Joa Korean Food

About

Joa Korean Food on Providence Road in south Charlotte is a scratch kitchen where the staff greet you, walk you through the dishes and make recommendations before you order. Kimbap here is the item people drive for, rolled fresh to order even for pickup. The kimchi pancake, spicy squid, spicy chicken, bulgogi and pajeon all come out made from scratch, and the house pickles get singled out on their own.

What to know

  • Pickup orders can take longer than quoted because everything is made fresh.
  • Galbi portions have drawn comments for being light on meat.
  • Diners raised on Korean food say the kimchi is not fermented long.
  • The restaurant is closed on Saturday, which is unusual.
