reserved a seat for dinner at juju
place is pretty
we were seated promptly
there is a parking lot outside for free
charred octopus was overcooked
mushroom soup is great
the bing was not a bing. it was a fluffy pancake
the meat served with it was overcooked
everything was sweet. so sweet I couldn't handle it much anymore.
service was kind .. just too sweet and a lil pricy

This place is a must-stop if you’re in Durham! We had a reservation for a birthday dinner and they sat us quickly. The servers were excellent and knowledgeable, and the food was mind-blowing. The meals are served tapas-style, with the presentation being 10/10. We shared the bing (still thinking about it), ribs, cucumber salad, and the Filipino sisig (highly recommend!) If you’re like us, you’ll want to try everything on the menu.

I don't think this place hit home for us. First off the concept of Asian inspired tapas is great and the selection is unique. The pork belly and chicken buns and dumplings were fantastic and the star of the show was their ramen and tasty cocktails. Service was also really good. The marrow was good, but a bit overpriced for the portion and the lamb was way over fatty and difficult to eat, but the bread that came with it was top notch. The kicker for us was the bill: a credit card surcharge in a very popular location with already pricey food? No thanks. We won't be returning again.

Very cute and cozy. We did lunch. The service was quick and the staff was very nice and took great care of us. The food was fresh and had great flavor but wasn’t overpowering. I personally like my dishes more saucy than this place does the food but the flavor didn’t disappoint. There was also a cute little bar that would be great for happy hour or dinner vibes. My boyfriend really liked the general tso chicken; he got extra peppers in it also. The beef wontons taste way better than they look and the pan seared shrimp wongtongs were bomb! Yummy. I recommend checking them out.

Best restaurant I’ve ever been to. The bing bread, corn (seasonal), and garlic ramen noodles are my absolute FAVORITES! You have to try this place!!

Really delicious food and excellent service. Really like the style and atmosphere inside, nice bar area and large tables to accommodate large groups. Went here for lunch, the apps were delicious and the pork belly banh mi was super savory and well caramelized. Definitely recommend that.

Had a fantastic meal here. You HAVE to get the shrimp. My boyfriend and I got into a real fight because he ate all of them but one when I wasn’t paying attention and I was so mad. Great options and nice atmosphere. Presentation of dishes is cool too.
