Jojo (also known as Jojo Food Truck and Jojo PDX) is a restaurant in Portland, Oregon. Established by Justin Hintze in 2018, the business operates in southeast Portland's Creston-Kenilworth neighborhood and northwest Portland's Pearl District.
Jojo operates from a food cart in southeast Portland's Creston-Kenilworth neighborhood and a brick and mortar space in northwest Portland's Pearl District. The business specializes in fried chicken sandwiches. The menu has also included biscuits and gravy and milkshakes.
Justin Hintze, a former real estate agent, opened Jojo in Sellwood in October 2018. The food cart relocated to a pod on Southwest Powell in 2019. Jojo became known for its social media posts in 2019. In late 2019, Jojo and Vietnamese cart Matta collaborated to launch Chái Luôn, a restaurant within the cocktail bar Lulu.
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Jojo offered free meals to children, restaurant workers, and hospital workers. In April, when Jojo reopened after a temporary closure, the business offered free sandwiches to all who asked.
In 2021, Hintze confirmed plans to open a sibling brick and mortar restaurant in the Pearl District. The restaurant opened on September 15, 2022. Jojo also caters large events.
In 2019, Jojo was a Food Cart of the Year finalist in Eater Portland Eater Awards. The website's Brooke Jackson-Glidden wrote, "Jojo stands out as a Portland icon for its social media alone, but luckily this Creston-Kenilworth cartâÂÂs hulking fried chicken sandwiches are similarly obsession-inducing. Owner Justin Hintze doesnâÂÂt hold back with spice, sauce, or smoke, topping chicken with potato salad and sambal mayo on a crisped bun, with a side of crispy-crackly jojos for gut-busting good measure."
