrass Chicken Bowl, and Lemon Thai tea. Chicken is super juicy!! Thank you JoJu!! Please don’t ever change
We weren’t even hungry when we stopped in on a Saturday at around 2:30 pm. We just happened to be in the area and I’ve been wanting to try this for a while, so we decided to pop in. There were a lot of people ordering food for takeout the whole time we were there, even at such a weird meal hour. That’s gotta be saying something. Orders take about 15 minutes so I’d recommend ordering ahead if you can. If we hadn’t eaten lunch two hours ago, my husband and I would have ordered a lot more. Instead, we shared the Joju fries (JoJu’s banh mi inspired fries, topped with spicy mayo, spicy green sauce, pickled daikon & carrots, and fresh cilantro) and the JoJu banh mi (classic Vietnamese ham, headcheese, pâté spread & BBQ Pork). The fries themselves were amazing. It’s coated in batter (?) and double fried, which is the type of fries I like because the batter makes it extra crispy and flavorful. However, all the toppings on top of eating a banh mi was a bit too much. If I was just eating the fries, I would probably add meat + a runny egg. But eating it with a banh mi, I would have preferred the fries plain (with a side of their spicy green sauce, which is crack. Also appreciate that they don’t charge extra for dipping sauces). The banh mi could be one of the better banh mis I’ve had in my life. It’s stuffed with ingredients and I don’t just mean they’ve filled it with veggies. They are super generous with the meat. The bread is also toasted perfectly. For drinks, I had the Vietnamese iced coffee, which was perfect. Not too sweet and not too bitter. It was the perfect pick me up. Husband had the taro milkshake with tapioca, which was too sweet for me but he liked it. I’m not sure when I’ll be back since this location is far from me but I’m looking forward to trying their more conveniently located Midtown location. There are still so many menu items I need to eat/drink!
The smell when you walk in teleports you into another world. Being brought by a friend, I didn't expect much from a sandwhich shop, but don't let the simplicity fool you. The menu was simple in a good way. Easy to read and self guiding, I was able to grasp an understanding of the many different bahn mi variations. As it was my first time, I ordered the original bahn mi, and when I took my first bite, I was blown away. The crisp and vinegry radish/carrot topping combined with the meat and headcheese was hugged in a perfectly baked baguette. The roll was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. All the ingredients merged together into a harmony of textures and flavors. Nothing was overpowering as it seemed like the sandwhich was tested to perfection. Small pieces of jalapenos kept me on the edge of my seat as I finished my bahn mi very quickly. Between my friend and I, we shared the bahn mi fries. The light radish/carrot toppings that are featured on the bahn mi was generously added on top of the crisp fries. The saltiness of the fries were counterbalanced by the vinegry "salad" and the creamy siracha mayo took the fries to the next level. Combining all the flavors, these fries were like nothing I had before. A perfect combination similar to the original bahn mi, but with a slight spicy twist. Both items I tasted were top quality. After that day, I spent the next few weeks trying the many other takes on the bahn mi. If you're looking for a sweet bahn mi with a strong flavor, i recommend the bulgogi bahn mi. Maybe a flavor that your more used to? I personally like the lemon grass chicken bahn mi. The chicken flavor we all know and love combined with the many toppings that come with the sandwhich. For the best experience, i recommend adding the green bomb sauce. I find it to give the bahn mi a little kick that makes you wanting another bite. However, the extra jalapenos they add along with the green bomb sauce caused some issues with some of my friends. But, if you're a spice head, green bomb is the way to go on all the bahn mis. My personal recommendation: The Hot Chick Bahn Mi.
Great sandwich, the bulgogi one was very good and the amount was enough to get me full for a while. The raddish vegetables and the meat was delicious!
Solid place for banh mi. I usually get the bulgogi or the BBQ pork. And their loaded fries are awesome too. Good rice bowl options and make sure to add spring rolls. They used to be way better with their bread though back when they first open, especially when you could request bread toast level.
I have been on the hunt just trying out bahn mi sandwiches all over Queens. Joju did not disappoint. It is pricey for what I ordered for myself, which included a sandwich, fries, and a drink or two. Let’s start with the sandwich. I ordered the classic and bbq pork with runny egg on top but they didn’t hear me correctly I guess. Damn you, Covid and masks! The sandwich wasn’t bad though. It was loaded with a lot of shredded and pickled carrots. Of all the places I have tried bahn mi sandwiches, adding an egg was never an option but something highly recommended by the restaurant and fellow clients so I decided to try it. I think that if an egg is ever an option at other places to add to a bahn mi sandwich, I will add that option. It doesn’t change the flavor but having that slight runny egg (if you like runny eggs) made it more delectable. The bahn mi fries - it might be the best loaded fries I have ever tried. Again, it was a lot of shredded and pickled carrots, which covered the green sauce on top of the fries. The French fries by itself is good and crunchy already, but when eaten with the sauce, it tastes better. I wanted to try a mojito (no alcohol) and asked the cashier which one comes highly recommended. One of them was the lemon ginger. Seltzer water with syrup, lemon, and mint is not a bad mixture at all. In fact, I would go back to try other options with the correct sandwich I ordered. The Thai iced tea is a little on the sweeter side but I can pass on it as other viet places sell the same thing. I recommend checking this place out. If not the sandwich, try the fries. I may also try the bowls next time as well.
My go to place a reasonable priced vietnamese sandwich and fries. I like their fresh tops and flavor. Lemongrass chicken and joju fries and bbq pork are my favorites. The quick and cordial. It gets really busy at lunch, about a little over 5 minute wait; lots of people preorder in to pickup. It filling and quick and they dont skimp like some places. Good ratio of bread to filling. The green sauce is medium spicy. I like adding an egg to nearly everything.
To go place in Elmhurst for some Bah Mi I personally rarely stay in store as there are limited seatings. I prefer ordering for pick up. You can order through their app or thought Google. But order online DOES NOT give you the option to pay in cash. Must pay with a car. I personally love the Joju fries over the Kimichi fries. The Joju fries gives off a more flavorful taste with their mixture of dakion carrots, jalapenos, green sauce and spicy mayo while the kimichi fries is just spicy. The joju fries has different levels of spicy and sweet. Recommend adding a runny egg on top of any fries and sandwiches. Runny eggs added another level of flavor and texture. I always get their caramelized pork sandwich with a runny egg. Must reccomend the durian milkshake. Durian milkshake is a seasonable flavor. As I personally not a big fan, I must say, the milkshake uses real durian and its smooth and creamy. The smell is quite strong and it lingers but it's worth it. Joju does a stamp card system, one stamp for every $10 spent. Restroom is located in the back right. Restroom is clean but kinda small. They rarely have paper menus available.
If you're looking for a banh mi in Elmhurst, look no further and come to Joju. A little pricier then usual for a banh mi but you get what you pay for in terms of options and toppings. The beef bulgogi banh mi was good but a little oily, flavor was there and it was pretty good bite after bite. The other banh mi we tried was the Kakuni pork belly and that was good but the crispy skin and the size of the pork belly were a little tough with each bite. We also tried the banh mi styled fries and although the fries itself were good, the topping of the radish and carrot made the fries a little soggy in some areas. The space is small yet comfortable with a few (about five) tables. Overall we lived our experience and will definitely be back for more.
I stop by JoJu every time I'm in the Elmhurst area. I usually order my sandwiches non toasted if I get take out. If I'm dining in, definitely get their fries. My favorite is the Banh Mi fries. Tried all three of their popular items, and my favorite is their original #1. The "Classic JoJu". It be on that beat. 🤙🎶
I’ve been ordering from Joju for over 5 years and it has been generally pretty good. I never expect restaurants to always make 10/10 food, but I do draw the line at food poisoning. I ordered here recently and the food tasted really off. Lo and behold the next day I was constantly on the toilet and puking for its whole entirety.
Keepin it real in Elmhurst I want to root for this place so bad cause they had the best banh mi for me growing up, and the fries, everything hit. Lately just not the same after franchising. I didn't believe it at first, but after trying it twice in recent times, it's just not the same anymore. The boba is powdery and not great..... I would try it again, really want to like this place.....
Not bad but I also wouldn’t say it was amazing. When I came in, they were doing iron work with very loud noise and a lot of construction. I understand not closing in fear of loss of money for the day but that was just crazy. The food was a bit pricy as I didn’t find it to be out of this world. The kimchi fries were good but over had better at KuKu. The coffee milkshake was also just okay. The stars of my meal were the spicy chicken bah mi and the boba in the coffee milkshake. The boba was defiantly made well and had great texture. I would recommend this place for just a sandwich and a boba drink. A decent place overall but I would only be back out of convenience and not need.
