Juju Orlando – Japanese Kappo Omakase & Izakaya, MICHELIN Recognized

Juju – Japanese Kappo & Izakaya in Orlando

At 700 Maguire Boulevard in Orlando, Juju brings a dual dining experience rooted in Japanese tradition. The restaurant is recognized by the MICHELIN Guide, a nod to its focused, ingredient-driven approach.

The heart of Juju is the Kappo Bar, where an omakase menu unfolds course by course. Kappo is a style of Japanese cooking that emphasizes seasonal ingredients and precise technique, with the chef preparing each dish in front of the guest. It is an intimate, counter-only experience that rewards attention and trust.

Across the room, the Izakaya Dining Room offers a more casual, walk-in setting. Here the focus shifts to Japanese charcoal-fired dishes, grilled over binchotan. The izakaya menu is designed for sharing, pairing naturally with Japanese craft cocktails.

Walk-in hours for the izakaya run Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday from 5:30 PM to 10 PM, and Friday and Saturday until 11 PM. Reservations are available for the Kappo Bar.

Juju’s Japanese cuisine is both a craft and a ritual—whether you sit at the counter for omakase or settle into the izakaya for grilled skewers and a cocktail, the experience is direct, unhurried, and grounded in the cooking itself.
