Open-air fireplaces, a spacious patio and Asian-fusion tapas and cocktails await you at the edge of Durham’s lively Ninth Street district. Juju serves up small plates with bold flavors, each prepared creatively with attention to tradition, whimsy, local integrity, and, of course, deliciousness. In addition to its extensive menu, Juju also features a dynamic beverage program of hand-made cocktails, extensive Sake selections, artisan wines and craft beers.
This is by far the best culinary experience I've had in a while. Was here to celebrate my recent marriage with my partner, and she agrees wholeheartedly. We touched a little of everything, and I can't think of a bad dish. The wontons were nice and light, not heavy and over fried. The tofu buns were also great and the bok choy was so tender and not bitter. Scallops and the sesame tuna were cooked perfectly. Included are some pictures of our deserts, which were just as good as everything else. Cocktails were phenomenally blended, I don't think I can recommend them enough. The entire experience was 5 stars, and tops my list of places visited for 2024. Highly recommended, and worth the price!

So my Family and I (Robin Gibbs) visited 11/25. This is our (my husband and I) 4th visit in less than 2 weeks and between Kate, Brea and the food. I need a reservation every week. Kate greeted me by name and Brea remembered my order. We tried the crispy Brussels sprouts and they were amazing. When I say this is the BEST restaurant around, I totally mean it and appreciate every server in here but especially Kate and Brea.
Yes I concur mom! I will be making additional trips from Greensboro to enjoy the ambience phenomenal hospitality, personable personality and warm welcome. Thank you Juju chef/waitresses/staff‼️

Made reservations for a party of 2 and was greeted immediately and sat promptly. Our server Nate came over immediately to welcome us as well by asking if we have dined here before, which the answer was no. Nate let us know that most dishes were served tapas style so we decided to try 3 small plates and then 1 main dish. To drink i ordered the Sangria which had pineapple, pomegranate, lychee, cava. It was ok, really just tasted like dry red wine without any of the fruits but I still enjoyed it. We then ordered the Rib Wontons, Dumplings, and Bing bread with chive butter and lastly the Mongolian Beef with Potatoes. When I tell you that everything was fantastic and seasoned great, it was. I enjoyed everything so much that I made reservations for my birthday celebration in December for a party of 10. I look forward to coming back.

Dining at Juju was an exceptional experience. The food was exquisite. Each dish was a masterpiece, with high quality ingredients and flawless presentation. Every bite was packed with flavor and perfectly balanced for sure. The service was impeccable, with attentive, knowledgeable staff who made sure every detail was taken care of. The atmosphere was elegant and sophisticated, creating the perfect setting for a special evening out. Highly recommended for those looking for a refined dining experience!
Make sure to make a reservation ahead of time to avoid waiting since they are always busy and operate for few hours a day for lunch and dinner.

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.

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.
