In partnership with the neighboring Junior on Notre Dame street, Jun Jun welcoming atmosphere does set the right tone along its narrow & deep layout, including a small bar area. A long pine green wall contrasts against an opposing white wall & dotted with bleached maple tables & black chairs...overall it works. The menu is not atypical Filipino food...more inspired by than actual dishes. For our large groups we ordered one of everything (at least...on two dishes we asked for re-orders). I will not go though every dish but call out what we found were the stand outs...NILIGASA SA MISO (a calamansi braised cabbage with miso glaze...very, very tasty. So much so we ordered in twice), KAMTENG PINAKBET (a baked sweet potato dish...also excellent & twice ordered), ARROZ CALDO (a mushroom risotto which, I am not clear on the Filipino connection, but was a big hit at the table) & the KABIBI (seared scallops...again, delicious). Furthermore, the only two desserts available were also excellent & we were hard pressed to determine which was our favorite; either thee TURON MILLE-FEUILLE or the BIBINGKA. Either way, both are great! Service was excellent. The server was extremely friendly & simultaneously professional & casual with the food (especially the appetizers) being delivered almost immediately after ordering & the food flowing seamlessly after that. Definitely a place to checkout & try. Enjoy! NOTE: With regards to the menu option...as we were leaving the young talented chef gracious met us at our table & subsequently informed us that the menu would be change in a few weeks to reflect a Spring season so I am not sure what on this Winter menu will be retained.
Food & service were great. Laing was a bit heavy & myself & one of my (Asian) dining guests were dying a bit for some white rice. ;) I was seated at the very back table & it was a bit chilly next to the window on not that cold of a day. I don't know if a curtain or strategic furnishing/decor might solve that. Maybe get a larger bin for the garbage in the bathrooms, it was overflowing when I went towards the end of the night, & the nicer paper hand towels do take up more space. Since those random seeming details are the only negatives, that means it was fantastic overall. Both of my dining guests also really enjoyed their visit & the meal. It was also fun to be able to talk to staff to learn more about the dishes beyond the description; shout out to Rey & Lorenzo for the extra details. Bravo to the JunJun team + Buboy.
