Absolutely lovely spot ! We had a few friends come up for the weekend and booked a table - the staff were super friendly and welcoming, the food was amazing - everything tasted delicious and full of flavour and as a vegan I was over the moon to have so many options ! The atmosphere is cozy and friendly and we felt looked after and treated ! An absolute must if you want a good evening of food , cocktails and great vibes ! We will deffo be back :-)

We ordered pork and beef Korean blue taco and it was 10/10. The meat inside was so nicely marinated and juicy! Their kimchi was so good as well close to as authentic as possible! And their cocktails were so good as well. The only let down was the Singaporean fried rice, wished it was more seasoned. The restaurant is ver reasonably priced for what you get. Cant beat that! Plus the restaurant was very cozy and well decorated, but there was not much seating so I would recommend anyone going in for dinner to have reservation. Overall the restaurant is 10/10! I will definitely be coming back for it again!

Great food and pretty speedy service (given the place is always full!). My favorite is the crispy pork.

Had a great time thanks to the friendly staff and the lively atmosphere. We tried several dishes as follows. The crispy pork belly with pickled cucumber, soy & chili dip was the highlight of our meal. The skin was perfectly crispy, and the sauce complemented it well. The Thai-style banana blossom ‘fish-cakes’ with sweet chili sauce were just okay. While the batter had a nice chili and sour flavor, the banana blossom itself was a bit plain. A bit more seasoning inside could have taken this dish from okay to amazing. The wasabi battered prawns with citrus mayo didn’t meet my expectations. The batter was crispy, but I couldn’t get any wasabi flavor, and the prawns themselves lacked seasoning. The citrus mayo also felt a bit too plain for my taste.

My friend is coeliac so finding a place that does a completely gluten free menu and risk free of contamination is very rare. The food is lovely, extremely tasty and the staff are so lovely and helpful. The atmosphere is lively and happy. Highly recommend!

We've been looking forward to eating at Blue Joanna for a while given its popularity. We had our food within 20 minutes of being there - it felt rushed. This, coupled with the dishes being served in diner-style plastic bowls and abundance of fruit flies, felt like fast food. This feeling was confirmed with most dishes, whilst being tasty, were deep fried, with very similar flavours across the board - miso, sweet chilli, mayonnaise. The service felt impersonal. Wouldn't rush back. However, reasonable value for money.

Yet another great visit to Blue Joanna! This restaurant has quickly become one of my absolute favourite restaurants in Norfolk. Atmosphere is spot on, really unique vibe which the place pulls off well; the staff are always friendly, helpful, explain how the menu works, and nothing is too much trouble. The menu choices are fantastic; really wide ranging choices that cater for pretty much anyone without being overwhelming. True mix of cuisines that they deliver with great taste and flavour. Everything is fresh, which you can see being cooked from the open kitchen. I’d recommend getting 4 dishes between 2 people, this always seems to work well for the portion sizes. Is truly some of the best tasting food I’ve had - with some real creativity. Still cannot get over the prices in this place - for what is some of the nicest food I’ve had, the prices sit below that of high street chain food easily.

Sometimes a restaurant is just "right". After a cancelled train, we cancelled, then rebooked, and the people at Blue Joanna couldn't have been more gracious. The service is fast and friendly. The beers are pub prices and the food, Asian influence but not precious about it, is excellent. I really enjoyed it. And the darling daughter loves it. There is no higher praise.

Not as good as last time I was there. The skirt steak didn’t come with kimchi as stated on the menu - not sure what that was, fried cabbage or onion? Defo not kimchi! Also the aubergine was undercooked. I hope the quality of the food doesn’t keep declining, as I generally really like the place.

Definitely a great spot. Entire menu was gluten free which was ideal for my significant other. We had tacos, broccoli, slaw, pork belly, prawns, and deep fried pumpkin donuts for desert. All food was yummy and flavourful. Giving a 4, not a 5, as I wasn’t blown away with the food. The music was also a bit too loud. Would recommend for a nice dinner out with friends.

The food and service here was great, and there was a reasonable choice of veggie plates, and portions were reasonable (unlike some places that do 'small plates'). My only criticism is with the acoustics. Although not exactly loud, I felt like the background noise of other customers rather distracting.

Without a doubt 5 star all the way. I spent my 50th here with a lot of excited friends. Ecky was very professional and took all the decision making away for us which is what we needed. He gave us a lovely selection of food that covered everybody in the party from vegetarians , vegans , pescatarians and meat eaters. Blue Johanna caters for all, and it tasted fantastic. We laughed, sang and listed to some great tunes with cocktails- if you choose! A very personal and unique family run business. Goes without saying I highly recommend.
