The servers and the food was amazing. The host did seem to have an attitude for some reason when I said two people bailed on us and it just ended up being us two eating there. Other than that compliments to the server

Excellent ambiance. The food was also excellent. Service was very friendly and the food arrives to the table very fast. Price was not too bad but a little on the higher side. We will definitely go back!

My husband and I loved the bright light coming in from the windows, the quiet ambience, the sincerely attentive service and the extremely tasty freshly cooked food. Plus the brown butter pot de creme was amazing! I had the General Tso's Chicken and it was perfectly spiced with the best braised cabbage leaves. Delicious! Well worth the price for all that we enjoyed. We will definitely visit again and regularly.

Juju is one of the very best in the Triangle on all counts — food, service and atmosphere. All of the staff — Kate, Jake, Danny , Kai, et al — are among the very the best of any restaurant in the Triangle.

The ambience is really cool and I can see why people are drawn to it BUT our experience was so bad. Our waiter had the personality of a potato and it really ruined our first impression. We tried a bunch of dishes, with no help from our server, and the food was pretty good. Nothing spectacular. The drinks were yummy and the bar was super packed. I didn’t like how the bar was reservations only, it makes for grabbing a quick drink impossible. All in all I wouldn’t go back.

We haven’t been to JuJu in years and decided to revisit before heading to DPAC. It was a MUCH different experience this time. Two-person tables were ridiculously small. I get it - cram people in to make a buck but with multiple small plates, water, drinks … not nearly enough room. The food went downhill. The restaurant is beautiful tho.
