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 yummy food here and portions are big and nice. Enjoyed my time here with my brother and daughter. Will definitely be back for more!
Great food. Aircon a little too cold 😂 which is something I never thought I would say in Singapore 😆
Went on a weekday evening, had to wait about 30mins to get a seat. Was very unimpressed by all the fried dishes - chicken and waffles + the Cajun squid were all completely overfried, resulting in a very tough texture and also very oily. Not sure if this is the standard as it’s my first time here. The smash burger and eggs ben were good though, and the strawberry lemonade was not too sweet. Overall slightly above average food at decent prices but not worth a special trip down. Would only visit if in the area
Went for breakfast at 7am, it was nice and empty. Had a latte and a grilled cheese. Hit the spot perfectly! This 24-hour place really lives up to being a diner.-----Better than expectedTried two variations of their all day breakfast for dinner, and surprisingly, my favourite part was their potatoes!The garlic bread was also very addictive. Pancakes were fluffy, with more syrup available in a jar at the table.Portion size was good, and each element of the breakfast was hearty - beans, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs.I felt it lived up to being diner food. Simple but well done, not trying to be fancy like another all day breakfast place I can think of that costs double.We also enjoyed the mac & cheese (the cheese had a bit of paprika in it I think - yum!), and a pink lemonade which had sugar on the rim. I was a bit jealous of the next table's milkshake, but I wasn't ready to pay almost $10 for one.Booth seats and brightly coloured interior also contributed to the diner-like atmosphere, though the slightly loud music was a bit much for me that evening.All in all, would come again for diner breakfast at night!
Pretty amazed by the American food served here! Free flow of Heinz sauces and maple syrup.Smashed Burger 10/10Chicken & Waffle 10/10Omelette & Hash 6/10Cold Cocoa 4/10Pink lemonade 9/10Avoid peak hours as there would be a Queue outside!
I’ve been traveling a while and wanted a American style breakfast so I came here the best omelettes that I’ve had in a long time good enough where I came back the second day
Great experience, lucky to be seated within 5 minutes.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 🥹
Very overrated and overhype. Food taste very basic, like the food I make at home even though I cant even cook.
came in earlier to skip the queue! order the star platter and the chicken waffle, mac&cheese and unexpected the food to arrive very fast. honestly the food was just okay, chicken could be more crispier as what i've expect and the macaroni turns out to be so soft that i can't finish. On the other hand, i like the ambiance and vibes here, as location aren't far with the mrt exit F serangoon. excellent service by the service crew
Just had the pancakesNot fluffy n insufficient blueberry n whip creamServer rejuected my request for additional whip cream n blueberryExtremely disappointed
Love the American vibes! Staffs are friendly and smiley! My daughter accidentally spilled her drink all over the table. 1 of their staff was really sweet and nice to gave her a new cup of drink! Thank you for the awesome service!
Very disappointed I am not allowed to add greens ($1.50) to Weiner & Hash when it's already an option for All Star Plate.And please include salads for sides. 🙏🏻I look forward to a new menu!
Came on a Friday evening for dinner and there was a long queue. Was informed that it would be a 1 hour wait. Went to Nex and the diner called when it was almost ready to seat us around an hour laterThe 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!
Reached there at 747am on a Saturday morning, it served as a good air con break after walking 4km. The place was quiet except for a family eating at a booth at the front next to the counter. 3 other booth tables were full of left overs of whole waffles, drinks and stuff. We took a table with chairs rather than our usual booth taking as all the ones facing each other were filled with trash and the rest were tiny one sided booths.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.
This place serves amazing food, has great service and overall a great place for both couples and friends to gather for a meal.
Good place to have a date. Food is great, so much that it will take time to finish. And time is required for a nice date. So... Best combination!
We woke up at about 6+am and wanted a good breakfast and so here we are for the first time. Joji’s Diner is open 24 hrs and when we reached at about 6.30am, we were the only ones there.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😊
Great tasting food, good and friendly service from staff, and a pleasant atmosphere
Horrible food chicken was burnt wife ate and we were disappointed we order hot tea but we got cold iced tea did not want to make a fuss as we were too tired. Food was over greasy
Lovely find in the midst of our bustling city. Very American style restaurant. Food is good. Just that it is quite pricey. But is a nice getaway for weekends.
Had the chicken and waffles + loaded fries, pretty average, not bad but not amazing. Wait time is about 30mins on a Monday evening. Decor is nice - Instagram worthy, staff are friendly, food is mid.
Dinner times can get really long waiting times. But the food is worth the wait. Their weiner and hash is my favorite item on the menu so far. I've been back there multiple times and after trying the other items, weiner and hash is still the undefeated champion. Their snacks are also pretty good like the Cajun squid fritters
Budget friendly American-style dining restaurant. The deco and design is special and unique.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.
staff gives conflicting details. Booked table for 2 but pair us with 2 strangers on a 4 seater. Very unprofessional. when a staff told us another set of seats are empty and ready for us to move, another staff told me we cant move as its for 4 pax, giving conflicting details saying. so unprofessional. not even an apology
Nested among the shophouses in a old stretch along Upper Serangoon Road, somehow fittingly matches its retro vibe, especially the menu which must have seen better days.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.
Ordered:- Farmer’s Plate for $22- Chicken Waffles for $13.8Restaurant 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!
The ambiance of the place is charming, reminiscent of the 1960s era just like Denny Family Restaurant and Magnolia Snack Bar. The food selection is decent, but it would be nice to have more options available, particularly at prices that are senior-friendly.
I certainly had a great time here. Great food, great service.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
Great American old school vibe.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.
I had the Pancakes with lamb sausages, roasted potatoes and eggs. Eggs were well done. Food was good. Portion was big for the price paid. Place is very busy like how a diner should be. Very new York diner themed vibes, including the toilets. However the only turn off is the 1 hour eating time, as food takes 10-15 mins to arrive and you only have 45 mins to eat and chat. Recommended only if you going solo or with 1 other friend. Not recommended for a big group. Service was good and polite.
Visited on an early quiet Saturday morning. Food and ambience are reminiscent of diners in small sleepy towns in US. If you go there expecting a sanitized version of an American diner, you will be disappointed. I enjoyed my meal here. Recommended to share portions. Very filling for breakfast. 🙂
Summary: It was average experience and taste.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.
ordered the All Star Plate and it arrived with a rather obvious long curly strand of hair on the scrambled eggs, baked beans and potatoes. They took it back without any explanation or apology and came back 5mins later with a new plate. Im not sure if they remade or just removed the hair but given the service, i didnt bother trying to ask for further action…
Went a few times but always have to queue so give up waiting. 1st time managed to get a seat within 30 mins. crowded, should be due to its open of 24 Hours & not too many seats space. Went close to 9pm but still have to wait about 20-30 mins. Food too salty, not to my liking. Waffles is not the crispy type. Floor quite dirty. Toilet quite dirty too. See a cockroach crawling on the floor next to our table.
We went there for dinner and approached the waiter to join the queue to be seated.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.
I tried the $13.90 chicken & waffle at this classic American diner-themed restaurant. The waffle was fluffy inside, but the chicken, although crispy, was somewhat dry. The portion size was fair for the price, but getting seats during lunch can be challenging due to crowds. Moreover, the restaurant has a noticeable smokey and oily smell that lingers and may cling to your clothes after your meal.
Everything is great and reminiscent of American diners.My only qualm is it's small space and since it's open 24/7 it might look very aged.
Came here looking for dessert. Will want to try their mains next! Heard their scrambled eggs are 👍🏻 Interior reminds me a lot of Billy Bombers, nostalgia! 🙂
Went for supper and noted pretty crowded but worth the wait for short whileThe portion is huge worth the money too
To be hornest, the food was decent. But they really need to work on the service experience. The ordering was an unpresent experience. Noted that there are 1 hours dine in limit. I barely finish my plate in less than 30mins and the server are already asking if they can clear up and giving the kind of stare like I should go already. The whoke experience was very unwelcoming.
The price is reasonable with their food portion given on some items. But overall, it is delicious 😋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. 😌
The cashier (young dude wearing glasses) should be let go due to poor service and a terrible attitude. When asked if I could order pancakes as a side dish, the cashier could only manage a curt ‘no’ response. Towards the end, he couldn't even tell me the bill amount. Instead, he lazily pointed to the screen and gave a death stare to inform me. The entire order process took less than a minute, yet he had the nerve to be so impatient, as if he was trying to drive me away.
24hr Good hangout place for youngster american food. Difficult to get parking. Love the strawberry puree drink n minty cucumber drink.
food’s mid at best but what’s worse is the queue system, seems like only way to get a seat is to get a queue number upon your arrival only to be told it takes 45mins to get seated, what am I gonna do at a residential road junction for 45 mins in the hot sun bro?
The staff were quick to give us a table after getting into the que. Food were all presented very well, and the taste was good enough to savour for the rest of the day. However the food was a bit oily than normal, but other than that the restaurant definitely has good vibes.
Gives off retro vibes, similar to watching a movie. space is constricted and service is quite slow as place was crowded. Do have to wait for quite a while in order to get a seat but attitudes of service staff was friendly and welcoming!! 🔥 The portion of the food are also quite generous‼️
The only thing good here is the food. Place is cramped, cold, air curtains cannot off. Was freezing when I was having my dinner. The coke was bad as it was stale (lao hong).
Place felt like those diners you alway see in movies, food was amazing and the servers were so polite. Atmosphere felt retro, with comic covers of old comic decorating the walls.
Swing by @jojisdiner whenever you want—they’re rocking 24/7! This place is buzzing with young vibes, and the decor totally channels Billy Bombers #iykyk.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.
There can be better instructions outside on whether free seating or wait to be seated. Food is nice, but service is very bad, which looks like it is due to shortage of manpower. Please put a sign outside telling customers whether is it free seating or someone will attend to them
Located just beside the road and the environment looks messy.The food is average and the service is not warm.
Food is great, came fast and worth the money.Service was superb and staff were really friendly and helpful.
Place is quite small so it's always full. Long queue and therefore expect to wait long before u can get a table, especially during peak hours.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.
So - so food. But good supper place late at night. Food was overdosed with sauces. Good for guys who love big portions but not exactly exquisite. But the price jusifties so it's fine. Place feels abit grimy could do with more bright lights, frequent clean up.
went for an early breakfast around 5am.compared to the last round the food tasted better.perhaps timings with last people are better.
Food was decent but lack flavour and overall abit too greasy. Understandably it is providing Singaporeans a glimpse of the American dinner style, thus ambiance and service is top notch. But overall a decent "try once" type of restaurant.
Great food, high quality ingredients, cool vibe. Felt like a US diner. Slightly odd music. We'll be back!
Place is small...food is so so. Price of food is decent. Long waiting time to dine inside because the place is small is crazy. Staff some are ok and some are not. I've asked the cashier for dessert recommendation doesn't even know or I dunno if she understood my question but I've repeated and rephrased it still she cannot answer. overall it's not that bad but just need more improvements
This is a place you go for atmosphere. Food is alright. Standard western diner style food. Comfort food hard to complain. Decent price.Gets really crowded with long Q at night. Come early if just want to try it out once.
🥞 Food: Is just as you expect! Greasy, savoury, sweet… don’t come here if you’re on a diet lol⏰ 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
Great food, friendly staffs :). Slightly louder music and colder temperature would have been greater.
Very American diner vibe (like what we see in the movies)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
Never bothered checking the order and whether or not they missed out on any items in said order. Damn cockup. Lazy say lazy. Dont work in food industry if y'all gonna be bochup like this. _|_
This is my 4th visit but my 1st time finally getting a table. This place only has limited tables and their biggest table only cater to 4 or 5 if u can squeeze. Always with long queue and long waiting time as they do not accept reservations at all even for non peak. This time, I called up at 12 noon to check for availability, I was told many empty tables but full with 2 groups waiting ahead of me when I reached 45 mins later. We chose to wait since we have a little time extra today.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 restaurant is pretty small, so be prepared to wait for an hour or more during peak hours. Once seated, the food arrived in about 20 minutes. The dishes are tasty and delicious (4 stars), and the service is average, nothing special (3 stars), especially considering the affordable prices. We love the atmosphere; it feels like a cozy American rest and relax spot along a country roadside (4 stars). We will be back again to try other dishes.
The server that sat us down was showing attitude when we kindly asked if we could change to a larger table. Throughout the entire meal, I could see him staring over occasionally. Absolutely poor service by that tall server without spectacles.
Service :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
Dont know what the hype is all about, food was cold when served, presentation was lacklustred with zero effort on the plating( almost looked so unappetizing) and service was mediocre..
Overrated.Food is ok. Too crowded on a Sunday evening. Service is slow.
I find the food delicious and the service is a bit slow but it is still good
Portion is pretty big, food is pretty yummy and greasy but not in the way that’ll make you hate yourself, place is grimey in the way you’d expect a diner to be. service can be slow because it’s pretty crowded. recommend the waffle set (add sausage), instead of the chicken & waffles which were pretty dry
Nice ambient and food was good. Was lively with the the music. Service was good, staff never fails to smile. Worth the money, had dinner with my 3 children and paid abt $80 only!
Food was delicious and prompt.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!
Bought the most basic dish $12.90. Potatos were tasty but too salty for my palette but guess it’s fine for the general customer, hope eggs was more, 2 lamb sausage which was tasty but abit tough. Pancakes was surprising thick and the butter was milked!!!#travelwithkenkish
Horrible service. Went at 1:45pm on Sunday. Went to sit at empty table as waited 5 mins at door and no one attended. Upon seated, Staff then came to our table to informed that only reservation as table are all fully taken. But there's 2 empty tables and no one standing and waiting there. Staff say have to wait for 30 -40 mins.. but there's nothing to walk around n yet empty table there still have to wait 30-40mins. Never go there again. Service sucks..
Long overdue visit to this joint.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.
Food is good. But we went on a Saturday night. Super long queue. My younger daughter insisted to queue for the food though I offered to go somewhere else. We waited for 1hr. I have never waited for restaurant more than 30mins. Fortunately, the food was served rather fast. I was hungry but the chicken waffle is good. Something I would go back for. Kids love the milkshake and the waffle. The restaurant was super packed and we finished the food in 30 mins as I cannot stand the noise from the table next to us. If we are going back, I would pick a weekday instead of weekend.
Saw this restaurant recommended online and decided to try it out.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 😅
Five stars for good service . Very good service attitude tall indian staff . Forgot to ask her name.
Nice food if u r those western Bfast lovers.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
American diner vibes, good food and very reasonably priced. Small space tho, so book a table or cater waiting time
Finally went to joji after it had opened for a few years. The decor is nice, the food names are creative, service is fast. Do expect to queue during peak meal hours. There is a 1 hour time limit during this period and the staff will check the receipt to kinda remind you. Which I find off putting as we are in the middle of a meal and it is the kitchen which is late.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.
Buy more waffle makers please. I’m sure you can afford it. Getting my order of waffles when everyone else at my table is done eating is not fun
The food is wonderful, reminiscent of a typical mom and pop diner in the Bronx 😂 (I miss the USA). Their rosti or hash is slightly less crispy than I would have preferred. The duck confit is great and not gamey in taste. The highlight would definitely be the chicken and waffles, where the aroma from the vanilla waffles is so appetizing, and the chicken is fried marvelously.
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. ✨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.
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. 👍
