Dishes, from dim sum to noodles and more, are modern renditions of classic Asian flavors interpreted for today's savvy diner. Wither dining at Jujube's communal table, the dine-at counter overlooking the kitchen, or the patio, Chef Deal's restaurant offers one of the most unique experiences in the area.
During the 90s, Chef Charlie Deal made a name for himself on the West Coast with his fresh take on seasonal fare at the Bistro Oswald and for his inventive Asian street food at his signature eatery, Charlie Hong Kong. In 2005, he brought that modern sensibility to Asian food in the Triangle, opening Jujube in December to immediate acclaim. |
