This was our first time at Juju and it did not disappoint! The dumplings and shrimp were terrific as well as the king salmon. Great wine list for an Asian restaurant! Loved the salad rolls and the ramen. Will definitely go again!

Every time we come to Juju it blows us away. We love the classy upscale casual vibe it brings, as well as the food that never ever disappoints. My boyfriend and I typically opt for the bomb a** shrimp, drunken noodles, and the bing bread. Tonight we got the lemon curd dessert and the peanut butter mousse dessert as well and they were to die for
