My friend and I tried out Jun and had a great evening. I loved the ambiance, very natural, warm dim lighting and minimalist decor. Everything aesthetically was inviting and relaxing. We tried several dishes and drinks, the ones that stood out the most for me were the congee, the beef tartare and the fried chicken. My favorite mocktail was the horchata Oye Moro with coconut rim. Very tasty and refreshingly earthy. Overall, I enjoyed the night at Jun, it has a cozy atmosphere which I really enjoyed. read more

5 of us went to Jun to celebrate a birthday, and had an overall pleasant dinner. The restaurant is nestled into a strip center off 20th between Heights Blvd and Studewood. The exterior is all white with big black glass panels, and a massive wooden door that looks like it came from Jakarta or some ancient temple. Once you step inside, the wood tones and white continues, first with the large white stucco bartop and bar area, then even into the dining area where they've cleverly hung sound proofing on the ceiling to look like woven wood. All around the interior was very warm, and inviting. There wasn't a massive crowd, nor that level of noise, and the tables seemed spaced out well enough for an intimate date night meal. We as a group settled on the tasting menu, with wine pairing. Speaking of drinks, if you're an "I must have a boozy cocktail with my dinner out" type diner, you may be disappointed to find out they only offer beer and wine. There are cocktails on the menu, but they're mostly sake based. (still tasty!) The tasting menu consisted of 9 courses, broken up into 4 segments. The first were 3 appetizers that were accompanied by a glass of Chilean Riseling. For me, the appetizers were the knockout dishes. The Gulf Shrimp Aguachile was fantastic, and the Oyster with fermented mango and Beef Tartare were tied for a close second. The next segment was a squash dish with an eggplant smear and a piece of salmon soaking in a cup of oolong tea (tastes better than it sounds). The wine was a Grenache from Mexico. The following segment was (over)roasted carrots and a lamb curry, accompanies by a delicate Oregon Pinot Noir. Lastly, dessert consisted of a nuegados, which is a Salvadorian sweet hush puppy of sorts, and a tapioca passionfruit dish. The final wine was a glass of Sauterne that paired very well. The only two plates that I wasn't 100% on was the squash and the carrot dishes, but everything else struck me as unique, well executed, and delicious in their own right. The food seemed to blend South American, Asian, and sometimes Gulf Coast/American components, and for the most part, balanced them well enough on a single plate to taste complete. (I'm posting pics too) Service, especially considering the tasting menu option, was well timed and prompt. They didn't leave us hanging, or give us a weird long pause between courses or drinks, and overall were very friendly and happy to guide us through the menu. If you're looking for something interesting but really tasty, I would happily suggest that Jun is worth a visit. I'm hopeful to return soon enough to try some more of the menu, a la carte. read more

Jun was delicious and lives up to the hype! We were huge fans of Evelyn on Top Chef so were excited to finally try her and Henry's restaurant. The ambiance inside is very nice and the service and food matches it. Service was paced well - we didn't feel rushed, but also weren't waiting around. Our server also provided great recommendations. For food, we started with the Gulf Shrimp Aguachile, which was excellent. I'm not normally a fan of raw food, but the broth was so delicious and all the ingredients worked so well together. Next was the Carrots. Again, I don't really like cooked carrots, but this was probably my favorite dish of the night. They had a great charred flavor, were cooked perfectly and paired well with the cheese and egg. For entrees, we had the Fried Chicken and Lamb Curry. Of course, both were awesome. The fried chicken was fried well and had a great batter and herbs and honey to compliment it. I don't normally like lamb either, but this dish was great too. The curry was just so good and the lamb fell off the bone. Overall, everything was just absolutely perfect. For drinks, I started with the Open Sesame and my husband had Ginger She Really Hot. Both were good, but I prefer cocktails where you can taste the alcohol a bit. I would have thought these were mocktails if I didn't know better. Next round, we opted for a glass of wine, which was a better choice. My only complaint of the night is that I wish they had a full bar instead of just sake based cocktails. read more

We've been looking forward to trying Jun ever since it opened. We were not disappointed. We started with the Gulf Shrimp which our server recommended. Definitely not something I would normally order but it was so good. Slightly spicy but the avocado helps balance it. For our main course we had a half order of the fried chicken, the lamb curry, and the carrots. The carrots might seem like a basic item but they were so good! Definitely one of our favorite dishes of the night. The lamb and fried chicken were also great. I wish they had more curry dishes though, the lamb was cooked perfectly but would love to switch it up a bit for next time. read more

I had heard a lot of talk about JŪN so I had to finally try it. If you want to go on the weekend, you need to make a reservation about two or three weeks out. The food was incredible. However, customer service needs some work. Our reservation was for 8:00 pm and we were not sat until 8:40.... I cannot say I have ever had such a late seating after a reservation time. Now onto why we came there - the food. I was pleased by how reasonably priced the menu was. We tried a lot of the menu items, and I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. The scallops and fried chicken were especially my favorites. The menu was very diverse with a heavy focus on seafood plates and some great sides. For drink, we also had a great bottle of wine, and I like that they offered a decanter to put it in. Overall, I will definitely be coming back! read more

Food was amazing. They only have sake cocktails here. They were all tasty and refreshing. The only thing I didn't like was that since we had a party of 6 we had to do family style and do a set menu. We actually ended up calculating the cost and it seemed like with the dishes we got from family style we overpaid by going this route vs ordering dishes straight from the menu. We enjoyed every dish we got. The flavors were on point. I used to love the food at her restaurant inside politan row so I'm excited that chef Evelyn opened up another restaurant finally! read more

Great ambiance, wine and beer only, no hard liquor, but their cocktails were creative and delicious. Food, creative and thought out, but all most every item was over seasoned ( too much salt). Shishito with anchovy butter. The anchovy butter was great, but its anchovies, so its salty, but then the shishitos had heavy salt too, so you got double salt. Oysters with beef tallow, sounds great on paper, think bone marrow like flavors with raw oysters, but the tallow was so strong, it overwhelmed the delicate oyster, also make the oyster warm, so the essence of a raw oyster was gone, maybe just grill the oyster? Would go back for the gulf shrimp aguachile, believe this was her winning from top chef dish, its good, and best of the night. Should you make it special destination, just a destination or skip? I'd make it a destination. read more

The restaurant is nice, but when busy it is quite loud. The service was very good and friendly. The food portions are small. We ordered the oysters 4/5, gulf shrimp 5/5, carrots 5/5, and the fried chicken 4/5. We ordered wine by the glass. Decent selection, but seemed a bit pricey. read more

The service was impeccable and I really enjoyed the Scarlett letter drink that my waiter recommended. The restaurant was beautiful but a little disappointed in the food. Enjoyed the flavor and seasoning but was overcooked. I'm sure if I come back on a not so busy day. Perhaps it would be different. read more

Came in, ordered some drinks and an appetizer... they forgot the appetizer. Later, we ordered two more appetizers and two entrees. One entree and one appetizer never came. We waited over an hour.. they forgot to put in. They said they had new people on the kitchen and it was "their fault". Went home hungry and very disappointed. read more

Jūn is a New Asian American restaurant from Chef Evelyn Garcia and Chef Henry Lu. The menu is diverse and has a little bit of everything. It has a peaceful ambiance and beautiful interior. They offer incredible and friendly service. If you're driving, they have a free private parking lot in the front. [COCKTAILS] +Open Sesame (sparkling junmai saké, toasted black sesame, lime, and yuzu tonic) for $15 - This cocktail was very refreshing and had a unique taste of sesame. As it's made with sake, it's quite light. I enjoyed it and would recommend trying it. - 4.5/5 [ZERO-PROOF COCKTAILS] +Ginger She Hot (agave blanco spirit, ginger, thai basil, lime, and sparkling water) for $12 - This mocktail tasted fresh like sparkling ginger, and I liked how cold it was. - 4/5 [FOOD] +Sweet Potato (labneh, walnuts, dill, and chives) for $10 - This was my favorite item on their food menu. The sweet potato sat on spread labneh. It was a really nice combination. - 4.5/5 +Oysters (fermented mango, pickled butter, and mignonette) for $12 - The fermented mango was a different topping I have never had on an oyster before. The oysters themselves looked like they were slightly seared, but they were still raw. Although served on ice, they felt like room temperature. These were interesting, and I would recommend trying them out at least once. - 4/5 +Fried Chicken (shrimp paste, ginger, thai chili, and herbs) for $23 (or $39 for a full chicken) - The fried chicken was good. I wish it had more flavor, but that's why they give you sauce to drizzle on it. You have to use a lot of sauce to taste anything though. The sauce is slightly spicy. For me, I need more flavor, but this may hit you differently. - 4/5 +House-Made Pickles for $6 - We were told this assortment of pickled items were good with the fried chicken. It comes with cauliflower, strawberries, and I believe... cucumber? The pickled strawberries were really interesting to bite into. It was still somewhat sweet like a strawberry, but juicy in a pickled way. - 4/5 Overall, I really liked Jūn and think it's a nice addition to the Heights collection of unique restaurants. The cocktails were great, and the exploration with the food items was excellent. It would be fun to try out their new items as they reinvent the menu as time goes on. I would recommend Jūn if you're in an adventurous mood! read more

We sat at the chef's counter that overseas the kitchen. Chef Evelyn was working the pass and the team seemed to really work well together. Had a couple of Sake based cocktails. Not sure if they are going to get their full liquor license, but they did a good job with the sake based ones we tried. The best dish of the night was the Gulf Shrimp Aguachile which was one that Chef Evelyn featured on Top Chef. Really tasty plump shrimp dressed in a spicy/tart aguachile that complemented the shrimp perfectly. We also had the Gem Lettuce Caesar which was very good. Our least favorite dish was the Carne Seca grits. Something was off with the texture, and the carne seca was not as flavorful as we thought it should be. Next time we'll probably try more of the vegetable options. We got two mains, the fried chicken and the whole fish. The Fried Chicken was just OK. Was expecting more flavor based on the menu description. The whole fish was excellent. The space was beautiful, and the service was excellent. Just a couple of dishes lacking flavor/seasoning kept Jun from receiving 5 stars. Will update after future visits if the rating changes. read more

Went to check out Jun finally and had a good time with a lateish dinner on a Saturday night. It's got a trendy vibe and it kind of shows a bit in a "we know we are good and hot" kind of way. Cocktails were really good and interesting and the appetisers were on point too. The shrimp is a must have, oysters solid. Then we shared a couple of veggie dishes which again were good but as we started to navigate the menu we didn't feel like we got too much help on how much to order or what to order. I'm never a big fan of when asking for an opinion, being told what is popular. I can see that on yelp! Anyway we go the carrots and eggplants, I wanted to order the cauliflower but we wanted mains and I was keen to check out the lamb curry and my wife the chicken. So we got them! Lamb was really tender and a big portion with it being a lamb shank. Super tender and sauce was great! Chicken was really well cooked and the honey sauce was amazing. So why only four stars? Couple of down points that just get to me when spending a fair chunk on dinner and it's that small stuff of feeling like you are being nickel and dimes a bit. Do you really need a $3 up charge for coconut rice with a $54 lamb curry? Do I just eat it with no rice? Or does it come with plain rice and coconut is extra? It it came with plain then it wasn't clear. I'm not paying $54 for lamb and sauce. Sorry. Speaking of sauce, I mentioned that it was a large portion but the amount of sauce wasn't a lot with it. So when it came to make a to go box, I said, any chance of some more curry sauce? Here comes that second upcharge... another $3! I know they have big vat of it, so not like it's being made from scratch. Overall nice place, good food but I know I'm being a bit of pedantic but those two things I mentioned just took a shine off the night. read more

This place really isn't worth the hype. It's very overpriced for what you get. When ordering the shrimp which was suggested as an appetizer for our party of four, the dish was approximately one tablespoon worth of food. When my husband asked for a Bombay and soda he was told they don't have a full bar, just specialty low abv cocktails where they focus on using fresh juice...! What?! The food was underwhelming. The group of us shared 7 menu items family style, none of them left an impression. Won't be returning and won't be recommending. read more

I went to Jun's wine and food pairing and had a great time! I was thoroughly impressed with the wine and really enjoyed some of the food while some was a little disappointing. The meal started out with the scallop crudo. This dish was incredible 5/5. The scallop was so fresh and the buttermilk foam complimented the dish very well. I would highly recommend, my favorite dish of the night. We then got the grilled prawn which was a little on the cold side and a little underwhelming. I would rate it 3/5. Then we had the charred cabbage. It was very interesting with the bitterness of the cabbage and the rho. I didn't love the dish so I would rate it 3/5. Next was the congee risotto- it was amazing. I would describe the flavors like a twice baked potato. It was hot and also had a creamy texture with the rice mixed in. 5/5 We had the beef tenderloin after. This dish was cold so it was not my favorite. I would say 3/5 Last was the cheesecake- that was delicious. It was very light tasting and had a good sauce to pair with it! I would rate it 4/5 The wine was all very solid throughout the meal. I am a very picky wine drinker and all of the whites were very light and not too sweet. All of the reds were delicious and not too heavy. The only wine I did not enjoy was the "communion wine " that they paired with the cheesecake. I will be back! read more

What an amazing find for us! That chicken is worth the trip alone and that shrimp dish. We managed to start with a fairly empty restaurant but by the time we left it wasn't really possible to have a conversation because it was so LOUD. Good drinks, good food, decent service. read more

WOW! Regardless of whether or not you're a Top Chef fan, I highly recommend Jūn. I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant to celebrate my friend's birthday, and I was so impressed. The level of service exceeded my expectations. The staff was knowledgeable and attentive. Most importantly, the food was incredible. Wonderful balance of flavors and you can tell that every component in each dish/drink was carefully thought through. If you are a Top Chef fan, you'll be happy to know that Chef Evelyn even manages the front of the house and will bring out your dishes and check on you at your table. She is just as lovely in person as she was on the show. It was an exciting moment for us to meet her. For drinks, we ordered the Thai One On, Open Sesame, and the Pink Drink. The pink drink was my favorite, but all were delicious, light, and refreshing. The open sesame in particular was a nice blend of sweet and savory. If you go, you MUST get the gulf shrimp (if you're a TC fan, you'll remember that Chef Evelyn won with this dish during the Texas Women Trailblazers episode). This aguachile dish was so beautiful, light, and full of flavor. We literally lifted the bowl and drank every drop of the broth. The carrots were another favorite. The char from the wok gives the dish that nice 'wok hei' that you find in a lot of Asian dishes. We also ordered the whole fish (branzino) and fried chicken. Again, highly recommend both. Both were so delicious. For dessert, we ordered the corn cake and the nuegados. Despite being incredibly full, we polished off both these desserts pretty easily. The menu is designed to be family style, so bring a friend and enjoy! We will definitely be back. read more

Insanely good. This meal was more than memorable and among the best I've ever had. Intrigued by the menu and honestly knowing a Top Chef finalist was one of two chefs at the helm, it was a must visit. And boy was I not disappointed! Let's start with physical restaurant itself. On a busy part of 20th Street, it offers its own parking for convenience. No schlepping through the neighborhood. You are greeted immediately as you enter with two very distinct areas inside, the bar and the dining room. Great arrangement if you are looking for a quiet meal at happy hour. And with the craft cocktails that's a big possibility. The dining room is thoughtfully appointed. I even saw chef take a seat a table to make sure some nearby greenery didn't interfere with your dining. From silverware rests to the dishes, great care was taken in the selection. Our meal was on another plane. We started with house pickles which featured cucumber and cauliflower. Both were balanced and the cucumber had a little heat and made for a great opening volley. Next courses included the carrots and the sweet potatoes. These are by no means ordinary. The carrots were charred and tender and on a bed of salty cheese. They were a delight. The sweet potato was even better. Soft and served over labneh (a type of strained yogurt) and topped with walnuts, dill and a fried sweet potato preparation, these hit all the notes, savory, sour sweet. Heavenly. Our mains tonight were their take on fried chicken and the lamb curry. The fried chicken coating was as light as a tempura but especially crunchy. The dip that accompanied it was sweet, salty and spicy. It all disappeared quickly. Please note that's their a full and half version. The two pieces on the half were more than adequate but so delicious, I would go whole chicken next time. The lamb shank and curry was fall off the bone tender and the curry, while billed as an ordinary curry was extraordinary. It packed a flavorful punch. Don't skip the desserts as they are epic too. I hesitated to order the brownie as that seems like a routine thing but I'm glad I did. It was light and crunchy. Accompanied by merange and citrus sauce, this just blew me away. We also had the chef's take on donuts, I wish I could remember the name, but I sure remember the taste. This is truly fine dining. read more

We REALLY, REALLY wanted to love this place, because we adore Chef Evelyn. We've been lucky to eat her food at various local popups, and she ALWAYS knocked it out of the park. Despite this, our first visit to Jun was underwhelming. The service was great, the atmosphere is great. While they don't (yet?) have a liquor license, we tried one of their sake-based cocktails (Open Sesame) and it was DELICIOUS (strongly recommend, even as someone who's not a huge sake fan). We started with their Peanuts, their Carrots, and the Gulf Shrimp Aguachile - all were super tasty, though we felt the balance was a LITTLE off with the aguachile and the carrots. We then had the Chinese Sausage dish and the Lamb Curry. They were both a little off with flavors - the Chinese Sausage was overly charred/burnt (and we love those flavors normally), and the Lamb was a bit too sour/out of balance. Kinda picking nits here, but overall just under what we were expecting, but we'd love to visit again! read more

Very spicy, very very different. A must try for Houstonians and guests. Wine is a must and an average wine shines with this eclectic food

Overall I liked this place and most dishes were a hit. That said the three major misses shouldn't be happening at a restaurant like this with these prices and make me feel this place is a bit sketchy: 1) Served me the incorrect glass of wine and when somebody at the table said "ok well can I just keep that" the waitress said "no I am going to serve it to the correct person" like what?? I'm pretty sure that is against health code violation... I even joked about drinking it. Very weird and makes me question this establishment 2) Brought the check then after they took the credit card they included gratuity in the charged amount. Basically the charged amount was $200 more than the amount we reviewed. 3) AC was not working so it was so uncomfortable but they never said it didn't work they would make excuses like "yes let me go turn it on" as the manager is sweating serving you room temp. Water Food: -I would skip the oysters they were gritty and flavor meh -gem lettuce salad delicious -beef tartare some of the best I've had -lamb curry delicious -whole fish good but not amazing -chocolate dessert delicious read more

We had a delightful dinner at Jun. It's a beautiful restaurant, and we opted to have dinner at the bar, which serves the full dinner menu. The bartender was super friendly and helped us with picking out great menu items. -Chinese sausage noodles: This dish was super delicious, with chunks of noodles and sausage and then topped with dressed arugula, which somehow made this fairly heavy dish seem somehow lighter. -Roasted carrots: I loved the carrots! I don't remember the sauce, but the entire side was just so good and flavorful. -Beef tartare: The beef tartare was just so flavorful and tasty, very good. -Chocolate dessert: Chocolate cake, toasted whip, grapefruit, just so many amazing elements. Just like the Chinese sausage noodles, they somehow made this decadent dessert seem somewhat lighter by adding charred grapefruit. read more

In all seriousness, Jun is just okay. It was nothing special, very overpriced, a bit pretentious, and over all just not worth the hype. Food: We ordered the oysters, beef tartar, carrots, cauliflower, whole fish, and a side of jasmine rice. It's was all okay. The cauliflower was pretty good (nothing like the famous cauliflower at Roost, but they have a Thai twist on most items so I get it) and the beef tartar was legit...but everything else was just way overpriced for the flavor and taste. Meh. Service: The service was friendly, but made it very clear you have to flaunt your money to get the absolute best service which is never fun. A bit dismissive with a "you're lucky to eat here" attitude but that's kinda the typical vibe at the very new and very hyped spots. They go ahead and include a kitchen tip on your bill which I thought was odd but whatever. Like I said, this place including the staff is just okay. Vibe: The vibe is cool and casual but upscale at the same time. Probably the best thing going for Jun IMO. Our table was super close to our neighbors who were two obnoxious tech bros so hearing a lot of their conversations sucked but we got through it. If the food and service could match the vibe this place would be special. Drinks: Can't really review this because we had wine and beer but the cocktails looked good and sounded interesting. Overall, it was just okay like I said. For $180 w/o a tip it just wasn't worth the time or money for us. Not sure we'll go back. read more

I found Jun to be just ok. It was most def more of a visually- stimulating experience for me than a culinary trip. The place is beautiful. It feels very serene and the service was great- friendly but not overly so. We had the house Garnache which was great. For food, we tried the aguachile- and while I understand the concept well, the shrimp still felt too underdone for my liking. The presentation was beautiful. Further, we had the sweet potato which was nice, I liked the char on it but I'm not dying for it again. Finally, we had the whole fish which was branzino that night- it was ok, there was flavor brushed on it but it didn't make me scream or anything. I'm willing to go back. I'm a big fan of Chef Ev and have been following her around the city at pop-ups all over. Let's go, Chef Ev! read more

Booked this place for a birthday on a Thursday night. The interior was inviting and cozy. Our server was fantastic. The restaurant specializes in coursing out their consumers entire meal. We decided to order a la carte. My partner & I have an issue over ordering however our server insisted we take off some items in which we agreed. We're grateful that she was mindful on the amount of food ordered rather than just allowing us to be stuffed for the sake of our tab being high. The Scarlett Letter cocktail was pretty good if you don't like your cocktails sweet. Onto the food, the oysters, beef tartar, and congee were our favorite. The oysters had the perfect amount of citrus. Beef tartar was beyond. The congee was perfect, it also had a poached egg. The vegetables were our least favorite. The carrots & green beans were underwhelming but not terrible we just had better for a bang for your buck. We were caught off guard that the green beans were served cold. The protein course we had mussels & fried chicken. We loved the mussels sauce. The chicken was so tender but I didn't like the honey glaze it was way too sweet. I loved how they gave towels for the finger foods. I'd definitely be back for another visit! Our server spoke highly of the head chefs & their staff members. I love supporting restaurants where workers appreciate their establishment! read more

Was intrigued by this place one day while driving by and made a reservation to try one night. Made a reservation for 8 but kept pushing back till 9 and they were so accommodating and nice about it. I thought maybe it wasn't crowded but when we got there late, the place was packed! The food was really delicious and had unique flavors. The only thing I didn't like was salmon - it tasted a bit fishy but my husband did finish it. I'll definitely be back to try more of their meat dishes next time!! read more

Jun - Tartare - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

I have visited Jun twice in the last 6 weeks. It's in a great spot in the heights that's near other bars, lounges, etc, but not so close to make traffic or parking an issue. It's kind of small but it the space is used very efficiently and is nicely decorated (scented as well). It has a wine/sake bar, I discovered on the second trip that they don't have spirits. That being said the cocktail I ordered was absolutely amazing (made with vodka inspired sake) and the wines I have tried were great as well. I haven't had the chance to do the tasting menus but had several dishes including; brisket, fried chicken, all the veggies, the ceviche, etc. Every single dish was well prepared and flavorful. A few of the highlights for me were the carrots, squash, chicken, brisket, and whole fish. I didn't taste the grits but my friend said they were excellent as well. Can't recall my servers names, but I received excellent service during both trips. The biggest surprise is the prices. Now I wouldn't call it inexpensive, but I will say it is the best value I've had in quite some time. 5 of us, several dishes, drinks, more food than we could eat, and it was still less than $100 a person. The tasting menu is only $85! Do yourself a favor and go now. And then again after that. read more

Amazing dinner a Mexican, Salvadoran, Asian fusion executed beautifully. Everything was well balanced and so fresh, stars of the show were the fried chicken and curry lamb shank... Pro tip: ask for some extra curry and a side of the coconut rice is a must! The aguachile was a small portion but so incredibly tasty m, I would order again. The only thing we ordered and didn't love were the carrots a little too charred and had too much of a bite to them - which surprised us because we have had their carrots before at the MKT sunset market before they owned the restaurant and loved them, so it could have been a bad batch. Either way I can't wait to go back. As for cocktails the sake cocktails were creative I had the open sesame and it was quite yummy. The michelada with fish sauce was also great but more of a brunch cocktail of course. read more

Incredible food - Jun's family style menu is the perfect opportunity for you to try most of the items on the menu. And no dish disappoints. The presentation and preparation of each dish is perfect with the best uniquely curated flavors and textures. Every bite was a journey! Truly, flavor masterminds! Incredible drinks - Their cocktails are so creative. There's a cocktail for various preferences, as well as a great wine list. These also do not disappoint. Incredible service - Jun's staff is knowledgeable and hospitable. From the host staff who works hard to beat accommodate every guest, the waiters who thoroughly guide you through the menu, the sommelier who is readily available for any wine questions, to the chefs and kitchen staff who clearly know what they're doing... And of course, Henry, co-owner of Jun, was making sure everything was just perfect. Incredible ambiance - Their decor was everything! The magical front door, the trendy layout (tables and bar area), the cute plate and utensils, the intimate lighting, the soft yet audible music, Evelyn and Henry promised greatness and they DELIVERED. read more

Jun - Brunch at Jun with gulf shrimp aguachile and oysters. - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

Dined on a Monday night with 4 people. First time for all of us here. - Good ambiance. - Had menu of fancy cocktails. I ordered my usual drink - vodka martini with a twist - and was told they don't have a full bar. Never been to a restaurant that can make a unique spin on a margarita, or a beet-sake-eggwhite cocktail (which was delicious), but not a simple martini. This was a bit weird to me. - Food was tasty especially the friend chicken, mussels, gem salad. Other items (including the popular carrots) were ok. - Service was off. When we pitched an order and asked if it would be enough food, he hesitated, chuckled, and said "I think it's probably enough." We were left thinking it might have been on the low side and that we can order more later... but it was actually WAY too much food. Which would have been find if the preparation wasn't very slow, and the coursing a bit odd. E.g. the cucumber side came out a full 1.5 hours after the order was placed... read more

We were finally able to come try Jun! It was such a great ambiance and I loved that they always had someone walking around to fill up waters. This was definitely a nicer more upscale experience than I expected. You are getting new plates and silverware after a few dishes and there is a som walking around if you need any help on pairing with your food. They do recommend for 2 people that you get about 5-6 dishes. The menu goes from very small plates to large plates that are shareable, tapas style. We tried the Fried Chicken as our main and WOW it's so goood with that honey Chile sauce and we paired with some rice on the side. The herbs on the chicken were a nice touch to the flavors. The Beef Tartare was something different but very good. To be honest we didn't know a lot of what we were eating but it was SO tasty! The shrimp Aguachile is cold and tastes so fresh! We found using the raddish on top as a vessel to eat it made it a little easier to get all of the shrimp and avocado and fried taro and the juice all in one bite. The only thing we weren't wild about were the carrots. They were a little too smoky for us, but the cheese mixed in is a must when you try this dish! All in all we're excited to come back and try the oysters, lamb curry and sweet potatoes since we've heard great things about those as well! read more

It was good we had a really good waitress she was super informative I can't remember her name but adorable face brown hair short . She was cute I like her a lot. She knew everything about everything. We were kind of having a rough night lol & she just did her job to the T kept everything flowing bomb loved her . The food was cool I'd say overall 7.5/10 . Was tasty nothing to complain about nothing to write home about either . The scallop crudo was good but it came as like a soup situation which i wasn't expecting it was like 3 scallops cut in half in a creamy soup lol no complaints I'd definitely order again just ...was interesting lol . read more

Went for our anniversary. They had a card in our table signed by the staff. That was very thoughtful. Food was amazing as you would expect nothing less from two Top Chef stars. A little pricey and this is a "foody" place so look at their menu. The shrimp and the ribs were our favorite. The Som also gave us a pairing for our menu selections. Will definitely go again. read more
