Tucked away below a jazz club, Jukai offers a cozy and intimate dining experience. The restaurant is known for its delicious Japanese food, such as sashimi, braised duck, duck confit, tuna rolls, and Beef Sukiyaki Set for Two. The set comes with four appetizers and a dessert, providing a well-rounded meal. The fish and food are generally great, with some reviews praising the sashimi set, duck tartar, chirashi bowl, duck tongue, and desserts. However, the hotpot set and Sukiyaki are considered average and quite pricey, with some finding them not worth the cost. The appetizers are small and may not be very flavorful, and the broth in the shabu shabu can be bland. Although prices are high, the high-quality ingredients and attentive staff make the experience worthwhile for many. The atmosphere is dimly lit and romantic, making it a perfect spot for a date night. The service is excellent, with kind and considerate staff. The restaurant also offers a selection of wines and drinks, including ginger ale. Overall, Jukai remains a hidden gem for those seeking a delicious and intimate dining experience, despite some dishes being considered expensive and average.
