JUN JUN stands out for inventive Filipino-inspired cooking, delivering a bold, flavorful tasting experience and a brunch that some loved, all in a warm, energetic setting where the staff's friendliness and attentiveness shine. Reviewers note superb dishes like short rib and octopus while some items were unavailable or slightly overcooked, and a few guests felt the price was high for the portions. The ambiance combines intimate, hospitable service with a vibrant playlist and lively dining energy, making it a memorable destination worth returning to for a range of occasions, from date nights to group gatherings, with recommendations to try the tasting menu to sample the variety.
We had an epic dinner at Junjun that blew us away! Expectations were sky-high, & Junjun absolutely nailed it. The place was buzzing, but despite booking bar seats, we got hooked up with a table-major props for that. Ray, the manager, was a total rockstar, making sure everything was on point with his phenomenal service. Super friendly, always smiling, & he gave us remarkable menu & drink tips. Let's talk food-Scallops Crudo? Super tasty. That Cabbage? Spicy & packed with flavor! The Duck Adobo was a flavor bomb, & the Longanisa? Straight-up amazing. But the showstopper? The Octopus Kare-Kare. This dish is next-level, hands down the best octopus I've ever had. The vibes were on fire with great music, & the rest of the crew was just as awesome-friendly, attentive, & keeping the energy high. Junjun, you nailed it. Can't wait to come back! Highly recommend it!!

We came here for our anniversary dinner & got the 5 part tasting menu. Firstly the food is amazing. On top the staff were not only friendly but also explained all the dishes & were just lovely people. Would highly recommend.
Absolutely amazing!! Rey, Neil, Lorenzo & Jason made a night to remember !! Food service & ambiance was outstanding. I strongly recommend the tasting menu !
unforgettable experience! We opted for the 5 & 6-course tasting menu, & every dish's presentation was nothing short of art. The flavors were equally impressive, with each course offering a delightful mix that showcased the creativity of modern Filipino inspired fusion cuisine. From the unique twists on traditional dishes to the innovative flavor combinations, every bite was a new adventure. The atmosphere of the restaurant added to the overall experience & our waitress was incredibly kind & attentive. Highly recommend!
We had fantastic evening here. The food was amazing: creative, unique, & delicious. Service was friendly & attentive. We got the five course testing menu & shared a dessert, which was plenty of food. Highly recommended!
We had the 5 course tasting menu & it was great. The server was lovely & explained every dish to us, the memories they invoked for him as a Filipino, & how he would suggest we eat each. The dishes were flavourful & unique. I particularly enjoyed the Mackerel & the leek dish. The desserts were also truly spectacular. Highly recommend this spot !

We had seen this place coming out of Junior Philipeno which is down the street. Junjun has incredible food. We got the lion mushroom steak & mille feuille for dessert. Highly recommend the Nilaga sa miso as an appetizer.
Tout était parfait, belle découverte. Le personnel était très sympa & professionnel. Nourriture excellente, le niveau culinaire est très élevé. L'ambiance est très agréable. Je recommande vraiment cet endroit.
An amazing new find! Really loved the modern interpretation of Filipino cuisine. Lots of personality & character in the interior design & how the service is run. Great for dates or as a group. Highly recommended
