JUJU Restaurant Lounge in Penang

"We have a wonderful time family dining at JUJU and we really enjoyed our time with so delicious Mediterranean food with fresh penang seafood and combining with wines recommended by Chef CC. I will definitely come again."

"Not your traditional omakase - but rather a good flair of local and Mediterranean flavours together. Starters were great, particularly the tomato medley. A simple dish that was elevated with a chef’s touch. The seafoods were the highlight of the dinner, featuring local caught prawns and fresh octopus in squid ink. Had to minus one star for the salty steak bites, would have love for the last savoury dish to end on a high. Nevertheless the creme brûlée was an interesting take - not too sweet and flavours of the cinnamon sugar blended right in. Hopefully the menu rotates the next round we visit again!"

"DEFINITELY RETURNING Discovering the entrance of restaurant was an adventure in itself, the mysterious hallway opens up to a high-ceiling dining space - it was definitely different from any other space I have been to! The 10-course seafood omakase was a revelation, highlighting the freshest local seafood with minimal intervention. I was never a fan of squid, but JUJU’s perfectly tender preparation might have converted me. The fried wonton skin looks unassuming but trust me, it’s really a flavor bomb"

"Excellent, sublime and tantalising. Chef CC conjures cosmically creative cuisines with clever combinations and captivating culinary craftsmanship (alliteration unintended)! He uses the freshest of ingredients and allows them to sing in his dishes, highlighting their freshness and profound flavours. Everything is done meticulously and to perfection. Moreover, his wines are impeccably delectable and well-selected. Chef CC has built a reasonably priced restaurant that serves Penang’s finest."

"Great place to relax and have a wine with some great food. C.C is really knowledgeable in his craft and provides great service. Ingredients are locally sourced within Penang with some extending to Cameron Highlands. C.C puts a lot of focus into quality ingredients which makes his food taste exceptional. Really appreciate the hospitality and experience here!"

"Other than the first course where the buttercup salad veg were on the wilted side, the rest of the courses were excellent. The octopus was succulent and the catfish nicely smoked. The Argentinian steak was nicely charred and comparable to wagyu ."

"This was hands down the best 10-course meal I’ve ever had and the best dining experience in Penang so far! The chef combines Penang’s freshest ingredients with Mediterranean flair. Every dish was a work of art, bursting with fresh flavours. Don’t miss their expertly curated wine selection. The service was impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the food. The ambiance was elegant yet relaxed. This place is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return!"

"Get ready to be pleasantly surprised by the cozy setup, feel a bit hesitant as you walk passed the 'broken' mirrors, feel pampered by 1st class service, feel like you graduated from culinary school with the detailed explanation of ingredients & cooking styles, and enjoy all the tastes, smell & perfect combinations of the setting, food, wine & music! You'll want to come back for a different experience ecah time! Cheers!"
