I got the General Tso’s chicken and couldn’t believe it was gluten free. I was pleased by the amount of GF desserts too. I did not get sick from eating here and the staff was really kind.

Food here is amazing! They will let you know if the fryer is being used for gluten that night, and if so they will hand out a celiac menu. 10000% recommend

New edit: (4/27/23): we ate here last night for takeout and I got sick from it. I discovered that the "gf no farro" mushroom and bok choy that we ordered had a farro bean in it. Do not recommend anymore, unfortunately. Maybe for specific things, but even that I'm not sure I can recommend.

The food was incredible! I may have gotten sick because our waiter contradicted the menu and said the general tsos was fried in a different oil. I am willing to try this place again, because I also had a different restaurant that may have made me sick. So, it wasn't clear.

Ju Ju has phenomenal food and the service was just as great. The gluten-free items are clearly marked on the menu. I will have this restaurant on my “favorites “!

We had a very positive experience at JuJu for dinner last night. The bartender/server was very well informed about what was/wasn’t GF and had a good understanding of Celiac disease.

The fryer is not dedicated so that limited some choices, but overall there were a lot of options from nearly each section of the menu. I had no reaction and felt very comfortable!

Increíble Asian food! About half the menu can be made gluten free- including egg rolls and kung pao chicken! The fried rice is some of the best I’ve ever had.

Fantastic!!! All 3 of us really enjoyed our meals. Lots of vegan and gluten free options, none of which compromised on flavor. The lettuce wraps we great, and they had tofu, actually my favorite tofu sushi have had! The sauce in the scallops was incredible and the scallops were perfectly cooked. We used the sauce from the scallops and mixed in with the General Tso chicken, so good!!

The food was delicious and service excellent.Fortunately I told them I was a celiac and they brought me a celiac menu. It was a little confusing because the main menu marked many items gf but the celiac menu was very different and limited due to fryer cross contamination. Had the spring rolls, cucumbers and a scallop plate, as well as Pots de Creme for dessert.

I ordered takeout and got the general tso’s chicken and the leek fried rice. All items are labeled on the online menu; I called to make sure and the person I spoke with double-checked with the kitchen that the items I ordered could be made gluten free. The receipt was labeled and there was no extra charge for making items gluten free. Both dishes were delicious; I was nervous when I got them because they looked and tasted too good to be gluten free, but I haven’t gotten sick. Highly recommend!

out of a host of interesting menu items that could easily be made GF, Juju offers maybe five less interesting GF options. that's ok: ID give them points for even such a half hearted effort -- but SOME OF THE ITEMS JUJU LABELS AS GF ARE *NOT* ACTUALLY GLUTEN FREE, but instead fried in a fryer in which wheat is present! false GF labeling of this sort is worse than no labeling at all. it is a despicable practice that can easily harm anyone with celiac.
