Jo Ju Tofu Hot Pot - Burnaby, British Columbia

5 stars for Salt&Pepper Chicken on Rice, while not a go-to place for the Sausage and Ground Meat on Rice (esp. not the ground meat in the combo).

Best fried rice ever! We went there a bit late so there weren't a lot of people but I'm happy we went in because the food is nice for its price. The tobiko and unagi fried rice I ordered was super good and so is the spicy beef hotpot my ... friend got! They also have boba tea for 5.25 if you want it with pearls. The washroom is clean too. I would recommending checking it out if you don't know where to go! Read more

I have a feeling people come here for the family-run restaurant feel or because the menu prices are a bit lower. The food was surprisingly decent but i have concerns about the cleanliness inside. Too many free roaming flies. Why not get a fly zapper and swing it around once in a ... while? Read more

I went to this place randomly because the restauranted I wanted to go to was closed on holidays. The English name says hotpot and they do serve a lot of hotpot stuff, except it wasnt kept warm like normal Taiwanese hotpots. Just a stone bowl. I wanted to order the braised pork ... but they said they sold out of it so I opted for Kungpow chicken. The taste was good but the ingredients weren't standard and I've never seen a dish prepared like that. The set came with rice and soup (the soup was just miso soup) We also ordered the Taiwanese fried chicken nugget and the taste was good but the bowl had an oily bottom so at the end, the last pieces of chicken were soggy. One thing I found disappointing was that the rice they give you is very little. All Taiwanese places would give you a full bowl with a hump on top but this place was deflated, less that even the top of the rim. Needless to say, this place is not very authentic Taiwanese but it still has good flavor for home-cooking style dishes. There is one hour or two hour parking outside and to the side of the complex.

Friendly family-run restaurant, with very affordable pricing. I came to try it after my parents recommended. For the neighbourhood, I think its is a very good Taiwanese food place. Everything is relatively clean. The dishes I ordered all looked really well made (refer to photos I took). Definately need a second ... visit and trying new dishes to form better judgement. The hot pot dish so far is most worth. Read more
