We have gone many times to ja ja. Its always a nice experience. Creative vegan cooking and a nice location in North Williamsburg. The one small issue is they try to push you out for their next reservation a lot. For example I think offering us a check without asking about dessert is part of that strategy. Perhaps this is the norm in popular places with limited space. Not sure. Otherwise highly recommended.
