I ordered so I can't speak about the restaurant or staff itself. I really enjoyed the ginger seitan bites bowl. The spicy green and spicy mayo sauces were delicious!! Highly recommend this bowl for a refreshing and healthy meal.

First time visitor but this won't be the last time. While Joju is primarily known for their bahn mi, I decided to order a bowl entree with lemongrass chicken. I was really craving Vietnamese chicken and this hit the spot. Each bite was filled with a taste of ginger and lemongrass seasoning and the chicken was juicy. The portions were generous and they followed my order instructions. I will definitely order from here again.

It's a good bowl, I enjoyed it. I had the: Half and Half White Rice and Cabbage Salad with Grilled Pork, a Fried Egg (Runny), Jalapeños, Spicy Green Sauce. I added my request for the half-and-half on the app in the notes / text field and they did it for me, which is really nice of them.

TERRIBLE THAI ICED TEA. Be warned or be disappointed. Thai iced tea is literally close to flavorless which is disappointing considering how the original location knows how to make it right and how hard is it to make good Thai iced tea anyway. Caramel pork banh mi is good, though they barely toasted my bread.

Some of the best kimchi fries in town! Crispy, well-salted fries with the right amount of sauce, kimchi, scallions, and a ton of cilantro (warning for people with the soap gene!) I can't speak to the banh mis but I have enjoyed the bowls and beverages here as well. This location gets absolutely slammed during lunch hours due to it's proximity to many office buildings, but the food is made very quickly and the staff are all rockstars at handling a huge crowd of people picking up orders in a tiny space. I've also accidentally ordered late on a Friday - this location is closed on weekends - and they have fun out of proteins but offered to swap in others. This location closes at 5pm, which is early for the city but not strange for a the neighborhood. The prices are also reasonable for the neighborhood. As far as the actual space, you order on kiosks and staff prep on a Chipotle-style line. There is some seating but it gets crowded during food pickup times and I've always taken mine down to Bryant Park.

One of the best banhmi places in NYC! I've been a customer of their original location in Elmhurst for many years and a fan of their midtown location too. The food quality is consistent between the restaurants, and service is friendly and efficient. The sandwiches are filled with plenty of tasty ingredients--aside from the main protein there's a terrific pickled carrot/daikon mix, fresh cucumber and cilantro. If your sandwich doesn't already include it, adding a fried egg with a slightly runny center takes it to the next level. The Joju original $14.95 and caramel pork $12.95 are perennial favorites, I like their grilled pork $12.95 banhmi too. Definitely try the fries! Joju loaded fries $8.95 which comes with a mix of sauces, spicy mayo, pickled daikon/ carrot mix mentioned above, cilantro and jalapeños, or the kimchi loaded fries $8.95 with spicy mayo, kimchi, scallions, cilantro and jalapeños--are both yummy sides or a tasty savory afternoon snack. The fries are double fried which gives them a nice crispy exterior. They also do the same ingredients in bowl form so they can be enjoyed with different bases (rice, brown rice, cabbage salad, cold noodle salad). I believe they have a few gluten-free options too. Drinks--I'd recommend the Vietnamese iced coffee, cold brew Vietnamese coffee, Thai ice tea, and hot Vietnamese espresso. The midtown location has a simple, modern set up, and is mostly a take out location. There are some seats inside but people seem to be lunch customers or drivers picking up delivery orders.

I came here based off of reviews and I was searching for a place near work that's walking distance. I know that there are other stores in Flushing and Elmhurst that I've been to before, so I decided to try the one and only location in the city. When you look from the outside, it is bigger on the inside. It's very modern inside with the tablets set up by the front to order from, and there's room for people to eat inside as well. I ordered the summer rolls, and it came with peanut sauce. It was good, better than other places that I've gone to. They're known for their Vietnamese sandwiches, but I decided to get something different. I got one of their bowls instead, and I could get it with sauces on the side. Overall, it was a filling meal, and I would go back eventually.
