This was my first visit to this restaurant. I have to say that it was a deluxe establishment. Lively, infested, and very clean. The staff greeted my large family birthday gathering with professional, polite and prompt service. We ordered oysters on the half shell appetizers as well as several others.
If you're up for trying something new, you should definitely give JOA a shot! The best part is that you get to prepare the meat yourself, and let me tell you, the sides they serve are absolutely delicious and unique. It's always a good time there, trust me! Going to JOA will definitely broaden your horizons and leave you wanting to come back for more. Oh, and make sure to try their hot pot and the pork belly when you go next time. By the way, we also had the chance to taste their oysters and the soybean soup, were fire!
This place is awesome. I've tried several Korean BBQ places here in Dallas and Joa is the best. The quality of food, especially the meat and kimchi, is amazing. I enjoyed the marinated short ribs the most but all the meat in the JOA platter is high quality.The variety of sauces, kimchi and sides were comparable to other places. Cocktails were delicious. We brought our 1.5 yr old daughter and it was kid friendly. The staff and service was impressive. Our server Le Le(sp?) walked us through each course and cooked it for us at our table. She was great and really made the experience memorable and fun. We will be back!
Food quality was very good but the service was ok. This was the first Korean BBQ restaurant that does not cook the meat for you. I agree with the other review, if they're going for a more high end feel, their service needs to be better.
The side dishes were good but did not come with the steamed egg soup which is atypical
Overall, good quality but some things are lacking
I had an outstanding dining experience at JOA Korean BBQ. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the bulgogi – it was bursting with flavor and absolutely delicious. The culinary journey this restaurant takes you on with their Korean BBQ offerings is truly remarkable.
But what truly stood out was the dedication of the staff. Despite a minor issue with our grill, the team at JOA Korean BBQ went above and beyond to ensure our dinner was enjoyable. In particular, the manager, Sean, was a true professional. His proactive approach and commitment to customer satisfaction were truly commendable.
JOA Korean BBQ not only serves mouthwatering food but also offers exceptional service that turns a meal into a memorable experience. If you're looking for a place that combines delectable Korean cuisine with a staff that truly cares about your dining pleasure, JOA Korean BBQ should be at the top of your list.
A group of us went for our Graduation dinner and LayLay was AMAZING!!!! She took great care of us and the food was TOP NOTCH PREMIUM QUALITY!!!
We were going to another Korean restaurant for dumplings, and unfortunately, the dumplings had already sold out. The owner was to ask if he went to a Korean restaurant which one would it be. He said he would go to JOA Korean BBQ. It turns out to be a diamond in the rough. The atmosphere was excellent, the food was even better and the waiter was top-notch. No negatives at all. Even the water was refreshing.
Came tonight very first time and I loved it! Our server Laylay was amazing, she was very attentive, nice and friendly!! The food was really good :)
First time here and it was a great experience! The staff was super nice and accommodating. Meat quality on point - we got the Taste of Joa and added some extras for four people and it was the perfect amount. Definitely recommend the beef tartar. The AC was malfunctioning so we were dying but other than that it was a perfect dinner
Food was amazing and the atmosphere was great. I was skeptical when I went on royal with the check cashing and massage parlors but this was a good vibe with good food. Great for a date night. Bring your girl!
