Some of the best Asian food I’ve had in a while! The dumplings were great, the tea smoked salmon was outstanding, the drunken noodles with NC shrimp were amazing (you could tell the shrimp were east coast fresh) and the lemongrass hangar steak was awesome. I don’t give many five stars and don’t even rate many restaurants online, but this one deserves it! So good we made a lunch reservation for tomorrow to try more dishes.

Everyone on staff was kind, friendly and helpful. We ordered 5 dishes and each was distinctive, delicious and beautifully presented. Great options for gluten and dairy sensitivities. Can’t wait to go back!

First time visiting JuJu through friends and family members rave about it. We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, cocktails / cocktails and especially the food before our DPAC show. The staff and servers were awesome and all of the food was creative, unique and delicious. The Bomb a$$ Shrimp was a favorite along with the short rib wontons. Will definitely be back!

Delicious food but super tiny portions that you are expected to share (I guess that’s tapas, it was our first visit so we didn’t know what to expect), the server was great and the ambience was beautiful. The music was a bit loud for my in-laws who are both “deaf” haha, but I didn’t mind too much, it was a lively good looking interior. Music was a bit loud to try and have a personal conversation without feeling like you’re yelling. The food came out incredibly fast one at a time, plated beautifully but again for these prices, we were hoping to go home with a full belly, not be as hungry as we were walking out the door.
