    Chalk Marker Signage at Joju
    Amy S.

    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.

    #13. Green Eggs and Ham Sandwich

    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.

    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.

    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.....

    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.

    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.

    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!

Queing up to order is fairly straightforward and the large hanging menu makes it easy to figure out what you might like. IMHO, sandwiches are the go-to. You get exactly what you expect and the price point is reasonable. What I would absolutely avoid is breakfast sandwiches. Prices on those is far less reasonable. Overall, you get exactly what you expect here and it's nice to have it as a neighborhood option.

Next visit, which will be my next visit to NYC, I intend to try the roast beef and turkey hero, extra lettuce, tomatoes, onions, hot peppers. Overall, I still rate 5/5. They do a fantastic job here.

So when he mentioned how his burger was the most popular item, I definitely had to give it a shot - $8.75 for a no frills 8oz Angus burger with American cheese, tomato, onion, lettuce (I believe I saw pickle was available, but didn't get it). What I got was the 8oz of meat, but it was on a gorgeous brioche bun, with 2 slices of beefsteak tomato and really fresh lettuce. The red onions were meticulouslu cooked down in garlic butter on his griddle, and the burger patty (100% fresh, by the way) was cooked on grill using wood chip-fueled fire. Like I said, the guy really cares about his food. The meat was cooked to order, and all of the ingredients (bun, produce) were from LOCAL SHOPS freshly delivered every morning, so no unfresh ingredients. He dared me to eat this burger and come back to tell him it's not the best in the area, and I think he has an argument.

I saw they had a Thanksgiving sandwich called the "Gobbler". I asked how long they would have it as even though it's the November special, sometimes places might make it last through the holidays. When asked I was told "it will be available until whenever November ends". This whole interaction made me feel so unwelcome. It didn't look like there was much going on there in the relm of orders, but it still took them a while to make my sandwich. Finally they bring it to the front counter. Pack it in paper and a paper bag and I'm off. I didn't have much time to eat so I scarfed it down in my car before heading down Queens Blvd. It was very good. Not my favorite, but def has potential. I also feel like, though this is a nice sized sandwich, they were a bit stingy this time around. I would say the star was the stuffing. It just tied everything together. As you all know, I love a good sandwich shop. I wish this was as good as it once was to me. Not sure if I'll give it one more shot just yet.
