    We just moved to the area and was initially excited to try this restaurant. As foodies, we dine out regularly. A key indicator of having full availability on a Friday night should have alerted me to this not being a great restaurant. Service from the moment we walked through the door made us question staying. It was a disaster moving forward with one entrée being worse than the next. I drew the line after ordering the JoJo love boat. All of the sushi was discolored and didn't smell fresh. Took a few bites, spit it out and politely asked for the check. From the holes in the bench seat to the taped in menus, this was a clear indicator this restaurant is struggling and didn't ask for a refund. I hope we don't get sick...

    Love JOJO’s, it’s just a bit pricey for what you’re getting. That said, very nice locally owned spot that’s accommodating. Glad we didn’t go to Benihana 🤣

    The staff and crew were all so polite! We were immediately greeted and sat upon entrance. We were served beverages, miso soup, and salad shortly afterward. Despite it just being my husband and I dining in the establishment at the time of our reservation, the server was interactive and engaging!! Moreover, we got extra food and boozy off the Sake shots. ;) This is a household hibachi style restaurant favorite, and we will mostly certainly return for future dining experiences!

    We were celebrating my grandson's birthday and everything was perfect! They even provided a birthday cake for him and his guests. They went above and beyond to make his day special! Thank you!

    An established, hidden gem 💎! Our son has been there many times and for his birthday 🥳 we chose it to celebrate. He’s in his late 20s but multiple generations of birthdays and casual diners were present. The staff and chef were outstanding! Good food, value and entertainment!

    The servers and hostess were nice, they were the main reason we tipped extra on top of the service charge. The food was bland. Only hibachi place I’ve ever been that doesn’t give you noodles unless you order ahead for an extra charge. the seating area we were put in was terrible(ruins the experience for anybody you put in that corner.)we were so far from the chef and the experience he had to put the food on a plate and walk it to us. Won’t be coming back. They should take notes from Wu’s house.
