Joro Restaurant in Sheffield - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Been a number of times since its inception and this is a Jewell in Sheffields crown Never have I been disappointed and always impressed… It’s a travesty it doesn’t have a Michelin star as it beats a number of starred places I have been hands down Well done Luke and the team #0114

Can’t comment on the food as we unfortunately didn’t get to go. Partner booked for my birthday and paid a £50 deposit. Due to a flight change, we asked to reschedule and were told we could book back within 6 months. All other dates we wanted - we were told were full and to rebook another £50 would need to be paid. Our deposit was completely lost with no other option of resolution. Disappointing.

Another great trip to JORO. We had the express tasting menu with paired wines. The meal was outstanding , the staff were friendly , helpful and attentive , and the service was excellent . It was a bit of a contrast to the very stern messages we got on booking about not arriving early etc. JORO might want to think about the tone of it's digital communications .

Enjoyed a fabulous, 10 course lunch with paired wines. Each course was exquisite - a delicious work on art on a plate. The BBQ prawns, so succulent and subtle were some of the best we've ever tasted. The paired wine and cider were expertly selected to complement each dish. Love the fusion - innovative flavours, in a casual, modern environment with helpful, knowledgeable service from the whole team. We will be back (again).

An absolutey magnificent dining experience. Had the premium menu and glad we did as the extra dishes were spectacular. Sat at the chefs table and gawped in wonder at the skills on show. You have to try it. Totally worth the cost.

We came in for my birthday for the 2:15pm 10 course tasting menu and it was amazing! Each dish was explained and talking us through how it was made, made it a really interactive experience. The meal took about 2 hours to get through and didn’t feel rushed at all. It was a full experience - definately worth it! We were even given a little birthday surprise to help celebrate!

Ok so the Hype is justified, We had the most amazing meal at Joro yesterday. @cheflukefrench and co at Joro have teamed up with their bros @joelll6 at @konjokitchen , to kick out the most incredible elevated Sunday dinner offering. We were seated at the pass so got a full view of the kitchen as food was prepared. Watching the kitchen was so entertaining and the level of professionalism... watching these chefs effortlessly move around each other like a well oiled machine was so impressive. The service is friendly, informal and welcoming. They love to make you feel at home here. The food was just out of this world , and instantly made us say we wanted to book again. 🍞🧄🌿First came out warm @crumb.sheffield sour dough with what I think was a wild garlic butter, and it was like garlic bread on acid. Just so delicious. 🍗🥗🧀Next a starter - a twist on a cesear salad. A wedge of little gem with the most delicious rich Caesar dressing, so good James said he would be prepared to offer sexual favours to the chef for the recipe 🙈😂. It was topped with a deboned crisp chicken wing, crunchy bacon bits and puffed rice and parmesan - I could have eaten this every day and be happy so so good. 🍖🥔🥕 The main event - was a large Sunday dinner, elevated in every aspect. A rolled crisp but juicy slice of pork belly, sausage stuffing, 2 week fermented roast potatoes crunchy with an addictive seasoning, roast parsnip, garlicy greens, cauliflower cheese (omg the sauce 😍), apple sauce, gravy with so much depth I could have drank a bottle, and my fave bit , a rare slice of @randjyorkshiresfinest rump cap beef. The quality was insane , and as the Konjo USP is the cooking over charcoal, much of our food had a delicate and delicious smoky flavour that we absolutely loved. 🍨🍓Dessert was a take on Eaton mess crossed with trifle, strawberry in an ice cream topping style sauce , topped with custard , cream and the highlight an incredible lemon verbena sorbet that was so aromatic and refreshing after a big meal. One of the best things we have eaten in some time, filled us for a whole day,

I’ve eaten at quite a few restaurants including a couple of Michelin stars in just the last year. Make no mistake Jöro blows them out of the water. I’d say my meal on Saturday was the best I’ve had in about five years. It’s probably not for everyone. The Japanese influence has got stronger over the years, but I think over the last year or so (which was the last time I went) it’s been refined down to perfection. Every single course feels like it’s took someone a week to put together. I’m a very competent home cook, but the processes on show here are absolutely mind bending. I couldn’t even guess as to how they managed to come up with some of these recipes. The service was great, the atmosphere is a bit more refined than it was in the first couple of years here with lots more soft furnishing. The music choices - also - excellent. I can’t say anything bad about it. 7 courses, 6 of which blew my socks off. It’s an absolute travesty it doesn’t already have a Michelin star as it’s much better than most 1* restaurants I’ve been to.

We had the signature tasting menu, the food was really interesting and absolutely delicious - one of the best meals we've ever had. Especially loved the hogget dish with grilled potato bread, the chicken course and the English strawberry dessert which was like the best afternoon tea you could ever have. The staff were friendly, attentive and approachable, as well as really knowledgeable about food and wine. Loved the relaxed vibe, the hip hop being played was on point and really added to the atmosphere.

This place is so unique. The food was incredible but the staff really made it. First fine dining experience where I've discussed the history of the CIA with the waiter

Really impressive modern high-end cooking worthy of a Michelin star IMHO. Top quality from start to finish. Excellent wine choices to match each substantive course. Reasonable price for a wine "flight" too. A seat at the pass gave us an up-close masterclass in plating and also very impressive knife skills. Every dish was beautifully presented with great flavour. My wife's vegetarian alternatives were all done very well. Lovely crockery, cuttlery and glassware too! Friendly, knowledgeable staff, with clear, unfussy descriptions of dishes and wines. Great amuse bouche "snacks" to kick things off and awaken the taste buds. Simply marvellous! About a 25 minute walk from the railway station.

Loved the tasting menu with the drinks pairing, looking forward to try the next season's menu! Brilliant food creations, adventurous ideas, definitely worth a visit

Jöro in Sheffield is a culinary gem that offers an outstanding dining experience, blending innovation with local flavors. Nestled in a stylish, modern space, Jöro's menu is a testament to creativity, with dishes that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. Each plate is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, featuring seasonal and sustainably sourced ingredients. Diners can expect a symphony of flavors, from the delicate balance of sweet and savory in their signature dishes to the surprising yet harmonious use of textures and colors. The tasting menus, paired with an exceptional selection of wines, offer an unforgettable journey through contemporary British cuisine. Jöro's commitment to excellence and its warm, knowledgeable staff ensure that every visit is a memorable culinary adventure.

Me and my partner went for a dinner other day. The staff was lovely and helpful. Unfortunately the food wasn’t great and most of the dishes were very salty and definitely not worth £75 per person. It was quite loud inside so whenever the food was brought in and explained we couldn’t hear much due to the loud music. Also been added service charge of £16 on the top of the bill which is ridiculous as the service charge should be included in the meal price. £75pp is waaay to much for the food that was provided and even charging for the water. Definitely won’t be coming back.

As you walk in off of a less than appealing roadway the calm and quiet and low lights take over and set you up well for the leisurely stroll through five courses of little taste experiences that lay ahead. Friendly staff explain every dish and are able to talk knowledgeably about both food and drinks, clearing having relished every opportunity to enjoy them for themselves. Overall it was hard to find anything to fault and I would happily return.

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Jöro. The food was excellent. We had the signature menu - my partner had the vegetarian version. The food was fabulous all round. Highlights for me on the day we went were the: chawanmushi; chicken with girolles, fermented barley plus morel farcie; haddock with asparagus and smoked pike roe; and alphonso mango with Thai herbs. We decided not to have the paired wines, and instead enjoyed a few different glasses of wine and sake from the excellent drinks list. Service was friendly and attentive throughout.

A brilliant, great value, culinary experience. The food is very high standard, bordering on michelin star: subtle, innovative, thoughtful, beautiful. The staff are great. We're going back in four weeks - can't wait.

Education of the palate at its finest 👏

Hubby chose this £45 tasting menu for our 19th anniversary meal and it didn't disappoint! Loved the ambience and setting and the mood of the place! Excellent service, helpful and friendly. The veggie food was delicious, and the dessert was to die for! Hubby added on the £12 mushroom course and it was well worth it! Every course was well presented and super tasty! The only little improvements would be to make super the tables are cleaned between courses as I am a little ocd and ended up wiping mine myself and maybe to put the little lamp on before we arrive! Also received a lovely little chocolate dessert for our anniversary but usually it has words on the plate otherwise it's just a cake! Would recommend and would return.

Myself and my husband booked a table months ago for my birthday. We were not disappointed what a fabulous night amazing food , service and wine. We booked the chefs table which was a great experience. We have had some exclusive and high end eating experiences and Joro is up there for us. We are very lucky to have such an amazing place in Sheffield. There are very few exceptional eating places. We loved the vibe of Joro too fine dining without feeling stuffy. We find some fine dining experiences can be stuffy. We loved the music it could have been our own personal playlist. The chefs and hospitality team were faultless. We had a drink at the sky bar kelu before and after dinner which was fabulous too. We will definitely be back to Joro. Cannot recommend Joro enough if you fancy a fine dining experience it’s a real treat.

The tasting menu is a must-do, incredible experience!!!

Booked in 3 months prior to our reservation the week before our booking I received a phone call saying I haven't confirmed my reservation and the restaurant is now booked.on the day in question and could we go the day before on the Friday i said no as it was my wifes birthday on the Sunday and the whole poit was to eat at joro Saturday and then overnight in the house of joro I checked my e mails which clearly states I have confirmation of my booking also what didn't add up was that on the same booking email i had booked an overnightstay in the house of joro as part of my wifes birthday weekend but there was no issues there about confirming my stay??? they said it was too late and they could put us upstairs in AXL which is another part of joro.i accepted as this was again my wife's birthday weekend and unfortunately she broke her lower leg 2 weeks prior so I thought it would be nice to take her somewhere with great reviews. We arrived at the house of joro the room was fine I then rang joro to see how far away was the main restaurant I was told go out of the building turn left down the street over the roundabout about 5 minutes walk bearing in mind my wife was in a wheelchair I had a look at the route unfortunately the roundabout was like spaghetti junction so we took a taxi to joro. Upon arrival we made our way in my wife with a walking frame as she could not weight bear on the broken leg we passed the main restaurant on the way to the lift it sounded busy good atmosphere. Out of the lift on the 1st floor we were taken to AXL wow we were astounded gobsmacked basically 2 tables in a kitchen it was humid no atmosphere whatsoever I was sat next to a glass fronted freezer full of meat. So so disappointed we told the waitress we were going to eat as we hadn't eaten all day as looking forward to some good food. Whilst she was gone we looked around and both said why should we eat in a kitchen they've obviously overbooked and chucked us up in AXL thinking all was ok i went to find the waitress and told her we feel ripped off and we're not going to eat also we wasn't taking the overnight stay either we were going home. Luke the owner came up and apologised for the mix up joro was clearly at fault they overbooked the main restaurant and fobbed us off into AXL on the website it states that in joro restaurant itself expect moody lighting audible music and laughter good vibes only none of that whatsoever in AXL. which is basically a test kitchen were again according to the website you get an intimate yet interactive dining experience with Luke we certainly wasn't offered that either.in fact when I said to him I didn't expect to be sat at the side of a freezer full of meat he sarcastically replied why don't you like meat? we both found that quite rude. I like fish but wouldn't expect to eat it at a table in the middle of a fishmongers. We were also told they would look into why this mistake has occurred and get in touch with us a week on and we have received nothing from them. Won't ever go back or recommend them

Very bad experience didn't even stay for the meal or overnight stay owner rude and sarcastic would never entertain the place again beware your views mean nothing

Won't ever go back or recommend them Food: 1/5 | Service: 1/5 | Atmosphere: 1/5

I can only score these 1 out of 5 as they refused to refund my £50.00 deposit, even though I notified them as soon as I was instructed by my doctor that I could not attend (early the day before). I know they were fully booked because I got someone to phone to check & my cancelling had zero affect on them, but they still made a point of phoning me saying, unfortunately, it was still non-refundable. If that's the way they treat their customers then good luck to them, but I guarantee I will NEVER pay upfront again!

Absolutely wonderful experience. We had booked for our wedding anniversary and were given the seats at the pass. We were able to see all the food preparation and presentation. We had the Signature tasting menu and each course was described in detail when brought.

Really exciting food. The red mullet and the miso dessert were phenomenal. Service professional and friendly.

Amazing food, and beautifully presented. Loved the fact there was also a pescatarian and vegetarian Signature and Premium menu. In addition on the confirming booking, I was asked if there were any foods to avoid.

We opted for the ten course meal. I really wish we had not. The first two and the last two tasters were the best. The rest all seem to have over bearing, salty sauces, the food had no layers as described robotically by the well rehoused staff. The vegetables slimy, the cold scallops not palatable and all that could be tasted was salt. When the staffed asked if we enjoyed and we gave our opinion. We seemed to be shot down and advised they don’t use salt and it was objective. They had been rehearsed and were well scripted. The wine at £15 a glass was sour, when I asked to change once again I was told it was opened that day, but as I had the last glass it could not be checked. They did change but made me feel like I was in the wrong. Over all not a pleasant experience and an eye watering £25 service charge added was the icing on the cake! The customers eating at the same time as ourselves also said the same thing. Will not be returning and suggest if you want a Michelin star you would need to try harder and listen to your customer. What a shame

Have been twice now - completely brilliant spot and such good value.

This restaurant is very special. The food it just fabulous and the service is impeccable. Every course brought over was an explosion of flavours and absolutely beautiful. The drinks pairings complemented each course perfectly. What an amazing experience!

Reading some of the other reviews really doesn’t match up to the experience we had at Jöro. Having been to Roots in York we can honestly say the service and explanation of wine and dishes at Joro was a lot better, less wooden and rushed. Yes they say the same/similar things to every table - because every table is having the same food! The 10 course tasting menu was great, we tried a lot of things we hadn’t had previously and really enjoyed them. Yes some dishes were served at room temperature but I am sure that was a deliberate choice for the flavour of the dish. And yes they are small portions, it’s 10 courses! As it’s a small restaurant you do have to arrive at your booked time or they won’t have room probably - but this was communicated in multiple emails before our booking. I don’t think this is unreasonable, and they do need the tables back at a specific time which is also communicated extensively. Honestly the only thing I would say was the music got slightly too loud towards the end of the meal. But it was 11pm by the time we left! This place is all about the food and the service and to be honest is refreshing to have such a relaxed atmosphere but also such great food, service and drinks. I don’t really think having linen napkins and cutlery not in a box matters!

We had reason to visit Matlock, and having read Giles Coren's review of Joro, we decided to make an overnight trip and have dinner here. It absolutely lived up to our expectations - the depth of flavours delivered was exceptional. We upgraded to the 10 course tasting with wine pairing and revelled in reliving each course with our night cap whisky. If you love your food and are happy to take the wine pairing recommendations which were unusual but perfect, you're in for a treat. The only reason I gave 4* for atmosphere was the music they played wasn't, in our opinion a great match for the food. We have a very contemporary Indie oriented taste in music, but there was just too much rap for our liking. I respect this is part of their style, but, for us, took the edge off the evening a little. But please don't let this put you off - the food is amazing, the staff charming and the wine adventurous - but forewarned is forearmed! We will definitely be back - and next time might simply make dinner at Joro our excuse to drive 3.5 hours from Epsom to Sheffield! Oh, and stay at House Of Joro if you can - loved the informality of the place - great to be able to sit and enjoy a book, or use the laptop in the cool communal living area. Continental breakfast was delicious - granola, yoghurt, smoked fish, banana muffin, treacle soda bread, Serrano ham and as much coffee or tea as your heart desires.

Fantastic meal and knowledgeable service to support.

As a New Yorker with a taste for fine dining, I was blown away by Jöro in Sheffield. This place rivals some of the best restaurants worldwide, offering expertly crafted dishes, a fascinating drinks menu, and exceptional service. The food here goes beyond cooking—it’s culinary art, perfectly paired with thoughtfully selected beverages. The service strikes a perfect balance of attentiveness and discretion, contributing to an outstanding dining experience. Jöro is a true gem, proving that you don’t need to be in a big city to find world-class cuisine. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable meal.

Amazing food and great staff. We had a fantastic night enjoying the eight course tasting menu with paired drinks. Would highly recommend! We will be back.

Just returned from our first visit to JÖRO (AXL chef’s table) which was absolutely fantastic. The ambience, staff and food were superb. I simply cannot fault any aspect of the visit and will definitely return. Highly recommended!

A rare roasted saddle of local hogget, juicy as hell, and a little grilled kofte popping with high kebab flavours, a prickly jam of Cambodian peppers and tapenade, a wild garlic raita and a dense potato cake spread with lamb fat. Just the right amount of meat for me (in my youth, I might have clamoured for the rest of the sheep) and crying out for a well-aged pinot noir.

I’ve been wanting to visit for a while and now wish we had done sooner! We visited a few days ago for a pre birthday treat, dining and then staying at House of Joro. Neither disappointed. Pre dinner drinks upstairs were just the job, and my sake soda cocktail was a lovely refreshing start. Downstairs we lucked out with seats at the kitchen bench, so we could see the action and the tantalising plates being put together in front of us. The food was a delight, all dishes beautifully balanced and fabulous flavours with the sea trout and hogget courses especially standing out, and a surprising mix of drinks that perfectly complimented the dishes. Service throughout was relaxed and friendly yet knowledgeable and attentive at all times. And it was lovely to be able to have a few words with Stacey and Luke. What a fabulous set up and team they have! House of Joro was perfect for the night, just a short walk away, and with a superb breakfast option with cracking mix of in house and artisan delicacies. Thank you Team Joro. We hope to be back again soon!

Second time here. Beautiful restaurant. Food was very surprising and most enjoyable. The service was fabulous apart from the bill that was £50 over. We politely brought this to their attention where they said we were wrong and it was correct, we questioned again and they realised we were correct. Just double check your bill when you go. Would definitely return. Head up to the nook prior for a delicious cocktail.

Had the vegetarian 8 course tasting menu and soft drink pairing. Food was amazing (especially the Jerusalem artichoke) and the soft drinks made by the house were well matched and full of flavours. Great value and great flavours

With a new menu to me, the food was superb as usual, it's typically hard to explain what we had - innovative menu of the finest available native ingredients. A very nice treat for the run-up to Xmas.

I visited Joro as I had been gifted a voucher. We had opted for the 10 course taster menu, within our group we had a vegetarian, pescatarian and standard tasting menus. We did not opt for the wine flight and instead chose a selection of wines to share throughout the meal. The service was good throughout the meal itself. The food was enjoyable however for the price I would say I was a little underwhelmed, each course served with a slightly over powering sauce. I appreciate this restaurant does not have a Michelin Star, however I can see, having been open for a few years, why it has not achieved one. I still enjoyed the meal until the end. Having eaten our ten courses, at the pace served by the staff, we were suddenly shocked to hear the music changed to a pumping beat and turned to an exceptionally loud volume! The bill was suddenly thrust on the table, with a curt waitress stood waiting with the card machine. I appreciate that the restaurant needs to get ready for the dinner service but we were given no warning that we were over staying our welcome. We had to ask for the music to be turned down so we could hear each other talk in order to divide the bill appropriately. We quickly paid and on the way out had a word with a member of staff about the ending of the meal. We were told that the loud music was to get the staff ‘pumped’ for the next service. This may well be a normal practice for a high class restaurant but doing so at the detriment to paying customers is another story, particularly with no warning whatsoever. I will not be returning to Joro, they are charging Michelin Star prices for an experience they are not delivering on.

This was my second time visiting Joro. The first time was a little underwhelming but gift vouchers took us back. It confirmed my initial thought; for £95 for a vegetarian taster menu I would have expected some protein alternative, not simply veg served in sauce. The first course had not changed since our initial visit 18 months ago. The meal ended abruptly with staff playing their own music extremely loudly. We were told this was to aid them getting ready for the next sitting and were advised that the booking came with a suggested end time. The pace of the meal was dictated by that of the food service. At no point were we politely highlighted to the need for us to finish at a certain time. We felt pushed out of the restaurant. We will not be visiting again.

Joro are undoubtedly deserving of at least one Michlin star. The foods are superb, well-thought-out dishes, with quality ingredients and wonderful flavours. The staff are very knowledgeable about the dishes and ingredients; the atmosphere and surroundings are top class. Already planning our next visit! Highly recommend, especially the kitchen bench experience.

We spent our Valentine's treat at the chef's table at Jöro, which offered an exquisite dining experience that seamlessly blends flavours from Asia, South America, and China. The 10-course menu is a culinary journey that showcases the creativity and skill of the chefs. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted to highlight the unique qualities of the ingredients while harmoniously integrating global influences. We started with Japanese milk bread, and a procession of beautiful and tasty dishes followed, including sea trout, baked haddock, octopus, pork belly, scallops, hoggert, finishing with Yorkshire rhubarb. Along with impeccable service and a commitment to quality, it's an experience that leaves a lasting impression.

I went as part of a couple to Joro in February. We were seated at the chefs table and every single dish was amazing. We had the 8 course taster menu and couldn't recommend highly enough. It was a Saturday and the place was busy but the atmosphere was so relaxed that you didn't even notice anybody else. The servers and head chef are amazing. They definitely know what they are talking about and tend to you without being overbearing. Highly recommended and we will be back. Also enjoy a cocktail in the floor above if you get there early!

Visited Joro for their 8 course lunch tasting menu with my husband yesterday. The meal was a wedding gift from my Brother as we’ve experienced a few tasting menus & it’s something we like to do. I have to say the food was average at best and way overpriced, our bill was almost £300. The staff were nice but it wasn’t natural & authentic but robotic and scripted & they say they’re not pretentious but it definitely is compared to what we’ve experienced elsewhere. I also think the 10% mandatory service charge when you’re paying £75 a head is a joke! The food is where it really came undone, the sauces all overpowered any other ingredients & were exceptionally salty. We were particularly disappointed with the teeny tiny portions of the two meat dishes. Two slivers of pork belly which had apparently been cooked for 36hours but I don’t know how as it was very chewy. I love pork belly & was expecting a beautiful little cube of soft melt in your mouth pork with crispy rendered fat… erm nope! The second meat course hoggett, again a huge lump of fat that was inedible as it hadn’t been rendered down & was just sat there on top of a tiny piece of lamb which was cold. Moved onto the two dessert courses which were the only real courses I felt they got right! Beatiful tangy rhubarb with a crumble & the 2nd a blood orange. All in all not a great experience & will not be returning.

The GM Emma was absolutely brilliant, she was so welcoming and the service is great :) beautiful space and the caipirinhas are to die for!

Exceptional, truly a great experience start to finish. Thanks to all the staff, attention to detail is fantastic, never an empty water glass, and even went to the effort to wait to serve food till my partner was back at the table. Everything is so effortlessly themselves, a unique dining experience and something I recommend to anyone. Food is outstanding, and the balance of dishes is excellent, everything has its reason, and should not go unnoticed.

Something a little different for Ftiday lunch. We planned to visit Jöro in January, but a dose of Covid put pay to that. I'm glad we waited until our sense of taste recovered because the tasting menu was an experience to savour. We were seated on the Pass, so we had the chance to watch the team work at close range. It was a pleasure to watch the chefs calmly go about producing the various dishes that are a work of art and a treat to the taste buds. We also shared a bottle of 0% red wine that was the best we have had. We are looking forward to a return visit.

Good for an occasion, Seafood was good. Background Music bad taste. service was brilliant.

An early valentines leap year present!! We had the 2 “chef’s table” seats and Luke was working. Wow what a fabulous evening. All of the food was outstanding (photos attached). We also had a pre-dinner drink in the bar upstairs and stayed overnight at House of Joro rooms just 5 minutes walk away. It was a really relaxed atmosphere, much less stuffy than some other fine dining tasting events we have been to. We were well looked after by Oliver and Emily in the evening and Lauren for breakfast. Highly recommended 🙃

Absolutely incredible. The food was wonderful the service was excellent. An amazing experience, thank you so much!

We loved our experience here. We have visited before and the menu had completely change to reflect the season. Every dish was full of wonderful flavours, and included things that we had never had before which is always a plus. Staff are friendly and informed. We will definitely be back Thank you for a great afternoon

Wow wow wow , thank you to Luke and Oliver for a very special axl evening , intimate delicious and unforgettable evening for our wedding anniversary and birthday celebrations a very intimate evening one we won’t forget . Don’t forget the invitation for the opening night Luke 😉 Highly recommended a must do if in Sheffield

The food went from exceptional to poor - the tasting menu does offer variety and great quality ingredients but the cooking (particularly with the ‘duck’ dish which was raw meat) is variable. Went for the drink suggestions with the food - but again extremely variable (the fizzy blackcurrant a particular disaster) and staff not really welcoming our feedback. Service was ok but I don’t like an added on 10% as standard and we felt very rushed towards the end of the meal - ‘insisting’ on having the table back and wanting us out the door…not what I expected when paying these prices. Finally the decor and style is great but the music gradually became too loud and out of kilter with the restaurant…(Firestarter by the Prodigy?) Overall an experience but not value for what they charge

We visited Joro and stayed over in their accommodation. The restaurant is in a quirky industrial setting with a great bar above. My wife does not drink alcohol and Joro had the best and fullest menu of alcohol free drinks and cocktails. So much so that we will be returning even though we live 2 hours away. The food was amazing and the Owner/Chef Luke was very engaging as well as talented. I would thoroughly recommend a visit....

We went for the 10 course tasting menu and I was excited as I had been told it was a great restaurant. The whole meal was freezing cold! The “ Ambient” scallop was horrific, 2 of us could not stomach it. I particularly had trouble with the haddock which was cold and this only enhanced the overly fishy taste. I understand it is a tasting menu and I did thank the gods for the small portions but 2 tiny slivers 1 inch square pork belly in a Tom yum soup splash was particularly meagre. Heavily overpriced. Staff were overbearing and at times very rude. Happily interrupting conversations.

We booked for dinner with 2 friends and unfortunately my husband was taken ill - his back went into spasm and he was in excruciating pain unable to walk, They refused to move £50 deposit onto another date for us. Shocking treatment of customers do watch out, We’ll never eat there again.

This is a place to be enjoyed like a fine wine, at your leisure and savouring every mouthful. I loved it, the attention to detail, presentation, staff atmosphere.

Have attended a few times, relaxed dining experience friendly knowledgeable staff, food has always been excellent. Lunch time tasting menu is reasonably priced.

I went to Joro for lunch and chose the 5 course taster menu. Every dish was perfect, from the taste explosion of the Croustade and Japanese milk bread appetisers (the roasted garlic and miso butter was amazing), to the Chawanmushi, Salmon crudo (with optional caviar - I opted yes), Roasted duck and finally chocolate dessert, I absolutely loved it. It was fantastic to watch a professional chef at work (it is an open kitchen so you can view the whole area), and I can only say just go there, the staff explained every dish and were without exception polite and happy to engage. Thank you Joro for a wonderful foody experience.

Our annual pre NYE get out… And what a fabulous way to end 2023 courtesy of the amazing chefs and team @restaurant_joro A flavour sensation and one which we had the pleasure of enjoying whilst sat at the chefs pass. Amazing and would highly recommend. Thankful for the generous gift vouchers, the perfect night out just me & the hubby 🤍

At £95 plus drinks for the tasting menu, this is not a cheap meal out, and as such, expectations should rightly be high. The tasting menu was 10 courses which were a fusion of classic with an asian/Japanese twist. Some of the courses were amazing,...

Amazing. Absolutely fantastic food. Staff are wonderful. We have been before and we will be definitely be going again

We were privileged to have the AXL taster menu experience. Extraordinary event. Seriously recommended

We visited for a celebration meal, absolutely first class! An explosion of flavours from start to finish with a team that were on top of their game! The team just knew the wine and food menu, they knew service and delivered big time. Whilst it...

If you love beautiful food and a fine dining experience then Joro is a must have. We visited as part of our daughter’s 30th birthday celebrations but just the four of us on this occasion! The food, the drinks pairing, the service and the ambiance...

What a fantastic afternoon, the courses were out of this world - its a sensory extravaganza- and the alcohol pairing is phenomenal- and not to mention the friendly, warm and fantastic staff make this 100% worth every minute

Without question ‘ THE BEST’ eating experience I have been fortunate to have in my lifetime … the venue , bar, team , atmosphere were all superb . The food was utter perfection from the 1st to the 10th course .

Lunch. Sheffield finest restaurant. Located in a shipping container on the Sheffield bypass with sleek, Scandi decor.Plus a favourite of ours an open kitchen. They serve a 5 course £45,8 course £75.A 10 Course Tasting Menu £95 which we chose. For their second lunchtime sitting. This is a very relaxed informal dining experience. With a fast-paced,slick service. To get you started, there's a snack Croustade,Hafod cheddar- alliums With Japanese milkbread Roasted garlic & miso butter Then comes the first of 10 courses. A mixture of dishes with fermented,cured fish, vegetables and meat dishes. Each one bursting with flavours and beautiful presentations. We won't list all the different courses as you can see them in the pics.The outstanding dish for us was the lberico pork,'Imperial Kaigun Karē. Quite possibly the best pork dish we have ever had the pleasure of eating. Fine dining in a unique location. If you're not used to dining this way, their 5-course menu is very reasonably priced for newbies. Although they are listed in @michelinguide and we don't say this often,they deserve to be awarded the very elusive star to go with all their other awards.

Wasn’t sure what to expect but what a wonderful surprise. We’ve eaten at excellent restaurants all over the world but never managed to find somewhere of this quality in Sheffield. Five course tasting menu and each course more exquisite than the last. Nicely balanced, lovely...

If you live in or near Sheffield, and want a special meal or just a wonderful evening out, go to Joro. My Wife and I have been meaning to try for a while, and just hadn't gotten round to it. My Wife has a specific...

lunchtime tasting menu , was a gift from a family member so booked at really didn't know what too expect .... but from start too finish the taste and experience definitely something everyone should have at least once ... we added the drinks too compliment each course and the staff explained ever plate and drink too enhance the experience... knowledgeable, friendly and relaxing ... hubby who is a dessert lover, finished the meal by saying it was the best he had ever tasted .

It is an Inuit to Jöro that they haven’t been awarded more than they have. Three rosette restaurant is an understatement. Our server, a confident and knowledgeable gentleman with passion for his craft was excellent. (Dark haired mullet) could not fault his expertise and service....

I'm very fortunate. I've been to some great restaurants in London, in Paris, in Tokyo, paid by my employers. The meal at Joro in Sheffield was as good as I've had anywhere. And I paid for it. Delicious tastes and textures, quality ingredients, creative recipes,...

Completely out of my comfort zone in Axl but had a wonderful time eating fantastic (scary to me at times) food served by Luke. Thanks. 😊

I've had Joro on my list of places to visit for a long time and the wait was worth it. We went for the eight course menu and the food was great from start to finish. The bluefin tuna and Iberico pork dishes were particular...

This was our second visit to Jöro and it did not disappoint. The food was exceptional. We had the 8 course tasting menu and each course was excellent. The service was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable but relaxed. The people who work there seem to care about...

All dishes were explained including drinks which were complementary to the 5 course meal .Loved it great experience.

This was THE best dining experience I’ve ever had! Before tonight the best meal I ever had was a Filet Mignon in 2010. Almost 14 years later it’s been knocked off the top spot by 3 of the dishes on the 8 course tasting menu. The atmosphere was amazing, the calm, quiet, and chilled vibe was on point. Being in the restaurant completely removed me from Sheffield. Didn’t feel like I was in Kansas anymore! The staff were so attentive but not close to annoying or intrusive. 100% coming for more. 10 course next time. So satisfying, so happy.

Terrible experience the restaurant served meat to a vegetarian despite being told 3 times and in the booking his dietary requirements. Terrible customer service when we complained and no response from the company owners when we submitted a written complaint. Overpriced rubbish food and wine...

We had the 10 course tasting menu and it was all fantastic - the staff were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate and the drinks pairing was perfect (and interesting! Didn’t realise I liked Sake!)

5***** We had the 10 course tasting menu, and it was the best meal we have EVER had. The service was excellent. As you would expect on a tasting menu, the plates were small, but over the course of the evening, that didn't matter as you were surprisingly full. It was a taste sensation. The amount of flavour packed into each dish was amazing. I would highly recommend.

the restaurant has an initially strange but really comfortable layout where the bar and restaurant are on separate floors, I feel this really works for the atmosphere they have going on there. We turned up a little early so we sat in the bar for a drink, the barman was awesome, relaxing and knowledgeable. The drinks selection has many interesting drinks, all of which cried out to be tasted. We sat at the chef's table for dinner with the 8 course taster, and we were blown away with the food, and not just the food but the amazing drinks knowledge of the staff, having drinks that compliment the food was at a level I wasn't aware existed. The atmosphere and dress code really brought fine dining to such a comfortable place. Really chuffed with the experience.

Enjoyed a fabulous, 10 course lunch with paired wines. Each course was exquisite - a delicious work on art on a plate. The BBQ prawns, so succulent and subtle were some of the best we've ever tasted. The paired wine and cider were expertly selected...

Hands down, best food I've ever eaten! Came here a few months ago to celebrate my husbands birthday, and it was everything we could've wished for and more. The food was exceptional, the service was fantastic, and the knowledge of each dish and ingredient was fascinating. We'd never had experience with matching drinks to dishes, but the pairings blew our minds. The way each drink complemented and brought out the flavours of the dish was wonderful. The atmosphere of the restaurant was so calm and minimal, which helped us feel focused on the food and the experience as a whole. I've not stopped raving about this place to anyone and everyone who will listen, and we will definitely be returning!

The best dinner I've had in England. Expensive, but worth every penny. Highly recommend getting the carabinere prawn extra

We stayed as part of an overnight package at the 'house of Joro', location is a 10 minute walk between accommodation and restaurant . The restaurant is set in an up and coming part of the City, what was once a very run down industrial...

First thing to say is that the food was fantastic. We had the eight course tasting menu and every course was lovely. We arrived 15 minutes early and were told our table was still occupied. We were directed to a bar upstairs and told that...

This restaurant is a mix of good and bad. We had a 10-course taster meal. The food was delicious, personally I didn't like the desserts but that was personal preference. So as far as the food goes - great restaurant! The restaurant itself was quite...

My wife and I recently visited looking forward to a special evening out. We both looked at each other when we were shown to our table. We were facing two frosted glazed doors all night, paper napkins and a pedestal fan blasting air around until...

I visited JORO back in April 2023. The venue is quite small with a lot of tables, however we were seated in our own corner with quite a lot of space. We had chosen to do the 8 course taster menu plus the drinks flight,...

We first came in Summer 2022, and it was the same four of us this time round. There aren't many non-local restaurants we revisit (too many places, too little time) but we were all keen to come back, and it didn't disappoint at all. We...

A really interesting restaurant that serves up interesting dishes with intriguing flavours. The wine paring is an alcoholic pairing, with ciders and even a liquor to finish which is a pleasant left-field addition. The value for money is very good too and is a star...

Another excellent visit to Joro. Top quality food, really well presented with helpful and informative staff. Really good selection of dishes, the scallop one being a standout. Can definitely recommend.

Fantastic lunch! Really inventive tasting menu: I thought every course was interesting. Loved the non-alcoholic pairing. Staff friendly and attentive. Sorry we were so slow, had a time!
