If you're looking for absolutely delicious and eye-appealing Szechuan, this place is for you. Everything we ordered was out-of-this-world delicious. Do yourself a favor -- order the Szechuan dumplings and the shrimp dry pot. You're welcome. The only reason I did not give this five stars is that I was a bit disappointed because they advertised 10% off in celebration on the Chinese New Year but could not honor that because no one at the restaurant knew the code to enter into the register. And the code did not appear in the email we received announcing the discount. Nevertheless, still worth it! read more

We went as a group of 7 people on a Friday evening. The 5 spice wings were recommended and solid, the refills were well attended to... and it all went downhill from there. The group had General Tso Chicken, several orders of the Kung Pao Chicken, the Pork Belly & Pineapple Fried Rice, and Pepper Steak...no one was impressed. We also had several other appetizers. We weren't sure if times are difficult, but all the meats tasted frozen not fresh. The other appetizers also tasted just mediocre. We felt as a first time at this restaurant - "glad we tried it, doubt we'd go back". Which is sad, we'd heard good things - it just wasn't for us. read more

A friend picked this place and I went along for the ride. North loop area, so street parking. Didn't make reservations, just walked in and at at the bar. Bartender was super friendly, the space was nice, cool bar area too. Ordered wings, noodles and walnut shrimp and a couple cocktails. Food came out pretty quick and was so hot it burned my mouth and I like that lol. Everything was very delicious, I'm so glad we went and I will definitely be going back to try some other items on the menu! read more

Brought a visiting colleague here after it was recommended by ChatGPT for the best soup dumplings. My colleague and I have been to China recently. After having been to China and had xialongbao all over, the soup dumplings were tiny and had very little soup. I would suggest the restaurant revise the size of the dumplings and add more soup. Service was good, atmosphere good. The picture below is what they should emulate. read more

We had our annual Christmas dinner at Jun and enjoyed the food, and atmosphere. The service was slow and not very attentive, we are guessing the staff was ready to call it a night. Regardless, we appreciate JUN being open on Christmas Eve. read more

Great meal in a modern Asian location. I had a not so great meal at Jun years ago so wouldn't have gone back if a friend hadn't suggested it. Glad I did. The dishes had authentic flavors with freshly cooked ingredients and great textures. read more

I've only eaten here once, but it was enough to know that this is one of the best Chinese restaurants I've been to. From appetizers to mains, I was in heaven. Great wontons, Szechuan dumplings, Xiang La wings (which is very similar to the Chong Qing main), everything was perfect. This is my favorite type of cuisine from China, and its spicy, so perhaps it's not for everyone, but I was as happy as I could possibly be and can't wait to return in the near future. Staff too were friendly and helpful in making recommendations for friends. The inside decor is chill and quiet, so there is nothing anywhere near I was wishing for more while visiting. Kudos to the chefs and staff. Fantastic experience! read more

Tried Jun with a larger group of friends on a Friday evening. We made a reservation online but definitely didn't need to as there were plenty of tables. Parking (as always in this area) was a bit tricky. Our server was such a sweetheart and made excellent recommendations. We ordered a bunch of dishes and shared family style. My favorites: - Spicy Ma Po Tofu -- the standout of the night. The sauce was so delicious! Though it wasn't super spicy, it definitely is one of the top ma po tofus I've had in the Twin Cities. - Shanghai Xiao Long Bao -- perfectly sized, delicious soup dumplings! Definitely will skip next time: - Pork BBQ buns -- the bun was way too dry and crumbly and the sauce on the pork was a little too sweet. - Crispy Sesame Beef -- this seemed a little overcooked. The beef was pretty chewy. - Cocktails -- the ones we had were a little too sweet read more

Super good I got the cream cheese wontons and even with such a simple dish in the breading was just incredible. The inside was so blazing hot but it's just so good and the sauce is really warming. Maybe I'm just losing my mind but this is some of the best cream cheese wonton I've ever had incredible service too. read more

The service was great, but the food was really just so-so. It's the North Loop, if a restaurant has wide open reservations and/or no wait at the door...that kind of speaks for itself. Figured we would try it regardless! But for the price, you're better off grabbing take-out from any random spot in the cities in my opinion. read more

I want to like Jun but the food is not prepared well. I have eaten good Chinese food for 30 years and this ain't it. It's overseasoned and unhealthy. My body reluctantly processes it, to paint a picture. It's not even a cheat meal -- it's worse. The service is wonderful, the ambience is great, but the head chef is not trained to make this food, or train others to make it either. Perhaps the ingredients are not kept well either. Other than that, it has potential. read more

We went to JUN on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn't busy by any means, but the 1 waiter I saw was doing all the things. Waiting tables, cleaning, bartending, etc. He was great for having a lot of work to do. Ambiance was moody. The food was really great! Our server recommended several popular dishes & gave clear descriptions of what to expect. Szechuan dumplings are a MUST. read more

Our server was very nice and was very responsive. But the food was swimming in chili pepper oil making every dish taste the same. The excess oil and made the dishes and the table greasy and a big mess. There were 6 cooks working the line., 4 out of 6 were eating wings while they cooking and set up plates for expediting. I watch 1 cook eat his wings, walk behind the bar to get a beverage and go back to the line. No hand washing. Our plates were chipped as also were many of the tables. They need to make some upgrades and replace tired and worn out assets. I was looking forward to our dinner at Jun. It had been a few years since we dined here and I remember a bustling restaurant with a good energy and great food. That was not my experience last night. read more

The girl was really nice who greeted us and then she was also our waitress. She recommended the chong qing spicy chicken so we ordered it. It was fried which the menu didn't state. The onions were basically raw and made up the majority of the dish. The chicken was mostly breading and skin, little chicken to speak of. We had already had dinner and were still a little hungry so we tried this out. $30 out the door ($22+tax and tip and $1 parking) and it was definitely not worth it. The water was delicious though. read more

Good solid Chinese restaurant. Service was good. But then it wasn't that busy. Food was okay. We were disappointed in the duck. We have had duck in China (lives there for 8 years) this was not even close. read more

First of all, Danny our server provided excellent service. We ordered our food family style. Food came out one by one in a timely manner & tasted fantastic. Wasn't too hot but was warm for a lasting amount of time. The pepper steak was fantastic as well as their MaiTai (I had 2). I would recommend for anyone looking to expand their palette in the North Loop! read more

JUN - Potstickers - Szechuan Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Quick review 4/5 Xiang La Wings- yummy, savory, good spicy kick. I would order this again. 3/5 Sesame chicken- pretty similar to anywhere else you'd order this. Wouldn't order again. 3/5 Pork belly and Pineapple fried rice- pineapple wasn't sweet, rice was not cooked all the way (a lot of crunch). They did remake the order. Pork belly is chopped up pink bbq pork, not my idea of pork belly. Would order again if craving fried rice, otherwise, I would pass. 3.5/5 Szechuan dumplings- they were not bad, but there was one that I couldn't split with my fork... and then I couldn't bite through it while chewing lol. You get 6. I would order this again. Waiter is very helpful and straight to the point with menu questions. It's a nice intimate environment for good conversation. read more

The worst taste as far as Chinese food goes. I ordered 3 dishes, all were tiny potion for about $20 - $25 per dish. The dishes were full of salt as if someone just poured salt bottle into it. The shimp size are so small it is barely seen in the noodle. It feels like someone's first day cooking. Not recommended. read more

I was glad to see that JUN reopened after it closed down. I enjoy Asian cuisine food and like the assortment of options JUN has to offer. One day I had dinner here with friends. I was in the mood for a wholesome meal on a cold winter Friday evening. After walking from Snack Bar and Borough down the block, which were booked up, we were happy to find some opening at JUN. We ordered egg rolls to share. I had some green tea to start. Then I enjoyed some Wonton soup to warm me up. I also enjoyed the Chinese Broccoli. I definitely kept it lean because it was already late and I didn't want to feel guilty about bad choices when I could do better. Overall nice ambience and quick service. read more

Trendy, but just average and a bit pricey. The person that waited on our table was AWESOME. I can find better Szechuan food elsewhere for less. I am sure the people uses are high due to the cost of being downtown in a trendy neighborhood. Husband had Tso Chicken. The breading was so thick. I ordered the BBQ Bao. Little to no filling and it tasted like bottled bbq sauce. read more

Cannot say it's authentic Chinese food but fusion in America. Some dishes have been modified in a healthy way comparing to Chinese food in China town in any big city. Love the decor which is also unusual for Chinese restaurants. There was only one guy serving both in room dining and take out on a Sunday evening but he was running around helping inside and out, sweaty the whole time. Kudos to the hardworking soul! read more

I pass by Jun pretty frequently. So I finally decided to give it a try. I was sat at the bar, since I was by myself (lowkey cries). The bartender greeted me and informed me of their every day freshly made noodles and dumplings. She specifically reccomended the Szechuan Dumplings and Xiang La Wings. I ordered the Szechuan Dumplings, Spicy Szechuan Beef Noodle Soup, and Xiao Long Bao. The Szechuan Dumplings came out first. They were damn good. The dumpling skin layer has a good bite to it. The filings were meaty with a slight herby flavor (from chives?). The chilli oil sauce was delicious; sweet, salty, slight acidic, and aromatic. Next came the Spicy Szechuan Beef Noodle Soup. Geez, the bowl was pretty big, and that's a good thing. The noodles and beef definitely were the star of this bowl. The noodles were thick and cooked al dente, they had a good bite to them. The beef were almost fall apart, but still holds it shape. The broth? It was okay. I wouldn't say it was bland, but it was more on the subtle side. Don't get me wrong, it was beefy and aromatic, but again just more on the subtle side. I'm confused on why it's called spicy and has the chilli symbol next to it, as it had no kind of spiciness to it at all. I dipped the noodles in the Szechuan Dumpling chilli oil sauce, and boy, that was hitting the spot. Last came the Xiao Long Bao (a quantity of 6). It was alright. Each soup dumpling had little soup. The pork flavor was there. But... it just tasted like every other mediocre Xiao Long Bao. I hate to assume... but these didn't seem freshly made (check my photo and compare it to others' photos). I'd skip on these. I had the Jun Old Fashioned and Spring Equinox. I'm not a cocktail expert, but the drinks were decent. Overall, Jun was pretty good. The highlight was definitely the Szechuan Dumplings, then the Beef Noodle. I like the ambience. The service was nice. The food was decent and good. I appreciate how the noodles and (some?) dumplings are made fresh everyday. Rating: 3.5/5 read more

My daughter told me about this place and when I had an opportunity to visit, her and I dined here and what an amazing place.

Such a great experience!!!! The owner is incredibly kind and she made our dinner so special. Go visit them! Order dumplings!

Stopped by for dinner and everything was a hit! The cocktail menu has some unique offerings. Ordered the Lychee Dream and the Shelter Island. Would recommend both. The Lychee was bright and flavorful. The Shelter Island was crisp and refreshing. Shared our entrees- the Szechuan dumplings, the Szechuan green beans, and house specialty farmer's chicken. The Szechuan dumplings were to die for! They put potstickers to shame- you must order these when you visit. Melt in your mouth sticky flavorful dumplings. The Szechuan green beans were nicely garlic flavored and not greasy; also a stand out. The farmer's chicken has great flavor and nice heat with Thai chilies and sweet soy chili sauce. It gave a nice little mouth burn. The open kitchen allows you sight line to all the great cooking. Our server was excellent and did not rush us at all- despite our initial focus on chatting instead of ordering. I highly recommend you give JUN a try- great spot for a friend meet up or a date. read more

So glad we found this place! Great friendly staff. Hip vibe. We had looked all over the twin cities for soup dumplings and glad we finally came here. Great eggs rolls. Soup dumplings (xlb) and Szechuan dumplings were so good. Most of which on happy hour. Sake sampler fun too ! read more

So the memory of this place was that the air conditioning wasn't working on a really hot and humid day. The crispy duck was great. It looks like it is over cooked at first , but don't let the appearance affect you. The taste of my chicken dish was nice, but it was so heavy with onions. The ratio just seemed off. read more

Wayyy over priced for the quality of the food. Do your self a savor and just skip this place if you're looking for flavorful Chinese food. The server was very nice so that was a plus. Very cool decor but the place was dead. There was absolutely nobody else eating in there and we were there from about 4:00-5:30 for dinner. Wouldn't go back unless they changed the entire menu! read more

To start off the hostess was rude and reluctant to seat us. She would not look us in the eye and did not acknowledge us when we first came in. Then we were served RAW semi frozen siu mai. when we brought it up to the waiter and kitchen, they were very bothered by our complaint. They did not apologize nor did they take it off the receipt. Our server just took it back to the kitchen and we didn't get an update. We got the beef Szechuan noodle soup next and they were pretty bland. I would not recommend this restaurant. The prices are outrageous for the quality of food. We still ended up paying for the dumplings despite the raw pork and not finishing it. Made the ambiance very unwelcoming and uncomfortable. beautiful interior read more

Please order the dumplings. They were so good! I especially liked the chili sauce it was served in. It wasn't an overpowering sauce, it was light but still had a little kick of spice! The fried rice was also a favorite of the table. The rice was visibly fried and was accompanied by shrimp and chicken! We ordered the Xinjiang Beef per the waiter's request. It was good, but a bit overpowering. I loved the first bite, but it felt a little overwhelming as I got half way through the dish. The dish has cumin in it... which is unique because that spice is most commonly associated with taco seasoning. Don't worry, it didn't taste like tacos though! It's a little expensive, and located in a premium spot. It's not quite worth the trip because of all the other better restaurants near by. read more

I'm sucker for anything served in chili oil. So I had high expectations for the Szechuan dumplings. They did not disappoint! Five stars. The black mushroom and bok choy is good, but too saucy on the mushroom side and no seasoning on the bok choy side (see pic). The Shanghai wonton soup is flavorful, but the wonton seem like they've been chillin' in the soup for too long. This was a delivery order. So I can't speak to the service or decor, but every dish arrived hot and it arrived quickly for a Saturday night. Three stars because the food is good/alright, but not amazing enough to justify the NYC prices. read more

Had an unfortunate dining experience here. Nice place, was totally dead on a Sunday night so the hostess was the waitress. She was really nice, but we took her recommendation for a spicy Szechwan chicken dish and it was all fried breading and onions with a side of rice.

Uffda. I was craving dim sum, so I did a quick Yelp search, came across JUN and figured I'd give it a shot. Best. Decision. Ever. We ordered their Szechuan dumplings, Szechuan beef noodle soup, and pork bao. They all blew us away. The dumplings were so flavorful, and the Szechuan oil they come in is so delicious it took all my willpower to keep from drinking it like soup afterward. The bao were cooked perfectly - equally flavorful, though not as mind-blowing as the dumplings, they were well worth the $12. The soup was arguably the best decision of all. Everything was obviously house-made with care. The beef was tender, flavorful and fatty. The broth wasn't as flavorful as the other dishes, but it was still fantastic comfort food and tasty nonetheless. The noodles? Damn. So good. The only bummer of the meal was the sesame balls. They looked great, but they weren't the best I've had. They were obviously made fresh, but the filling was grainy and not very flavorful. They came with honey to dip, though, so that helped! Service was great, food was delish, and I'd definitely head back again :) read more
