One of my favorite restaurants in the Bay area. Great food and enviroment. I always get my order family style for my partner and I to share. I recommend taking the recommendations from the owners on what to order. The Alicha Wot was absoluetly amazing. Every time we go here the food is superb and very flavorful. 10/10

The food and service was wonderful. We went on Saturday night and were the only people there, but I don’t know why…definitely a hidden gem! The food and service was excellent. Every dish was delicious, hard to pick a favorite! The family that runs it is so kind, and genuine. The decor is great!

I was traveling and happened to find GoJo, and I'm so glad I did! There are no Ethiopian food options within an hour and a half of where I live, so discovering this incredible restaurant was such a treat. I ordered takeout this time--the vegetarian combo, the meat combo, and their special kitfo--and every dish was absolutely phenomenal. I can't wait to dine in person next time! The flavors in every bite were bold, vibrant, and perfectly balanced--you can truly taste the love and care that went into making each dish. My tastebuds were literally dancing with joy! On top of the amazing food, the owners are the absolute epitome of hospitality and kindness. Even with takeout, I could feel how much they care about their customers, and I know the in-person experience will be even better. GoJo i
