    Since this was a Tuesday we opted for NYAJ's special dinner offer. You get one starter, 2 entrees and 1 desert for $50. You can also opt for one bottle of wine and 2 entrees for $50. We started with the tuna wontons, we both had the mustard chicken and shared the chocolate chip cookie a la mode for dessert. Of course we also had their focaccia bread with oil. Everything was delicious and plentiful. Service was excellent though the server was also dealing with a large table of at least 16 people in our section. Definitely a great meal at a great price :-)

    Deep fried nightmare. Fish and chips were heavily battered so that the fish was hardly there. I tasted more batter than fish. Blahhh. Chips, or fries may as well been from McDonald’s…but better than the fish so there’s that. The only things worth going back for was the bread. (If I go back). The bread was great.

    Arron - Thank you for this feedback. We will share with the Chef team as it sounds as though recipe was not followed. We are better than this and a manager should have stopped by to address your concerns.

    Hubby’s sandwich was ok. My poke bowl was almost all rice and wontons. This has been a recent change the last few times I had it- cost savings perhaps? Was hungry when I left. We’ll take a break from Not Your Average Joe being our regular as it was Average at best
