    松露野菌牛油拌饭 Truffle and mushroom rice (含豬肉Contains pork)
    Diane N.

    An absolute delight and a great choice if you're a mushroom fan! This place has been on my queue for a while to try out, and it really hit the spot. I came here on a Friday evening with my friend to grab dinner around 6:00 PM. The wait was around an hour, so be very prepared if you're coming during the dinner rush. This spot is located where the majority of the Asian restaurants are in Milpitas, so it's safe to say the parking can get a bit hectic and intense. The interior of the place is very bright, modern, and clean. There is a lot of seating for a small space, but the reason they are so busy has a lot to do with the number of people wanting to check this spot out. When you sit down, you scan their virtual menu via QR code and order there instead of through a server. You have the choice to order on one phone as a group or separately. Between my friend and me, we ordered a beef mint salad, fried tofu, confit mushrooms, and truffle mushroom rice. I will say that when we first got the fried tofu and confit mushrooms, we were quite surprised by the small portions compared to the price. That said, they were delicious, but skippable if you're trying to find the best bang for your buck. What I absolutely would recommend is their truffle mushroom fried rice. This might have been my best bite this month. It was so savory, the mushrooms hit perfectly, and the coating of butter on the rice was supreme. It was $28 for a bowl, but it was a good value to split between two people. Overall, this place had great, fast service (our food came out in under 10 minutes), a nice ambiance, and fresh, flavorful food.

    The food here is so amazing! We had silkworms, aorta wok, and laksa shrimp fried rice. But the highlight of our meal was the freshly squeezed sugarcane juice. Loved the unique menu and would love to go again. Service was quick too, and lovely decor. But the place is a bit smallish.

    I've enjoyed every dish I've tried here so far. My particular favorite is the cheung fun. Other dishes I've tried and liked: yunnan chicken with potato chips (spicy!) and the beef noodle soup. Great ambiance and chill staff.

    Update that our favorite items are the truffle mushroom fried rice, roasted eggplant, shrimp laksa fried rice, and rice rolls! The rice portions are pretty large although I found the portion sizes for other items on the smaller side.

    Jun Bistro has been around for a while. I don't understand the hype that was shown via Instagram or other social media influencers. Portions are small and the food itself is subpar. Overall, the menu is expensive for the quality and in comparison to other restaurants. Photos of dishes make the entrees look larger than they actually are. The tableware is smaller than normal dishware. Fantuan has everything 40% off price wise and some items free, leading me to question why anyone bothers to dine in store. The wait was short, but the tables are arranged to be close to each other. The wait for the food was long in between dishes. We ordered a mix of items: 云南包浆豆腐 Yunnan Signature Fried Tofu had pillowy fried tofu. The sauce was in a super tiny sauce cup about the size of a small jar cap. Sad to say this was the only good dish. 叻沙菠萝菌菇虾炒饭 Laksa Shrimp Fried Rice had overcooked rice, undercooked pineapple, and an overcooked egg on top. 油浸菌子 Wild Mushrooms Conserva is a mix of mushrooms served in a palm sized dish. It is drowned in sesame oil and chili oil, making it an overly oily bowl of tough to chew mushrooms. 师大附中门口的大酥牛肉米线 Braised Angus Beef Rice Noodle was a watered down version of bun bo hue that was more watery then tomato flavored. Noodles itself were fine. Tomatoes were diced into such small pieces fit to be served to a child. Service was more attentive towards bigger parties. Our empty bowls were left on the table for a while which made navigating the meal difficult. Won't be coming back here. Maybe I'll order off of Fantuan if I want to try it again.

    Tried this place out for weekend lunch and got their truffle and mushroom rice which seemed like their main dish, along with the fried tofu and stir-fried cheung fun. Each dish was pretty good and had "very strong flavors", to the point that I wish I had a balance dish like plain rice to go along with in order to eat more, but individually speaking each dish is layered very well in flavor and worth trying out. Ambiance is nice inside, service was bare minimum - I don't mind but you may need to flag a waiter several times to get their attention. Place was full and had a wait list for seating 10-30 mins or so on a weekend noontime.

    Overall we had a very positive experience for a Friday dinner. The entire restaurant was full by the time we arrived at 5:45PM so I would say you need to go when they open. Truffle & Mushroom Butter Rice Braised Angus Beef Rice Noodle Stir- fry pea sprouts Lemongrass pot chicken Banana Leaf wrapped seabass Dessert Youtiao dough bread pudding Dinosaur Cutie Taiwan Bun (Passionfruit and taro flavor) The most impressive dish is the Truffle & Mushroom Butter Rice. I want to come back for lunch so I can get their Yunnan Rose Coffee or Tea Latte. It says on the menu that their coffee beans and tea leaves are from pristine mountains of Yunnan. They do serve coffee for dinner time but I can't take the caffeine at night. The service is above average for a chinese restaurant. The waiter was pretty patience with us as we brought an elderly guest with us at the table so we took a little longer to enjoy our meal. The interior design of the restaurant is pretty interesting where the booth is align an triangular shape with a center piece so the tables can be put together for larger parties very easily. Definitely easier to get a table for parties of 4 or less but it will work out for larger parties as well.

    I just checked out this Yunnan-inspired California bistro, which specializes in Yunnan-Guizhou cuisine. The character Jun means "mushroom" in Chinese. I'm a big fan of mushrooms, and I loved the umami flavors they created in each dish. I tried a few of their new and signature dishes, and my favorites were the fried tofu (crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, plus perfectly seasoned), the truffle mushroom rice (I really enjoyed the depth of flavor), and the fire-roasted eggplant with rice crackers (I loved the different layers of texture and flavor). Their drinks were also delicious, and the staff were kind and friendly!

    Went to Jun Bistro for an early Friday dinner at 5:30. Good thing as we grabbed one of the last open tables. There was a wait for most of the customers after us. Parking gets a little crazy in Milpitas Square, so that's another reason to go early. First thing we notice as we sit down is a giant map of China on the wall and regionality of certain mushrooms. We were destined to have at least some mushrooms. The other thing we noticed was some of the very unique dishes on the menu like silkworm pupae and steamed stinky tofu! The food: Truffle and Mushroom Butter Rice - a blend of many different mushrooms on rice. The truffle flavor is very pronounced. This was so good, I tried to mimic the recipe at home. Qianshan Chili Fragrant Frog - I love the salty spicy flavor of this dish. I've had frog a few times, but never crispy like they have it in this entree. Lemongrass Pot Chicken - chicken and potatoes with a good amount of lemongrass flavor. Hits the spot and is very comforting. Braised Angus Beef Rice Noodle - large tender pieces of beef in a meaty broth Chicken Liver Pate with Chinese Donut - it tastes exactly like how it sounds. Wouldn't say it's a great match, but hard to go wrong with two ingredients that are very good by themselves. Steamed Stinky Tofu - the texture of this dish was like previously fried tofu that was steamed. It was ok, but I vastly prefer the fried version. Jun Bistro was packed for a reason - interesting dishes, bursting with flavor. Makes us want to come back and try other things on the menu.

    Disappointed with the quality of one of our dishes. Jun Bistro specializes in Yunnan cuisine, with a focus on mushroom-based dishes. We visited on a weekday, and the restaurant was quite busy; there was a wait for a table, and the dishes took some time to arrive. The main issue was the fish dish, which took over 30 minutes and arrived significantly undercooked and cold on the inside, with only the outer layer slightly warm. After checking with the server, they confirmed it wasn't properly cooked and offered a replacement dish, but by then, we were no longer willing to wait for another 30+minutes for a fish replacement, so we opted for an additional appetizer. While this may have been an isolated mistake, proper quality control is important--especially with dishes like fish. Fortunately, we did not experience any adverse effects. The other dishes we tried were decent, but none stood out.

    Jun Bistro is the best place for modern Yunnan-Chinese cuisine!! I love how each of their dishes is healthy and light while being full of flavor!! My favorite dishes are their Stir Fried Cheung Fun, the Truffle and Mushroom Butter Rice, and Laska Shrimp Fried Rice. Every bite was irresistibly delicious and I keep thinking about both dishes. Interiors is nicely decorated with greenery and staff was helpful.

    Steamed Stinky Tofu
    Daniel H.

    Came on a weekday for dinner had a pretty solid experience overall. Ordered the stinky tofu, truffle and mushroom rice, and the spicy ground pork rice noodle soup. The stinky tofu was definitely very stinky, exactly how I wanted it. Flavor was good, but it's one of those dishes that's probably not for everyone. The rice noodle soup was tangy and slightly sweet, with the tomato flavor really standing out. It wasn't very spicy despite what the menu suggested. The noodles were a bit too soft for my liking, but still a solid dish overall. The highlight was easily the truffle and mushroom rice. Super aromatic and every bite was packed with flavor. I'd honestly come back just for this. Service was good, and the ambiance was nice with some plants in the middle adding to the vibe. It was pretty packed when we were there, so water refills weren't as frequent, but nothing I'd dock points for. Would certainly return.

    Very solid Yunnan style restaurant - their take is to fuse Yunnan with Californian cuisine Service is very attentive and detailed they filled my water a good amount and also even called me to make sure I got my reservation spot when I was walking around outside Food is very balanced and executed well. Nothing really popped flavor wise - I expected more mushroom flavors at the center stage, BUT everything did taste yummy and I kind of think their intention was to make the mushrooms more subtle. I do like how it's incorporated into almost every dish. Would recommend and would come back!! The salad was very refreshing - sprinkles of mint leaves and the pickled radish?? Wasn't overly acidic. Also decent portion of mushrooms included it was a set of fun chewy textures. Mushrooms not overcooked. Saw them using good woks and high heat through the kitchen window Truffle mushroom rice was great!!! it was like clay pot rice without the clay pot but the mushroom flavor didnt really infuse too much into the rice. Truffle flavor came through tho and good butteriness + fat from the pork sausage

Both were really good but my favorite was still the shrimp. I loved the veggies in the roll too. They can be a bit hard to pick up and eat because they're massive and cut into thirds. Other than that, the rice noodles are thin and silky and hold the sauce nicely. The sauce is also delicious. We also ordered the fish congee which was simple but comforting. It comes out PIPING hot so don't burn your tongue. Fish was tender and flavorful. Overall no complaints and the service was quick. Highly recommend!

I walked around, was finally able to get a waitress who was willing to talk to me. I explained that I didn't know they only took cash and I wonder if I can pay through other ways. She pointed at the wall and told me "it says on the wall", sounding like blaming me for not getting cash ready. Yes, maybe I should have read all the signs on the wall, but I really don't enjoy being blamed when I did nothing wrong. Assuming credit cards as one of the payment methods is not my fault, just how the society works. Anyway, I was able to pay them via Venmo, but I did not enjoy the experience at all.
