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.

I'm a total foodie and I've lived in Paris and New York. Jujube could be located in a much larger city and still crush the competition. Their food is mouth watering and creative. Charlie is a fantastic owner who really seems to care about his customers. I can't say enough great things about this place!

As a vegetarian, I am always on the lookout for restaurants that have meatless entrees that have been created from the ground up as opposed to having to subtract the meat from one. The Soy section of the menu gave me hope and the execution left me wanting more. Our server was knowledgeable and prompt. Our table was offered some privacy by the hanging curtains between our table and the next. My girlfriend and I felt that we really lucked out and will definitely be back.

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!
