Jujube

We had our first visit to Jujube a few weeks ago. How could we have been missing out on this gem? The staff and management was very friendly and inviting. The atmosphere was cozy, but not too crowded. And the food was awesome! It was so good that we were back a week later just to have the beef bulgogi again.

Wow! What a great dining experience! The menu had a lot to choose from, and our server, Davis, was super helpful with food/drink descriptions and recommendations. We loved the beef bulgogi and the crab/shrimp cakes, but the pork belly BBQ dumplings were the real standout (best I’ve ever had). We tried both sake flights and would definitely recommend them if you’re looking to sample a nice variety. The place doesn’t look like much from the outside, but inside it’s cozy with plenty of seating options. Great food, friendly service. We’ll definitely be back!

I attended the Summer Harvest wine dinner last night and it was incredible! Each dish was thoughtfully curated with an amazing wine pairing to match. It was a wonderful experience for a summer night. The dinner began with peach tree oysters with a cucumber mignonette. The next course was goat cheese and peach dumplings followed up with a cucumber soup as a palate cleanser. The main entree was phenomenal and hands down, the absolutely BEST Wagyu short rib I have ever had in my life. It was well marbleized and melt in your mouth tender. I am still dreaming about it! The sweet potato purée with the black tiger shrimp was heavenly! Lastly, the peach sponge cake was the perfect ending to an exceptional culinary experience. It was a delightful pleasure to enjoy the foods of Chef Nadia! The owner, Suzie, also welcomed each guest with a beautiful smile and open arms. Thank you, Chef Nadia for a great night!

Today, I had the pleasure of attending Jujube's exquisite 5 Course Dinner, a celebration of summer's freshest ingredients. The menu, expertly crafted by Jujube's Head Chef Nadia, was accompanied by perfectly paired wines, vermouths, and sake that elevated the dining experience to new heights. Chef Nadia's talent for pairing food and wine was truly impressive, and each dish left a lasting impression on my palate. The attention to detail and care that went into creating each course was evident, and I found myself transported to different parts of the world with every bite. Despite being her debut as Head Chef, Chef Nadia showcased a level of skill and creativity that rivaled many Michelin-starred restaurants. Her commitment to providing the ultimate food experience was apparent in every aspect of the meal. The seamless harmony between the food and wine, coupled with impeccable service, made for a dining experience that exceeded all expectations. Each dish left me craving more, and I could feel the passion and dedication that went into preparing every bite. In all my culinary adventures since moving to the Triangle from Washington DC, this has been the standout experience. Chef Nadia's talent and the overall excellence of the meal have set a new standard for fine dining in the area. I have no doubt that Chef Nadia will soon be recognized among the culinary greats, and I feel fortunate to have experienced her talent firsthand.

Had a wonderful time here. I'm not sure what was more exceptional, the food or the service. Both were great and very accommodating. The dumplings, fried cauliflower and short rib wontons were all delicious. High recommend

This place ticked all the marks for an awesome night. The food is top notch, with authentic flavors and unique themes. The wontons, rolls and drunken noodles were absolutely epic as were their flavorful and alcohol friendly cocktails. Service was spot on and never missed a beat. Probably what impressed me the most was the outstanding wine selection. What an epic meal experience in Chapel Hill

Great restaurant tucked away in a small strip mall off the beaten path. Has both indoor and outdoor dining. The restaurant is small so making a reservation is a good idea. The cocktail menu had interesting Asian influenced variations of classic drinks as well as some signature drinks. The drinks had great presentation and flavor wise did not disappoint. It was odd however that the same drink when order multiple times or by different people was served in different glassware. There were a number of appetizers ( small plates) to choose from. We had the crispy cauliflower, the Vietnamese salad rolls, and the chicken and shiitake dumplings. The Vietnamese salad rolls were ok… the best part was the peanut sauce that came with them. The cauliflower was very good and reminded me of General Taos chicken. All the small plates had enough for the four of us to try and share. I’d recommend doing this so everyone in your group can try a little bit of everything. The large plates are entree size. I had the lemongrass hanger steak and while it was good, the other dishes that were ordered were better in terms of uniqueness and Asian influenced in flavor. The Jujube bolognese and the Beef Bulgogi were outstanding. Highly recommend. Both are noodle dishes. The Thai larb was also very good. Lighter, and refreshing. Reminded me of a large lettuce wrap with chopped chicken. The service was good. The waitress was knowledgeable and friendly. The chef/owner brought the food to our table.

As you step into the establishment you are instantly greeted and enveloped by the aromas wafting from the open kitchen! It gets your appetite juices flowing. The Bok Choi and mushrooms appetizer was fantastic to say the least! I have heard of secret sauce but first time I saw and tasted “ secret sauce”. The chef truly was a magician! The drunken noodles with shrimp was very tasty and portions are generous. Service was very friendly and our waitress/hostess was very helpful in choosing our dishes and was attentive till the end. The ambience is perfect for a romantic dinner or get together with friends. The place was packed and we were glad to make online reservations ahead of time.

Loved it! Everything was delicious and the ambiance is nice and cozy. I really loved the cocktail I got but I can't remember the name! Anyhow everything was great, including the service.

I've been here a few times. Came for my husband's birthday. Noted it in the reservation also with a message to the restaurant. Also mentioned it to the host upon seating. Was ensured it wouldn't be overlooked. It was overlooked The food was fine but a little too heavy. The service was mediocre. It was noisy but a busy night.

this place was fantastic! almost a hidden gem. owner was crazy nice. has some incredible food. i would go back just for the short rib wontons. no complaints here

Good cocktails, nice ambience, small plates and large. It's a good place to celebrate or just a romantic dinner for 2. Service is good and helpful when you can't choose between one delicious plate or another. The food is creative, looking attractive and tasting great.

Great food. Yummy cocktails. Wonderful service while sitting at the bar. Reservations are a must!

Butternut squash soup is sooo delicious. I wait until winter to go here ...just for the soup and the specials! Great service. Wonderful food. We love this place

I didn't get pictures of the ribs or the pork buns because we were starving. However everything was delicious. The cocktails were amazing. Service was also very welcoming and attentive. Our server explained everything think well made delicious recommendations. I tell everyone it's worth the trip to Durham to try. I will be back.

I got a chance to try out Jujube in Chapel Hill. Jujube is a sister restaurant of Juju in Durham and serves up all mouth watering Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine. Here is what we got: BBQ Pork Belly Dumplings: These were my favorite. The pork belly was full of flavor. Beef Short Rib & Goat Cheese Wontons : The wontons were nice and crispy. The goat cheese definitely complemented the beef short rib. Brussel Sprouts: You can't go wrong with Brussel Sprouts :) Thai Larb Salad: This was my first time trying Larb. The taste is definitely different and unique. I liked it. Whole Red Snapper: I'm a sucker for whole fish and always order it whenever I see it on a menu. Wasabi Margarita: This was definitely a unique cocktail. You could taste the wasabi along with the tequila. I would order it again. If you enjoy asian flavor then you should definitely check out Jujube

I got a chance to go to Jujube recently for a friend's birthday. We ordered probably way too many appetizers and cocktails (very easy to do). They had lots of options for my husband, who is vegan, so that made ordering super easy. I got the Jujube bolognese, which was delicious, and he ordered the Kung Pao tofu. My only complaint is that I wish they had a few more entrees to choose from on the menu, but everything was really delicious and the staff was able to keep up with our large group constantly ordering more drinks at the table. The ambience is very relaxed and even though the space itself isn't huge, they had no trouble accommodating our group with a reservation. It is a little pricey, (especially when you order every appetizer on the menu) but the food was great so I would definitely come here again.

Very last minute decision to go to Jujube after a long day at the office, and we live on the other side of town. Better to enjoy some delicious bites and a cocktail than sit in traffic on 40! While I feel it's slightly difficult approach this location, everything after that was amazing. Early dinner on a Monday, got right in on the simple yet lovely outdoor patio. Host was kind, service was great. We started with the short rib goat cheese wontons and they were just right. Salty, sweet, creamy, slight spice to the sauce. Five total in an order. Very generous for a starter. I went all in and got the lemongrass hanger steak. My husband got the beef bulgogi. Both were so yummy! The hanger steak was simple. Perfectly cooked, sea salt, lemon grass (naturally) with a side of peanut sauce and the most amazing cucumber salad I've ever had. As a lover of peanut sauce, I still could've done without it. The steak was great alone. The beer bulgogi was smokey, delicious. We finished with the chocolate mousse with cookie crumbles. It was good, but I honestly enjoyed the main dishes much more. More and more, service is key for me. They were celebrating their 18th anniversary (I think) at jujube this day and I can see why. Just a great, genuine overall delicious experience. I can't wait to return and wait out traffic. I'd also go out of my way to eat there again.

As expected for an Asian fusion restaurant, food was kind of strange and disappointing. The BBQ pork belly dumplings were okay, but overpriced at $10 for just 4 dumplings. There wasn't much of a BBQ flavor and the meat is a little dry. The calamari was a bit oily and made me nauseous after eating too much. I liked trying the trio of dipping sauces. Both the beef bulgogi and duck fried rice were big letdowns. The duck meat came in large dry chunks and the rice was smothered in sriracha mayo, which didn't pair well with duck as they're both fatty flavors. It needed something brighter to balance out. The bulgogi noodles didn't taste like bulgogi, just drenched in sauce. I will say the portions were quite large, almost enough for 2 meals. But I wouldn't recommend this place to a friend. P.S. good luck with parking.

Wonderful appetizers, but entrees are a little disappointing. Reasonable portion for a nicer asian restaurant. Good ambience and very friendly & attentive service. Would come back to try different things, especially because of the lovely staff!

I thought it was good but not great. My daughter and I started by sharing three small plates. Small is not completely accurate, all of them were quite robust and we ended up with a lot of food. The best of the three was the wontons with short rib and cheese. Five large wontons, fried well and the meat was tasty. The kale salad was mixed. I personally liked the candied pistachios (they tasted like pistachio ice cream), others at our table not as much. It was a little greasy for a salad and also almost as if they couldn't decide between traditional kale and crispy kale, kind of the worst of both worlds. I liked the cauliflower starter but it was quite sweet. For a main, I had the hangar steak with cucumber salad. Again, a nice sized portion and the steak was cooked exactly like I asked (medium rare), though I found the peanut sauce a little tasteless. Overall a good meal with caveats.

Dinner at Jujube was an amazing experience. We planned to just sit at the bar for drinks and small plates, but the vibes at the bar were great so We decided to stay out. The food was absolutely delicious - I honestly think they could've brought out anything from their menu and I would've loved it. I highly recommend ordering the BBQ pork belly dumplings and beef short rib & goat cheese wontons for small plates with your cocktails (or mock tails). The beef bulgogi and Jujube bolognese were both absolutely divine - We shared them because why have one when you can have both!

Fantastic experience; I'm surprised it took us this long to come here. It's a cozy restaurant, very comfortable atmosphere. We made a reservation, but the walk-ins who came in before us was seated promptly. Service was relaxed, but professional. Never felt hurried, and yet never ignored. This is as close to perfect as I've experienced in the Triangle. We spaced out our order, but once ordered the food and drinks were always promptly served. The food ranged from very good to excellent. Favorites were the short-rib wontons and the beef bulgogi--I'd make the drive from Cary again for either one of these. We had a vegetarian with us, and she really enjoyed the Gado Gado. The wine list was better than I expected, and their cocktails were interesting. If I had to come up with one complaint, it's that their parking is limited. But overall, Jujube exceeded my expectations.

Come on y'all! The current star rating is dead wrong. 5 star! Food was delicious, staff was fantastic and engaging, and just a great experience. I'm traveling for work this week, and though I haven't posted in a while, the experience was worth taking the time to 5 star and say thanks for taking in a "weary traveler" with such great hospitality. Cheers from the ATL to CH!

Great menu, great service, great food. We were meeting a friend in Chapel Hill and she suggested Jujube and it was our first time there. We're really glad she suggested it, and can't figure out why we haven't been there before. The place would be be described as upscale Asian Fusion without being stuffy. The decor is mostly black, including the table cloths. The menu is a great mix of old favorites and some dishes we'd never heard of (a plus in our book). The menu is very veggie friendly, with a few veggie and vegan entrees. They'll also switch out meat for tofu on most dishes. All three dishes were fresh, well prepared, and seasoned just right. The beer list is small but adequate, while the wine list is comprehensive. The cocktails are good and of generous-enough portions. The food portion sizes are big enough that we all took home a little something for lunch the next day. We'll definitely be back.

Atmosphere: During COVID lockdowns, we got take-out from Jujube for a Valentine's Day dinner. As a result, we were unable to experience the restaurant's atmosphere. Service: We ordered ahead online, and our food was ready by the time we arrived at the restaurant. Food: We ordered the Steamed BBQ Pork Belly Dumplings, Beef Short Rib & Goat Cheese Wontons, Vietnamese Salad Rolls, Pan-Fried Crab and Shrimp Cakes, Beef Bulgogi, Bolognese, Spicy Oyster Mushroom Curry Soup, and the Jujube Red Sangria. Our favorite dish was the Bolognese, which was delicious and tasted fresh even after being in a to-go container. We also enjoyed the pork belly dumplings and beef short rib and goat cheese wontons, as the fillings were well-balanced. The Bulgogi was on the salty side, but we enjoyed it nonetheless. The Jujube Red Sangria wasn't too sweet and went well with our dinner. Overall: We had a positive experience with ordering take-out from Jujube and would like to try it in person. The food is a little expensive here, but we appreciated the variety and look forward to coming back!

Jujube is kind of a tough restaurant for me to rate. My wife and I enjoyed our experience here. However, all things considered - food, service, ambiance, price point, location, etc. - Jujube is Yelp three stars ("OK") in my book. For Chapel Hill, I think Jujube is a good/fine restaurant and is worth a visit if you're in the area. When it comes to the Triangle though, I'm not sure it's a restaurant I'd go out of my way for. I think my wife liked this place more than me. We've both been to sister restaurant Juju in Durham and liked Juju better, especially me: https://bit.ly/3Cf31CO. Jujube has stood the test of time, having opened in this location in 2005 and persevering through both the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic. During our Friday night visit, this place was almost at full capacity and the staff was running at 100% utilization most of the night. This place appears to be popular and there's demand for this kind of food - modern Asian fusion - in Chapel Hill. I booked our reservations using OpenTable. Book your restaurant reservations with OpenTable and earn free points which can be redeemed for various rewards such as hotel and restaurant discounts. I've used my OpenTable points to get Amazon gift cards. The restaurant is nicely decorated. It's got a bit of an upscale feel to it. At night, the spaces were dimly lit. There's a covered and enclosed patio with ceiling fans for warm weather and heat lamps for cold weather. The patio has a small fire pit too. This is a good restaurant to take a date. We were seated in a back section of the dining room along a banquette which I dubbed "couples row." The tables happened to be separated into a bunch of two-tops, so it was one couple after another. It's not uncommon to see an "assembly line" of couples like this at sit-down restaurants, especially on Valentine's Day. Jujube's food menu was fairly streamlined, featuring dumplings ($8 per order), small plates ($8-13 each), "for the table" shareable plates (a bit bigger, $12-15 each), and large plates (entrees, $19-28 each). The drink menu was extensive; full bar with wine, sake, and liquor. Here's what we got: - Craft Cocktails - * Whiskey Sour ($12) - bourbon, cold-press citrus syrup, egg white, Herbes de Provence bitters * Bee Sting ($12) - Suntory ROKU Gin, lemon, honey, lavender * The Dreamer ($12) - Tenjaku whisky, Sombra Mezcal, Jujube's pineapple cordial, Dolin dry vermouth, soda water - Dumplings, Small Plates, For the Table- * Mushroom & Cabbage Dumplings ($8) * 5-Spice Duck Confit Spring Rolls ($12) - spicy mustard, cucumber * Crispy Chicken ($14) - garlic, pepper, ginger, shallot, orange glaze -Large Plates- * Lemongrass-Grilled Hanger Steak ($28) - cucumber salad, peanut sauce, cilantro * Pan-Seared Filet of Salmon ($28) - green curry, sweet potato, spinach, scallion -Desserts- * Chocolate Mousse ($11) - dark & milk chocolate, chocolate crumble * Peanut Butter Pot de Creme ($11) - chocolate, sour cream In general, we enjoyed all the food and drink. Our favorite dishes - and what I recommend - were/are the Mushroom & Cabbage Dumplings, 5-Spice Duck Confit Spring Rolls, Lemongrass-Grilled Hanger Steak, Pan-Seared Filet of Salmon, Chocolate Mousse, and Peanut Butter Pot de Creme. The one dish we weren't huge fans of was the Crispy Chicken. It looked great, but it tasted like a slightly-modified version of any run-of-the-mill Chinese takeout joint's orange chicken, just fancied-up for a finer-dining restaurant. We actually ordered this one because the pictures of it looked good on Yelp. We liked the Mushroom & Cabbage Dumplings. Jujube's dumplings are served four to an order. The dumplings were shaped like large wontons and they were steamed. We were impressed with the dumpling skin texture. It was very appetizing, and the dumplings overall were just delicious. The 5-Spice Duck Confit Spring Rolls were yummy as well. They were crispy and savory; very flavorful. The chef suggested the Lemongrass-Grilled Hanger Steak cooked medium rare and that's how I prefer my steaks. The steak came out medium, but it was fine. I thought the quality of the meat was good and the peanut sauce pairing was... unique. My wife loved the Pan-Seared Filet of Salmon. Consistency-wise, she thought it was cooked perfectly. I'd say the texture was about an eight out of 10. Good, but not great, which is my general opinion about the food here. The desserts were good. I think we both preferred the Chocolate Mousse over the Peanut Butter Pot de Creme, but both were satisfying. Smooth, sweet, creamy, wispy, and decent quality, but also relatively simple. As for the cocktails, I thought the Whiskey Sour and The Dreamer were good and refreshing, especially the latter. I didn't like the Bee Sting, which tasted like artificial, overly sweet, lemon candy to me. My wife liked it enough to finish it. Service by Eric A was excellent. Eric was outstanding; very nice. Despite a busy night, all of our orders came out fast.

Cute little space. Cozy restaurant. Would be good for date night. I've come here several times for various occasions. The service is always great and food is consistently good. I've never felt rushed there. They're good about food allergies which is great. My wife has celiac and has always done well eating there. I've never had anything bad but the brussel sprouts and the tofu dishes are both great.

Our "go to" for good food and excellent service. Went tonight and, as usual, they were spot on. Highly recommend their summer salad. It was delicious.

Great options for vegetarians. We loved the gado gado and the rice noodle dish, excellent service too!! Highly recommend

Staff very nice and friendly, but atmosphere nonexistent and food was some of the worst I've had ever. Woke up feeling like a truck hit me the next day and a friend told me they use MSG which is why she avoids the restaurant, I wish I had known. I thought MSG was supposed to enhance the flavor of the food, but I guess it doesn't work with bad quality ingredients. I'll never go back.

Really nice ambiance, and amazing service. Our server, Chris, was super attentive, answered every question, and made sure there were no delays! The kitchen also worked very fast, and it seemed like there was never any downtime. The food was good, we shared three plates between two people. At the price point however, I think the food pay have been a little too expensive. I highly reccomend the octopus tart one and the crispy cauliflower. Cocktails were good too, but we felt like they lacked a real defining flavor. Overall good, would come back for the ambiance and the service!

The service here is excellent and friendly.. There are several chefs in the kitchen...only one is good for the salmon - any other overcooks it horribly. For Asian dishes, I think it's good. And the ambiance is warm and comfortable.

First time we had been back to Jujube since the pandemic, and glad we finally made it back. The weather was pleasant, so we ate on the patio (still covered and heated - though not the night we were there as it was unnecessary). We were 5 on this night, and shared everything. The crispy cauliflower (excellent), drunken noodles and her hangar steak (both good), Brussels sprouts, dumplings, and the octopus tarting (a bit of a miss - small without much octopus). Excellent attentive service. Highly recommended.

Just an awful experience. Send back chicken larb tasteless but removed from check. Duck fried rice: I've never been served greasy fried rice with some kind of faux mayonnaise dressing with large nuggets of overcooked bone dry duck pieces. Totally inedible. Ambience ok. Wait staff adequate. Not recommended

i really used to love Jujube. A genuine treat. Not anymore...Prices have gone up astronomically ($12 for dessert? WTF?). Our wait person had to be beckoned more than once to take care of us and our hostess also had to be beckoned to seat us. Like so many others, the charm has faded and it's become yet another overpriced place..I'm not spending $24 on lunch there again. So sad

A family dinner for 3 of us and we really enjoyed the experience. Ambiance is nice, calm and easy to converse. The service was very attentive but not fussy. We shared all our dishes and found the food delicious. Particularly enjoyed the crispy chicken and the "bolognese".

The menu is small and presented as pan-Asian, although I would call it Asian-inspired at best. Most of the dishes are pretty basic, with some Asian "flare". For example a hanger steak served with a cold peanut sauce. The sauces in general are out of place with the main dish. The sweet potato fritters were very sweet already, and came with...a sweet brown sauce. I ended up eating the sweet potatoes with a mustard sauce that came with a different appetizer. I also tried the mint yuzu non alcoholic mojito. It tasted like a lime seltzer, with a "dash" of yuzu and mint. Yuzu and mint are both strong flavors, but both were absent in the "mint yuzu" drink. At $8, it was disappointing I don't fully understand what the restaurant is trying to achieve with their menu? It's been pretty full the 2 times I've gone, so clearly some people like it. I would advise looking at the menu before going, because it's a small menu.

This spot was so good! My family and I went for a day in Durham and we had dinner here, but we did takeout so we could continue to stay outside. The first bite my wife and I took, we both looked at each other like we fell in love all over again. This food hit the spot! We ordered several items and everything was delicious! Let's not forget the friendly customer service as well! The restaurant is nicely decorated and the art on the walls are a great addition! Please put this spot on your list!

Cute restaurant with adorable outdoor seating!! The service was great here and everyone was so friendly. Definitely more on the Asian fusion side- my family and I are Chinese, and the food was a little too Americanized for us. The bbq pork belly buns were very salty on the inside and the outer dough wrapping was very stiff and didn't seem fresh. It definitely seemed like it was frozen before being served to us. The crispy chicken was just okay, the jujube bolognese was good, but the bulgogi was definitely the best. The bolognese flavor was delicious and there was plenty of beef that was cooked perfectly. Overall, food was either overly salty or overly sweet, and the Asian food we are used to is much more subtly flavored.

1 star for the waiter who, excuse the language, gave zero fucks about my food allergy. I got contaminated with my first dish, despite telling the waiter how important it was for me to not eat peppers or tomatoes. Ruined my experience and almost ruined my trip. Food was hit or miss (so 2 stars for food). Pork dumplings were OK. Duck confit egg rolls were really good. Jujube bolognese was meh. Ambience was nice. Waitstaff needs to be trained to take food allergies seriously. I won't be back due to the waiter's indifference and total lack of attention.

Very nice experience at this restaurant last night. Hearty welcome at the door as a walk-in. Delicious dinner (lemongrass hanger steak and seared rice noodles) , wonderful signature cocktails, and cool ambiance. But the star of the show was our waiter William B. delightfully explaining the dishes and just his overall, beyond-his-years stellar service. Highly recommend.

Cozy and chill vibes. The cocktails were great! We ordered the chicken dumplings, Beef Short Rib & Goat Cheese Wontons, fried rice, and Shiitake & Cabbage dumplings. Everything had great flavor! If sake is your thing they have a ton of yummy options

Food was excellent. Service was great. Very hospitable. Would highly recommend to anyone....oh yeah, and great ambience!

Had dinner here on a work trip. The staff is welcoming and fun, the menu is interesting and the food is decent, but my 4 stars are mostly for the amazing cocktails and drink service. I got an excellent sake recommendation and two very different cocktails, both of which were among the best-executed drinks I've had in the triangle. Chris the bartender is top notch!

Really wanted to love this place, but just couldn't. This restaurant is located in a strip mall, but behind Bin 54 Steak House. I drove past it twice before finding it. This place is totally dwarfed by Bin 54 because of the angles of this strip mall. So if it's your first time, just park when you see the giant Bin 54 in that side of the parking lot. The menu was more limited than listed online, so I was disappointed by that. This was April 2021, not April 2020 the height of the pandemic so we expected more during this time. We both ordered the crispy chicken appetizer, and mine was much spicier than hers. We were surprised there was such a difference in taste for the same dish cooked at the same time! They sat us in the rectangle room in the way way back of the restaurant. It was the two of us in there and this super loud 4 person ladies group that were shouting over each other about sex and other inappropriate dinner conservation. Because we were sitting at the start of the long bench in this room, we had the loud ladies on one side of us and then I could see the people sitting in their main dining room that had a direct eye line to my meal. So it was like a bad feng shui arrangement were I didn't feel relaxed. So between the hidden restaurant location, limited menu, taste difference for the same dish, and bad table location it just couldn't score any points with us. :/

Unfortunately, this place is not what it used to be. We keep coming back for nostalgic reasons but we probably won't anymore. It used to be such a hidden gem and the dishes were adventurous and creative. Their sauces are way too sweet now. It's hard to make up for being tucked away in a crummy strip mall. It was worth going because it's beautiful inside and they have a nice patio. But, the food quality doesn't justify the prices anymore.

LOVE! Nice ambiance that is classy but relaxing and fun. The food is EXCELLENT and the cocktails are divine. Try the curry mushroom soup, Brussels sprouts, hanger steak, and the bee sting drink got the best meal ever. Service is great, we always enjoy speaking with the bartender there.

Jujube is one of our long time favorites in Chapel Hill. The consistency and quality of dishes infused with Asian flavors and ingredients keeps us coming back. Favorites include fried calamari served with three delicious sauces, beef short rib and goat cheese wontons, and hanger steak with peanut sauce and cucumber salad. Excellently prepared cocktails with knowledgeable and friendly staff. Susie, the indefatigable owner, is always trying something new to keep the menu fresh.

Food is amazing and so are the servers. The higher up staff however is rude to their employees. They were shouting at employees in front of a restaurant full of guests. Bad ambiance and energy because of that.

The food was so good and the drinks were amazing! The staff was so kind too! Great place for a date night!

Amazing, flavorful & fresh food. 10/10 service! Highly recommend this place. Was thrilled to find so many delicious Gluten Free options!

Jujube has long been a favorite of ours thanks to their outstanding food, unique cocktails, excellent service, and comfortable atmosphere. We visited this weekend and were blown away with a few of their specials and new menu options. Our favorite pork belly was served on a bao bun as an appetizer special, and rivaled their classic pork belly soup dumplings. For entrees, we had the tried-and-true beef bulgogi and Chef Nadia's new duck confit fried rice. The flavor profile of these entrees is indescribable and superb. A huge thanks to Shannon and Rosie for taking great care of us, as always! We are so excited for their new lunch hours on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Give them a visit - you won't regret it!

I love going to Jujube!! Everything I've tried is amazing! Perfect for date night or special occasion.

The menu had many options and great drink options. Highly recommend the dumplings and crispy chicken. The kimchi was okay and lemongrass hanger steak did not taste like lemongrass

My Chinese husband says this is not a Chinese restaurant. Second and last visit in 5 years. I had a porter beer with cardamom? WTF? We had dumplings that were chewy. His dish seemed good filled his plate. But he said flavors were not balanced. I had the tiniest piece of salmon in a coconut curry. I was embarrassed for the restaurant. We were going to a show and didn't have time to ask for replacements. I had a future reservation for Bin 54 next door, same owner. My partner convinced me to cancel. Going to Bluebird instead.

I dined here on a weekday (Thursday) to meet a work colleague by suggestion. This location is in non descriptive strip mall but once you're inside it's a different world. A relaxing environment and pleasant staff awaits. The co owner Raul makes it his business to greet everyone during our visit which is refreshing in this day and age. I travel a lot for work and bring clients to restaurants and I for one am happy to be back on the grind. First up we decided on soup and it was sifted and creamed giving it a supple feeling on your tongue. The richness isn't for the faint hearted or calorie conscience; we are here to have fun and boy did we enjoy. I didn't get a chance to try the wontons since I was recovering from dental surgery but from the smell and looks plus the fact that my colleague devoured it rings comeback when fully healed to me. We broke a cardinal rule when I eat out which is no one is allowed to order the same item, I couldn't convince my eating mate so we both got the crispy salmon (cooked to your liking) . This dish was cool perfectly and came out hot! Which I loved. With a hint of spice and soft sweet potatoes I can't say that I've had a combination like this before. I don't frequent Chapel Hill since most of my clients are in RTP but this is worthy of a special trip and I'll certainly be back. Highly recommend!
