"I originally thought Jo's was American cuisine but it turned out to be Asian, what a surprise! The whole fish was cooked to perfection and the shrimp fried rice was a meal in itself. The most outstanding dish was the mussels, it was a huge portion so it took a while to dig down and get to the curry sauce which was one of the best I've tasted. This is a real winner in a funky Nolita space."

"Overall good experience, however the service was slow, especially when time came to give dessert menus, the server didn't walk by our table for a long time."

"Always fun to dine in the company of celebs! My favorite spot to hang out in NYC - Johnny & Co. do a fantastic job at fusing east Asian cuisine with classics. The Chicken & Waffles ice cream dessert is amazing! Who knew?!!! Can't wait to stop by on my next trip to the big apple"

"All around a superlative eating establishment. I took a date here and wanted to impress him. it turned out to be one of the best dates. The waitstaff is very knowledgeable and patient. the food is flavorful and terrific. the ambience is romantic for dinner, even though lunch and brunch must also be quite an experience."
