    This was my 2nd time coming here! I surprised my boyfriend for his birthday. Our waiter, Juan, was awesome! He gave really great recommendations & attended to us regularly throughout the night. I love how at 8:30pm the music vibes change to more late night vibes! Great food. We loved the spicy edamame, crispy rice tuna, Keoni roll, & the golden dragon! We also got the miso cake and the Vietnamese dessert too! We will definitely be coming back!!

    We were a group of 8 who decided to have pre-dinner drinks and light snacks at Julep for Valentine’s Day. This was my first time going and I was not disappointed. The ambiance was really nice in the room they sat us. Almost felt like a speakeasy to me. The cheddar popcorn and French onion dip with caviar were delicious. Drinks were great and the staff were nice and attentive. Overall, we enjoyed our time there and I would go back to try more of the menu items.
