Juju has delicious and creative food. We have had great meals in the past, but this time we were at a small table between two others very close together. The restaurant is very loud and we had a hard time hearing each other over the conversations happening on either side of us. Sometimes loud places are lively— but this was far louder, so we ate and left.

We loved the Bomba shrimp and the Crispy brussel sprouts. I wish the tables had more space between. Our server was great, he offered options that were spot on. Loved the cocktails!

I 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.
