WHY PEOPLE BELIEVE IN US!
You can read the following Joji’s Diner reviews and will know that why we are a great American cuisine restaurant in Singapore.
Our go-to order is Omelette & Hash, Duck Mash and Earl Gray Iced Tea. The omelette is one of the best I have had in Singapore, seasoned just right.
Food is good and awesome for the price. Calamari portion size is huge!! But I will not travel all the way to the east just for the food unless friends requested.
Joji claims orange juice to be freshly squeezed but it is not the case. Weiner hash is delicious though, just missing real orange juice.
Please be expected to wait for table as this place has limited space. Food is good though but the dining experience can be better improved.
Finally tried this diner after seeing TikTok videos & friends posting on their Instagram Stories.I went on a Friday night, by the time i reached, it was Saturday midnight and there was a queue. I had to wait for about 35mins. The staff took down our contact information and called us when the table was ready.You order at the main counter and make payment first, despite this, you are still being charged 10% service charge 👎🏻I got the All Stars Plate ($13.50++) with French Toast and a Ruby Lemonade ($5.90++), the portion is actually pretty good and is quite filling.The staffs were friendly which is a big plus because i feel that service in Singapore can really be a hit or miss.Overall, you come here for the vibes & experience. It’s a great place to come here and talk about life with your friends or significant other.(Parking - There is street parking available (parallel parking) on the same street, if all lots are taken up, there is a nearby HDB)
Food is super nice as supper after work and at night is not that crowded too. Good place to visit and staff quite friendly. If you visit here, try their chicken & waffle. You will like it if you like savoury food.
was told there was some system error only when we entered and sat and went to order. Told us it would be down for 30 minutes and can’t order food till then. Waited 35 minutes and heard them tell a new patron that they would have to wait another 30 minutes. At least be straight up about the timing. Waste of my time. Staff was also pretty indifferent and unapologetic.
Came slightly before lunch crowd, managed to get seated immediately, shortly after there's a line waiting. Table management doesn't seem to be very efficient.Food wise is good, abit greasy to my liking. But I guess that's what diner's food are..Service almost non existant, not sure why I'm paying for service fee. Guy with the explosive hair manning the cashier, rude and nonchalant attitude, tapping on his machine while taking orders and had to repeat myself a few times to get my order across, clearly distracted. Requested for napkins and was told (rudely) to take it myself. Must have Came in at the wrong time as everyone is just so grumpy and tired, long shift for everyone?Over 2/5 , worth the try for the food, but be prepared for the lacking in service standard
Fun diner, limited menu but good all-day breakfast and drinks. Good friendly service.
good oldies feel especially those who want billy bomber feel again. The place though small and packed, the atmosphere is energised with continuous crowd. Packing can be an issue and do go early to have a table.
Went here for a group brunch - the place is usually quite crowded in the day and we waited about 45 mins for 7 of us.Their dishes have funny tongue in cheek names and the place plays 2000s music which is fun !I had Morning Wood , which is basically 2 bratwurst sausages with mash and veggies and toast. Love how they use sourdough toast instead of normal white bread toast, adds a different taste and texture to garlic bread. My friends had the chicken and waffles, would have to say it was worth $13-14 dollars for the portion size. The sausages were very hearty and tasty, and every bite was well balanced.Yes portion sizes here are real big, so come in a group if you’d like to try more items.Their buttermilk flapjacks are delicious too when hot ! Loaded spuds are great too.Drinks wise the strawberry lemonade is okay and the milkshakes are alright not mind blowing.This place is not for you if you like healthy food because everything is unhealthily delicious !!! Bring a friend if you are a small eater because finishing one main by yourself can be quite the challenge. ✨
literally worst meal ever. everything was bad.waffles bad. coffee bad. rosti bad. mac and cheese bad.bad bad bad
Horrible Service here, me and my friend came for dinner, we were given the normal table but afterwards we requested to the waiter that we wanted booth seat. Another waiter gave us the seat but afterwards we are asked to leave our booth by the first waiter in an extremely rude manner and go to our previous seat despite our food already served. He was very unapologetic and even asked us to queue again if we want the booth seat. When I expressed my unhappiness the waiter reluctantly walked away. He said we should have asked him permission to move our place which is absolutely ridiculous. The food here is good but this kind of service is intolerable.
This is an experience in itself. Brought my American friends here before and they say it’s not really an American diner…but we are none the wiser!Decor is so nostalgic and it’s a whole vibe.The food though, nice!! Have tried their chicken waffles before and was great.Their steak and fries though woohoooo this was on another level. Steak was juicy and tender, and well seasoned. Wasn’t dry and gross for a fast concept diner.Their shakes also are vein clogging good.Come just to experience this, but suggestion is to come early because the queues get insanely long.
Mac'n'cheese + garlic bread was great! We loved the big bang, muddy lava and pink lemonade too.Blueberry pancake was too sour for our liking.
Was there on 6th April 2024, Saturday at 1am. The girl at the counter taking order was rude and condescending. Ordered waffles and strawberry milkshake, it was absolute trash. The worst quality of food you can get. Skip this trash place.
👎 waiting time can range between 1-2 hours towards midnight👍 staff are friendly still despite large customer traffic👍 if u sat inside the diner, it has that classic American diner feel & is cold inside to beat the heat we are currently experiencing in SGMeal 1: Steak & Eggs ⭐️~ $24The whole meal was super dry. At least they go the medium rare part correctMeal 2: All Star Platter ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ~$15.90Potato wedges & scrambled eggs were decentMushroom could use seasoning and maybe a change to portobello. Pancakes were overcooked and tasted super dry. Baked beans & sausage were standard.Drinks: Iced Mocha & Iced LatteToo diluted. Both tasted exactly the same.Overall verdict:Not worth the hype nor the wait. Would definitely not be going back to try other things.Overall damage: ~$60
Diner in 80s retro theme. The deco, tables and chairs remind you of a 80s american style diner. Food was pretty good. Ordered the all star plate (rem to top up for potato hash if u like rosti), blueberry waffles and earle grey ice tea. Prices was reasonable and best of all, they are open 24hrs.
Visited this place on a Saturday morning at around 0600hrs, restaurant was pretty empty.Ordered the Farmers Plate and Morning Wood. Was really surprised at the serving size and it was absolutely delicious! Really tasted like the authentic American breakfast!!Will definitely patronise again 👍
I’m so disappointed that we got cat fished kind of feeling. Fell for ads and social media exposure but nothing was as said.Bad queuing system, taking orders were messy, food menu was majority on Pork and Beef, I could count the chicken was under 3 or lesser in the menu. The worst part was the blueberry pancakes, I can’t even imagine how they thought it was a good idea making it look such.
Really great American diner. Burger was fantastic. Everything really tasted great. I list service lower as you order from counter m but was easy.
What I liked about this place was the pricing and the taste of the food. Had the pancake and sausage. Pancakes had a tinge of cinnamon and is quite sweet by itself.The fried squid was good but I note that sometimes it can get over fried. Sauce was yummy though.
Food was soso for the price. Portions are bigger than average, but small considering the price. I think I went there with too high expectations because my friends kept wanting to go there. Service was good, great atmosphere. Crowded most of the time so do remember to ask for a queue number from them when you enter
Amazing music, delicious food and quick service. Loved the nostalgic American diner feels.
My go to supper place, I love their fried chicken and waffles, all star plate, blueberries pancakes and amazing drinks!
Authentic American breakfast with chili sauce, something you can’t get in US. Food is good and the atmosphere really feels American.
Very interesting concept: old style American diner. Loved the concept. The food was also really delicious! The buttermilk pancakes and bratwurst is a must-try!
Came for supper to Joji’s at 1am. No queue. Ordered the Plain pancakes, Cajun Squid fritters and Americano.The Cajun squid fritters was amazing. The seasoning was spicy and salty and paired very well with Cajun Mayo provided on the side. Add a squeeze of lemon for the extra zest, you won’t regret!The plain pancake had cinnamon in it, and that had a nice touch of flavour that went well with the dollop of Butter and maple syrup.
Good food, ambiance is great, service is ok not bad nor great. No cash transaction.
Came on a weekday 6pm and the crowd is forming. Make sure to let the staff acknowledge you before moving away as the queue can be messy at times. As they is no proper place to stand around the premises. Luckily the staff have a good memory who is next in the queue.Waffle & chicken and serving is huge. The waffle is crispy and fluffy which blended well with the chicken thighs meat and a sunny side up. Maple syrup is provided on the table.Mac & Cheese is rich in cheese and creamy that comes with 2 roasted bread.Bird burger is recommended too. The chicken is cooked to perfection and goes very well with the bun.Cajun Squid Fritters is delicious.Strawberry paddle pop and big bang are really sinful. It reminds of me Billy Bombers that was years back then.Will come back again for other dishes.A total $79 is well spent.Parking is easy as it’s just along the road side.
Rude staff managing the cashier station on 26/03 820pm.A tall and slim dude with puffy hair, looks younger than 20.Proceeds to raise his voice at me the second time to enquire about my table number when taking order. Place was loud and i had trouble reacting to his first time asking it.Throughout the order taking process, gave a nonchalant attitude and continuously swings and flaps a table towel while leaning against the cashier.0/10 staff.
Ordered Scrambled cheese egg, Sausage, Shredded potato. I was looking for dessert session not much. The waiting is very long 45mins to 1 hour.
Called them 9times over 2 days and no answer and when finally they pick up the lady on the phone was damm rude really wan to come down and slap her face. I said i wanna make reservation she said only pre table available so i asked her whats that and she just hung up on me. Called back and ask her why she hung up while i was talking to her she simply said YAA… no point food nice if got this type of cb staff
A hidden gem in Serangoon estate.We headed to the restaurant to try the food during lunch time. The duck confit is delicious and very tender.Great food and cozy ambience!I will definitely check out the dessert menu.And staffs are friendly.
One of my favourite places for brunch and plus this place never let me down whenever I brought a new friend over, they loved it instantly.
The atmosphere and food were great. Just the service that was lacking very badly. Some of the staff were rude, and the queueing system was very messy.
service is good. ate on sunday night. food overall was delicious, potato cubes lesser flavour than before
Really enjoyed the food and vibes here. Waffles were excellent. The omelettes were sandwiched with cheese so that really added layers to the flavour and texture. The freshly squeezed orange juice could be better though.
I had a very bad experience with joji’s diner staff they are extremely rude and bad. Please put a reservation sign outside. If you not only accepting walk in customers. When asking staff questions very bad in communicating with customers. Please do something about it.:(
Good authentic American Diner. The only thing missing is the apron clad waitress with a cigarette on her lips 🙂
Food was good and portions were big. Sides did not seem very fresh though as the potatos seemed soggy. The place was nicely decorated and had the standard American feel although a little unhygienic as there were flies, utensils were greasy and there was a small hole in the wall loosly covered by a poster beside the seat. We went in before dinner rush (~7pm) if not be prepared to queue for seats
Food was flavourful and tasty, but no idea why the bill includes service charge. We had to order the food ourselves at the counter. The utensils and sauces are on the table self service. So why charge your customers service charge?This just doesn't make any sense
Good food at a reasonable price, good atmosphere with the American diner vibes, but prepare for a long queue especially during dinner or lunch time!
Very good American diner food, for the price point and generous portion size. Waffles had crispy exterior with soft interior; scrambled eggs so light and fluffy. Better to come with a group to try different items! Except that seating is limited, do avoid peak hours on Fri-Sun.
Quite a small place. Need to queue if you are coming during peak hours. Aircon & fan is on high so it’s quite cold. Get a shawl if your lady is afraid of cold. Cos the cold air keeps blasting. Service is good however food is what you usually get at American diners.
Atmosphere has a very classic american feel, food is a little salty. They rickrolled us
3am foods taste extra delicious... Been here 2nd time didnt dissapoint... Love it
Come for breakfast in early morning. Food serve very fast and delicious. One of my fav diner place.
First time here and my gosh...subpar quality western food. Sad piece of bacon, atrocious slimy mushrooms 🤮the only redeeming item on the plate was the sausage and scrambled eggs. Milkshake was nasty. You're paying for the hype for a "retro" American diner that Singapore doesn't have at the moment.
Expect a long wait over peak period on a weekend. A few of their items were sold out already and it would be better if they could inform us beforehand on what was not unavailable. Overall, it was a delicious and filling meal!
The diner is quite small. They don't accept reservation. More suitable for breakfast or brunch.
The food was incredible, they served the best waffles I’ve ever had, the blueberry french toast was amazing and the chips seasoning was delicious. The atmosphere is really cute too, just don’t look too close in some places.
more of a place to hangout and chill, sandwich is not really what i expected? would have preferred if the beef chilli was on the side instead and chilli wasnt rlly good either. My friend had their chicken waffle tho, it was REALLY GOODD
Nice place for meals no matter is it lunch or dinner. Lovely staff, they were super even though it was a busy day.
food was great 👍 nice place to hang out at, but a tad bit pricey because there’s 10% sc. would go back, but not so soon because i am trying to look after my arteries too 🤘
Was there for desserts but kind of disappointed with the quality. Had a creamy banana shake (not wow), friends had blueberry waffles with ice cream (waffle texture dough heavy and clumpy, not sure why) and lava cake dish which is likely a mocrowaved piece. And halfway through, one part of the ceiling collapsed! Thank goodness nobody gets seriously hurt... 😓😓😓
Duck on mash is not really my likings, duck meat us very tender though. The rest of tge items in my photos are nice👍👍👍 expect a little waiting time during peak hours. I was there around 6:30pm and waited 30mins to get my seats. Limited parking, there’s a near by hdb that you can try and walk over.
I would say is for the hype good supper place but the portion are very big so beware if you eating only for 2 or 3 people can consider to share.Quite oily and sweet which is normal cause is American style food thus the size.I feel like everyone can hear everything so be careful of ur convo cause many might hear ur tea 👀🤭Is a small diner la so expect some waiting time for a seat and for girl with long hair tie ur hair cause ur hair confirm smelly from the food air or can bring some dry shampoo or perfume.Tables kinda dirty cause they don’t wipe they just keep the plates and etcCan give it a try is not bad la 🤭
We ordered English Platter with pancake & mac & cheese. The mac & cheese tasted like the 2in1 from NTUC, it was so dry but the toast that came along was so good i would pay for the toast but not for the mac & cheese. As for the English platter the scramble egg, potato, pancake was the nice, but the sausage was horrendous. I would not go back again. Customer service was pretty poor & no service recovery. When visiting during weekend there is a 1.5hrs dining period, they're very strict about it even if you're not done with your food they would keep coming back to ask you to leave
came at 2.06pm & queued & due to high volume i was told to wait outside of the diner for 25mins which i agreed, by an indian lady (did not get her name). waited outside for 24 minutes, noticed other patrions getting in before us with the same pax. when she came to me, mentioned that i was lying when i said that she told me to wait outside. then told me that she was supposed to get my name & my booking which she did not ask me for & asked me why she did not take my name. which is nonsense because its her job. and kept saying that i was wrong and was lying to her face. this is absurd!! i waited for so long with high expectations but lousy service. lousy service = lousy food = lousy experience.
omg can’t believe i saw 小甘 from CB dogs eating angmoh food!! joji diner damn power
Great that it's 24 hours. Portions are a little big for me. Will return for the value.
Love everything there so much that went 2 days consecutively. Price reasonable and ac very strong. Highly recommended. Best of all, it’s 24hrs.
Ordered their blueberry pancakes, the portion of sauce was quite generous, great atmosphere to hang out late night
Loved the place! Mac and cheese was so goood, super cheesy and creamyPancakes were awesome too
Avoid coming here during peak hours or over the weekends. All other time periods, barely filled.No real complaints of the food at their prices. Judging by the deep color tone of the fried chicken at the next table, deep fat fryer shortening needs to be more frequently changed. Beef lamb chilli carne was a little on the dry side.Speedy food service. Quick table turn around.
Ok, wasn't expecting the wait to be so long. We waited about 40mins for 2 pax, while we heard groups of 4 or more had to wait 1.5hrs!! Cray cray, but such is life on a weekend evening. Take note that you don't just wait around when you arrive, but make sure you get the waiter to get you a queue number, cos if not, you might end up standing there for another 15 mins without realizing everyone else already has a number.Menu was larger than what I see on Google reviews, but no more rosti, and slightly more pricey. Nonetheless, price point is still lower than most restaurants and the food tastes pretty good, just like what I imagine it to be. Every dish was quite solid 🤩Mac & cheese (nubbad, $7.90) - 4/5Loaded tater tots ($8.90) - 5/5, biggg portion with generous toppings & so much more worth than ordering the sides, cos curly fries alone is already $7?Chicken waffle ($13.90) - 5/5, big portion which we couldn't finish in the end since we were two pax eating 3 mains haha. The waffle is solid good!! I would love to have the waffle with ice cream!! Haven't eaten a GOOD waffle for the longest time (esp when ice cream shops waffles have been so disappointing lately). So was just pleasantly surprised that every dish that came one after another was just, as expected + GOOD (cos sometimes yknow, just one dish is good or that waffle is tasteless or portion small etc).Strawberry lemonade was also nubbad ($5.90)All in all, though I wouldn't wait 40 mins again next to a busy road & smelling all the exhaust, but the food was worth the wait & at decent prices! 😆
Love the squid fritters. Would love to go back and try other stuff but will have to consider again when I think I have to take the cutleries/syrup/sauces from the table beside me makes it awkward and uncomfortable. Shows they're either not willing to spend on cutleries/syrup/ sauces nor set up tables and separate them when it's crowded. Sorry but you don't understand that we generally don't like to have to share and like privacies.
Joji’s dessert is very good especially their blueberry pancake.Mostly all day breakfast menu and food is better than most cafes.Price is reasonable, dining area is quite cramp but cosy and have the 60's american cafe feel.Place is always busy after 6pm and expect some waiting time.Have a few tables outdoor but too stuffy and noisy.Now open 24 hours.8/10
food was ok but service was terrible... staff rolled eyes @ me and the cleanliness was horrible!!!! big cockroach appeared right next to me. lost my appetite after seeing it & left.
Queue management system is non-existent. Severely understaffed with no front of house. Diners are left unaware of when they are next or if they are even in the Q
I ordered the "morning wood" but the menu didn't mention that it would come with gravy or jam. The staff sat us down then seemed to have forgotten about us. We didn't know the procedure for ordering or even getting a menu. Maybe it was just too busy? The food was nice though despite the menu not being clear. Please update it! Thanks!
The chicken and waffles were good with the maple syrup! Unlike other reviews that the waffle was too dry, I found it fluffy and it was alright taken alone or with the syrup. The loaded fries (in our case, tater tots) were good.Place is a little cramped, but reminds me of a classic American diner. Reasonable price points considering the food quality and portions.
Food was very good. However the aircon was super cold especially at the tables near the door entrance
Pricing wise quite reasonable. Waffle was quite dense, not the fluffy type, can be a little hard to swallow pairing it with the fried chicken. Chilli dog was average though the curly fries was quite nice.Squid fritters was alright. Dint really like the idea of some young ones hogging the seats. Drinks was a bit too sweet for us.
staff are friendly, food was served reasonable fast as almost full house at midnight.Overall, I really like what I eat, see, and feel. it's remain me of the good old days at bugis Billy bombers
Joji is a diner one would’ve missed if one would drive too fast along upper Serangoon road. It’s a 50’s cafe open 24/7 Address: 534 Upper Serangoon Road. Pancakes, waffles, steak and eggs, milkshakes etc all in good size portions. It’s usually packed and reservations is when you arrive and put your name and hp# down. Best time to go is after 2am or 2pm 😃
One of a kind in singapore and 24 hours too! Loved the cinnamon waffles. Chicken tasted like kfc and not dry! Husband loved the strawberry milkshake, personally not a fan. But it's a good place, recommended! But yeah, super greasy floor. Dear staff, please mop more often?
Retro looking restaurant, slightly out of the way, but still walkable from Serangoon station.Food is acceptable for such price, and considered that this is a cafe, price is very reasonable.We like the Mac and Cheese here.. also had the Rosti and Waffle with Chicken cutlet.Will be back again to try out others.Service wise, nothing bad, it's just touch and go type.
Mostly youngsters dining in this restaurant. I didn’t find the food delicious. The waffle was a bit too dry. Must add the syrup. The grilled chicken chop and potato cubes were a bit too salty. Bacon was too dry but the scrambled egg was ok.The food portion was very generous.. 👍🏻 and the price was affordable too. 👍
