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.

Really like their big juicy sausages and scrambled eggs. The duck confit was so soft it comes off without the knife.
Pity they don’t take reservation. The queue can get v long, so get there early. Dining is 1 hr during peak hours.
That said, you could tell the staff were trying their best despite the crowd—points for that.
As for the food, it was exactly what you’d expect from a retro American-style diner: comforting, greasy, and satisfying. Nothing particularly mind-blowing, but it hit the spot if you’re looking for something indulgent and filling. Think classic diner fare that’s not trying to be fancy—just familiar, sinful goodness. The drinks were also super delicious and refreshing to wash down the oil- highly recommend the Tropic Thunder especially!
Great for the vibes and a late-night craving, just not somewhere I’d queue up regularly for unless I was really in the mood.
Tried the famous Chicken & Waffle too, but that was a letdown. While the fried chicken itself was good, the waffle was too milky and overly sweet, making the sweet-savory combo fall flat. Wouldn’t order that again.
One heads-up: be prepared for a wait. We were lucky to get an outdoor table for two right away, but the queue for indoor seating was over 30 minutes.
All in all, a good experience. I’ll definitely be back—for that burger!
The food, however, is not great. There is no depth to the flavor, the predominant taste being overwhelming sweetness. Aside from the waffle — which was spongy rather than fluffy without any notable crisp on its surfaces — everything tasted as though fried or thawed from the supermarket frozen aisle.
#Not sure about midnight crowd but surely a place not to be missed since it's 24hrs! Where else can you and your buddies bunk in at wee hours for #CarboSpikeFeast#
This Place seems to be of familiar Vibes > as the '90s Billy Bombers.# Sorry GenZs, Billy Truck out of Spore during your Era.
An Interesting Stting arrangements for 2 pax which is ideal for "dating couples" ..... however bigger Groups > 4 pax might be disappointed by splitting tables.
Favorites: Smashed Burger paired with Chix&Waffles. Bacon's 🥓 add-ons with Banana MilkShake.
Food $ : average spent = $20 per pax.
Taste : If you are not a fan of Gamey Lamb... u might have to give it a miss. Chix was well seasoned while the waffles are rather plain. Perhaps more butter could be offered instead of just a pack.
Ambience: 8.8/10 , good for kids
Service: Team is friendly and spontaneous.
Will be back for other dishes ? : of Course!
Joji's Diner offers a mixed bag of experiences, but it throws in a fun, nostalgic twist! On the plus side, be prepared for generous portions across most of the menu. The waffle stands out with its perfectly crispy outer layer and soft, fluffy insides, although be aware that it does come pre-sweetened.
However, the calamari portion was notably small, which might leave some diners wanting more. The real disappointment was the grilled chicken chop, which was described as a good choice but unfortunately turned out to be dry and tough. Based on this experience, it's hard to recommend.
On a brighter note, the Farmer's Plate seems to be a better bet, particularly if you enjoy smoked salmon, as the portion was quite generous.
Adding to the diner's charm is the unexpected bonus of classic pinball machines that are free to play! This unique feature definitely adds a fun and retro vibe to the dining experience, offering a bit of entertainment while you wait for your food or after you've finished your meal.
Overall, Joji's Diner offers reasonable prices and some satisfying dishes, alongside a fun, free activity. It might be worth trying for the generous portions, the delightful waffle, and the chance to enjoy some vintage pinball, but perhaps steer clear of the grilled chicken.
Let's just say, that the food was pretty good with generous portion size (though still not quite the same as what you would get in America itself).
With a pretty diverse menu, I would definitely be returning to try their other offerings soon.
Anyways my favourite is their smash burger, double juicy patties with hint of lamb. Everything else is also delicious. Look at my review photos, all these are for the 4 of us. Around 30min wait during dinner time, recommend to go during off peak since it’s 24 hours.
Pretty small space, i need to sit next to each other with my friend for 2 pax seats
Pancake was pretty big (it has 3 slices)!! Pretty saucy though (u may ask tor separate sauce if you don’t like)
The vibe of the place is good. Liked their song choices 🎶
I'm just quite disappointed by the strawberry milkshake 😔
Was told that they didn't haven't rosti and instead I ordered their omelette and hash
The bacon was too crispy for my liking and I felt like the meal was average
The drink (mixed berries iced tea)was quite expensive at $4.90 second cheapest after coke
After gst and service charge my meal was $21.90
Sofa like chairs very comfortable but toilet was a bit disgusting.
Vintage vibes with old school music, just disappointed that the Mac and cheese was heated up in take away paper container which was obviously not healthy
After 10 minutes, I ask her where to wait? because there's two entrances. She replied to me, just wait. then I asked her again, how long is the waiting time?
she lost her patience talking to me, look , just wait and she still asked me that do you have any reservation? I was surprised, 10 minutes ago I mentioned to her that I don't have any reservation:as I said 10 minutes ago; why you asked me the same question again?!
then she showed me the list of customers waiting, What protocols are in place to ensure the restaurant's host respects customer' personal privacy? I guess she needs to go for training.
Food was alright, pancake was a lil’ plain for my liking, the mac n cheese wasn’t the best but the milkshake and chicken and waffles was pretty solid
The platter was alright too
Overall vibes and feels at the restaurant was cool, would recommend if you don’t have to queue and wait for 1-2 hours (try to avoid peak hours if possible)
My first time there with 3 other friends, and we ordered Chicken and Waffle, Cajun Squid, & Mac and Cheese to share. Food was good and like true American cuisine, very sinful. My friend ordered the All Star Plate, which looked pretty meh tbh (I could cook that myself). I ordered the Chicken Burger.
We didn't order any of the shakes as I heard it's very sweet😵💫
I think its a good try, may come again if Im near Nex, otherwise I personally wouldn't go out of my way to come here again
The chairs and desks are cute!
Good American atmosphere☆
It's very filling and will fill you up.
This is the place to go when you want to eat something hearty! !
Great food and their service staff are really friendly and helpful, especially the ones ushering/assisting on the registration.
Mac n cheese was alright. Garlic bread that came along with it was fantastic.
Brunch platter was good. Added the pork sausage.
I ordered the blueberry pancakes, chicken and waffles, and the smash burger.
For me, the pancakes were the star, even plain they were very delicious, and the blueberry compote is flavorful, the only thing I would change is in my opinion, the compote could be a bit more sour.
The chicken and waffles were pretty good, chicken still crispy and well seasoned when it arrived. But the chicken is very thin, some of the bites had no meat, just skin and breading. The waffles were nice and had a very strong cinnamon taste.
In terms of the burger, i opted to switch the curly fries for Cajun fries, I’m not sure on the portion size but there was very little given, despite that the Cajun fries are even $1 cheaper than the curly fries. The burger was well seasoned and tasty but it definitely needed a fresh taste and crispy texture. If there was some fresh vegetables it would have been great. During delivery the pickle was packaged inside the tinfoil with the burger, this meant that when I opened the package and took a bit, the pickle was hot. In my opinion a bit weird, made the pickle a bit strange to eat, would recommend that the pickle not be wrapped in the tinfoil with the burger next time.
All in all, good food! And even for delivery I thought the pricing wasn’t bad.
food also came really quickly, and service was efficient and friendly 🙂
THANK YOU GUYS!
We had the chicken and waffles and Mac and cheese with grilled chicken add on, and the banana cream pie and cucumber mint cooler. All were good, except for the following points.
The grilled chicken was an add on to the Mac and cheese, but it was served way ahead of the Mac and cheese. So the chicken was already cold when the Mac and cheese arrived.
The Mac and cheese is placed under mains, but I think it should be served as a side dish given the size. I think the portions were small, and it could use a sharper cheddar.
Will come back to try the sandwiches next door.
We would like to compliment one staff for being very accommodative, especially Ira, who lent a helping hand helping us handle our girl when she became chaotic.
We believe that smiling and the nature of willingness to assist could be the metaphor of your company and thus it shows up among your staff! Thank you very much for being inclusive.
Ordered Famer’s Market, was so good!
Highlight of my trip down here is the wait staff are so pleasant and friendly. Makes the whole experience better, thank you to all the staff working on 29 Dec 2024.
I wish that they had root beer or root beer float on the menu though! The milkshakes are delicious, not as gelat as the ones at BlackTap which is a bit overbearing, you can finish it nicely on top of your meal.
Squid came battered to perfection with spicy sauce on the side, mouthwatering 10/10.
Definitely wouldn’t mind coming back in future.
Staff service could have been better, seats were cramped and noisy tho
In my opinion -
Limited seats = long queue + limited eating time = not enough time to sit and chill.
The food is over-hyped. Half the menu is brunch, the other half is limited. Food was OK, not something I'd queue for or a must-go.
We tried the slapjack fry-up and smash burger.
Both were mediocre.
Parallel Parking available.
Very chill, sadly was take away services was quite bad seems to not be local waiter / waitress room for improvement
However, when I looked at the menu, none of the items matched what I had seen in reviews. Confused, I asked the staff about it and was told I was actually at Joji’s Sandwich Parlour—a new 24-hour café opened by the same team behind Joji’s Diner. Apparently, if I wanted to order from Joji’s Diner’s menu, I had to go next door and take away.
This was extremely frustrating. How would I know that the two shops served entirely different menus, especially as a first-time customer? To make matters worse, my boyfriend had already placed an order at the Sandwich Parlour. This meant I either had to wait for him to finish eating before we could move to the Diner or just skip my meal entirely.
When we finally went to Joji’s Diner, I asked if I could order something I had seen in a picture on Google reviews. The staff responded that I had to order from the menu because they didn’t know how to identify the dish from the photo. WHAT? How does a restaurant not recognize its own food, especially if it’s featured in a review that likely attracted me there in the first place?
The lack of clear signage, staff training, and basic customer service is baffling. The whole experience felt chaotic and disorganized. My boyfriend finished his food at the Sandwich Parlour, and we left without even trying the food from Joji’s Diner.
Safe to say, I won’t be coming back.
they have free flow maple syrup !! portions are huge too. 1 main and 1 side is good enough for 2 people.
chicken and waffles were good. waffles are cake-y in texture. fried chicken fried to perfection.
The food was very bland. The bratwurst was not pork but chicken because it was very light color and falsely described as pork. I'm from America and know what real pork sausage tastes and looks like. Also the eggs weren't real. They tasted very gooey almost like imitation powdered eggs. The only thing good was the pancakes and orange juice.
Atmosphere is neither disappointing nor special, deco is interesting and place is generally clean and not sticky or dusty.
Oh and don't expect the kind of customer service you see in American shows, sg has no tipping culture.
**Food:**
The food portion was good, and the taste was absolutely delightful. Me and my partner ordered the Classic Reuben and Cod Sanwich. Each dish was well-prepared and flavorful, making the dining experience enjoyable from a culinary standpoint. I also ordered their flat white and to my surprise, it was really good.
**Ambiance:**
While the food was impressive, the overall dining experience was unfortunately affected by the presence of houseflies. It seemed that the main door was left open, which likely contributed to this issue. This detracted from the otherwise pleasant atmosphere of the restaurant. Air conditioning was also very cold.
**Service:**
The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring that we had everything we needed. Their warm hospitality was much appreciated.
**Overall:**
While the quality of the food and the service were commendable, the presence of houseflies did mar the dining experience. I would recommend the restaurant for its delicious food, but I hope they address the issue with the main door to ensure a more comfortable dining environment in the future.
Might need to queue at times. During peak hour, queue is expected. This is not an upmarket place. It is a good place to grab a quick meal. Not suitable for cafe connoisseurs.
Staff members are responsive and helpful. Been here a couple of times. Will be back again 🌟
Strawberry Paddlepop Milkshake was nice and creamy! Only thing I have to say is service staff are pretty young so abit of training on how to speak to customers would be great. Overall we would definitely be back!
The taste of food was disappointing as I am a big fan for American burgers.
I appreciate it is a busy diner and clearly indicates a 1 hour dining limit. However when we are still consuming our food / drinks and asked to leave - yikes. Perhaps a more tactful approach would be to "give a 10min notice" to finish their meal and conversation versus interrupting and asking us to "leave right now since there were 10 people waiting for a table". This whole ending to our dining experience also failed to consider the wrong meal was brought out which resulted in another 10-15min wait to begin eating.
ordered the slapjack fry up and food was served within 10 minutes. it was quite filling which is great. service was good too
Disappointed with the staff when I was there for lunch. Order the food at 12.30pm, as the restaurant is packed with diners, the 2nd dish waffle chicken was served 20mins later, 12.50pm. Because there is this protocol that the restaurant do not encourage diners to stay more then an 1hour for food, I was reminded to leave at 1.30pm. I have yet to finished my earl grey drink and my partner has only just finished her waffle chicken as it was serve at 12.50pm, how do you expect us to finished the big serving waffle chicken in 30mins along with the drinks?
The management should look into this and exercise more discrete and patience during peak hours.
When you expect diner to honour the dining duration, please also be kind enough to served your dishes in timely order.
We went around 9ishpm (after dinner time) so we didn’t have to wait long before being seated. Definitely recommend to try !
Definitely a very American diner vibe, so close to what you see in the movies and on TV. Expect the Fonz to walk in any time. They are doing very well, having opened a sandwich bar in the next unit. The place was packed at 1130 on a Sunday.
Yes, the reviews were right, the prices are high for the neighbourhood, more city. Especially the drinks which are nearly all over five bucks. Ordered the All Star Plate.
The food came very fast, maybe five minutes. First impressions, quite generous. The sausage was the star, big, juicy, tasty. Makes up for the scrawny bacon, see pix. The baked beans were in a chili sauce with luncheon meat, didn't fancy that. The rest were pretty standard.
Would I come back again? Maybe. Quite a wide menu, would like to try their chicken and waffles, and smashed burger. Drinks, get from the coffee shop next door!
Recommend to get the food but try to avoid the drinks because ive tried so many of their drinks all disappointing. Literally 1 sip and i didnt touch the drink throughout dinner. If really parched then no choice at your own risk but they provide water so its really good i love restaurants that provide water without charges 🩷
Will definitely be back great spot for dating or hanging out with friends!
It really feels like a Diner, food is fast as well and worth the price !!
highly recommend
Food is well seasoned, tasty and very reasonably priced. I had the Chicken Waffle, Belo Burger and Cajun Squid Fritters. They were great and are highly recommended. Oh, and the servings are really big! Water is only served if you ask for it, but it's complimentary. Service was prompt and polite. The place is a bit tight so best to make reservations or come early.
Decor was generally on point too and not too gaudy.
Staff is good, they are attentive and answer you in a pleasant way.
Food has generous portions considering the price of most items is below $15.
Environment is pretty authentic too with the classic American diner vibe.
Inside seating is full if you go on peak hours but you might have a chance to sit outside. Will def go back to try other stuff!
If you’re a beef lover, you have to try their Classic Reuben. The beef is juicy and tender, packed into a flavorful burger that’s just unforgettable. Highly recommend both dishes!
Food: huge portion sizes just like America. As an American the food quality of the dishes were very spot on which mad me think the owner or chef is from the US. Chilli cheese fries were my favorite. Ribs were super tender but they need some salt rub as the bbq sauce falls off. We got a sandwich but it was a bit too salty. Cornbread was good (not too dry). Next time I want to try the milkshake.
The crowd do come for dinner so make a reservation or come early😇
Their big Sign Board is hard to miss .. unless you are driving too fast ...
Public Parking is limited by a few lots ... another option will be to find HDB Parking nearby or park at Nex.
Had a late brunch .. ordered their Specialty Classic Reuben, with Pico de Gallo and Potato Mash - Well arranged and delicious !!!
Chef's Salad came in a big bowl, enough for 2 to share ...
I had their Long Black coffee ... strong and aromatic - only mistake is that I ordered too early .. and by the time I ended the meal, the coffee was cold ... it would have tasted best, hot and ordered after meals.
Their Noice Grape Drink is refreshing with fresh grapes and soda.
Ordered their specialty dessert, Granny's Carrot Cake, with vanilla ice cream ... although a small slice, it packs a punch !
This place is popular with younger crowds, couples .... but also ideal for family for a quick bite to go ....
Staffs are Friendly and Helpful ... good service !+!
Mac and cheese, scrambled egg were alright, nth special about them 5.5/10
Fried squid, was a little tough but the sauce was nice. 6/10, nice as an appetiser to start off with
Side note, the waffles are the kind that slightly crunchy like the ones they serve in waffle ice cream dessert shops
So you might have to wait if you see inside sitting is full.... But overall... Not bad....
I had the signature burger at $15 and steak at $24. Highly recommend getting both. The burger bun is oily as heck so be prepared to have some tissues around. Steak comes with rösti and that was a surprise since it wasn’t indicated in the menu.
There’s parking around the area as well, the front has free night parking.
Will definitely come back.
My only complaint would be that the restaurant is too cold. I also saw a large tissue pile of tissue paper covered in shit on the floor when I went to wash my hands at the toilet.
Service was 3, but i do not blame them as they seem pretty new to the job thus the confusion but alls good. atmosphere was good and i wouldve given 5star until a baby started screaming. dont blame me or the place. blame the baby
Joji’s Diner clearly draws inspiration from that nostalgic vibe. I might be off base, but I have a hunch that the owner or one of the team members is in their mid-40s. The decor and atmosphere are spot on, transporting you to a whimsical slice of American culture. (or pie?)
As for the food, it’s good and straightforward, easy to enjoy without any fuss. However, the menu is a bit limited, featuring just two milkshake flavors, one type of burger, and a single grilled cheese option. But the real highlight? The desserts! Oh my goodness, they are absolutely glorious! Why? Because they’re wonderfully simple! The blueberry pancakes come with the option of a scoop (or two) of vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry ice cream. The pancakes are cold on top where the ice cream rests, while the bottom layer is warm and fluffy. Definitely worth every extra calorie!
The only thing I’d suggest adding are some tunes and themed staff uniforms. Come on, Joji’s Diner—go all in! I absolutely love it!
The food was delicious, sinful and scrumptious. I would definitely come back again just to try the other delights they had in the menu. Its so wonderful to have breakfast anytime of the day. If you're on a cheat day, Joji's is the place to be!
This place reminded me of Billy Bomber.
We ordered Morning Woods, Omelette and Hash, and Wayside Waffles.
Out of the three mains, we all agree that Morning Woods was really good. We like the mash potato, the mushroom, and the sausages (which is not too salty). We also like the waffles but thought the bacon's taste good but were a bit dry. As for the Cheese Omelette, our views were divided on the cheese filling. It might be good to have cheese options.
Overall, it was a pleasant meal with a great serving size. We will visit again
We noticed quick a few diners order the chicken and waffles. We will give a try on the next visit.
This place has the winning combination of being a 24 hour place and affordable western food! Definitely a gem and great place to bring friends or dates. There are parking lots not too far away from the place.
Food wise was near SHIT for one of the dishes. The calamari was so overfried that we left so many pieces uneaten. Refer to photos. The main 'all star plate' portion was generous. But some ingredients were off. Beans OK. Scrambled egg OK. Bacon is sadly not crpisy, cube potatoes were the worse. Dried and some unedible. Mushroom sliced and hard. Pancake was not fluffy. Hot dog seems abit overdone.
Will probably come back for the vibe or when at night no where to go.
Cheese well like by my gals. I had the waffles & chicken , loves the chicken very crispy. Overall nice place for lunch , portion just nice. Definitely will be back to try others dish on the menu.
The restaurant ambience is pretty cozy. Food portion is pretty huge. If you are a small eater, recommend that u order one and share with your friend.
The chicken is tender and juicy, waffle with maple syrup give it a nice sweet and savoury combination.
Pancakes are soft and quite thick. Goes well the maple syrup.
The fried squid is just ok, taste like those u can find in donki.
Overall recommend for the price point and the experience.
Unsure if we’d come back again, food was good but service definitely sucked.
Do raise Medhni pay or role! I have been here so many times and her service is consistently amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
When pancake arrived, it is absolutely HORRIBLE. just save your time and money, don’t ever come here.
The food is American diner food, very generous in portion. Taste wise it was OK. The grilled cheese sandwich oddly came with beef chili inside the sandwich, making it a lot heavier and completely hiding the taste of the cheese. The mac and cheese was pretty good, with a lovely crust, but also too much of the same thing after a few bites. The blueberry pancakes were massive, and the blueberry syrup rather synthetic and sweet, unfortunately. Our friends ordered the omelette, which was great, and apparently their chicken and waffles are very good as well.
Fuss free ordering at the counter, but I wonder why we had to pay service charge when there were minimal service at the tables.
I would love to come back here again and try more of their food, loved the waffles, pancakes and sausages - juicy and tasty! Chicken was moist inside but well seasoned and crispy fried outside! We had a few of the cold teas - mixed berries and earl grey, and all the drinks were real thirst quenchers, exactly how much tall drinks I always wanted, but never got until today! Thank you for the fast and friendly service too!
The food item is big in portion and flavourful.
I like their Cajun Squid Fritters, fries and popcorn chicken.
Despite their chicken waffles being the most popular main, I decided to get their Slapjack Fry-Up . For dessert, I had their Blueberry Pancake and a Strawberry Milkshake.
Slapjack Fry (Main)- classic scrambled eggs with pork sausages and buttermilk pancakes. Very delicious although the buttermilk pancakes are too thick for my liking.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Blueberry Pancakes (dessert)- sautéed blueberries, 2 buttermilk pancakes and whipped cream. Similar cooking style to Cherry jubilee. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Strawberry milkshake - pre made Strawberry syrup with whipped cream and frozen strawberries. Not too fond of this one because it has a very artificially sweet flavour. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
All star plate - Pancakes were really good, fluffy and buttery. Sausage was thick and chunky. Mushrooms were slightly garlicky, baked beans look homemade. Hash brown cubes were well seasoned and fried. Scrambled eggs were soft and fluffy. Solid plate of food.
The chicken waffles were okay, but they would benefit from a signature sauce to elevate the flavor.
As for the 'MORNING WOOD' dish, the pork sausage portion was satisfactory, though the taste left much to be desired.
Service time was reasonable, with only a short wait for the food to arrive.
The menu is straightforward and classic, though it lacks visuals, so you'll need to rely on descriptions to imagine the dishes.
Unfortunately, the drinks fell short and were below expectations.
Food is good and portion is huge.
24hours is a plus!
SlapJack Fry-up - the Pancakes kind of dry and use margarine instead of butter. Can skip pancake dish
All star plate - don’t add grilled chicken very dry
Sides ordered Chicken pops and tatertots ( both very good)
Other all enjoy the food will visit again
1. Waiting in queue for about 40 minutes and registered our names within their iPad. However, we were disappointed to see a bunch of patrons that registered after us get their tables first, despite us being physically in the queue.
2. We were first given the 4-seater bench tables at the side. Before we even sat down, service staff told us to be ready to shift to the middle 2-seaters later during the dinner service (I'm perplexed af?) since we were only 2 people. This was explained terribly and is extremely off-putting, but we decided to stay and give Joji's a chance since we already made the trip.
3. Without warning, staff had asked us to vacate our seats within 5 mins, even though we still had a a lot of food left. We were not made aware of the 1 hour dining time and it caught us off guard. We had to rush down our food or risk wasting a lot of it from having to leave within that 1 hour period.
I love Joji's food. However, service was downright disappointing and it soured our experience coming there. I can only hope that their service is better during off-peak hours or they fix it by actually training their staff to be more communicative and sensitive to customers. Until then, once is enough.
warning: i would not recommend going at dinner time whatsoever (6-9pm). horrible waiting times, staff are trying to turnover the tables quickly so they rush you out of the seat. the 1 hour dining time is a bit ridiculous, maybe 1h 15min would be good considering the waiting time for the food as well. queue system needs to be fixed and solidified. my party of 2 was let in after some others that came after us despite being registered first on the ipad.
They are open 24/7 too.
will be back for more.
The menu that I used to order food and drink was vibrant with colour and rife of personality, which included a QR code that lead to a hilarious joke even in this day and age.
So was the interior and exterior of the diner whose decor reminded me of an American diner in the 50's accompanied by the leather red and white chairs and black and white checkered floor.
A few moments after my order which didn't take too long, a staff member cheerily served me the food that I ordered.
The food was quite delicious and to my liking!
I would definitely want to come back here again for a meal.
Restaurant is quite small with limited seating capacity.
Food wise is not bad; the only thing is that the curly fries is not crispy- it was soggy and oily.
Food - easy 5*
Ambiance - 6*
Service - was busy, still 5*
Authenticity - 5* considering available ingredients.
Price/value - 5*
Wayside waffle will be my go-to; absolutely delicious. Great pancakes and eggs as well.
Only thing I would change would be to add a simple, cheaper pancake side dish top up option.
The milkshakes are thick and creamy, and the portions are generous. Their breakfast options are also worth a try—pancakes, eggs, bacon, all done just right.
However, one thing to keep in mind is the wait time during peak hours. When I visited during the dinner rush, the wait was about 45 minutes to an hour. While the long wait was a bit frustrating, it’s clear that Joji's is popular for a reason, and the food was worth it.
Purposely went at 8am to avoid the obnoxiously long peak wait times which you can only queue-register in person, and there is nothing in the vicinity to really roam about for to kill time. There is Woodleigh Mall or NeX which is about 2 bus stop distance away. Even on a Sat at 11am and the wait times were already 30 minutes long, and the waiting area outside is quite narrow.
Food
Tried the All Star Plate and it was worth. Get the french toast for the choice of bread. For drinks, I tried the Hot Chocolate, not that worth imo and would not order again.
Interior and Ambience
Really cold for some reason, bring a jacket or you'll freeze. There's maybe only 1 or 2 tables that's not facing the Aircon wind.
Prices
One person's meal + drink summed up to $20+ due to restaurant charging service charge and cafe priced drinks.
Overall
Would come again for their food and ambience, best time to come would be off peak hours
I love the diner's classic American decor; it really gives off a nostalgic vibe. However, the random hole in the wall covered with posters makes me wonder what's going on.The menu is old, tattered, and filthy, which is a bit off-putting. The selection is interesting, though. I ordered the chili dog, but it was too soggy to pick up and eat. The taste was average at best. I hope they expand their drink options.
Despite the mixed experience, I might swing by again to try other items on the menu.
Place is abit cramped when it gets busy. Overall is great!
Food is good
Atmosphere is good too.
Definitely will come back again
Decided that it was one bad experience and gave it another chance. Went to Joji's for supper expecting a better experience. I ordered the breakfast platter at around and added a grilled chicken. The food served was cold and the chicken was hard. Could tell that it was left out for a few hours as it tasted cold and stale.
Smashed Burger 10/10
Chicken & Waffle 10/10
Omelette & Hash 6/10
Cold Cocoa 4/10
Pink lemonade 9/10
Avoid peak hours as there would be a Queue outside!
Generous portion.
Loved the pancakes, I would eat more if I had the capacity for that.
Will definitely be back to try more items.
Really looking forward to the steak and eggs 🥹
Not fluffy n insufficient blueberry n whip cream
Server rejuected my request for additional whip cream n blueberry
Extremely disappointed
And please include salads for sides. 🙏🏻
I look forward to a new menu!
The food was great! In pictures: Loaded spuds (got the tatertots option). Farmers plate (has scrambled eggs, potato chunks, garlic bread, smoked salmon, sausage, minced beef) and a rosti (with sausage and egg). All three items were delicious, portions were generous and worth for the price!
Got the chocolate milkshake with donut. Not very thick and the chocolate flavour was mild.
Will come back again!
Went to the counter ordered a omelette and added with smoked salmon, $19.66 (inclusive of 10% service charge, and 9% GST). There were at least 5 staff around, but they would rather sit around the kitchen area to chat than clear the tables in the dining area. At about 8am the food came, looks good, taste good, but they didn't serve the cutlery so we had to go to another table to take.
Then I went to toilet as we still have a distance to go. I am normally fast, but this time I took a minute to find the lock even though there was a sign. Toilet was clean, just... if you can't bend or squat, don't use, because you can't lock the door. There was also no place to put my phone, so as a female, I stuffed it into..... After the visit to the toilet, we proceeded to leave. The 3 booth tables are still full with trash. Customers had increased by another 2 tables. A note to F&B staff, if a diner like me sees leftovers, I know that the item is not worth ordering. If I was a staff there, I would have cleared it even at the point of the customer leaving.
Can come again. But really not sure why we are paying for the service. Except by ... law.
Ordered 4 All Star Plate, with my two boys adding on a grilled chicken each. The serving, without the grilled chicken was already very generous with baked beans, bacon strips, scrambled eggs, a sausage, baked potato chunks and toast. The food was served hot as they prepare on order. The Interior deco has vibes of an American cafe and tables are pretty well spaced apart, definitely no exam hall feel lol Overall, the cafe was clean and cosy.
The service crew were friendly and efficient. It was a lovely breakfast and we felt that it was worth the price as very few cafes are open at that hour and the serving size was also generous.
Personally, I would go again for an early morning breakfast together with my family😊
It’s almost always fully packed with customers, so the tendency of being arranged to sit on the aisle by placing an extra chair along the walk way is high. Even if I tried to move as close as possible to the table, anyone passing behind me will still bumped into the back of my chair affecting my dining comfort.
Apart from that, food is good and affordable. Ambience is a plus point.
Had their Smash Burger which featured prominently in the menu yet it's probably not their best dish. It wasn't a bad burger and the two patties were authentically smashed thin but it wasn't charred enough and given its over greasiness, it felt as though there's only one thick patty instead of two thin slices sandwiched in between the buns. It was so overwhelmingly jelak half way through the burger that I appreciated the whole piece of pickle given as it really helps toning down the nausea.
- Farmer’s Plate for $22
- Chicken Waffles for $13.8
Restaurant almost filled when we reach at 12pm on a weekday. This place has the charm of an old-school American fast food restaurant.The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The best part? It's open 24 hours. Really enjoyed my meal and the overall experience!
Chicken waffles was excellent. Batter and marination of the chicken cutlet was tasty, crunchy and juicy.
Blueberry pancake was enjoyable. Lava cake was punched with intense chocolaty flavour and lastly, the loaded fries was sinful yet addictive.
Service staff was attentive and friendly. Very accommodating and pleasant towards families. I’ll be back again soon to try other dishes. Kudos to everyone there
Food overall was OK-ish, grilled chicken was dry. Smash beef burger not bad, watermelon orange drink nice. Price decent.
Probably won't be back so soon.
Food was pretty basic in taste, and the presentation was normal as well.
Pricing vs portion: it is on the mid-high side.
Service: Counter was polite.
Concept was American and good idea, but it does not provide the vibe and food experience.
The decoration was in line with the American diner theme, but the restaurant was quite small and the ambience was rather noisy. The air conditioner was too strong and a few other diners complained about the temperature. Do bring a jacket if you plan to come here.
Food-wise, the chicken waffles was nice. Duck confit was average.
My only qualm is it's small space and since it's open 24/7 it might look very aged.
The portion is huge worth the money too
Staff there was friendly, and the food served was kinda quick as well.
Just that the waiting time for the Q can be quite long as the seatings are quite limited.
Especially if coming with big groups, the waiting time can be even longer .
But still worth trying them out if you haven't. 😌
You’ve got to try the Morning Wood on the menu. Juicy portobello… so yum.
They’re pet-friendly too! Spotted a few times of pet lovers hanging out with their dogs at the alfresco seating.
Folllw reviewikr on Instagram and Facebook for more reviews.
The food is average and the service is not warm.
Service was superb and staff were really friendly and helpful.
Foodwise, it's mainly breakfast on the menu 24/7. Food is ok but ambience is nice if you're into American diner style decor.
compared to the last round the food tasted better.
perhaps timings with last people are better.
Gets really crowded with long Q at night. Come early if just want to try it out once.
⏰ Crowd: We visited at 9pm on a Monday night and had to wait about 30min to be seated
🚗 Parking: One of the other reviewers here helpfully recommended the HDB carpark at Blk 403. Great suggestion as roadside parking outside the cafe is limited
They're quite strict on the 1hr dining time. Can consider coming during the off peak hours.
The portion is big for its price.
I waited 1hr, though it's nice that they give a heads up
U have to place order at the counter and pay but they serve the food to your table.
Food was average and chicken a little over fried but flavourful. Drinks we ordered Mocha and iced chocolate both a little diluted even when it's first served, not worth the price.
Good thing about the menu you are able to choose the different dishes for your own platter.
Limited parking too and they do not accept reservations, only walk-ins. Small restaurant cramp though nice deco. Not worth the time, imo.
The service could have been better with more information given on how to reserve a spot or book in advance. There were confusion between the counter crew and waiter.
(I personally feel that the restaurant do not deserve service charge because there was no service rendered at all)
Food & Drinks :
Fresh OJ, freshly squeezed orange juice was refreshing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
All Star Plate, food was served cold and presentation was not good. ⭐
Chicken & Waffle, a fan of good old classic chicken and waffles; delicious and crispy both on the waffles and chicken. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Atmosphere :
Would have been a whole lot better with a structured system. Definitely worth the hype for younger generation who have never experienced dining in an all American restaurant.
Overall : 3/5
Food is ok. Too crowded on a Sunday evening. Service is slow.
Portions are huge.
We had the sausage and mash plate and the flapjacks.
The cucumber mint cooler was refreshing and delicious. Likewise the mixed berry tea, though it was rather light.
The service staff were a little standoffish we felt. When we wanted to order the chicken and waffles we were told that it would take 50 minutes.
However a few diners after us were being served that shortly after.
But we would still return to sample other things on the menu. Lovely interior as well.
Come early to get a seat!

I had the chicken and waffle while my wife had the sausage, eggs and pancakes.
Chicken was deep fried and crunchy with a flavourful taste of every bite.
The waffle was good too with cinnamon flavor to the whole experience.
The sausage was really good complimented by the soft tender eggs. The pancakes were delicious too.
Finally we had the Lava cake which was very chocolaty.
Finally the drinks we had also complimented our food tastefully. Overall good experience.
One qualm was the staff attention to details.
We specifically told them to serve the starters, which was the flame grilled chicken, but that came last with no apologies or updates untill we had to ask for it several times.
They had ample staff to manage the place, but I don't think there was a manager to lead the team. Maybe I missed it. But it did affect the overall experience.
Tried the waffle and chicken, sausage with portobello mushroom, Mac and Cheese, Cucumber cooler and strawberry cooler.
I thought that the food tasted just alright. It’s definitely not inedible, but also not one that excites you that makes you die die must come back.
For example, fried chicken was decent, but the waffle was a little thick and dry, making it hard to go through. Thanks to the free flow maple syrup though, it certainly helped the dish.
For the Mac and Cheese, I find that the cheese was a little ‘muted’? Doesn’t have that kind of cheesiness and creaminess that after you bite through it, you go like wow. The M&C was also not seasoned well, hence, prepare to grind some salt and pepper!
The drinks were also, in my opinion, not that good. Maybe because I expected it to be slightly sweet. It need not be a cut leg sweet, but at least some sweetness. It was totally devoid of any sweetness at all, making it a hard swallow.
Price wise, spent about $60ish for 2 pax? I mean, it’s not too badly priced, quite reasonable.
But yes, had the food been more tasty, I’ll more willingly recommend this place, otherwise, it’s quite a tough call 😅
Extremely nice decor n vibes as well.
Damn long since i came n happy to be back.
Food is just as good and now its even 24 hours. Wow i wonder hows the crowd at night thou.
Will pop by again to visit
Food wise the taste are so so but it's very fulling. Didn't have any more space to squeeze in dessert. Will go back again just to try the dessert. But I did have The strawberry milkshake and is great.
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 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
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. ✨
Update:
Have ordered grabfood delivery from them and the portions are still consistent and very large! Staff put in chilli and tomato ketchup without asking and it did not leak, only worry is that the lid might be too loose and it is easy for the lid to come undone if not hung on the door gate well.
waffles bad. coffee bad. rosti bad. mac and cheese bad.
bad bad bad
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.
Blueberry pancake was too sour for our liking.
👍 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 SG
Meal 1: Steak & Eggs ⭐️~ $24
The whole meal was super dry. At least they go the medium rare part correct
Meal 2: All Star Platter ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ~$15.90
Potato wedges & scrambled eggs were decent
Mushroom 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 Latte
Too 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
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 👍
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.
The fried squid was good but I note that sometimes it can get over fried. Sauce was yummy though.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This just doesn't make any sense
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.
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 etc
Can give it a try is not bad la 🤭
Pancakes were awesome too
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.
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) - 4/5
Loaded 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! 😆
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
Place is a little cramped, but reminds me of a classic American diner. Reasonable price points considering the food quality and portions.
Overall, I really like what I eat, see, and feel. it's remain me of the good old days at bugis Billy bombers
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.
The food portion was very generous.. 👍🏻 and the price was affordable too. 👍
