Our restaurant continues the famous JOSS culinary style, drawing influence from the rich heritage of traditional Chinese cuisine with today's health conscious ingredients. Where the authentic recipe calls for the use of lard, which they often do, we will substitute it with low fat vegetable oil, canola oil, corn oil, grapeseed oil and olive oil, depending on which one brings you the best result.
We replace the use of chemically processed granulated sodium with natural crystallized sea salt. Sea salt enhances the essence of the fresh ingredients and it's a must for the complex finesse of Chinese cooking. We do not use any form of mono-sodium glutamate (MSG). We use fresh ginger root, spices, Shiao-Hsing wine and occasionally a special soy and mushroom based flavor enhancer.
In our restaurant, Golo and his crew will function as your private chef. Each week the kitchen will prepare two special menus depending on what are available in the market that inspires them. One menu will offer familiar perennial favorites from JOSS’s repertoire, another will discover classic regional dishes with a little element of surprise.
Should you have a specific request, we will accomodate you (provided the ingredients are available in the kitchen). Our aim is to always make sure your dining with us is an ultimately enjoyable experience.
Golo started as a dim sum chef at the original JOSS in 1988. His experience and expertise in making dim sum and appetizers has a great influence on JOSS CUISINE's menu. His dishes reflect delicacy, variety and creativity. Dim Sum literally means a "light touching on the heart," - translating to "enticing the soul." Traditionally, dim sum, therefore, is either served as appetizers or dessert, if the taste is sweet.
At the original JOSS, we served over twenty varieties of dim sum all through the day. At JOSS CUISINE, because of less significant kitchen size, Golo now selects approximately six kinds of dim sum every day so that they can all be made fresh daily. He alternates different varieties day after day to keep our patrons satisfied.
