Tin Jo has a nice atmosphere. The decor and ambiance is very appealing. And the staff was also really nice and accommodating.
The wait time for the food was a bit long but it was a Sunday afternoon and they were full to capacity.
When the food arrived, everything looked delicious. But the flavor overall was a little subpar for me. The portions are decent but I just didn’t think it was worth the price. However, I would definitely go back to try out the other menu options they offer.

Great restaurant in the heart of San Jose. We went there to celebrate my sister’s birthday and wow, I was amazed by this place. You can order based on the Asian country and everything we had was delicious. The staff was super friendly and we felt welcomed and heard during our meal here. Take into consideration this place doesn’t have parking but you can park near by and there’s even some parkings that will give you a discount for eating here. I will definitely come back and if you like Asian food, this is a place I would recommend to visit. It might be on the expensive side but it’s worth it

We just had a Christmas dinner for over 25 people at TinJo and it was a great success. The service was impeccable, the food delicious, the vibe of the saloon was so beautiful, calm and relaxing.
This is a great restaurant to host events.

I found the decor very tasteful, great mild lighting too. Waiters were very gracious and efficient, and the food was fantastic. Can’t wait to go again and try some new things!!

Great place! Loved the decoration, and how the menu and the place is divided to represent different cultures! The staff was awesome, really helpful and nice.
The menu has a lot of options, several of which are vegetarian, including main dishes and appetizers.
The food was great, and the prices are affordable. We tried some wine and margaritas and they were pretty good ( they gave us the wine as a courtesy because of the dishes we ordered).
There is no parking space directly in front of the place, but there is a cheap public parking a couple buildings away.
Overall had a great experience, loved the place and would absolutely recommend it!

This place is a must if you love pan Asian food and your gluten free !! A kid in a sweet shop with your own gluten free extensive menu. Mouthwatering food and romantic ambiance . Our waiter was called Alex . He spoke fantastic English and helped us with food choices . Wine parring is on the menu as suggestion and the ice cream taster was a wonderful palate cleanser to end with . I will return to Costa Rica and on my way home I will definitely come back to this diamond . 52 years in the making ! The setting is beautiful and the meal will be a memory I will cherish. Thankyou

The interior is super nice, the staff is super nice, but oh god that was the blandest Asian food I’ve had in my life. The cocktails were the best part, the sushi was okay but the rice could use more flavoring, and the Pad Thai definitely looked like Pad Thai but tasted nothing like it. At least they cared if we liked the food and why we weren’t satisfied though, like I said the staff was nice, but the food was quite disappointing…

We have no idea how this restaurant has the reviews it does. We traveled all over Costa Rica for 2 weeks and this was the worst meal we had the entire time. We also traveled extensively for months through Southeast Asia and had a lot of authentic food – this was worse than we could have cooked at home. We ordered Tin Jo Special, Korean Chicken and Orange Chicken. All of the sauces were gelatinous and worse than you can buy from a jar in a supermarket in the US. The chicken dishes were barely fried, just soft, mushy breading covered in disgusting sauce. The kitchen didn’t even bother to sprinkle the orange chicken with sesame seeds. Seems to us like the restaurant is lazy, working off their good reviews they received years ago but doing nothing to upkeep them. Even the rice was poorly cooked, clumpy and cold. The drinks were good. The sangria was delicious and so was the tamarind soda. Also the decor was nice, and rooms with decor from different countries was creative. But as far as the food goes, trying to recreate dishes from so many countries well, can be difficult and this restaurant can’t do it. If you come to this area of town and are looking for a great, authentic place to eat, the Argentine place a street away is mind blowing by comparison.

The restaurant is nicely decorated with cultural themes of different countries from Asia. The menu has lot of options ranging from Japanese to Indian traditional meals. The food was cooked well. I ordered the veggie fried rice. The food wasn’t that flavorful initially, but after adding salt & soy sauce the food was very delicious. There’s lots vegetarian options that can be made vegan upon request.
