JUJU

The food was delicious. I have never eaten raw sushi and was nervous but I ordered the Pressed Salmon. Not only was it fun to watch them make it which was a work of art but it was absolutely delicious and when we were done with our meal we ordered another one because it was so good. The decor was filled with things from my childhood. I absolutely love this restaurant and will definitely be back!

You know I love my tastings!! Has to be one of the most unique and flavorful tastings I’ve ever had! I love JUJU’s selections and how creative all of their dishes are. The service here is always impeccable. I’ve been multiple times and everyone is extremely kind, knowledgeable and thoughtful! Great place!

Our experience at JuJu was an amazing experience full of flavor, flowers, and fun! This guided tour of the seas of Japan and the delectable taste held within will leave you satisfied and happy! Topped it off with Japanese Sake Culture with a tasting experience that made you feel like you were in the heart of Japan! The delicious dessert finished the evening perfectly! Good people, good fish, good times! Enjoy!

This place had amazing food, and drinks. They have a the world’s best mixologist. The service was amazing too. They were very quick to bring out the food and attentive to detail. The ambiance is low key, a mom and pop restaurant, with a loud dining room so may not be able to have deep conversations, but great with a loud bunch of friends! We have literally ordered everything on the menu, and everything is tasty and so creatively made!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Orlando. Everything was amazing! The food is presented beautifully and tastes just as good as it looks. Fun atmosphere and great service.

There aren’t even words that can describe how unique of a dining experience this place is. Juju is the sister store to Susuru and because of how small the store is you’d easily miss this place if you weren’t looking for it. They have a lounge to chill at near the bar and unique Japanese lantern decorations and posters on the walls that really make the atmosphere different from just about any place you’ll go dine at. Now with that said, everything was delicious! You definitely have to get the Tebu Gyoza Wings, A5 Wagyu Gyoza, Hamachi Kama and Chicken Karaage if you’re going to get starters. If you love sushi then get the dry aged sashimi set and otoro set. Those had such a nice depth of dry aged flavor in each piece of fish. The Yakitori and Kushiyaki shine with the texture of the meats, the flavors of each meat and that nice char grilled taste that just lingers after you’ve finished it leaving you craving more. Definitely get the beef tongue, ribeye, pork jowl and king mushroom skewers. They unfortunately ran out of ice cream for the night because they sold that many but beware that it is one flavor a day and it rotates each day so you cannot order each flavor that they have to try them all. I would love to come back again and try some of the menu items I didn’t get to try the first time. It is a bit pricey but honestly you need to give Juju a try, like as in right now.

Ok. So far the single best Japanese cuisine place in Orlando. There’s no ramen here, and they don’t need it. We got the Okonomiyaki, Chicken Karaage, Mentaiko Udon, and the Susuru Chashu Gohan and were blown away by the last two. We also got the Elixir cocktail, which has a Hurricane vibe. We’ll definitely come again to try other items in the menu, but this far I can say this is among the best places in and near the Milk / Mills 50 district areas. Also, the vibe is amazing.

I cannot believe I slept on JUJU like I have, Susuru is one of my favorite restaurants and its sister restaurant does not disappoint. Stepping into the restaurant I felt transported back to Japan immediately. The food, drinks, and service also do not disappoint.

First time coming to Juju, didn't have to wait at all. First thing, cute decor inside, Japanese theme, very interesting, unique concept, really enjoy it. Drinks came quickly and tasty, we got Real Ori ega and ULTRAMAN 2.0, each $14, which is pretty standard in Orlando. Lots of interesting options in the cocktail menu as well. We started with skewers and susuru gohan (rice with an egg). Chicken skewers are seasoning perfect, and flavorful, needed to order a bunch of skewers, ranges around $3-$5. Chicken karaage came pretty slow (not sure why, order as appetizers but came after we finished almost everything). The white sauce came with it very yummy, crispy chicken too. Love coming here again for sure!

An old Pizza Hut turned fun, semi-funky Japanese cuisine expanding the ever evolving Mills/50 stretch of amazing bites. Met a friend for dinner and did the walk in option vs trying to get a seat at the specialty bar. We were sat right away and we able to share quite a few things despite having differing diets; which everything is meant for that type of experience. Snacks had were Tempura Yasai, Yuzu Street Corn, and Wagu Gyoza. ALL were delicious and plentiful for sharing. I think everything had a unique flavor that complemented the next but nothing was overpowering. The curry cream sauce for the veggies was just the right ratio and the black garlic sauce for the wagu gyoza was divine. By far my favorite dish of the night!! Also tried the Summer Scallop and while it was good, it was not my preferred as I feel like it was dull in comparison to other items we tried. Maybe should have started with that since it was very light and delicate; although one of the prettiest plates dishes I've ever seen. Our server was super helpful in explaining everything and making suggestions. Highly recommend and cannot wait for my second, third, etc visit!

My son advised us, similar to a nearby famous sushi place, JuJu is a little oricy but worth it. Our $200 dinner including tips included several hand-made cooked-from-scratch delicious Japanese items. We had a hot tea and two cocktails, Murasaki No Ame and King Ghidorah, both excellent. We ordered Tako (Octopus) Salad, Karaage, , Teba Gyoza, Wagyu Gyoza, Suzuki Striped Bass, Smoked Duck, and Dry Aged Fish Special, all in appetizer size, ranged from $11 to $29. We enjoyed the decorations with some selective Japanese displays which represent the last century including a b&w Toshiba tv, a scooter, etc. We actually had a great dining experience. Every time a table is set, the whole staff said welcome in Japanese. Even the bill was presented their way, in a small wooden box. Soe, our server, was very friendly and recommended us excellent choices of cocktails and food. Yoku yatta, JuJu Team! Gr8 job!

Finally waited for the popularity of this place to die down a bit since the grand opening so I am check it out without waiting in line. They did a remarkable job transforming the old Pizza Hut location into a retro izakaya. It was freezing in there so I recommended bringing a cardigan. We had to ask our server if they could turn up the ac and thankfully they did. Food- tried the chicken meatball tsusuke. Yakitori-momo chicken thigh, rib eye, pork belly, for the mini bowl we tried susuru gohan which is raw egg yolk cured with soy sauce in a bowl of rice, it was amazing! We also had the chicken karaage, which is fried chicken and that came with a good amount and was filling. For drinks I had the butterfly pea infused gin with lavender and lime. It was strong and one of the best cocktails I've had in a long time. I'll definitely be back there's so many small plates to try, the udon mini bowl looked amazing too!

I have been wanting to visit Juju for some time now and finally got around to it. I ordered a variety of different things off the menu and was extremely impressed. The staff were brilliant, and welcomed everyone as they walked through the door. Plenty of seating, with great decor throughout the restaurant. Would absolutely recommend visiting if you haven't already! I will add that it may be an idea to bring a sweater as the AC was a little cold!

This was my first time going to a restaurant like this, so I felt a little intimidated by the menu. There were a lot of terms I didn't understand. I wanted to try something adventurous, so I got the chirashi in masu box. The sushi rice was perfectly cooked and the assorted sashimi felt fresh, but both had a weird taste to it. I think it was probably some sort of seasoning that I'm not used to. The sashimi was topped with uni (sea urchin), ikura (fish eggs), and Japanese pickles. That day I learned I don't like the taste of any of those foods. However, I also tried the Japanese pancake and the chicken karaage and I thought both of those dishes were out-of-this-world delicious! The prices matched the quality and quantity of the dishes. I liked that you can go all out and get a $20+ dish or you can go tapas-style and get a bunch of smaller plates for as low as $3. Something I absolutely loved about this place was the decoration. It had these cool, retro Japanese vibes. They also have a comfy sitting area, so that's a nice option if you're looking for something more relaxed. Our server was super friendly and helpful, but the food did take a long time to come out. I thought that was weird because the restaurant was pretty much empty. I would come again, but personally, I'd stick to the dishes I already know I like.

3.5-4 stars We were continuing our expedition of exploring Japanese snack/bar food. We loved the ambiance of this restaurant, looks like a little Japanese izakaya. We got the following: Beef tenderloin skewer: 4 chunks of juicy, savory beef Tongue: good but not amazing. I felt like it needed something besides salt to make the flavors memorable. Wagyu dumplings: as a dumpling it's fine. But you don't really get to appreciate much wagyu flavor or texture when it's made into a dumpling. Tuna negi: my husband got this and thought it tasted very fresh. He preferred the one at Norigami though

My first dining here and we came during happy hour. My coworkers ordered the delicious happy hour drinks and I ordered the Happy Hour Blur Fin Don. Honestly, the blue fin don was my favorite thing! I also really enjoyed the chicken kaagare, with the yuzu dipping sauce. Delicious! Service was top notch. She checked on us often and made sure we could order more when we wanted. Tip, gratuity is included in parties 6 or more. The ambiance is so Japan! The theming is one of my favorite things about this restaurant. The anime music, Japanese displays, its so cool!

Juju has become my new go to for atmosphere and delicious food. They were surprisingly out of the matcha for the matcha mule but were able to make a delicious substitute- I believe it was berry forward. The service was great and the food is memorable. Such a great place to go to to catch up with friends and enjoy a meal together. I do recommend getting there when they open - there can be a line waiting to get in.

I've been here a few times and I've always loved everything here. Compare to their tasting menu, the a la carte items don't fall short. They are just as tasty and creative. My favorites from the current a la carte menu are the Teba Gyoza (stuffed chicken wings) and Shoyu Smoked Duck. The wings were stuffed with lots of ingredients, so delicious and nicely charred. The smoked duck was to die for, perfectly cooked, tender, and the sauces complement the meat so well. Everything else we had were also very good but those 2 are at the top for me. The server was very timely and efficient. We never felt like we were waiting for him to come by. He was very good at coming to check on us at the right time and came to clear the table when plates were emptied. Awesome service! Parking wasn't bad since there's a parking lot (Target plaza) but the traffic can be a bit crazy in the area so make sure you give yourself a bit of time to turn into the plaza and find parking.

We went for dinner on a Saturday and there was already a line forming outside before the doors even opened. We got seated pretty quickly once the line started going. The host was nice, but server was okay. We got a wide variety of dishes, from yakitori to the mentai udon to the smoked duck. Each dish came out as it was cooked and it was fun to try everything. Our personal favorites was the chicken karaage - light and juicy - and the chicken tsukune with garlic aioli. The mentai udon was definitely lacking flavor. It felt too watered down in my opinion and could've used more mentai. The smoked duck was also good, it just took a long time to come out. The beef tenderloin yakitori was juicy and well-flavored. However, the ribeye yakitori was charred to a black well-done brick. The heart yakitori wasn't bad but the pieces were tiny, especially when compared to other yakitori restaurants. Food was good to try, but the service got worse and worse through the night. We asked for hot sauce from 3 different servers and never got it. We asked for a side of rice from 2 different servers and it didn't come until the end of our meal when they brought the check. What's the point of having it and not even being able to eat it with the meal? The worst part was that no one cared enough to check on our table. More than 30 minutes had gone by without us being checked up on and as former restaurant workers, this is unacceptable to us. I understand being busy, but would still make sure my tables are doing okay. Our server was arrogant and we left with no appetite in a terrible mood. Great concept but we will not be coming back.

I was there last night with my friend to try out this restaurant! I heard about it but finally got a chance to come! We did not want to take our chance so we were there around 510 pm when they are opening at 530. We waited right outside the door and want to be sure to be able to get in. At 530 when it opened, there is about 5 groups of guests including us. Once you walked in, you are emerged into the world of Japanese old toys! I love the decorations and decors! It is very old school Japan! All the signs and lanterns are so cool! So much to look at. The staff are very friendly. Our server came to us fairly quickly and since it was my first time, she explained to us that everything was prepared after we ordered so it may take a little longer got get to us and just prepped us for the wait time! We ended up ordering black sesame tofu, Japanese pancake as appetizers, then thigh and ribeye grilled, Susuru gohan bowl, susuru chashu gohan bowl. I also have green tea! The green tea is so good! Then the food finally came! It looks so good and the taste are out of this world! Black sesame tofu is sweet and savory! The pistachios added additional crunch to the soft and silky tofu and black sesame sauce on top! The grilled thigh (momo yakitori) is very yummy that is two big pieces with skin on it! It is a very fulfilling bite! Then I have the ribeye one ( ribeye kushiyaki) it is just cooked and the inside is a little red but perfect texture! Then I went on to my susuru chashu gohan, it has chopped chashu, green onions, red pickled ginger, rice and some sauces! It is an amazing combination. Then here came the Japanese pancake (okonomiyaki) It is filled with cabbages and all the yummy sauces, delicious! Overall it is an amazing dinner and I cannot wait to come back and try something else!!!

Decided to check this place out during our short weekend trip to Orlando! Initially planned to get different yakitori with drinks but could not pass on the sea food platter, so we got the seafood platter and mentai udon and few yakitori. The oysters were small, but juicy and tuna tartar with cavier was just beyond amazing! The atmosphere and vibe were both perfect for casual bar date as well. When you are in town, recommend checking this place out!!

I finally checked out this place after wanting to go for a while now. The customer service was great. The food was delicious. I ordered the Mentaiko Udon, which had a rich and creamy sauce that paired well with the briny spicy cod roe and ikura. It's a great, unique dish that I haven't come across anywhere else. I also tried the Hatsu(heart) yakitori and the Hiza Nankotsu(knee) yakitori. Both were cooked well and came with lemon and salt that went well with the meats. Both tasted very good, it's a matter of preference as to which is better. The restaurant is decorated a lot like Susuru, with plenty of interesting Japanese-themed items. I didn't try any drinks this time but the options looked really good and I'll have to try one next time.

This is a cute restaurant. It is a sister restaurant of Susuru, except a little more low key. The decor is adorable and authentic. Lots of nostalgic toys, magazines and cultured pictures on the wall. Really feels like you are in a restaurant somewhere in Japan. The food menu is Japanese Tapas. It is made to order so it is brought out as soon as it's made. Some items take longer and some are quick. If it's your first time here, the menu may seem confusing. I suggest going on Yelp to look at pictures to get an idea. My favorite was the Hamachi Kama. Everything we ordered was delicious. Some of the items were more expensive than what it was worth. For that, I took away a star. This place is more for those who loves Asian food and does not mind tasting different items. Some of the items here does taste authentic and fresh.

I was really excited to try this restaurant but because it is far away from where we live (Winter Haven), it took us awhile to go here but we happened to be in the area today and honestly it is worth the drive. We would order just about everything we ate again and I considered ordering another plate of the Wagyu gyoza before leaving but wanted to savor the memory. Natasha was our server and she www very attentive without being overbearing. Our must orders include: Wagyu hambagu, Wagyu tasting sampler, Wagyu gyoza, Teba gyoza and the chirashi box. Everything we ordered was good but these were outstanding and we highly recommend. Great service, great food, could not ask for more!

My SIL booked the restaurant to host her hubs grad party. We had the place to ourselves from 2-5pm. Full menu was available and they also did some preset selections as well. This gave us the ability to try a few things. Staff was very friendly and attentive. They kept drinks refilled and helped make suggestions on cocktails and rice bowls. We ordered the susuru chasu gohan rice bowl which was quite tasty. It did have some fatty pieces of the pork but I gladly gave those to hubs. I think my fav was the wagu gyoza. For drinks we ordered the matcha mule and Ultraman. Who knew you could make an alcoholic matcha drink!? I absolutely love matcha so I had to try this and it was so good!! Not only tasty but also beautiful presentation. The restaurant is spacious and seating at tables, booth style and bar.

Was fun the food was good the prices seemed fair. Loved the ambience. Nothing really stood out for me to rush back. The main reason I would go back would be to do the Omakase (chefs choice).

We had a fun culinary experience at JuJu. The line to enter the restaurant starts before it opens, so make sure you get there early. We had a few dishes, and they were all delicious. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We would come back again.

Delicious food and great service. We loved the vibes inside here. We arrived on a Thursday near opening time to ensure we would be seated without a wait. We had to wait a few minutes, but it was quick. Everything was delicious and we even got to order off the happy hour menu. I would highly recommend!

Food was amazing, did the nigiri experience. You must book! The nigiri experience was a great introduction to the nigiri world.

Had to make a stop by Juju because I loved Susuru! This location is a little bigger, but closely resembles susuru. I personally enjoy the retro decor and the Japanese izakaya setting. I only came in for drinks, but will definitely be back to try some food. I got the matcha mule, which is so cute! The drink itself tasted pretty good; the ginger beer makes it feel like more of a soda. I also tried my boyfriend's murasaki no ame, which was a more subtle and less fizzy cocktail; it was a nice delicious so I stole more than a couple sips. Wait time wasn't as long as expected; we were told a good 45 minutes, but ended up scoring seats at the bar after a good 30 minutes. The bartenders were super nice and rang up our cocktails pretty quickly!

Yummy restaurant with a nice atmosphere! Our server was great and gave us a bunch of recommendations on both food and drinks. we came for a birthday and everything was so good. We've been to susuru, but I would say the drinks are better here at juju. The only thing is they're missing the ramen from susuru. We will definitely be back!

I've never had the chance to visit Japan, but I believe that this place provided me with the closest experience to a genuine Japanese food stall that I could get in Florida. I give it 5 stars for its great food, drinks, service, and ambiance. Food/drink: The Chirashi in Masu Box may be a bit small, but it comes with an interesting twist of rosy rice that differs from the traditional sushi rice. Although I personally would have preferred the traditional rice, the fish, roe, AND uni were incredibly fresh, making it a worthwhile order, especially for just $20. The Chicken Skewer may be small as well, but it is prepared to perfection, with moist, tender, and well-seasoned chicken. I was pleasantly surprised by the Real Nori-Ega cocktail, made with savory infused tequila, yuzu liqueur, and other fancy ingredients like "togarashi." For $8 during happy hour, it was a steal. It was citrusy and had just the right amount of tequila. Ambiance: stepping into Juju was an immediate delight with its super cool/authentic Japanese setting. For those who haven't experienced Izakaya dining before, this place is a must-visit. You can also check out their "sister" restaurant, Susuru, for a similar experience. Juju has managed to process and reformulate materials from Japan to create a super fun, colorful, and aesthetically pleasing environment.

WOW! Absolutely phenomenal food, service, and atmosphere! As soon as I walked in I couldn't stop looking around at all of the cool Japanese toys, artifacts, artwork, and photos all over the room. The host was very friendly and our server was so kind and helpful. We ordered a little bit of everything and absolutely loved all of it! The quality was top notch and worth every penny. -Vegetable tempura - Best tempura I've ever had! The batter was crisp and flavorful and the sauce was creamy and had a subtle curry flavor - so good! -Karaage - the star of the meal! Best karaage I've ever had! Crispy on the outside, tender perfectly cooked chicken on the inside, flavorful batter, and the lemony salt on top was amazing. Seriously don't miss out on this! -Tsukune chicken meatball- So tender and flavorful! Loved the spicy mentaiko and garlic mayo to dip in. Our server said the meatball is already marinated in the tare sauce, so we opted for the other two sauces. -Mentaiko Fries - So yummy! The fries were pan-seared and had a nice smoky char to them that went so well with the nori and mentaiko sauce. -Wagyu dumplings - the Wagyu melts in your mouth, and the black garlic sauce on the plate complimented it so well. -Yuzu street corn - delicious sauce and seasonings, nicely charred corn, very similar to Elote, thoughtful presentation with a skewer on one end to make it easier to eat -Matcha mule - super cute presentation with a flower and candies, but we were expecting more matcha flavor. The flavor of the matcha was overpowered by the vodka and ginger beer, but it was still good! Can't wait to be back here and try more!

I have been here many times as a casual diner. However, I wanted to review one of their specialty items. Juju does various elevated dining events such as their Kappo. For New Years, I decided to give their osechi box a try, and it did not disappoint! On the pricier side st $150 and only available for NYE pre-order, it promised unique items like dry-aged fish, A5 Wagyu, duck, and more...and it delivered! High recommend checking out Juju for both everyday dining and unique options like this or omakase.

Went to try their dry aged sushi with a friend and was not disappointed. Great course. It may not seem like a lot but was very full afterwards. The dry aging changes the texture but retains the flavor. Have enjoyed dry aged sushi before but if you haven't I definitely recommend it. Service was impeccable. They have a small couch waiting area where they direct you to while you're waiting for your seat. A great selection of mixed drinks with some pretty interesting combinations. Not much of a drinker myself but very flavorful. The sushi chefs go over each dish and even bring out the fish to show how the dry aging process affects the meat. It was even interactive where you could touch the fish! Highly recommend juju. Some of their meals are ticketed though so recommend you follow them on IG to make sure you know when to be on the look out!

5 stars all around. I've eaten at the Kappo bar for the dry aged omakase experience, as well as the normal dining room and both are incredible. The host is always friendly and welcoming, the ambiance is always playful and light, and the food is always fresh and delicious. They have a wide selection of fun drinks, my personal favorites being the Mt Fuji and the Matcha Mule. The food portions are generous for the price considering the quality of the ingredients they use. Many of the dishes come with heaps of fresh uni and ikura - truffle can be added too. The dishes are tapas style so they are not full entree sized, but you can mix and match to build a complete and exceptional meal, customized to your choosing. One of my favorite dishes in Orlando is Juju's creamy Mentaiko udon, topped with egg yolk and ikura. I constantly find myself craving these noodles. The serving could be enough for one but I also recommend paring this dish with any of the grilled meat options such as the chicken meatball which is large and juicy. The susuru gohan rice bowls are another great option and safe bet for the less adventurous eater, which can come with or without pork belly or egg yolk. They have a wide selection of raw appetizers and hot snack appetizers too. I've had most of the items on the menu and I have never been disappointed. Juju has become my new regular spot and it's high on my list of restaurant recommendations for anyone visiting Orlando, or locals looking for something out of the ordinary. Oh also bonus points for the super cute decor!

JUJU is an absolutely wonderful restaurant! If you have been wanting to visit this restaurant, we were in the same boat - we drove past this place almost every day and always wondered...I'm so happy we finally went! We walked in at 6:15 on a Friday night and were immediately seated (though do expect at times this place can have a wait; it is a very popular spot), and the atmosphere inside is just awesome! It's like you transported back in time to retro 1980s Japan. Amazing decorations everywhere! The food is exceptional - high-end inventive Japanese bar food that will leave you craving more! We got a lot of different dishes on our first visit: wagyu gyoza, chicken karaage, yuzu street corn, okonomiyaki, char-grilled tako salad, grilled striped bass, tsukune (Japanese meatballs) and kawa (chicken skin) yakitori, and ribeye kushiyaki! It was a LOT of food, and you definitely don't need to order this much for two people, but the nice thing about JUJU is you can get a wide variety of different things off their menu because it's all small and tapas-style! Our absolute favorites were the char-grilled tako salad (a MUST TRY; literally one of the best octopus dishes we have ever had), wagyu gyoza (also some of the best dumplings we've ever had), grilled striped bass (the charcoal grill flavor with yuzu sauce was on a whole new level of good) and okonomiyaki (just perfect...exactly like what we had when visiting Japan a few years ago) - however, we would literally order everything again. There wasn't a single thing that was just "okay"...it was all amazing. I can't wait to visit JUJU again - this will certainly not be our last! Check this place out!!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Orlando. A great Izakaya with options for many different dietary restrictions (veggie/pescatarian/nut-free/etc). They also have a great cocktail/beer and wine menu that provides a diversity of options depending on the vibe of the night. I also gotta say that they use high quality ingredients for these dishes. The fish will melt in your mouth. 10/10 recommend.

Such a cute lil spot in town! I've been a huge fan of their sister restaurant Susuru over by I-Drive so I'm glad they opened up something closer for us locals! I forgot to take pictures because we were eating everything as they were setting it down lol All of the Yasaimaki we tried was great, my favorite was the shishito peppers and we tried the gyoza to start. We shared a lot of random plates and got to try a bit of everything, which is my favorite way to eat with friends :) But I love that they pay homage to the Pizza Hut building they reside in now. The red cup is a great touch.

Environment is a lovely old vintage Japanese aesthetic. Seating is lovely and service was quick consistent as well which is expected. Great place for small eats with friends or your date ! Ordered a "That Old Pizza Hut" cocktail which honestly tasted like a sweeter version of an Old Fashion with whipped cream on top. Ordered the "Mentaiko Udon" Bowl that includes spicy cod roe, sake, butter, and the marinated egg. It overall tasted so fresh and light that ties so well with the sweet yet savory taste of the "cream". Appetizers/Snacks: Mentaiko Fries - Always order these!! Fries are topped with spicy cod roe mayo that we ask extra of along with nori as a finish. Char Grilled Tako Salad - Octopus grilled with seasonal greens and a lovely vinaigrette to finish off as a lovely dressing. Octopus was tender, overall very citrusy and refreshing as a salad. Meat Skewers: Beef Tenderoin - Recommended! Topped with nicely chopped onions(?). Meat was cooked nicely(rare/medium rare) which felt like it dissolved when chewed a few times. Beef Tongue - Recommended! Meaty, tender, & such a beautiful beefy flavor that felt addicting. Chicken Momo(thigh) - Recommended! Presents such a juicy meat which also has crispy skin . Overall, me and my girlfriend loves coming here as a date. Juju never fails as a spot to have righteous eats. :)

We have been wanting to check out Juju for sometime and we arrive right at opening thinking it would be busy, but we were one of two couples for a bit. I don't know why this place is not more packed every night! The service was fantastic and the food is phenomenal. It was happy hour on a Thursday so we started with the Juju Old Fashioned and stuck with that because it was perfectly strong. But I want to come back and try the "That Old Pizza Hut" cocktail -- love the nod to the Pizza Hut that used to inhabit the space. We ordered the Chicken Karaage, Mentaiko Fries, Momo Yakitori, Susuru Chashu Gohan, and the sushi special for the night! The chicken karaage were better than others I've had at other local restaurants! My husband pointed it out that there was more seasoning and less unnecessary breading. I finished off all the fries at the end of our meal despite being full because I couldn't stop. I'd like them ever so slightly crispier but they were addicting. I will need to not order these next time so I can try other amazing menu items. The yakitori was delish and the sushi was fresh and came out pre-soy sauced which I appreciated. But the star for me was the susuru chashu gohan little rice bowl. The tang of the pickled ginger or "beni shoga" mixed with the braised pork belly and all of it together was just the perfect flavors. I'll order this next time again for sure. Seats for most of the tables are made from Kirin crates and the decor made it feel like you're in a Japanese Shokudo. We will definitely be back to try out even more! (My only complaint is no purse hook in the ladies bathroom -- come on now, Target is in your lot. Go buy a hook and drill it on the door, not too hard!)

I can't get enough of Juju. The quality of the food is amazing and they have a great variety of fish and meats to eat from. My favorite raw fish plate is the chirashi box. They are not stingy when it comes to this box. The amount of fish and tobiko in the box is abundant. My other favorite plate is the Mentaiko Udon. It's a hearty dish that is just like a carbonara but an Asian version. The gyoza dumplings are a great starter. Super juicy and packed with flavor when you bite in. All the meats on the skewers are also very tasty. I like going for the chicken heart and the pork tenderloin. For drinks my favorite ones are the matcha mule and the king ghidorah.

i absolutely love this place! whatever i order never disappoints. a few of our favorites are: tokyo iced tea, king ghidorah drink, hamachi kama, tako salad, wagyu hambagu, and the yuzu street corn!! i can't rave enough about the street corn, it's packed with a ton of flavor! the decor of this place is super fun and the staff has always been friendly and attentive even when they get busy. been here a few times and their level of service never wavers, thank you natasha and cam!

Was excited to try this new spot and am happy we stopped by, but not running to go back. The interior has a fun look to it. We sat at the bar bc it was packed, but two bar seats were open. We didn't have to wait, which was great. We ordered several things off the menu. At no point did our server seem even remotely interested in what he was doing. We did ask for recommendations, and he gave us a great recommendation for a raw plate. I think if we had gone with all raw items we probably would have been super impressed on the food front, as the one raw dish we had was absolutely amazing. It had good flavor, amazing texture and looked stunning. We ordered the small bowl of rice and egg yolk. It was good, but some of the rice was a bit hard and not fresh tasting. The egg was beautiful. We did a few skewers; pork belly and ribeye and both were bland and horribly overcooked. We didn't finish either one. We also did Wagyu gyoza and chicken karaage, and both needed salt badly. Again, neither seemed super fresh - the gyoza was pan fried and had great markings and color on it, but no crisp when you bit into it. The karaage didn't have a ton of flavor and was very chewy. It was a lot of work for each bite. I'm hopeful it was just not a stellar night, but not sure if I'd come back to try it again.

My husband and I were able to go on a much-needed date, and we have never been to juju. We have gone their sister Restaurant Susuru and enjoyed that very much. The decor is pretty much the same. Very cool, retro Japanese pop art. The fact that it's an old Pizza Hut is very cool as well. Our server was very friendly and we ordered a bunch of stuff. We got chicken thighs and chicken hearts and chicken skins, chicken meatballs. That was all yakitori. We also got a Chashu gohan bowl, chirashi in masu bowl, chicken karaage, and hamachi crudo. It was a lot of food, but we tore it up. Everything we ate was delicious. The chicken thighs were super yummy and juicy and the chicken skin was surprisingly amazing too. Everything we ate was fresh, well, seasoned and so tasty. I also got an Juju old-fashioned and my husband got a Stoned in Manhattan. My old fashion was ok, and I really didn't like my husband's drink at all. The vibe and there is really laid back and casual. We had a wonderful date.

I was really disappointed by this place. The ambience is really incredible but the fish was some of the worst I've had in Orlando. The service is great and it's super cute but I don't think I'd eat here again. Definitely possible that I came in on a bad fish night but I don't think I'd go for it again. Coolest decor of any bar in Orlando in my opinion, though, and the drinks are really pretty.

Casual elegance and Japanese vibes are something to embrace! Delicious food amazing flavor and fusion unlike anything in FL! Must have cocktails beyond the ordinary range. Definitely recommends to my visiting family toFLBonus:just 1 mi away from house

Went to Juju tonight and came back to Yelp for an update. I was by myself so I sat at the bar, which seats like 8ish people. Service was fantastic and I wasn't pressured to hurry and make a decision, or hurry to clear the seat, etc. I don't know if adding pictures on this update will remove old pics, but if that happens, I hope it's only the menu because it's got some new items since the last time I was there, and if grilled striped bass was on the menu before, I'm sorry i missed it. It was a full house but quiet enough that you didn't have to lean in to hear your server. I really enjoy this place. :)

Went there for a date night. We didn't have reservation for Friday night, but we were seated right away at the bar. Cute little place that gives you cool Japanese vibes. Tried a couple of things based on top items listed in Yelp. Chirashi in masu box is really good! The rice susuru gohan was not really cook well. Maybe it was just an off night. The rest of the items we tried were good, but not really something that we have to get again. I'll go back and bring visitors because of the cool decor...and the drinks! Great unique drinks

Finally gave Juju a visit, a big fan of Susuru so I knew what was coming. I love how everything was decorated in the restaurant, very unique with the Japanese retro theme. I will never get tired of the Mentaiko Fries and I always make sure to ask for extra sauce on the side. As for my entree, I ordered the Mentaiko Udon which comes with spicy cod roe, uni, sake, butter and marinated egg yolk. It was very creamy with the sauce and fits so well with the udon. We ordered some skewers and one of them was over cooked and a bit burnt. Our waiter gave us another one and didn't charge us. Andy was our waiter and he is an amazing person. It was celebrating my 21st and he gave me a matcha cocktail which isn't on the menu yet as well as taro soft serve with a lighted candle. The cocktail was sweet and for someone that doesn't like the taste of alcohol, it was perfect. It even comes with rock candy. As for the taro serve soft, it tasted smooth and great to finish off our meal. The surprise was the sweetest thing and made my experience 10x better as they acknowledge it was a special day. Overall, the service, ambiance and food was phenomenal. It's a place with small plates which makes it great to share and try different things. Would definitely come back!

What a great experience. This place has a great atmosphere and decor that definitely inspired to do great things ;) The food was honestly delicious. King oyster mushroom was meaty and juicy. Very good, your $3 is worth it, trust. Beef tenderloin was quality but wish it'd be more juicy. Well, tenderloin isn't the fattest piece of steak so makes sense. Not sure if I'd order it again just because I like my steak fatty Ribeye, on the other hand, was pretty good. Fatty and juicy. Chicken yakitori made a really good impression. Juicy, tender, and flavorful. I recommend squeezing some lemon juice on top. Mentaiko noodles had a very interesting creamy cod sauce. Udon was FIRE. Tasted fresh and thick, good slippery texture. The egg yolk and nori definitely made it taste full. Susuru gohan bowl was soooo good! It's just steamed rice with raw egg yolk, some sweet soy, and Japanese seasoning. Simple, cheap and tasted great. All the flavors combined so well together! The grilled octopus salad is quality ‍ octopus was soft and fresh. The dressing tasted citrusy. Topped with radish, some greens (I remember tasting arugula but not too sure), and pickled onions. There was something slightly spicy, could've been the greens or the dressing but I liked having a bit of a kick in this dish. I really recommend checking this place out. Good quality food, great flavor combinations, decent service. Love the design and the atmosphere as well! Keep it up juju :)

This establishment get 10s across the board. The food was amazing the wyagu gyozas and beef tenderloin were cooked to perfection, the perfect blend or fat, salt and was so savory. The old fashioned was nice i drink old fashioneds all of the city and this was a solid competitor. The STUFFED WINGS, were delicious i ended up ordering 3 more servings. Clean, great service in general nice place for a small group outing, (there was 6 of us the first time I went) The music was amazing right before i left they were playing the Japanese version of the intro track to Yu Yu Hakusho and i was jamming out! I highly recommend!

Juju was an absolute delight. Once I was okonomiyaki as a dish served, I knew all the other dishes would match the ame level of deliciousness. Although the seating is limited, we were sat quickly. Our server was extremely knowledgeable with everything on the menu. Everything is served in smaller bowls but just the onkonomiyaki can feel you up. We also had the susurró gohan bowl which was a decent size and multiple yakitori (skewer) options. Everything that came out was amazing. They have a full bar and the drinks were top notch as well. Although it gives a more casual environment inside with the creative and unique toy museum like displays at the front, they do have a 6-seat limited Kappo Bar that looks incredible.

After going to Susuru I told myself that I HAVE to try out Juju! After my dining experience here I 100% get why Juju is a Michelin Guide restaurant. The ambiance is similar to the izakaya styling of Susuru but the set up is a bit more modern. You can either dine in the standard izakaya dining room OR make reservations to the Kappo Bar. I didn't get to try the Kappo Bar this time but I absolutely would like to try it as a special occasion treat one of these days! For the drinks I tried the Ultraman (for the gin lovers) & That Old Pizza Hut (honey/nutmeg flavor) which were both so delicious! As for the food, which I can't stress enough was 10/10 AMAZING: Persimmon Scallops (raw but don't let that discourage you, it's like eating the sea if it was packed with all the right flavors), Beef Tenderloin Kushiyaki, Susuru Gohan (not pictured), Mentaiko Fries (the mayo is ), Wagyu Gyoza, and Tsukune were all well balanced and a delight to enjoy! Everything about this place from decor to their menu is so well thought out. As I've said before the whole group from Susuru/Juju should be so extremely proud of the amazing food and experiences that they provide for us in Orlando! I'm so happy to have been able to try both places and I plan on being a frequent flyer whenever possible!

Have you ever eaten food so delicious that you couldn't stop, even when you were on the verge of a crippling stomach ache and positive you would regret it all the next day? Yea, that sums up my first experience here. I am SO happy that I finally made my way to Juju. This Japanese tapas style eatery truly exceeded my expectations; the flavors are harmonious. The decor transported me to what I imagine a casual Japanese food establishment would look like. Our waitress was attentive and had solid drink recommendations, including a mocktail which would leave anyone partaking in "dry January" satisfied. Be mindful however, Juju is still pretty new so you're likely to experience a bit of a wait but it's absolutely worth it. The prices are reasonable. Oh, and the women's restroom has Hello Kitty toilet paper :) Do yourself a favor and go try the food for yourself. Highly recommend!

Everything was delicious except I was pretty disappointed in the sushi box. The quality of the fish was not great at all. Other than that everything was super super good. Little slow on the water but service was good otherwise !

I love the vibe of this place. Me and my husband got a chance to check out this spot and it gives you that Japan vibe even before entering the restaurant. I really wanna try Susuru but when we go its always pack so I'm glad this place gives us the chance to finally try their food. they did an amazing job with the interior decoration and staff are very welcoming. We went there on a friday night around 10pm, so we only have an hour before they close but they still accommodate us and give us time to decide what we want to order without feeling rushed. for drinks we got 2 cocktail drinks. Murasaki no ame- this is my drinks. It looks pretty but its strong. if you like strong looking girly drink then this is your drink! Its sweet with gin so you'll surely feel the kick. Juju old fashioned- bourbon, apple and sugar. Mg husband enjoyed it and its pretty strong too. for food, I got random yakitori. I got one of each momo, hatsu, beef tenderloin, hatsu, negima, pork belly wrapped lettuce, pork belly wrapped shishito. Meat is well marinated, good texture and taste delicious! My husband ordered the chirashi in masu box, its assorted sashimi with rice. It taste good as well but next time will skip this and just order more yakitori and tried other food in the menu. Overall, we had a great experienced. Good food, good service and nice people!

Stepping into JUJU, I was immediately impressed by the lightning-fast service. The staff seemed to have mastered the art of efficiency. The ambiance of the restaurant had a vibrant and bustling feel, reminiscent of the lively street food stalls in Japan. It created a lively and enjoyable dining experience, further complemented by the quick and attentive service. However, I must admit that the fries were a bit of a letdown. Having tried their sister restaurant (SUSURU) addicting fries before, my expectations were high, but unfortunately, the ones we had here fell short. They were disappointingly dry and lacked the flavorful punch that I had been hoping for. Our group used to get 3 bowls of fries and would fight for the last one, and unfortunately we didnt even finished half of the first order of fries. They were overcooked and way too crunchy and got served cold. Fortunately, the Pork Chasu Gohan more than made up for the fries' shortcomings. The dish was a delightful blend of tender pork chasu and perfectly cooked rice, coated in a delectable sweet soy sauce. The combination of savory and sweet notes was absolutely mouthwatering, and each bite left me craving more. While the fries may have left something to be desired, the star of the show, the Pork Chasu Gohan, stole my heart with its rich and satisfying flavors. If you're looking for a fast-paced meal with some delicious Japanese street food flair, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Just skip the fries and dive into the delightful world of their signature dishes. There was also no wait for JUJU compared to Susuru always had a 2.5 hour wait.
