- JJordanNew York City •9 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThe vibe is awesome! Romantic or trendy/vibe spot w/ friends. The food was excellent and the drinks were good too. The service was not that excellent, but giving some latitude since it was valentine's weekend and seemed to be understaffed. They gave us water glasses but did not give any water until we asked 20 mins later. They forgot one of our appetizers. We had to ask to place an order, as it was difficult to get anyone to return. The server was very nice, informative, and friendly, just seemed unable to be attentive. Will still return.More infoAaktun Coffee + BarPrice: Moderate• Latin American• Durham•4.7
- AAustinRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoWent on the Saturday after Valentine's Day it was an excellent choice. Be aware that you will be sitting very close to the tables next to you. However the food is phenomenal, everything we ordered was outstanding and the front of house staff was very attentive.More infoTaberna TapasPrice: Moderate• Tapas / Small Plates• Durham•4.8

- HHannahRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoI generally don’t write reviews, but JuJu Durham deserves all the stars and praise. If I could have eaten everything on the menu, I would have! My partner and I enjoyed the sizzling sisig with bing bread, drunken noodles, bomb a** shrimp, and the bao donuts. When I tell you that we were savoring every bite, I am not lying. Everything was cooked to perfect and came out at the perfect time from meal to meal. The hostess and waitress were very attentive — waters were never empty, we weren’t waiting forever to order, etc. My only comment was that it was pretty loud in the restaurant when it gets busy, so if you want something intimate maybe Juju is not for you. Overall, 10/10. We will definitely be coming back again and again.More infoJuju DurhamPrice: Expensive• Asian• Durham•4.9
