If you're looking for casual Asian food in Duluth, Jusgo Food Court is one of those places where you can grab groceries and end up leaving with a full meal, too.
Jump to:
Located in the Jusgo Supermarket, the food court has a mix of small counters serving different Asian cuisines. You can find everything from Cantonese BBQ and Taiwanese dishes to ramen, noodles, snacks, and drinks - all in a low-key food-court setting.
I've visited more times than I can count over the years, and this post is a look at a few of the places I've personally tried. These are not the only things I've ordered at Jusgo Food Court-they're simply some of the meals I found photos of while putting this guide together!
This also isn't meant to be a complete guide to every stall, since the food-court lineup can change, but these are some good places to start.
About Jusgo Food Court
Jusgo Food Court is one of my favorite types of places to visit when no one can agree on one cuisine. One person can get Cantonese BBQ over rice, someone else can get a Taiwanese bento or noodles, and everybody can still sit down together.
It's also a great stop if you're already shopping at Jusgo (my fave place to grab Asian groceries!). I always recommend giving yourself a little extra time, because grocery shopping while hungry around all of these food counters is dangerous. 😂 Maybe hit up the food court first!
BBQ Corner
BBQ Corner is one of my go-to spots at Jusgo when I'm craving a comforting, no-frills Cantonese BBQ meal.
On my most recent visit, I ordered the two-meat combo over rice with soy sauce chicken (豉油雞) and crispy roasted pork (燒肉). The plate came with white rice, napa cabbage, soup, and you can also always grab some complimentary hot tea - exactly the kind of complete, satisfying food-court meal I love.
The meats are displayed hanging at the counter, then chopped to order and assembled quickly with plenty of sauce over the rice. The soy sauce chicken is tender and savory, while the roasted pork brings that crispy skin and rich pork flavor.
If you want more details and photos from this meal, I also wrote a full post about BBQ Corner's Cantonese BBQ at Jusgo.
Yes Formosa
Yes Formosa is one of the food-court counters I visit when I'm in the mood for a Taiwanese-style bento. We've tried both the Taiwanese Sweet Sausage Bento (台灣香腸飯) and the Beef Brisket Bento (牛腩飯).
The Taiwanese Sweet Sausage Bento came with sliced Taiwanese sausage, rice topped with braised pork sauce, a braised egg, vegetables, and pickled greens. Ever since my husband has tried Taiwanese Sausage he has been obsessed so this was his most recent order:
The Beef Brisket Bento was especially hearty, with tender braised beef brisket, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, and a braised egg over rice. The savory braising sauce ties everything together and makes it a comforting one-bowl meal.
Kumai Ramen
Kumai Ramen is a good food-court choice when you want something warm and filling. One bowl I tried was the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen.
It has a rich pork broth with tonkotsu paste and chili oil, plus thick noodles, two slices of pork chashu, green onions, corn, kikurage mushrooms, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, and a seasoned egg. The chili oil gives the creamy pork broth a noticeable kick, while all of the toppings make it feel like a full, satisfying meal.
ViVi Bubble Tea
ViVi Bubble Tea is another Taiwanese option inside Jusgo Food Court. Of course, they have bubble tea, but they also have snacks and bento boxes!
Chris especially loves their bento boxes, so it's one of his go-to choices whenever we stop by Jusgo. We don't have a good recent photo of it yet, but it definitely deserves a mention for anyone looking for a casual Taiwanese-style meal or a drink to go with their food-court order.
Tips for Visiting Jusgo Food Court
- Come hungry... but eat first, then go grocery shopping. Trust me: shopping at Jusgo while hungry is how you end up buying a whole lot more than you planned. 😂
- Go with a group if you can. The variety is part of the fun, especially when everyone wants something different.
- Order from individual counters. Each vendor operates separately, so you'll generally order and pay at the specific stall.
- Check current vendors and hours before you go. Food-court counters and hours can change. They also take different days off so if you are specifically wanting one thing you may just want to double check!
Is Jusgo Food Court Worth Visiting?
Absolutely - especially if you enjoy exploring different Asian foods without committing to one full-service restaurant.
For a dependable, filling meal, BBQ Corner is still one of my favorites. But that's what makes Jusgo Food Court useful: you can keep coming back, try a different counter each time, and turn it into an easy little food adventure in Duluth.
