Joo Joo Restaurant & Karaoke

"This was my first time visiting this restaurant and I will definitely be back! I didn't know what to order and the waitress was very helpful and nice! Their service was Impeccable! They were busy but multiple people besides out waitress kept stopping to ask if we needed any help. The food was really good. We had the Bul Go Gi Dol Pan, which cooked tableside. It was super flavorful and it was $45, but enough to feed 3 people. We also had the Gal Bi Gu Yi (bone-in short ribs) and they were great too. The only complaint is that there's not a lot of meat. The bone takes up a lot of the meat, but it has good flavor. It was also a little tough, but I would buy it again. The sides the brought out were different but good. The potato salad was Absolutely Amazing! I would order that as a solo dish. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want to try Korean food."

"Quick Service! What? I got the seafood hotpot and also the teokbokki. The seafood hotpot was overall good - the crab wasn't fresh but the other items were okay. There was a decent amount of everything - crab, octopus, shrimp, oyster, tofu. I subbed out the udon for ramen. Despite the crab not as fresh, I still thoroughly enjoyed the soup and ramen. The teokbokki was a little on the hard side... maybe it cooled down too quickly.. didn't enjoy that as much. Not sure the amount of barchan varieties they gave but I only got 4 types - braised potatoes, kimchi, radish and steamed egg. They were all eh, not a fan. Environment This is located in a plaza means there is plenty of parking space available. The inside had quite a bit of seating available. The burners for the hotpot or BBQ are portable so they bring it to your table when you order those. Niceness of the staff They were quick to sit you, take your order and ready for you to head out. I like that they leave you alone I guess, but they are also readily available and quick. Dollar It was decent, for the 2 items it was near $70. The food was enough for 2-3 people to eat Yes? I would return yes."

"I was not impressed. We were sat at a normal table by the kitchen. Busy wait staff running by us the entire time. The atmosphere was just ok. The meat options were not small enough to get a few to try the grill. Not once did the waiter talk about the menu. We just ordered some entrées. They were good but it was not the reason why we came here. No experience with the hotpot or the grill options. We won't be back, to be honest."

"Best Korean food in St Louis I’ve ever had! The hotpot is so good. Looks normal at first but as it boiled for a while, the cheese melted and the smell of it came out. The flavor is strong and moderately spicy. I love it. Also the seafood pancakes are good."

"Stopped here with some friends for the first time and was not disappointed in the entire experience! We chose the BBQ grill and a beef bulgogi for dinner. For those who are unfamiliar with Korean BBQ grills or hot pot, they basically bring you your meats and sides and let you cook your own way with your own toppings. It's more of a fun experience than anything. The staff is also super helpful and will help you or cook for you if you are having trouble. This location also has karaoke but we opted not to do that this time."
