Review summary

Juju in Cary holds a 4.4/5 rating on TripAdvisor. Food quality is generally praised, with shrimp, Brussels sprouts, and ramen highlighted, though some dishes are criticized for being overly fried, salty, or small-portioned. Menu changes have also disappointed regulars. Service is mixed: while many find staff friendly and attentive to allergies, others report rude hosts or rushed billing.
