                                                JuJu has been a favorite for a long time. Alex was our server and he was "top notch"! Very thoughtful keeping our water glasses filled and answering all our questions about the menu. Food is always very, very good. Perfect place for a former co-worker get together over lunch. Quiet. I'll definitely be back. PS was surprised it wasn't more crowded for lunch on a Friday; however, with more people working from home, may contribute to lower business lunches.

                                                This was our 2nd night in a row to dine at Juju's, we were greeted again promptly by the same Hostess from the first night ( hate I didn't get her name again) but this time she greeted me by using my name which was a very important notice for me. Our server tonight was Brea and once again she was fantastic. I asked her about several drinks and dishes which she made great recommendations. Overall experience again great and I look forward to trying yet other dishes.

                                                When I made a reservation, only high top tables were available. I included a note with my reservation asking if it would be at all possible to put us at a standard table, as one of our guests is 89 years old! I really REALLY appreciated it that this request was accommodated! Our waiter was super friendly and helpful, and the food came quite quickly! My drink was delicious (whiskey, blueberry, ...)! My husband really liked his Thai beer! The dumplings were great, potatoes were awesome! The broccoli was a really small serving and not that flavorful. Kung Pao Tofu was good. Scallops were good. I love the warm ambiance of the restaurant, but the space suddenly got quite cold troward the end of our meal. We were all looking around to see if a door was open somewhere, but we didn't see anything.
