Jusla Eats

I'm so freaking glad I finally placed an order. It's hard to write this review because I don't know where to start. The menu changes which is exciting. You can place an Order online and set the time you want to pick it up. The portions are super big, unlike any other place, you get your money worths. For the food review. It's all amazing. I don't have many different ways I can type.. fried crab, bomb. Lobster roll, the beeneez.. garlic fries, oh my gosh amazing. And that wasn't it. Also we ordered the lobster tail and that was so dope. It came with some spicy noodles, then thangs hit.. the whole meal was a home run, touchdown, 3 point basket, hat trick. I could go on

Jusla Eats is maybe the new pop-up, definitely a catering spot, located in the classic Flora spot that closed last year and then became Palmetto, which also closed. Offering Cajun/southern-influenced cuisine, and a rotating menu, it adds some much needed life into a spot that has been hurt over Covid, but also may hurt some locals as well.I had just dropped off my bike to get fixed on 19th and walking past the closed and being updated Duende, I saw new signs outside what I still thought was Flora until a helpful woman popped out and gave me the run down: the chef, Lala Harrison is making some new Cajun and Southern food, which was evident by the menu. It was interesting as it isn't split between lunch and dinner yet, with Steak Frites and Crab Boil listed on the menu above a fried catfish poboy and a fried chicken sandwich.I had been craving Masabaga, which is still figuring out if they want to be open for lunch or not, and their loss was Jusla's gain. I asked the others in line what they had ordered before and it sounds like we all just showed up. I ended up going with the very affordable and big cornbread and fried chicken sandwich.Now fried chicken is in overabundance in Uptown Oakland. In less than a mile radius you have World Famous Hotboys, Gus's World Famous Chicken, Catered 2 U, Krispy Krunchy Chicken, Popeyes, The Organic Coup, Quick Bite, Aburaya, Hopscotch, Sam's Crispy Chicken, Miss Ollie's, & Brown Sugar Kitchen, and that doesn't include spots that have fried chicken like Bhugay's, Belly, Taiwan Bento, Ike's and even Luka's has a fried chicken sandwich. That's a lot of competition, so you need to stand out. The chicken sandwich was good, but wouldn't say it is the best in the area. But her other items help. A Taco Tuesday night featuring burritos, enchiladas, and southern fusion tacos sounds interesting and I'm going to assume better than Xolo. The crab and garlic noodles look great, the lobster and pineapple fried rice dishes seem to give Trap Kitchen a run for their money (and seriously, what schmuck is ordering a $40 pineapple fried rice bowl?), so I feel they can carve themselves out a niche, but may be ahead of the curve when it comes to Uptown reopening. I can see Jusla innovating and evolving to stay in the area, and will support the changes. Hopefully they are the first of the new area and hopefully drive more support to the other spots in the area too.

I ordered food for my birthday and Chef Lala and her team did a fantastic job and provided such fantastic service. The meal was delicious! The salt and pepper crab and lobster are out of this world. Highly recommended!

This spot is off the hook. Went there for lunch and the food was so good. The Catfish PoBoy was good and the Chicken Sandwich was amazing according to my co-worker. The food is seasoned so well. I can't stop talking about how good my experience was. My workers are all talking about how good their food was. They raved about the Mac n Cheese and Jambalaya. They have a few spots to sit out outside and enjoy the weather.

Great to see a restaurant filling this prime spot across from The Fox Theater. I tried the Cajun Cali Cheesesteak with Cajun Fries.The sandwich was high quality and delicious. However, it was rather spicy and I believe there were Jalapeños on it - which wasn't a listed ingredient on the menu. Once I removed them the rest of the sandwich tasted much better. Staff: Please add this to the ingredient list on the menu if they were indeed Jalapeños.The Cajun Fries were a bit on the hot end. I had to take my time eating them. However, they are Cajun fries so I expected it.Staff was friendly. Prices were a bit on the high end, so I don't see myself coming back regularly.

Always fresh, always great. Chef & staff are clean & sanitized. Very professional, awesome customer service. Delivery or pickup. No complaints and I've been ordering from her for awhile now. Food never lasts lol. She cooks from the soul (you can taste the love). I 1000% recommend!!!!!!

JusLa catered my best friend's proposal and went above and beyond to make the day special! From communication and setup, to service and the INCREDIBLE meals, I can't wait to be treated with Chef LaLa's food again. Can't recommend enough!!!

Lobster and crab quesadilla GAF! Ordered online food was ready and super hot at pickup!!...

I had Jusla eats Thanksgiving food delivered the food was amazing. But the judge of how good the food was by my 98 year old mother, she eats very little. She had three helpings and wanted more. Often we can't get her to eat a full meal. Big thank you to Chef LaLa and her crew for feeding us this Thanksgiving!!

All items on the menu taste great and are seasoned well. Portion sizes are also very filling and the Lemonade is also a great addition.
