I recently had Juju Cafe cater for my wife's birthday, and I just have to share how fantastic the experience was! They brought us onigiris with flavors like kani/avocado, buttermilk chicken, and egg/spam, plus two big trays of kimbap filled with fishcake, veggies, and avocado/cucumber. Let me tell you, the food was a massive hit. People were going back for seconds and thirds, especially for the onigiris. Even the kids couldn't get enough of both the onigiris and kimbap.The team at Juju Cafe was also super helpful and responsive, making the whole coordination process a breeze. I'm really thankful for the great food and service they provided. It made my wife's birthday that much more special. Thanks a ton, Juju Cafe!Highly recommend them if you're looking to cater your next event.

This was a nice little spot located in the downtown Brooklyn area. I will say they get a lot of business from students in the area. I was excited to find a place that made sushi burritos so, I ordered 1 Spicy Tuna Poke Burrito and 1 Shrimp Tempura Rice Rito. The Spicy Tuna Poke Burrito had plenty of stuff on it but barely any actual Tuna. The Shrimp Tempura Rice Rito was mostly fried batter without shrimp in it but thank God they add crab sticks on this item otherwise it's a complete waste of money.These items or too pricey not to put enough Tuna and Shrimp in them. In addition to this the amount of rice used is an overkill and fools you to believe you have a hearty sushi burrito and rice Rito food items.Please workers/owners stuff these items with more meat and make with less rice. I could see the possibilities of these items being great menu options if they add more meat and use less rice. So please don't be fooled by the size of them because they use too much rice when making these items. Last but not least I hope they really pulled the small bags of shrimp chips off their shelves after I brought it to the cashier's attention that they have expired dates of September 2023 and it's now December 2023/soon will be 2024. Despite this I wouldn't say don't go here. The workers were really nice and you have to keep in mind it is not an actual Sushi Restaurant. This place is more like a neighborhood deli type place that sells some sushi menu items (includes finger foods and quick bites). I will try something different or make specific food request if they can accommodate this should I go back. Be sure to look at item expiration dates before purchasing and maybe buy something like a bubble drink or try another menu item.

I ordered a mango milk bubble tea, there’s barely any mango flavor. The avocado kani rice ball is good. Will go back for the food but not the bubble tea, there’re plenty of cha spots.

really good and hot onigiri here had the spicy salmon mayo and was a banger. Little pricey for five bucks but huge for an onigiri. Surprise to see this Japanese deli. that's a curbed version of a larger Japanese grocery market

Love juju's rice balls and plates, and especially love that they are hot and made to order. My favs are the salmon and the radish/shiitake. My only gripe is that they aren't open on Sundays .

Amazing rice balls - especially the tochi and shrimp tempura. Also have a nice variety of snacks and drinks. Perfect for a quick lunch/dinner

Juju’s is one of my favorite lunch spots in all of Brooklyn! I love it so much. Their bubble tea is really good (make sure to get it 50 percent sugar unless you love super sweet tea) and the onigiri is so so so so good! They have an unbelievable amount of flavors and chicken teriyaki is my favorite. I typically get passion fruit bubble tea but that is just me and I would suggest to try some of there more exotic flavors. This place is good for lunch but it also has a lot of imported items like ramune and shrimp chips. They also have boba kits. The vibe is amazing and the servers are super nice. This is a great deli and convenience store!!

Juju Cafe has the best rice balls I’ve had in NYC - way better than Yaya’s in my opinion! Rice balls typically range from $4-6, which isn’t terrible if you just want a quick bite. I love that this place also sells Asian snacks and drinks :)
