Editorial Review for Jujube – by Alex Leviton
The Scene
In the nondescript Glen Lennox strip mall along Highway 54 hides this sophisticated getaway. On one side, sleek armless chairs surround cozy tables placed neatly amidst red-orange, olive green and brick walls and a semi-private table with a gold Buddha. Or choose open kitchen bar seating for a front-row view to the chef's creations. Both sides come with whimsical photography from Shanghai and a Asian jazz trance background soundtrack.
The Food
Chef and owner Charlie Deal combines years of experience in California cuisine with a taste for the East to create updated authentic Asian. The menu is divided into no less than 10 categories of three dozen small plates and mains. Start with sweet shaoxing shiitakes--richly hearty--or potato fritters with black vinegar plum sauce, which come crisply fried outside, sumptuously juicy inside. Try the seared sea scallops for a harmonizing balance between mint and ginger tanginess.

Our first visit to Jujube won't be our last. The wonton soup was delicious, and the teas are quite nice. Creme brulee was the best I have had in the triangle thus far. Our server was very polite and attentive. We walked in a busy Saturday evening, were seated with minimal wait time, and the food came out promptly after order. Way to go, Jujube!

We have been to JuJebes several times and it is our new favorite place in Chapel Hill. The short rib wontons are to die for! We can't come to the resturant without ordering these wonderful things. Sitting at the bar can be a bit warm but its the best seat in the house and the chef is really nice and engaging with our questions and comments. Love this Place!
Pros: Great food and service
Cons: A bit noisy, but what place in the triangle isn't?
