I stopped by to order their banh mi fries and Vietnamese iced coffee since it has been some time since my last visit. Their banh mi inspired double-fried fries really are amazing and substantial with the pickled daikon radish & carrot topping with spicy mayo, green sauce garnished with cilantro! Good thing I customized my order so that the jalapeño peppers were on the side. The Vietnamese iced coffee is also good. It is heartening to find that technology propels business success from the computerized loyalty program, self-checkout kiosk to the option of following Joju on social media and leaving a Yelp review. Having been a loyal customer for more than ten years, I would say that the Joju banh mi inspired fries, sandwiches and bowls have a unique twist. A nice casual eatery to visit with friends who would like to try Joju's version of the classic fries, sandwiches and rice bowls. They also have a refreshing variety of drinks to pick from. The associates are helpful.
Chose a close by spot for delivery. This one had high ratings so I gave it a shot. I go the joju monster banh mi. Bread was crispy with a nice chew. But there was way way too much carrot and daikon. But overall good banh mi. The crunchy monster spring roll was very crispy but not lots of filling, mostly the spring roll wrapper. The veggie rolls were crispy but it like got no seasoning and def needed sauce. The lemongrass chicken bowl was decent but the chicken tasted a little old and microwaved but you can taste the lemongrass. I'd order just the banh mi next time. They have a big selection to choose from.
I ordered the green eggs and ham banh mi and the kimchi fries. I really enjoyed my sandwich, it was flavorful and well balanced and just a little spicy. The bread was high quality. The fries were pretty good also. The big scoop of kimichi on top is cold, which makes the whole thing cold very fast, but the fries are fried up extra extra crispy in order to compensate. I was impressed that they were able to maintain a crunch despite all the wet, cold toppings. Great spot for a quick lunch. You order on a touch screen and the restaurant is clean.
I use to order here all the time but have not stop by in a while. During my latest visit, I ordered the Caramelized pork sandwich. The sandwich was fresh and delicious. I know they have bowls but never had a chance to try them so will try the next time. It also been a while because they no longer stamp my card for visits but track via phone number.
Great place for quick, delicious and nutritious food! My favorite is the Ginger Seiten.My family loves the banh mi with beef bulgogi. The Vietnamese coffee can wake you from your sleep. The lychee chillers are refreshingly and restorative good! Great service. Clean seating area. You can order from a person or tablet/kiosk. I've been here about 10 times and will continue to return! The green sauce is amazing!
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.....
Fast and really tasty... the green spicy sauce was great to put on top and the lemongrass chicken was flavorful with all the veggies and brown rice! Great healthy option.
Simple menu but they execute each dish well! This place is a casual Vietnamese restaurant where you can pick and choose your protein of choice and whether you want it in a rice bowl, vermicelli, or as a banh mi. The sides are your typical pickled daikon/carrots, lettuce, and cucumber. You do have the option to add egg for extra $$. The banh mi here is not to be missed. I like how they automatically cut it in half and in two separate bags. You can easily make that two meals if you don't eat a lot.
Food: The banh mi here are very tasty and fresh. We ordered the classic and the caramelized pork. Both were very flavorful and delicious. I would order both of them again. The sandwiches are packed with meat and pickled carrots and radish. The bread is also very fresh and soft. Overall, these were excellent sandwiches and great quality. The spring rolls are also very good and I would highly recommend them. The menu also includes bowls, fries, appetizers, and various types of drinks. Service: Staff were friendly and nice. This is a very casual spot where you order your food and find a table to eat at so there isn't much service. Ambiance: The place is small, but has a good number of tables that you can eat at after ordering and paying for your food. There are about five small tables in the place. Overall, I would highly recommend this spot!
Vietnamese sandwiches must add a runny egg. Monster Spring roll , get as many sauces. Do you want to dip with. and the beef bulgogi sandwich. They were all very good. I would've given them a Fourstar Unfortunately the person takes. the order is very rude.
I've been to the JoJu at Tangram before, but somehow, I've never made it to their Elmhurst spot - despite the fact that I live closer to this location! How did I miss this gem after all these years? This Elmhurst location is their main one (I think?), and it has more options, which is always a win. I tried the Monster JoJu and their loaded kimchi fries with a runny egg. * Monster JoJu ($9.49) This banh mi lived up to its name - it was huge! My sisters devoured it and gave it a solid 4.5 stars for its juicy goodness. I didn't get a bite, but I'll take their word for it. * Loaded Kimchi Fries with Runny Egg ($6.98) Now, I had high hopes for these fries, but sadly, the egg wasn't runny at all. It just sat there, very much... not running. But, despite that minor letdown, the fries were still delicious. The portions were generous - way more than what I've gotten at the Tangram location - so that definitely made up for it. I'll give these fries a 4/5. Service here was quick and efficient. While there wasn't anyone dining in, there were people coming in for takeout, which kept the place bustling. Overall, I'd give this spot a 4/5, and I'm sure I'll be back.
Craving some banh mi, we dropped by Joju for some take out banh mi. We ordered ahead of time which made pick up a breeze. Our group loved the fact that they had a vegan option on their menu which was really good. The caramel pork banh mi was delicious. Their fries were super fresh and crispy. I'll be definitely back to try some of the other options, but a great modern banh mi shop!
Service wasn't super quick during my visit unfortunately, but it should've been quick if it wasn't for the lady in line in front of me. Ordered the Joju Monster. The banh mi itself was good! I was surprised to see how loaded it was with meat and veggies. It was a little too much shredded carrots for me, but I liked how thinly shredded they were. The bread felt a little more dense than what I prefer - not as fluffy, but it probably held the ingredients in better. Ordered the fried egg runny, and boy, was it runny. The whites were nice and soft and my fiance and I enjoyed the banh mi overall.
It's been so long--almost 10 years--since I last visited JoJu and tried their food. And guess what? It still tastes just as good as I remembered! Same old location in the heart of Elmhurst, same old interior, and many of the same menu items. I think the only major addition is their rice bowl section. I was on my way to JFK and wanted to grab dinner to go, so I placed my order through their website. The ordering process was super easy. By the time I got through TSA and found a place to sit down and eat, a few hours had already passed, so the rice had cooled down quite a bit. But even then, everything still tasted just like I remembered--and even the rice was delicious! Can you imagine being surrounded by people lining up for overpriced airport food at JFK, while you're sitting there with a bowl of delicious JoJu goodness in front of you? Definitely worth bringing it through security! For sure, JoJu is a must-visit foodie stop whenever you're in New York. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town! read more

I absolutely love this place so much!! I came for a quick dinner bite with my friend and the dishes were mouthwatering. It was my first time trying authentic Vietnamese sandwiches and they were delicious. We got the Beef Bulgogi and Lemongrass Chicken (Beef Bulgogi was my fav) but both were so rich. Of course we had to get their Kimchi Fries which are what dreams are actually made of. Service was great. There are multiple locations but if you're around Elmhurst, Queens definitely check it out if you have the chance. You won't be disappointed! One of my favorite obsessions right now. read more

This place is still very popular and has a great variety of banh mi sandwiches and bowls. They also have a great variety of drinks to try out, alcohol drinks included. One thing to note is that the Yelp check in of a free fried egg on your sandwich is no longer valid. Definitely am noticing a little bit that the ingredients in their bowls has reduced a bit since the last time I had ordered about a year ago. Staff is super nice and patient. read more
Growing up in the area, I've always loved coming to Joju! During this visit, I got the Strawberry Lychee Green Tea Infusion and the Joju Fries. I came in on a Monday afternoon, so the restaurant was pretty empty, but I was pleasantly surprised to see how many people were coming in and out to pick up orders. The service was also incredibly fast and attentive. One of the servers noticed she gave me the wrong straw so she came over and kindly gave me the right one. The Strawberry Lychee Green Tea Infusion was incredibly refreshing and not overly sweet. It was perfect for beating the sweltering summer heat. The fries are always perfectly crispy yet soft inside. Over the years, I've found that the banh mis aren't for me because of how sweet the carrots are, but with the Joju Fries, the savoriness of the spicy mayo and kick of the jalapeños make it so that the carrots add the perfect balance to the meal. The added runny egg just helps tie all the flavors together! Always a go-to and a top recommendation for anyone who comes into the area. read more
My first brought me here back in 2018 when we were dating. Always loved this place. The bahn mi is always delicious. I always love the lemon grass chicken. They have an automated kiosk now which makes things quicker and easier. You can customize your order and have certain sauces on the side. The workers are friendly and always helpful. Food is made quick and to your order. Great place to grab a bite or just to sit and enjoy the kimchi fries. Nice quaint little spot in elmhurst. I wish there was a spot in Brooklyn. I would absolutely go crazy if there was. read more

First time here. Outstanding sandwiches! Beef Bulgogi Sandwich was killer. Def get the egg runny. $15 for a huge sandwich. I could only ate half. Giving it only 4 stars cause the place is dingy and they only have one kiosk to place your order. I don't think they take cash. Service was quick. read more
Joju has always been one of my favorite places to go to for Banh Mi. I haven't been here in years, but my husband and I were in the area so we decided to go here for lunch. Coming back here brings back highschool memories of when my friends and I would run here after school. I'm so glad to see that they're doing well, and the food is still oh so good. It's a small restaurant, perf for a grab n' go, but it's also nice to pop on a seat inside. They also have a self order kiosk. We ordered the lemongrass chicken banh mi and kim chi fries. Super delicious sandwiches, yummy crunchy fries, the vegetables are fresh, and we opted for sauces on the side, if spicy isn't your thang. I also got a viet iced coffee which was so good and refreshing, and not too sweet. Can't wait to come back again. I'd commute all the way from Brooklyn to come here any day. read more

Thank you so much for your review Jane! Also, thank you for…
I'm still a big fan of JoJu and try to get there every few months. Within the past year, they did a little updating making the seating more sleek and modern. They even have a rewards points system now. Just like everywhere, prices have increased, but the quality is still there. My favorites continue to be the Beef Bulgogi, BBQ Pork and the Hot Chick. Not to mention their delicious Vietnamese Coffee. Joju always hits the spot and never disappoints. read more
I asked my Elmhurst local friend what his top recommendations for delicious eats in the area, and Joju was his first. That was a good sign, and I'm glad Joju lived up to its reputation. I didn't realise it was a chain until I entered the name into Google Maps and realised that there were a few other branches in Flushing and Chinatown -- another good sign. If it's an Asian franchise that can survive in busy Chinese populations, then it's probably stellar. I came on an unassuming Saturday evening about 15 minutes before closing, past dusk. They had already started cleaning and sweeping, but the staff were still friendly and the sandwich was still speedily made. Their bathroom in the back was also pretty clean after my long bike ride out. There were a lot of options that seemed good, and their advertised "Modern Vietnamese Banh Mi" was true to its name. At a fair price, I decided to go for the Bulgogi sandwich and had no regrets while I was waiting on the train platform for the long ride home. The bulgogi banh mi was a combination I never knew I needed, and I feel cheated that 32 years of my life were devoid of this treat. I love bulgogi so much, I would have it in anything (ex. I had to try the bulgogi burger in Seoul when I visited years back). What would you not like? Thin fatty slices of beef marinaded in that delicious sweet soy wedged between a toasted french bun with pickled veggies and cilantro to balance it out. A perfect marriage of two classics. I love it so much, I can't wait to have it again. read more

Ever since Joju came out with their Joju bowls, I've been obsessed with them. If I could eat them everyday, I would be in foodie bliss. That's how much I love them. The crunchy monster spring rolls are so crunchy and yummy, we usually get a large order which comes with 4 spring rolls. My mouth waters even thinking about them, the spring rolls usually disappear first. The soy-garlic glaze chicken wings come 4 in a box and are best devoured still hot. However, I'm glad to say they are still crunchy even after they've cooled down. I love the delicious soy-garlic glaze on it, your tastebuds will crave it even after you've finished the wings. As for the classic sandwich, it definitely lives up to its name every time I eat it. From the runny egg to the shredded carrot to the pâté, my taste buds thank me while I enjoy the nostalgic memories brought back by this classic. It will always be one of my favorites. Last but not least, the beef bulgogi bowl is like comfort food to my soul. It reminds me of home cooked meals with my mom, of homemade dinner parties I was lucky enough to be invited to growing up, it brings me back home where homemade meals were everyday and you knew you were loved as you are. Every trip to Joju is like an emotional adventure! I can always count on Joju to maintain their quality and taste of every menu item. Cheers to Joju for being one of my fav go-to places for dinner take-out! read more

A small place in the heart of Elmhurst. This place was highly recommended and they weren't wrong. The sandwiches are delicious. I had the number 20 loaded lemon grass chicken. It's probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. It's the size of a foot long sandwich. I had to eat it in 2 sittings. Restaurant is very small. You can sit down and eat but not with many people. The service was very fast. They probably made my sandwich in under 10 mins. I'll definitely come back again. read more
Update: still a great spot for a quick meal. Try out the ginger seitan (made from gluten/wheat) bites for a yummy vegetarian option. Ordered take out today and for some reason I got apple sauce (apple sauce smell, taste, and goopy texture) instead of fish sauce, but I assume that was an honest mistake. I've gotten food from here multiple times and I've never had any issues before. Also the kimchi fries were super salty, but they are normally really good. I guess it was an off day. read more

Used to go there very often in the past . They are one of the best viet sandwhich in the neighborhood if not the best . I love how they make their eggs so that's why I always add the egg in my sandwich . I still go there from time to time. read more
The Joju Banh mi fries are fire. House sauce is made with pork so if you're vegetarian or a halal eater, make sure to ask for it sans that. Kimchi fries also good but Joju fries are the BEST of the best. They are both generally very similar because they both have green onions but otherwise the bánh mì ones have green sauce lol. The happy hour deal is great. The mini fries are maybe half the size of a full order of regular fries so definitely a good deal. Staff are really nice and there's maybe four tables with one table against the storefront glass with about three or four seats. read more
Started perusing some places for a mid afternoon lunch/dinner and came across JoJu and started reading the reviews. 1800+ reviews, 4.5 stars for Vietnamese food = no brainer. So many excellent choice is to choose from, couldn't quite decide which sandwich to try so I went with the Vietnamese Caramel Pork Sandwich. Winner, winner, pork dinner... (lunch). It's hard to describe the unique and delicious flavors emanating out of this sandwich. There was the savory pork side of it combined with the tangy slaw side of it making each bite equally intriguing. This has got to be one of their popular sandwiches. The tall, toasty warm brioche bread is the perfect placeholder for this fantastic sandwich. read more

Best banh mi in NYC, fight me. The vegetarian one with mock ham slaps. All the toppings are perfectly balanced and mouth-wateringly good: sweet shredded lightly pickled carrots, spicy jalapeno, runny fried egg, a selection of tasty sauces... you can't go wrong with any option. read more

Order at the counter top for some fast casual and delicious Vietnamese classics. The fries were out of this world!! They were super crunchy and the toppings provided another level of umpft. Definitely would recommend and come back again. read more
