About Jujube

Jujube is a modern restaurant rooted in the flavors of Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine, distilled and whimsically refined with western sensibilities. Part of creating an inspired cuisine is getting out of the way while allowing tradition and the beauty of nature shine through, all while putting an individual stamp on each dish. Jujube does both, by weaving classic Asian dishes alongside one-of-a-kind creations stemmed from the heart and onto the eclectic menu. Follow along with Jujube on Instagram and Facebook.
