This quickly became one of our top 5 favorite restaurants in SLC last night and mainly because there aren’t many restaurants of this caliber in the area. The presentation and more importantly flavors of the food matched what you would expect to get at a restaurant in nyc. For the two of us, we ordered: 2 antipasti, 1 primi and 1 segundi and it was the perfect amount of food. Bread with some amazing butters and arugula pesto dipping oil are also brought out. The aurora crudo, tartare di manzo, tagliolino al mentaiko and tagliata di bosco were all delicious. I would absolutely order them again and recommend. The tartare, served on a foundation of thinly sliced and stacked potatoes, and the mentaiko, such a unique pasta flavor, were probably my favorite standout dishes of the night.
You definitely need a reservation if you’re coming on the weekend. It would be cool if you could reserve the type of table or at least the “chefs” counter vs a booth. The ambiance and vibe wasn’t as intimate or unique (we were seated in a booth) as I was hoping but it wasn’t an issue.
We will be back!

Fantastic restaurant! The menu has lots of great options with interesting fusions and approaches to dishes. We loved everything we ordered. The ambience is really nice too and great place for a date. Also the service is great with attentive and friendly staff - I felt like we got things at just the right time and without any lulls where we felt like we were waiting and also without feeling rushed

The food was wonderful. Asian fusion IS my thing! The only real complaint I have was the service. Our server was not bad, but sometimes, it took a while to get a hold of her. Also, I asked for more complimentary bread and butter, but she did not bring it out. In addition, she didn't seem too friendly.
The food itself was good. Each dish was definitely unique. The tagliolino al mentaiko had a very subtle taste to it, but it was nice and creamy. The matcha tiramisu was soft and had a hint of matcha flavor. I really like the midnight burrata! It came out very hot haha I think it could be a dessert with how sweet it is. The complimentary bread and butter/sauce was nice to have. The butters are made in house. I like how they gave me different kinds of butter, one being truffle flavored. I wanted more bread & butter but was not given any more, even though I specifically asked. Overall, nice vibe. It's very minimally modern. I would consider this place a more upscale dining establishment.

We ended up going here on a whim one night. We didn't have a reservation, but we put our name in and they got us in a little later. The atmosphere is quaint, comfortable, and elevated in my opinion. Or the food was that different, and that good. Table of four we ordered a few appetizers for the table and a couple mains to share. We were all pleasantly surprised with the unique flavors on classic dishes. Service was also great, they checked in on us often and helped with all questions about the menu. I am looking forward to going back soon.

What an awesome place. With Cosmica getting all the hype, Junah actually was much better.
Creative food that is a perfect fusion between Italian and Japanese. Great wine pairings, and amazing atmosphere once you get inside (street outside is a little sketchy).
Get as many apps as you can, and split some entrées so you can experience all the food. Even the deserts lived up to the Italian/Japanese fusion somehow!
My wife and I went here on our anniversary and it is our new go to spot for any future special occasions.

Wow! I was blown away by the flavors. A gem! I had the Waygu Ragu- it was epic! Loved the vibe, the variety- so many amazing dishes I wanted to sample- we will be back! I’d recommend Junah, in a heartbeat and so should you! Five plus across the board!

Came here with almost no expectations, other than it had good reviews. Absolutely blown away by every dish we had. The appetizers were fantastic, the specials were extraordinary! More Italian than Japanese, but overwhelmingly delicious either way. Would give a higher score if possible.
Such a great dining experience! The staff is very friendly, and the service is attentive. The waiters are also good about allergies/dietary restrictions. For appetizers, I highly recommend the miatake mushroom and beet salad. Both are full of unique flavors that all go well together. I got the black cod for my main tonight and it was really good!! The cauliflower foam is immaculate. All in all, 10/10 experience!! Will definitely be back.
Junah has easily become one of my favorite restaurants in Salt Lake. The ambience is amazing, and the staff are great. The real star though, is the food. We shared two appetizers, the beet salad and the stuffed zucchini flower special. We also each had our own entree, the wagyu ragu and the black cod, and then split the cabaret soaked pear dessert. Everything was absolutely top notch, and we will definitely be back soon.

The appetizers we had were great, the maitake and the burrata yum! The wine I got for $20 a glass was meh, but whatever wine can be very hit or miss. The main downer was the beef entree. Most expensive dish on the menu and it was disappointing. Tasted like anybody's backyard chewy tri tip with a ton of sauce that wasn't that great. Kept getting blasts of wasabi every once in a while that were very off putting. The Gailan was also very old and not flavorful, 😫. Won't be coming back.

This Salt Lake City dining experience was exquisite! Every plate’s presentation was so tasteful and every bite was a dream. My daughter and I shared two of their specials- a pasta dish with sausage in a rich vodka sauce, and a risotto with prosciutto, fig, and berries. Both were out of this world. We also shared two desserts- a matcha tiramisu with pistachio and a crème brûlée with gorgeous cherries and sauce. What a wonderful fusion of Italian and Japanese cuisine. We think it was some of the best food we’ve eaten, and we highly recommend!
