Review Summary

JOA draws praise for its homemade noodles and a decadent fried chicken, with fast service and friendly staff frequently noted. Diners highlight comforting, well executed Korean and Sino Korean dishes, especially the jajangmyeon, jjamppong, and dumplings with spicy sauce. The portions are sometimes described as small for the price, but the quality and authenticity shine through, and some visits include extras like a free cup of tea. The setting is described as a small, quaint place with a calm vibe, making it surprisingly quiet on certain evenings. Overall the reviews point to a solid, authentic menu, reliable hospitality, and an appealing option for those seeking classic dishes done well.

Deceptive photos on DoorDash. If it's a vegetable dish, don't show pictures with lots of meat. I used to get these with meat automatically included in the dishes, now it's an extra?! I know it's written'legumes' but sometimes you are just rushed. When you show a photo, it is what I'm expecting.

This is a great family owned restaurant. The lady at the cash was lovely. Unfortunately, I did not take pictures but we had their fried chicken & jjam bbong, which were very good.

Ordered jja jang, jjam ppong, & sweet & sour chicken. Everything was amazing, but JJAM PONG WAS TO DIE FOR.

Their recipe for KFC is a bit different from what I've encountered so far, main factor has to be that I've never had it without sauce before. The pieces were nicely seasoned & juicy but didn't impress me as much as Coqcor or Buldak. If I were to return I might try the mixed box, would likely prefer it over just chicken. Service was awesome though.
