Description

This cozy Vietnamese spot elevates the banh mi to an art form: crisp, sesame-topped bread, balanced pâté and mayo, bright pickled vegetables and generous fillings make each sandwich addictive. Beyond stellar sandwiches, expect fresh smoothies, strong Vietnamese iced coffee, creative teas and summer rolls — all at reasonable prices. Friendly, homey service and consistent quality turn first-timers into regulars, though a drink‑sealing‑machine hygiene hiccup was reported.

We were rushing to get to the train station and stopped by Jo Jo’s for a couple sandwiches. The owners and staff were gracious and hospitable. The food was outstanding. I highly recommend this cafe for excellent Vietnamese food.

I was incredibly impressed with Jojo 's cafe. It 's a gem hidden in South Philly. The food is amazing quality for an unbeatable price. For $9-12 you can get a delicious, flavorful meal. The staff are phenomenal too. I would recommend the beef stew (served with big chunks of beef in broth, with toasted bread and veggies on the side) and the red pork banh mi. I will 100% be returning and it is my new favorite restaurant in South Philly.

First impression : the service is so nice! We were greeted and was offered help with the menu as soon as we entered. The special hoagie I got was super yummy with lots of mayoand pickled carrots, but wished there was more saltiness to it. A bit of soy sauce would’ve made it perfect. He even wrapped up my leftovers for me when I requested for the rest to-go. Avocado smoothie is a MUST when you visit! *Update* The special banh mi is loaded with pate, Mayo and plenty of salt and pepper that makes it soo good. Sugarcane was sweet and refreshing
