Executive Chef Asif Aslam performs magic in the kitchen by putting his own signature on a well-curated staple of mouth-watering family recipes. Drawing from his diverse experiences at his dad’s restaurant and as personal chef for a host of distinguished Bay Area personalities, one of the region’s most talented young restaurateurs enjoys nothing more than to enhance his culinary genes with the kinds of subtle accents known to elicit spontaneous “oohs.”

I had a wonderful lunch today at Original Joe's. My server Sedat was outstanding and had great suggestions for menu items. I strongly recommend the Pineapple Punch (n/a), Joe's House Made Ravioli, and the Butter Cake. This was the best meal of the trip!

We had our Xmas dinner here and were seated promptly as soon as we arrived at our reservation time. Hubby ordered the Lamb and I had the Fettuccine Alla Rocca. The lamb was delicious and my fettuccine was delicious as well although the scallops were very small alittle larger than a pencil eraser. We also ordered the Calamari and that was nice and tender with just the right amount of batter. Our first time here and we’re definitely coming back to try other dishes as well. Service was impeccable!
