    This is an experience for people with a palate for interesting flavors. Everything we ordered was the best tasting food I have had in awhile if not ever. One should come to this place to have an elevated dining experience. Some reviewers have complained of the portion size. Two of us had scallops, short ribs, carrots and sweet potatoes. All were unique, flavorful dishes. We were too full for dessert. The only negative was despite being the first patrons at the restaurant it took over 45 minutes to be served additional courses after our first course.

    Amazing flavors. We enjoyed the cornbread and oysters to start, shared salmon and sweet potato. If you like spicey food enjiy the scallops and carrots. Perfect amount of heat and flavors. Had an 8:30 reservation with only 1 hour to dine. The team made sure we were able to have a wonderful 3-course meal in such a short time window and still make it back to pick up our kids from the babysitter on time.

    This may have been one of the best meals I’ve had in my entire life. Chef Evelyn and Henry have created something truly remarkable with JŪN. Everything shines at JŪN — from the incredible service and passionate hospitality to the intricate layers of flavor in every dish. I will be coming back again and again and again.

    We loved everything. The restaurant itself, the waiter, the extra touch (birthday card for my guest), and of course the food which was absolutely delicious. One minor thing: the lighting was insufficient for us to read the menu and we needed the light of our telephones. Apart from that: perfection!

    Went to celebrate birthday with my sister. The special touches throughout the meal were very nice. I had to pleasure of speaking with the Chef's during one of the pre-opening pop up tasting menus. They were so lovely and kind during that event and was hoping the restaurant would be just as good. Spoiler alert: It is. Had the board = delicious Most outstanding dish of the night - scallops. I don't know what was in the broth served with the scallops, but I want to eat it every day. Fried chicken was really incredible -- juicy, crispy with a great sauce. I kept saying "where do I buy this chicken, because this isn't Tyson's chicken" Thank you Jun, will be back again!

    The noise level was pretty high but the food was delicious! I loved the crab Rangoon as a starter. In other places the crab is often stuffed inside and the flavor is lost but having it served separate on the side was a greet way to enjoy it. We shared the lamb shank, the Chinese sausage noodles and the fried chicken along with the summer squash. The lamb shank was the best by far. The Chinese noodles were luke warm but delicious nonetheless. The chicken was good but not as interesting as the other dishes. And the summer squash with the eggplant was very good. We also shared a bottle of the Viognier which was well priced and perfectly balanced. The noise unfortunately will probably keep me from being a regular customer but I’ll definitely try it again.

    We had be encouraged by our daughter to try Jūn as she and her partner had been there on a few occasions and had even met Chef Evelyn in the past. Our experience was all we could have hoped for and a special word of thanks and recognition to Miguel and Kyle for having made our night even more memorable with the personalized service they offered our way. With the daughters living only five minutes away from the restaurant I am sure we will make our way back again (and again) in the future.

    The food was really good, we had the whole branzino fish with carrots as well as curry lamb. It was scrumptious!!! The only misses to me were the extra small print menu, the lighting in the room and the uncomfortable seating. My husband had to turn on the light on his phone just to read the menu.

    I really wanted to like Jun. We had the tasting menu with wine pairings. And the food was fantastic. But there were two big problems At this price point the wine pours were an embarrassment. And while the wine was good it wasn’t great and even the moderate pour I expected wouldn’t have been worth the price. But the biggest problem was the pacing. They really don’t seem to understand how a tasting menu meal is supposed to work. Multiple apologies for the lengthy waits between courses because “the kitchen is backed up” just mean they’re understaffed or haven’t planned how to prepare and serve such a meal. A long wait between a starter and main can be a mild annoyance but when you have it 7 times between every course it ruins an expensive evening.

    The food, the drinks and the atmosphere were all great. We had not eaten here before, so the waiter did a great job of recommending dishes that we could share as they typically serve their food family style. We ordered the "pickles" and cauliflower for an appetizer. Great mix of different pickled vegetables with a very unique (but very good) taste. For the mains we ordered the prawns, pork sausage, sweet potato and cauliflower dishes. Everything we had was excellent, but the pork sausage stole the show. We finished with the tapioca pudding for dessert, which was very light and refreshing. The mango in the pudding really pushed it to the next level. We will definitely be back.

    We've been to Jun a handful of times and each time is a delight. It was exceptionally quiet on a recent Sunday evening, but we had impeccable service and all of the food and drinks were outstanding. I appreciate that there are more than enough options for a vegetarian to have a varied and filling meal alongside someone who eats meat ordering a showstopper protein (like the whole fish).
