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 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.

We were 4 couples celebrating the birthdays of the gals in the group of 8. My friend specifically mentioned the occasion to our server (as well as on the Open Table reservation.) We enjoyed cocktails before dinner, lots of wine with dinner, and several small plates and entrees. The server announced to us at the end, "we don't do birthdays." This was strange as they have a dessert menu. We were NOT expecting free deserts. We were expecting an acknowledgement that we choose this place to celebrate 4 birthdays. Suggestions: they could have cut up a desert into 4 for the birthday gals or presented a tiny scoop of ice cream or sorbet as a token of their appreciation of our choosing their restaurant. It was very odd. They lost an opportunity because no doubt we would have all ordered coffee or drinks and more desert. Very disappointing.

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

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".
I would say a good dinner. Not as quiet as hoped for. But not the fault of the owners. The food was very good: Skirt Steak & Arancini (a bit overpriced) & Bolognese (perfect price and taste). $93 w tip and no drinks was a bit high. Will we go back.??? Maybe. It would be for the reason of the Bolognese alone though.
We had a wonderful post-game family dinner here. The food was excellent; unique fusion style. Wine list was great, and the drinks very well done. The dumplings were very tasty, and the brussel sprouts were yummy. The bulgogi, hangar steak with peanut sauce, and the pork bolognese were all amazing. We will definitely return soon!

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

It's easily one of the overhyped and worst asian places around. Let me explain1. We requested water for kids in glasses with lids. What we get is take away box with water and straw2. Cocktails were watered down. They could give corona run for its money. Also, who brings drinks and food to the table holding them directly in hand and not trays ? Leave alone rice, which was served in soup cup and soup spoon3. Food is a HUGE letdown. Crispy chicken was not Crispy, Kung Pao was way too salty, Dumplings were over fried when the insta page showed that they were served steamed. Crispy cauliflower was more like raw cauliflower with some sauce. Gado Gado was tasteless as well. Clearly, they had a bad chef in.. we returned home half full4. They are the 1st restaurant that clearly mention that they want us patrons paying in cash

Nice place. Service and atmosphere are great for date night. Food is
Jujube in Chapel Hill is our go-to restaurant for celebrations. The food is consistently interesting and good. The service is reliably attentive and friendly. Since the pandemic the prices seem to have gone up a great deal, which may impact the frequency that we can visit, however.

The food here was really good, loved every bite. The only thing I felt was that it was missing a bit of freshness. I did have the cucumber salad but felt everything was a bit heavy. Drinks were amazing and the staff were very friendly and attentive.

This restaurant is quaint, comfortable and if you want a great experience, make your reservations. I ate at the bar as I was solo and the Spicy Curry Mushroom Soup and their Bolognese was outstanding. It will be my go to place every time I visit Chapel Hill.

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
