Friendly, knowledgeable service. Delicious food. The sweet potato was a star. Loved the selection of nonalcoholic drinks.

Jun is an absolute gem! Hands down, the best espresso martini I’ve ever had – and trust me, I’ve had my fair share. The flavors were perfectly balanced, making each sip unforgettable. The dishes here are a perfect blend of nutrition and taste, packed with wholesome ingredients that don’t sacrifice phenomenal flavor. Highly recommend for anyone looking to indulge without compromising on quality. Can’t wait to come back!

Ah Jun, I really wanted to like you. But, alas, was not the case. It was almost like a tinder date with attractive pictures and promising communication , yet turns up to be mildly bipolar. The good: our waitress was excellent, extremely friendly, knowledgeable and on top of things. Presentation of food was exquisite, plates were swapped when needed , so flavor would not contaminate. Attention to details was clearly noticeable. I really enjoyed the decor, though table top lighting needs to improve ( every single table was using phone light to read their menus. The bad : table size - table for 2 was smaller than one at Parisian sidewalk cafe. I understand every square foot counts, but don't be greedy. Food was hit n miss. Some good some unimpressive. Cauliflower was undercooked, not in a good way. Oysters were delicious but not well cleaned, I got shell debris in my mouth. Cocktails.... I wouldn't know because they make theirs with sake and while I can appreciate a good sake cocktail, I'd prefer a proper spirit one ( especially for listed prices) . Speaking of prices, it is up there, not terrible, but I'd definitely expect more for what I'm paying. Btw, unbeknown to you there will be $4 charge for kitchen tip... Really? Nickel and dime... If place is in such need of $4 off each table... Just charge me extra $1 for a plate.

Fun relaxed vibe, solid tasting menu， yummy cocktails. Their twist on a michelada is unique.
Horrible experience. My girlfriend and I asked to split the 6-course chef's tasting menu at Jun. We do this frequently in restaurants simply because there always seems to be too much food for one person. I'm very accustomed to restaurants having policies that prohibit splitting this sort of meal, which I understand. Often times restaurants will charge a plate fee of $15-$25 to split the tasting menu. And sometimes, they gladly split the meal.
On this occasion, I told the server we would like to split the tasting menu and he said ok. He returned to the kitchen and placed the order. No problem. All is good. We enjoyed our dinner. However, when we received the check, we were charged for two tasting menus at $85 a plate. We asked to speak with the manager and were told that their policy did not allow the tasting menu to be split. That's fine, it's their prerogative. However, our server did not inform us of this policy. We explained this to the manager and were simply baffled by the response we received. "We should have known the policy since we had dined there so often" (we never ordered the tasting menu before). "The menu clearly states it's $85 per person" (however it doesn't mention the policy which prohibits splitting the meal). "Our server was very busy, dealing with 20 customers" (so he made a mistake and neglected to mention the policy, it is not our fault). None of these arguments would put the blame on us. We were not informed.
THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS OF ALL, THE SERVER ADMITTED THAT HE DID NOT INFORM US OF THE POLICY PROHIBITING THE SPLITTING OF THE TASTING MENU.
After all this, they refused to charge us just for what we ordered. They charged us twice.
It doesn't make sense.
I was very embarrassed to have been put in such a situation where I had to speak with TWO managers about this injustice.
They were extremely rude. None of it made any sense to me. It's an awful way to manage a restaurant.
I WILL NEVER RETURN. AWFUL EXPERIENCE

It’s very meh. I don’t know a restaurant that is this expensive that offers such a mediocre product. The cauliflower was hard and undercooked, the mushrooms congee was okay. The ribs were hard and stuck to the bone, most Houston bbq places have better ribs. The tenderloin was okay, but $55 for 5oz?? The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice. They also just use sake in their cocktails and don’t have traditional liquor. Forget about an old fashioned. Clearly this restaurant tries to leverage its celebrity vs putting forth a good product. Save your money and go to Bludorn or Nobys instead. Very average. Also, they will charge a $4 kitchen tip to your bill without telling you.

I was visiting from out of town and I was looking forward to going to this restaurant after finally finding a time to meet up with my girl friends in years. We were excited to try this restaurant, but unfortunately the service from our waiter, Stephen, left a sour taste in our mouths and ruined our reunion. Three of my friends and I wanted to participate in the chefs tasting menu with the wine pairing. One of my friends who came in 15 minutes later to the table just got laid off and didn’t want to participate in the chef’s tasting menu. Stephen said we all could not order the chef’s tasting unless all members of the table ordered it. This was not mentioned to us prior to ordering nor was it stated on the menu. After this we decided to order individual entrees our waiter said all the portions were pretty small and proceeded to put down the biggest portions. For instance instead of the half chicken order he put the full. Also, he gave us an order of baguettes we didn’t request and subsequently charged for it instead of explaining if it would be complimentary or not. The one thing my friend who got laid off wanted to try was the carrots, but that didn’t come out until the very end even after the whole fried chicken. If the order of food was going to be served that way, we would not have ordered the carrots. We did not feel welcomed by Stephen’s service. He made the whole experience weird when this is supposed to be an upscale restaurant. I was not planning on coming back and not leave any review, but Stephen came out of the restaurant and yelled at us in the parking lot about his tip. I have never experienced such unprofessionalism and ugly display of behavior. After this experience, I would not go back to this establishment. Any person that considers himself a man should not harass a group of women in the middle of the night outside an upscale restaurant.

Amazing!! So glad I finally tried this place. Everything was delicious, but the oysters and the smoked butter were my favorite ? I had two delicious cocktails as well. Will definitely be back.
I have been looking forward to dining at Jun and it did not disappoint. We did the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Every bite was spot on. Service was perfect. And the vibe in the restaurant was lovely. Can't wait to go back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

???Amazing all the way around! Food - impeccable. can’t wait to come back!
Wine options - excellent. You’re not going to get the drug store brand, so expect to enjoy good flavor with a good price.
Atmosphere - just wonderful. From the entry doors, to the bar lounge area, and the dining area.
I absolutely cannot wait to go back!

So cute! My photos are terrible- but Obviously came here to fangirl just a little. Was 100% worth it. Service was outstanding, food was outstanding, we had reservations but opted to sit at the bar. All of the staff was fantastic! We did the chefs tasting menu and wine pairing, we definitely had favorites but everything was delicious. We also tried the Tamale, sausage and chicken-because why not? They were all AMAZING. We were absolutely so happy we came here and would add this to one of our favorite Houston spots.

I really wanted to like Jun. I like everything about the idea. The execution unfortunately was a miss. Service was painfully slow. We all arrived for a 6:45 reservation and were promptly seated. The waiter told us we had to order all the food at once so he could parse it out appropriately. Despite ALL of our food order being in by 6:55 the entrees did not arrive to our table until 8:45, at which time I was so hungry I could have eaten my fork. He also specifically told us that everything was fast to prepare.
Atmosphere was far too dark. Used phone flashlight to see what I was eating.
Pros: congee was nice and creative. Loved the pickled vegetables
Cons: interminable wait for food. Incessant replacement of new dishes after almost every appetizer (3x before chicken arrived). Chicken was dry for white meat and uncooked for the dark meat.
Jun needs some work to try to hang with restaurants of the caliber they want to be.

Waiter was never around. We had to constantly get other waiters to get us things, ask question, and eta on food. Didn't come back till food was finished which took over 1 hour. Mind you we were the only black people in the establishment and he and others would dodge or purposely not see us until we had to call out to them. Mind you this place is small. Fish was salty, our waiter disappeared and started making drink and we never saw him again until he brought us the bill, that we had to ask another waiter to get for us because he was a ghost. But easily was asking his other tables and repeatedly making sure everything was okay. Food was mediocre and lacked flavor, service was mediocre at best. We will not be returning. My drink was good but not worth $20 for a small wine glass.
Friendly, knowledgeable service. Delicious food. The sweet potato was a star. Loved the selection of nonalcoholic drinks.
