I really enjoyed my experience at Go Jo. The staff was really nice and the food was excellent. We got the super vegetarian combo and it appeared that everything was made in house and very tasty. The coffee with accompanying incense was an interesting event. The decor is utilitarian but with an Ethiopian theme and the tables have glass tops with embroidered weavings. The biggest negative is that the restroom has a truck stop vibe and should be addressed. I'm shocked that the restaurant was empty when we came in for lunch on a Saturday as the quality of food was fantastic. It was a fun time and I'm looking forward to going again.

Had lunch there yesterday with a group of friends. Mesai, the host and owner was very accommodating. The food took a few minutes since there were a few of us but well worth the wait. She did not disappoint. We all liked what we ordered and the portions were large. Everyone wiped out their plates or should I say their enjeera. Highly recommend.

I have been there twice with my family. The lady who served us was so pleasant with a beautiful smile. The food was amazing!!! It was very clean and the musics was very enjoyable. We all loved the entire experience. My daughters said it’s a great place to go on a date.

Go Jo was good. I've had Ethiopian food once before, but I liked the taste at Go Jo better. Prices seemed very fair.

The food here is always transporting - very good flavors and a nice variety of options available. The samplers are a great deal (although portion size varies).

Amazing food, will definitely go back!! We got the family platter for 2 and it was enough feed 4 of us and still have left overs! You get a lot of great food for what you pay for. The server was also incredibly nice.

Very good food, I have never had Ethiopian food and I really liked it. I don't understand the few bad reviews, none of those things rang true. Some people are just mean spirited. The place was very clean, hospitable and service was excellent. Will go back. I ordered tea and the sampler for 2 people. I ate the whole thing myself and I am a large, fat man, I was so full! Was excellent.

Go Jo's was my first Ethiopian experience. I went in knowing nothing about the food and left pleasantly surprised. Very glad I stopped in. Thanks, Go Jo!

This is one of our family’s favorite Ethiopian spots. The family combo is large and suitable for 4 people easily. We always order extra injera. Highly recommend the vegetarian options and the Yebeg Tibs are also a favorite! We always argue about which vegetable dish is the best as they have so many good choices. Great little restaurant which has been around for years.

First time having Ethiopian food and it was AMAZING!! Shared the family combo platter with a friend and it was the best decision cause it allowed us to try a variety of foods. Owner is also super friendly and inviting. We let them know it was a first time there and they took the extra time to recommend some things for us to try. Will definitely be going back.
