   Thr server was extremely inattentive, leaving and not returning each time he put the meat on the grill and left it to burn.

   We always go to Joa when we eat meat. That’s because we can enjoy the freshest and highest-quality meat in Dallas and receive friendly service.

   I think the food was overpriced for the experience. For me and my man it was $200 and I only got 1 drink during happy hour.

   We went for date night. The service was horrible we sat for 20 minutes before being greeted. It was our first time so we didn’t really know what to expect. The waitress was not helpful at all. She came over and dropped off everything and didn’t explain anything. The grill was dirty and we let her know all she said was they don’t cook on the dirty side. We will definitely not be back. Besides all of this the prices are way too high for the amount of food you get. Save your money.

   The ambience was great and service was impeccable! Food was subpar. We ordered mashed potatoes and corn cheese. Recommend the potatoes so yummy! Corn cheese was too much cheese and little corn. We ordered hanger steak and bulgogi for the grill. Bulgogi tasted more like a minced beef and the hanger steak did not wow us. Overall, okay experience. I’d recommend to try it, but definitely would not drive out of my way for it.

    The timing of our meal was really off… our friendly server would come by & then we wouldn’t see him for a long time, as if he was overcommitted. We watched everyone who was seated after us get served before us. Then, when we were served it was like he was in a rush, trying to cook multiple items at once. We had to ask him to slow down. Our side arrived just before our 5th meat was ready to cook so we sent it back (not our MO, never feels good). In contrast, the neighbors received their side just before the meat was brought to their table. The food was good, it was a louder restaurant & rather casual. Wine menu was just OK for meals that were $50+ each…
