I heard great things about this joint from classmates before. My first exposure was through catering for a college event, and I wasn't a fan of the taste. I decided to give it a second try upon stopping by the Tangram Food Court as a lunch option. The banh mis were a whopping $10-$12 range each. But at least the sandwiches were gigantic. I fell in to the heart next to the Beef Bulgogi ($13) and ordered that. The bread itself is very pillowy, although not toasted, but at least it's not hurting the roof of your mouth. I think I let the heart get to me more than my actual want for bulgogi, because I wasn't a fan of the mushy sweet texture. The modern fusion was a good idea, but it didn't work for me. The kimchi also wasn't spicy or strong at all. There's spicy mayo sauce added in, but nothing about this sando was spicy. Of course, we had to try the Classic ($10) and as you can see from the photos, there is a disproportion of ingredients to bread ratio, especially when compared to the more expensive Bulgogi option. It had me noticing right away the Joju banh mi, which came with the additional BBQ pork, seemed more of the ideal choice for more flavor, and the actual classic option #1 you see at most Viet banh mi spots. Something about these banh mis is missing that spark to them. They're fresh but the flavor felt lackluster. Maybe it's the lack of crustiness in bread for me or minimal sauce. Especially for its value, the meal was overall very passable read more

The food here was average.it had Vietnamese flavors but was not close to what real Vietnamese should be. I would not recommend this place if you're looking for authentic Vietnamese banh mi. read more

Quick service, and it wasn't too crowded since we went around 6 PM on a weekday. We got the Joju (BBQ pork & sweet and savory Vietnamese caramel pork). I got a medium fried egg as an extra but kind of wished I had gotten it runny because the rice was a bit dry. read more

The banh mi at this new location tastes just as good as their original location- what more can you ask for? We ordered the Joju Monster which has a variety of meats including ham, Viet sausage, pate- and a runny egg. YUM! We also appreciated the quick service! read more

Was so happy to stop through the food hall to find this gem. We tried the banh mi fries and it didn't disappoint! Loved all of the different dressings that remind you of a Vietnamese banh mi! We ordered one helping to share with 5 people, definitely not enough. Would recommend 1 serving for 2, max, because you will inhale it. Definitely a great spot to stop through with so many options around! read more

I'm a big fan of Joju especially its original location in Elmhurst which has the most selection of food and bubble tea. I've also been to their Manhattan location near Bryant Park. However, I was in Tangram mall recently and there is a small location of it in the food court. I ordered the Joju monster (Vietnamese ham, headcheese, pâté spread & BBQ pork with runny egg) and the crispy chicken wings. I've never had the wings before. The chicken wings were crispy and surprisingly not greasy. I also requested spicy mayo to dip the wings which gave it a good kick. The sandwich is totally shareable which is pretty hefty in size. The Joju monster sandwich was really good and packed with stuff just like I've had at the other locations. Service was friendly and fast. I'll definitely be back! read more

JoJu holds a special place in my heart with their handcrafted Vietnamese sandwiches, specialty fries, and house-made aji verde; and, recently, I had been clamoring incessantly for JoJu, so much that my partner finally relented. While the classic Vietnamese bánh mì is typically made with pork and pate, JoJu offers a modern twist to their sandwiches, using an assortment of meats like Korean beef bulgogi, lemongrass chicken, and Japanese kakuni, alongside sauces like aji verde and spicy mayo. Of course, their sandwiches also come with the usual pickled carrots and daikon (which I especially love!), as well as cucumbers and cilantro. I've tried both the Beef Bulgogi and Lemongrass Chicken, and honestly, both are delicious, each with their own merits. The beef bulgogi is sweet and savory, perfectly combining thinly sliced beef with flavorful marinade, while the lemongrass chicken is bright, vibrant, tender, and aromatic. The JoJu Banh Mi Fries are amazing as well but prepare your jaw for a serious workout (they're not kidding when they say double-fried fries!). The service falls on the slower end, but if you don't mind the wait, definitely stop by! 10/10 recommend! read more

Joju was really good! I really liked their banh mi sandwich. I liked how they also had vegetarian options for the sandwich. I got their tofu banh mi and it was really good. The sandwich had a gingery/carrot taste to it and the sandwich tasted really fresh. Also the sandwich was a good price for the portion. The sandwich filled me up and was a decent size. The sandwich also didn't take long to come. I waited around 10 minutes for the food to come. Joju also doesn't just have sandwiches, they also serve french fries and drinks as well. Price: $10.88 Rating: 8.5/10 read more

I've been meaning to try Joju ever since my sister recommended it to me. When I first saw Joju at the Tangram food court, I was excited to come back to try it, so I finally did. You can either order at the kiosk or with the cashier and I opted for the kiosk to look through the options. I ended up choosing the beef bulgogi sandwich and ordered two spicy green sauce and one spicy mayo on the side. The service was really quick and I got my sandwich within a few minutes. The first few bites were delicious, especially with the spicy green sauce. The banh mi was good, but felt like it was missing a bit of depth and I felt really greasy after eating half the sandwich. By that point, the grease had seeped through the parchment paper they had placed in the box and outside of the box started showing grease spots. I wonder if this is a one-off and perhaps I'll give it another go since the sandwich otherwise was yummy. read more

I'm here on Wednesday afternoon and the food court at Tangram is fairly quiet. With only a person ahead I was able to quickly place my order. The service was friendly and fast. I decided to order the 4-count crunchy monster spring rolls with sweet & sour sauce and a Joju bowl. In less than 10 minutes my food came and I found a nearby table in the food court. The spring rolls were crunchy, full of pork and flavor. Dipped in the sauce is a winning combo. The bowl was simple with two types of pork, marinated carrots/radish, Kimchi and marinated onions over rice. Lots of flavor and filling. I was hungry that I forgot to take the pictures. Definitely would come back. read more

Excited to see a Joju open up at the back of the Tangram food court! The line was looong and rightfully so. The portions are huge and food is made quickly (though there seemed to be a bit of an argument with the man ahead who was given his fries much after others who had offered after him). I got the caramelized pork which was packed with filling and flavor. It was pretty sweet, and would have used a bit more pickled vegetables to balance the taste, but was def a good bang for your buck. The entire sandwich was enough to feed two people and was bursting with filling. There's no designated seating area for Joju, so feel free to grab any empty chairs nearby to enjoy your meal! read more

Helpful tip: it can take a while. Went at 2 and waited 30+ min. Def don't expect it to take fast even though it's in a food court. Review: I thought it was very bland. There was not much flavor and was more just a salty umami taste. The portion is fine I just did not feel like there was enough flavor. I definitely would like to try their sandwich but I overheard the person next to me say the same thing that it was bland. Price-flavors value is not really worth it. read more

JoJu - Tangram - The Joju Bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Flushing, New York

By far the best banh mi I've had!! The carrots and radish are sooooo fresh and perfect fermentation sour. The bread they used was perfectly crispy on the outside but still fluffy on the inside. The only reason why I have a 4 star is because they don't use the real banh mi base smooth spread and only use a mayo mix. This made the banh mi miss the umami flavor but overall best banh mi!! read more

JoJu - Tangram - Original banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Flushing, New York

I came here because for the first time, there was only one group in queue, so I wanted to try their Banh Mi. I saw they offered two versions, so I got both below. CLASSIC slices of Vietnamese ham, headcheese with pâté & pork house sauce THE (JOJU) classic Vietnamese ham, headcheese, pâté spread & BBQ Pork I prefer the Classic over the Joju and I want to say so far this is the best version of Banh Mi Dac Biet, since I had versions with no headcheese, but with ground pork or beef and that's not Banh Mi Dac Biet. I miss Houston's Banh Mi, and so I definitely want to try more of their stuff and hopefully I get lucky and no line. read more

They say you eat with your eyes first and with Joju, this was very true. My lemongrass chicken bahn mi topped with vibrant, orange pickled carrots was perfect. It started off with great bread that held the chicken, cilantro and jalapeños together. It was sliced perfectly and visually appealing. I almost hated to disturb the carrots but I had to dig in. A great sandwich and I would definitely drop by when I am in the neighborhood. read more

I have been looking forward to the opening of Joju inside Tangram because I used to go to Elmhurst to get their delicious bahn mi sandwiches. I ordered the classic and mango lychee mojito, but I also really enjoyed the BBQ pork. They provide a good amount of carrots, radish slaw, and meat in the sandwich, so you can get a bit of everything in each bite. The drink was refreshing and paired well. I will definitely be back to order more of the menu. read more

I love how they've opened one in Flushing! Now I don't need to make the long trip to Elmhurst haha. I didn't get a sandwich this time, I was just craving fries and wanted to try other things in the food court. (Btw it's located in the tangram food court on the second floor, lots of great things already open and going to have more things opening in the future. I would recommend checking the mall out, lots of things to do) So I got the Joju fries with added beef bulgogi on top and it hit the spot. It was so good, the spicy mayo the green sauce, cut with the pickled daikon. Just a great little snack to share! read more

Food is always amazing here with ~$9-12 for a banh mi. My go to is their caramelized pork and classic, love the pate. They also offer fries with customizable toppings, wings, and more. Workers are nice and typically don't need to wait long for the food. It's inside the food court of tangram mall with a good amount of seating and neon light decors. Nice vibe there with good food. read more

Got my order wrong.... Ordered the classic bahn mi and the seitan bahn mi from Joju, however they messed up my order and gave me two of the classics. This was extremely disappointing. The classic sandwich isn't anything special. It's a bit overpriced and there are better bahn mi sandwiches. I'd still like to try the seitan sandwich. The food court where Joju is located is very nice, but there's limited seating. read more

Reasonably price, yummy food inside Tangram mall! It was pretty busy when I came here but the staff were working hard to take and fulfil orders quickly. I ordered the Sweet Joju which contains Viet ham, headcheese pate, and caramel pork, as well as the Mango Lychee Mojito. I got my food maybe 10mins after ordering which was pretty fast considering how busy they were! The Bahn Mi was really delicious and filling but don't skip out on the drinks! The mango lychee mojito was so refreshing that it's a must in the hot weather. I'll definitely be back! read more

Growing up in Elmhurst, I've had my fair share of bahn mi from the original Joju location. This new spot in the Tangram food court is convenient but didn't taste as great as the original. I ordered the lemongrass chicken bahn mi spicy with a medium fried egg. It was smaller than usual and didn't have enough sauce. Overall it was a decent sandwich and I would go back if I need a quick fix, but the original Elmhurst location is still my go to. read more

Definitely check out JOJU in the food court of Tangram! The banh mi fries were delicious! We added caramelized pork to the fries to give that extra OOMF and it sure did the job! There did seem to be a limit on chairs and seats as the food court was quite busy, so if possible, please do claim a table ASAP before ordering, unless you're all for the walking and munching! read more

JoJu - Tangram - Banh Mi fries with meat - Vietnamese Near Me - Flushing, New York

We've been fans of JoJu since they first opened in Elmhurst. Fast forward a decade plus later and here we are at their fourth location. On a normal weekend, they are one of the busiest stands in the food court. But they keep that line moving efficiently and smoothly. This time we stopped by for their grand opening. It's nice they have a cashier on hand and also a kiosk. Line keeps flowing and the food keeps coming. You can't go wrong with the classic, lemongrass chicken or bulgogi banh mi. This location serves some of their their most popular items. So you can also get the fried chicken wings (incredible) and their JoJu fries (the original before other restauranteurs picked up on this). Added a mango mojito (it's caffeine and liquor free) and a Vietnamese iced coffee. Grabbed a seat by the sunlit tables and enjoyed our meal. A very family-friendly meal as the kids eat fast and leave satisfied. We got the plain chicken wings and it's amazing. Haven't had these in a while and forgot how good it was. The batter is light yet delightful, skin is crunchy, meat is filling and the chicken wing itself is a good size. It stays crunchy after sitting out for a while, too. Kids devoured this. Beverages are refreshing. The Vietnamese iced coffee was so good with the sandwiches. Extremely fragrant, condensed milk was mixed well and thoroughly, and each sip was a nice punch of flavor. They don't skimp on ingredients nor taste so it's well worth pairing a drink with your meal. It's nice to have JoJu as an option at Tangram's food court and offers another variety of Asian cuisine. Love the food packaging with the boxes and the paper shopping bag. Everything fits perfectly. Great food, freshly made, quick service which makes for a pleasant experience. read more

With Flushing having no good bahn mi places-, I was so glad Joju finally made it here. I've tried their Classic bahn mi and their Sweet Joju Bahn mi several times, both at the Elmhurst location and Flushing location. Their quite good and it does satisfy my immediate bahn mi craving, but I do wish their baguette was a bit toastier and crunchier. Their bahn mi is just missing something, although I'm not sure what it is... Joju is definitely one of the most popular stalls located inside Tangram, and they do have a very loyal following. I've mostly ordered online through their QR code, so I don't have to wait too long, but even then, it's usually an extra 5-10 minute wait from the time that they gave me. It's usually very crowded so I do suggest ordering ahead via their website. read more

Great place. I recommend the classic and the caramel pork. Or the Sweet Joju if you want both on the same sandwich. They do load up the sandwiches with vegetables but I'm not complaining. Should not skip their spring rolls either. They're thin, but long and pretty substantial. read more

As an American Born Chinese, I am so thrilled and PROUD to see a fellow ABC business owner prosper and grow! Joju is a historic Vietnamese Sandwich spot that intertwines the heritage of the viet Sandwich and mixes it with the NYC cultural upbringing of its owners. To me, joju is what it taste like to be an Asian American from Queens. The medley of sandwiches affords a different Experience from Vietnamese-French to Korean, Japanese, Chinese and American influences. My personal fav is the Joju Monster sandwich! Satisfies your meat eaters cravings! Yummy! Since it's debut from 2011 to now, they have busted their chops and have successfully branched out to 4 locations in nyc. I look forward to where they go in the next 100 years! Love you guys- long live and love to JOJU!!!! Love it or dump it! Most definitely love it! They are a dynasty! read more

I have never had a banh mi like this before! Absolutely iconic let me tell you. I ordered the bulgogi banh mi and added jalapenos and spicy mayo. The bulgogi was perfectly seasoned and shaved. The flavors worked so perfectly together! I loved how the banh mi was packaged too in the bright green box. I do wish that it was a bit spicier but it was still very, very good. Bread was very fluffy and wasn't too big so it's perfect for lunch. Definitely a must try if you're in Flushing/Tangram Mall! read more

i had heard about joju in elmhurst for a while now for having the best banh mis, so i was super excited to try this spot out! other reviews have noted that joju is one of the more popular stalls in the tangram food court, and i'd agree. the line does go by pretty quickly though. you order through a screen rather than speaking to someone which i think is nice to make the ordering process go a little faster. i believe they're cashless. there were a lot of banh mis to order from, each of them with a good amount of customizability. i got the the joju which comes with classic vietnamese ham, headcheese, pâté spread & BBQ Pork. the portion size of the one banh mi order was pretty massive, i was fairly hungry and like 75% of it got me pretty full. i see why there's a joju hype and def want to come back some other time to try more of their menu. read more

As much as I hate to admit it, I had not had a banh mi before coming here because every time I go to a Vietnamese restaurant, I can't resist getting pho and I could never finish a banh mi and pho. Fortunately this place mainly sells banh mi sandwiches and I've heard a lot of good things. I got the lemongrass chicken banh mi with a mango lychee mojito for a little less than $20. The sandwich was pretty big and stuffed to the brim with chicken and veggies. The chicken was juicy and tender and the pickled carrots and daikon radish added the perfect crunch and tartness. The cucumber and cilantro also added a bit of freshness. The bread was also delicious, it was soft and warm and had the perfect amount of chewiness. It also absorbed the juices very well because I didn't have to worry about anything dripping down my hands and arms while eating it. The mango lychee mojito was also delicious. It was perfectly sweet and went well with the sandwich. You taste the mango first and then you get the lychee flavor at the end. The drink has some mint leaves and lemon slices, which paired really nicely. And the addition of the sparkling water made it addictive. I could probably drink 10 of those before getting sick. read more

I've had the Elmhurst located bookmarked on Yelp for forever, and saw they just opened a location next to where I was staying in Queens, so I went to try it out. Website says it was on a soft opening, so I'm hoping that it gets better. The Thai iced tea and the egg roll were great (and I liked the green sauce a lot, too). The beef bulgogi had great flavor and tasted great, but I do wish it was hotter. I asked for the bahn mi to be spicy, and I didn't find it spicy at all, plus the kimchi and bread ratio to meat was overwhelming. I ended up tossing about 1/4th of it because it because just bread and kimchi. I'd give them another try in hopes that the next item I tried makes me like it more, also would still go and try the Elmhurst location instead, in hopes that the bahn mi's are better over there. read more

This place is inside the food hall of Tangram. When I arrived, there were no other people ordering. The menu is similar to that of Elmhurst. Since the stall is small, there were two people working.

Located in the food court in the Tangram Mall, Joju was the missing link in the array of foods you can find there. The lemongrass chicken banh mi was so delicious and savory. Add the spicy mayo and you will not regret it. The service was fast considering the crowds it draws in. You can even order ahead of time to this location for pick up or use the kiosk. It does get a little crowded as the food court is tightly spaced so be prepared.
