The food was great and well priced, service could have been a little better but it was a busy night. Have been many times and will continue coming back!

Been here a few times when we meet interstate friends in the city. Have always loved getting a table out on the balcony, but this time we were placed inside as they botched up our booking. Head up the escalators to this restaurant, it's got a great bar area while you wait, and you will wait if you haven't made a booking, esp on the weekend. As there is more than one kitchen, we have found that lately, the meals are not in sync ie the pasta dishes arrived a good 10-15mins before the steaks so you can't all eat together. The menu is massive, loads to chose from. But please please get your Receptionist who takes your booking - try and smile and be happy. Every time we go in, the same girl is always the same ... Not Happy Jan lol. The bar staff are always happy so this helps ..

Approximate cost: $24

I would give this place an "OK". There is plenty of variety here, but I ordered a pizza which had basically no topping, was overcooked and generally disappointing. Our meals (there were 10 of us) were very mixed, with some having amazing meals and others finding that their steak was chewy, fatty and overcooked. Those who ordered fish seemed to have a good experience and also one of the party who ordered pasta was very happy. I would say that this place is part pot-luck. I would try it again, but not with high hopes!

I went to Jojos for the first time and it was fantastic. I have special dietary needs and the staff were initially a little hesistant to assist me, but ended up being fantastic.
Our gorgeous hostess took our orders personally to each of the chefs and explained to them how I need my food prepared. (It turned out that all our food was prepared specially for me in case I wanted to share anyone elses food from my table).
Our table was all very pleased with their meals and I sampled almost all of the foods on our table. My favourite was the Chicken Pad Thai.... I haven't had this in years and it was delicious.
The meals were all generous sized portions and I felt that the prices were excellent for an upper class restaurant.
Kids were welcomed and were given colouring pictures and crayons on our table to keep them entertained until the meals arrived. I love it at Jojo's, but the staff made it extra special.

My favourite part about this place is the variety! No matter what you are feeling like for lunch or dinner you can get it here. The menu at each separate eatery is fantastic and I find the price excellent value. It does get quite busy and you are not always able to walk in but they usually try their best to find a spot for you. It is nice to sit on the balcony and have a glass of wine. The service is usually very quick also! My favourite dish has been a turkish style chicken salad with hommus!

Approximate cost: $20-30

was just an ok dining experience. good location and variety, but not outstanding. service levels dropped when asked for a second beverage. and meals came out at very different times.

This place has been around for ever, and it always seems to be very busy... but I'v enever been overly impressed with it.

Sure... there is tonnes of variety on the menu, but it doesn't really wow me. And its really annoying to have to go up to different counters to order.

Then listening to all the bells ring at the different kitchens drives me insane.

It does have the balcony though - very nice to sit out there and have a drink and chat.

Approximate cost: $25

This is one of my favourite places to eat in the city. It's awesome sitting a floor above the mall, out in the fresh air eating awesome food. Great atmosphere and they have a really good variety of dishes to suit all! The good thing is they are open late on he weekend and you can get some food while sobering up at the end of the nite.

Went here after a night out and was very surprised how many staff there were available to service a small amount of customers. There was a wide range of good to chose from, but it was quite overpriced and nothing different and exciting. I am gluten-intolerant and was disappointed the menu didn't show gluten-free options like they do in many restaurants these days. The wine we had was also very ordinary and expensive. Probably won't come here again, even though the atmosphere was nice.

Approximate cost: $50

Always have loved Jo Jos - the atmosphere, the food, the drink, the location - really great place to go to for a large group of people.
