Exceptional to every last detail! The staff, ambience, and decor create a charming and welcoming atmosphere as soon as you walk in. An impressive menu is simplified with curated suggestions from the knowledgeable staff and the opportunity to enjoy the chefs' tasting menu! We were also able to add a couple menu items to our order, too tempted by descriptions of the bold combinations of flavors to leave them off the table! Meeting Chef Evelyn Garcia was another highlight; her warmth and kindness only added to the already amazing experience at Jun. Without a doubt, we will be back for more.
Slow service, food was ok. i recommend the congee dish

There are some restaurants where you feel the love in every corner, and this is one—from Mexican artwork and flora in the bathroom to the pops of color on a dish.Outstanding: oysters, scallops (with potatoes), sweet potato/labneh. We debated ordering a 2nd round.Has a very Nola vibe…the feels, all-around.

Over hyped. Service was lame. The mussel dish was overly sour too much lemongrass. The scallop dish was okay. The bread service was honestly the highlight.The fried chicken was overly salted and ate dry.The carrots were not that good.The oysters were very good.The place is too dark and I could smell the oil burning from the candles at the table which was a little off putting.The mushroom drink was interesting and the Christmas in Jun was overly sour as well.Just another overhyped restaurant in the heights. Wouldn’t recommend

Loved the food, but service was not great at all. When we first sat down the server asked us if it was our first time at the restaurant, we thought she would explain the restaurant and the concept a bit more. But she just said ok and walked off. We ordered a few dishes and wanted to keep one of the menus on the table. We were rudely toldby the waiter that holding on to the menu is not possible because they do not want to get the menus stained. The waiter made everything extremely awkward and unfriendly from there on. She would quickly bring the food to the table and drop it off without saying anything making it seem like we deeply offended her by asking to hold to one of the menus? Very odd. The redeeming factor of the bad service was the food which was hands down great. We had the cauliflower, oysters, sweet potatoes, whole fish, prawns, fried chicken, and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. The carrots, whole fish, and oysters were our favorite. We will be back for the food. Maybe the rude waiter would be having a better day next time?

Great place to eat. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. I knew it was going to be good when ai tried the michelada and it was on point. The bread is amazing. Must try. We also really enjoyed the scallops and chicken.

Had a nice night a Jun, tried a lot of different items on the menu to get a good feel for the restaurant. The items I really enjoyed was the corn bread and the sesame butter, beef tartar, carrots, ribs and scallops. Definitely would come back for the next menu change to try those dishes.

We are foodies and have a friend who is a food critic that recommended we all dine here. We were so excited to try this place. Our server and the sommelier were amazing. Sadly that was the only good thing about our $1,500 meal. The manager Keaton was extremely rude and condescending from the beginning acting like they were doing us a favor allowing us to dine. The food is fine but way over priced for what it is and making a reservation for our party two weeks in advance was so difficult from the beginning. They wouldn’t allow me to make the reservation on OpenTable and had to email them. With all the back and forth filling out forms and giving my credit card to make the reservation for 8, I made a mistake and put 6 instead of 8. I realized the mistake upon our arrival at 8:45pm. (We wanted a 7pm reservation but they would only seat us at 8:45.) I was super embarrassed and very apologetic. The manager was so rude about the whole thing to our entire party and even when I tried to apologize he rolled his eyes at me making me feel horrible. Don’t give this place any of your energy time or money. They don’t even have real cocktails…
Had an early dinner on a Wednesday. We got there at 5:30 and were told that they were completely booked for the evening but we could sit outside. There was only one table sat inside. We left an hour and a half later and there were still a ton of tables open…. The tartare and shrimp aguachile were phenomenal and if it weren’t for the attitude of the maitre d I would go back for these 2 dishes alone. The board and the prawn skewers were abhorrent. The broccolini, scallops, pork ribs, and fried chicken were all sub par…. For a $300 dinner it did not feel worth it. Next time we will just go to Uchi or Le Jardinier.
My husband and I had a fantastic date night at Jun. The moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the staff and led to our table. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, perfect for a romantic evening. The food blew us away - every dish we tried was delicious and beautifully presented. Our server, Kyle, was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and helped us choose the perfect cocktails. He was attentive throughout the night, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. From the appetizers to the main course, everything was top-notch, especially the gulf shrimp and the fried chicken. We left feeling satisfied, impressed, and already planning our next visit. Jun is a must-visit for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience.

We had an unforgettable dinner. For two people they recommended 5-7 items, we couldn't finish 5, but one was the amazing full chicken. Favorites were Carrot and Sweet Potato. Expensive but worth

Waiter was very weird. He tended to try and sell us against anything we tried to order. Temperature in the restaurant was very warm, and the dining room side was so dimly lit that you couldn't see the menu or food. Won't be back.

Loved this place when it first opened and have been dying to come back. But both food and service SUCKED this time.Our waitress seemed nice, but she has no business waitressing. She didn’t bring us menus, did NOT check on us one time. She also coursed our meals weird without prior communication. Only two things were brought out at one time, one app and one entree. What if we wanted the apps first or didn’t want to share? Just stare at the other one eat?Everything but the fried chicken came out cold. Idk, was grilled prawn, carrots, and cauliflower supposed to be cold?Both of our carrots and cauliflower apps were overly charred. Pieces of the dish were, BLACK, not edible.Ribs were so salty and too heavy on dark soy.The fried chicken was on point tho. Not overly salty and hot.Man, Idk what happened to this place, very disappointed for $70/person.
