A truly outstanding Thai restaurant a cut above the others, and among the best Bib Gourmand restaurants I’ve visited. First, the ambiance is outstanding (perfect for dates and special occasions) and the service is very friendly. But the food is just out of this world — the drunken noodles are a gem and so is the pork laab burger. I also tried the pad thai, which is on-point. The desserts and drinks are also very good. For the quality, the prices aren’t bad. Been here twice and will definitely be back.

We recently went there for dinner with friends. The experience was unforgettable, both the taste and the service were spectacular.
If you have any allergies/preference, please tell your waiter ahead of time so they can let you know the options and alert the chef. Every dish we tried has various layers of flavors and textures.

The only downside of this place is there's only one bathroom so it takes a bit of wait sometimes to use it.

We will definitely come back to try more dishes!

Fancy Thai dishes in an upscale casual bistro.

We had a delightful dinner at Jo’s on Saturday night that started with two cocktails, including the ‘Makrut Three Ways’ which was excellent, and the Thai Garden which was herbal and mildly sweet. For our meal, we had the green papaya salad, which was quite spicy even at medium, the surf and turf, and the Pork Laab Burger. Normally I prefer a curry or pad Thai, but the burger was absolutely delicious- seared, juicy, and spiced just right on a toasted bun with aioli. We would visit again!

Had a lovely night as usual! Drinks were on point and the food to die for! The shrimp mousse toast and the pork belly curry are the all time favorites! You will not be disappointed!
Best seats in the house are at the bar because you will have the wonderful Diana as you barlady and she is spectacular!
