Tin Jo
 

Description

More, much more than a Chinese restaurant, this is a culinary experience of different tastes and flavors from all of Asia. Here, you can try specialties from India, Indonesia, Thailand, Burma, Vietnam, Japan and, of course, China. It is not unusual, then, that a mixture of smells comes from the kitchen including curry, ginger, soy, lemon grass, garlic and onions, in a parade of magical olfactory seduction. When you feel it is time for a gastronomic change, the Tin Jo can give you a marvelous culinary tour through those exotic places.

Mediocre, pricey
By ,
The ambience is lovely, with different Asian decor for different areas. I got stuck in a Japenese modern room, very white, very cold. The "Japanese" food was so so. I will try something else next visit. Dinner for two with no alcohol, appetizers or desserts was $48.00, expensive for SJ. I'd rather go to Caf� Mundo in Amon any day.

I'll never go back
By ,
I have eaten at Tin Jo and I have found that they serve the most expensive rice I have ever eaten at a Chinese retayrant. The food is double the price for excellent Chinese food in the USA. The egg rolls are terrible as is the soup. If you want good Chines food, don't get it at Tin Jo!!!!

Highly Overated!
By ,
Sorry, but after spending my life in the restaurant business I finally found out that these reviews are meaningless - possibly mine is useless too. But I just don�t get it. This restaurant has nice people giving pretgty good service and the food is really below average. They can�t hold a candle to the average asian restaurant in NY, SF or anywhere lese. But then again, there are so few REALLY good restaurants in San Jose that it is all relative. I�ve been highly disappointed in all but 2 of the 23 meals we{ve has in Costa Rica so far. Good chefs and restaurateurs are needed badly in this beautiful country.

Delicious Asian Cuisine
By ,
I had the massaman curry chicken and it was delicious. Great food and reasonably priced. I'd highly recommend Tin Jo for great Asian cuisine in San Jos�.

Yuck!
By ,
The food tasted awful and they all yelled at me in Spanish when I didn't have any American money. The waiter dropped all our food on the ground and tried to pretend he didn't. Overall just a really bad restaurant! Terrible service!!! Do NOT put yourself through this.

Excellent

This restaurant is awesome. I have been to restaurants all over the world and this is one of my favorites. For the guy who said he works in restaurants and hated it, I say go back to you job at Pizza Hut.

Tin Jo Ho Hum
By ,
First, I am not comparing this to a NYC style sit down Chinese food restaurant, but, having said that, here are the reasons for my poor ratings: 1. The food was pallatable...not great, but not bad either. 2. Service leaves a lot to be desired...we needed to ask four different waiters/staff to refill our water glasses...on three different occasions. 3. They got one item on our order of 4 items wrong and were indignant when we asked them to take it back and make it correct. 4. In the end, they tried to sneak in the wrong item on to our bill hoping that we wouldn't notice it... 5. It took forever to get our bill and get out of there....and there were only 20 persons eating there... 6. Ambiance however was impeccable and the place was very clean! So, we are on the fence on this one..
