Jujube

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 overlookedThe food was fine but a little too heavy. The service was mediocre. It was noisy but a busy night.

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!

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!

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.

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.
