“ Overall Joju is one of my go to lunch spots while in midtown and it certainly doesnt disappoint. Protein option definitely depends on the person, but Id recommend the lemongrass chicken. The fries here are a decently sized portion, more suitable for a group than as a side for one person. Ambiance Joju has a very efficient layout where you order by yourself with kiosks, where some of them have contactless payment options. Theres a big open space to support the takeout orders, but still some seating available for those that want to dine in. Food and Drink Lemongrass Chicken Banh mi Ive been to Joju multiple times and tried a bunch of their protein options, but I think the best one might just be the chicken. I also like to get spicy mayo in the sandwich as well as on the side, just for extra sauce. Cold Brew Thai Tea Thai tea is naturally a very sweet drink, but I think this one might be one of the stronger tasting ones Ive had. ”
“ Very delicious sandwiches. Also very big. Bulgogi sandwich was filled with beef and tasted very good. Very quick i walked in, ordered on the touchscreen and got my order in the pickup window in 4 minutes. A clean no thrills ambiance with several tables in the back. ”
“ I meed to give them 5 because this is one of the best modern Vietnamese food Ive had. I had their ginger seitan bowl and it was out of this world! I also tried their spring rolls and it did not disappoint. Its a very clean and efficient kitchen for sure. I work near the 5th Avenue location so Ill be going there many times. ”
“ Definitely one of the best Asian food in the central time square area! The bowls options were absolutely delicious with spicy green sauce! And I love both Vietnamese ice coffee and tea with bubbles!!! Always crazy busy at lunch time. ”
“ Delicious, flavorful bulgogi bahn mi sandwich. This place gets insanely busy during the lunch rush. A few tables for dine in, but mostly togo. Fries were also great. Would definitely come back again. ”
“ Ive been to the original one in Elmhurst several times. Craving for their sandwich, I was shocked that they opened one near me. This shop is bigger and modern. The menu is different, its make your own sandwich or bowl. I guess it caters to the midtown customers. There are two tables outside and to order, there are 3 iPads. Once you placed your order, you stand by the pickup window. Painless and efficient. I ordered a caramelized pork sandwich and iced Vietnamese coffee. Both are delicious and I will definitely go back! ”
“ It gets very busy here doing lunch time. Been passing by this spot almost two years now. Finally went in out of curiosity. I wasnt in the mood for a big meal especially since I never been here and didnt want to spend manhattan lunch time money in this economy. I appreciate the kiosk orders and its pretty quick service. Very organized operation they have here. Lots of pork items but no pork on my fork please! I opted for the fried spring rolls and theyre the best I ever had. Spicy Mayo slapped too. I saved some sauce for later. Ill come back here and try other things. Gotta put bae on I bet hed like it. ”
“ Great food and the double fried fries are amazing. Love that they have plenty of seating and are open till 7 for those that stay at work late. Place is around the corner from Barnes and Noble Great addition to midtown specially with other places getting some new variety is always great. ”
