10/10As the servers were describing each dish and the ingredients, you can almost taste the course. The first bite of each course abounds with the complimentary flavors of the various ingredients! We had the lunch tasting menu and added a glass of white wine as chosen by the staff. The staff were all knowledgeable about the course they each presented. We enjoyed meeting the various servers. Besides the food and staff, our final highlight was meeting one of the chefs and having a chance to ask questions about our meal. The restaurant is deserving of its Michelin Star! You won’t be disappointed!

10/10I am truly not a fan of vegetarian food but this was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Even if you are not typically a fan of vegetarian cuisine this place will exceed your expectations! It was an eye opening experience for me. I had this dinner solo while on trip and it is rare that I feel like I get the same service as everyone else in a restaurant. I was really impressed that the staff treated me as if I was a table of 4 or 5 and not an extra hassle.

7.5/10We were curious to try this place for the first time, it is not up to what we expected from a stared restaurant especially concerning the service. The chef is creative, but the final result is not over the top. I would have expected a better overall experience.

7.5/10Amazing vegetarian food! Rather serious ambience and tense vibes though. No-one smiles.

8.5/10The staff were welcoming but as my reservation was at 12:30 I was surprised the doors were still locked and it took them a few moments to unlock them (at 12:30). As a courtesy to the restaurant I didn’t want to be late but they were likely not used to someone showing up right as they open. The staff were welcoming and their English was good. They were serious and did not do much small talk. Perhaps it was a language issue so not a significant criticism. I appreciated them going over all the items but wish they had spent more time explaining the ingredients, the reasons for the pairings, and the overall themes. The only example they offered was that one of the cheeses was from the chef’s hometown. Under a colorful blanket was my favorite - mystical presentation and many interesting flavors and textures. I thought in the morning before sunrise was rather bland - a missed opportunity with a dal curry. The navel of the world was skipped because I had left a comment that I didn’t like mushrooms. I was disappointed this wasn’t replaced with another dish. The law of chance also stood out as being a nice mixture of textures and flavors and I appreciated the server prepping it in front of me. The golden volcano looked nice but the flavors seemed redundant. I don’t have a sweet tooth but perhaps having something sweet along with the tartness of the apple would’ve been nice. The mango ice cream was nice and neutral - more of a palate cleanser than an accompaniment to the apple/fruity volcano. An opportunity to see the chef, even briefly, would have been very welcome. Overall I’ll come back as I appreciate the creativity, vegetarian options, and commitment to sustainability. Bravo.

8.5/10Thank you, we had a great evening. We were thankful to have alcohol-free cocktail options that were really really amazing!

10/10Amazing meal. As a non-vegetarian, it was stunning to experience a vegetable-based meal where the food is absolutely delicious in its own right, and isn't trying to be a meat replacement. Easily the best of it's kind that we have experienced. Highly highly recommend. P.S. if you just go for the risotto, it's still worth it!

10/10The meal was exceptional and the entire evening was special. It’s so rare to find fine dining and vegetarian fare. If you’re in to tasting menus, fine dining and vegetarian or veg curious, don’t miss JOIA.
