    We love this place! Their food is always fresh and delicious and they have a great drink selection too. The lychee martini is a must! Their service is always fast and friendly! Owners James and Lisa make you feel like you're part of their family! Thank you for all you do!

    We are regular at Jojo’s, James bought the place four months ago and we didn’t think it can get any better but somehow they made the place much better. Food is amazing, service is beyond 5 stars (Lisa is great and very helpful even with young kiddos)… always welcoming especially with our little one which can be very hectic. We usually get the filet mignon/shrimps and the seafood combination, we also tried the sushi lately and all was fantastic. Definitely beyond 5 star review, highly recommended for hibachi and family night out!

    As of today I'd give it a solid third place after Benihana and Wu's House. Hibachi soup was bland / watery and salad lettuce barely had any green. Improvement can easily be made there. The main course was a generous portion. The shrimp and teriyaki sauce were good, yakisoba had a proper flavor although a wee bit on the greasy side. Fried rice was ok, but needs some work. One thing we certainly didn't like is they did not accept the Clipp coupon we paid for, so we were essentially bait and switched into going out of our way to try this restaurant. If there was a sign, it was easy to miss. I suggest doubling up or using the Clipp logo. You cannot expect people to read every ounce of text on your doors. We are there to eat and talk, not solve a financial mystery. No warmth, no explanation, no apology, just coldly told us to get a refund for it. I understand now looking at the reviews, but to make it an issue between them and the customer VS them and the previous owner is probably not the best business practice for new customer acquisition & retention. I can tell they're running from this problem rather then facing it head on with open arms. Ambiance had some notable small town character. The large hibachi setup is interesting and I liked the energy in the room. Perhaps this was how to first original Benihana had it setup. I wish them the best, but we are not likely to go back or recommend it to friends & family. If they want to sustainably compete at this price point, I imagine they have some refinement to do.

    On a random Tuesday we decided to go back to Jojo’s. The new ownership is next level! James was great from the first to last moment, making sure our kids were having the best time. The new team was superb, checking in on us constantly. Our chef knew every trick in the book, and was very engaging, always keeping the kids’ eyes on him. Even the cleaning crew was engaging and kept the kids laughing. We’ve been to this restaurant numerous times, but the new owners have taken it a huge step up. Their hospitality is fantastic! If you’ve never been, or haven’t been since the change in ownership, you HAVE to check out Jojo’s!

    Under new management since I was there last. The food was all excellent. The Hibachi Chefs there are very entertaining. AND they just added noodles to every hibachi meal in addition to rice. Had enough for leftovers. The soup! I could drink a gallon of the soup! So good. Simple brother with mushrooms, but excellent. I ordered my steak Extra Rare and for the first time ever at an Hibachi place, it was done Extra Rare! So tasty. I gave a big tip because we had a great time there. I think they earned it! I'll be back at some point. It is a bit pricey, but its like dinner and a show.
