Writing in Condé Nast Traveler, reviewer Jenna Scatena wrote, "The intimate, Eastern-inspired design can make even the most anxious diner feel zen, while the small (12-seat!) sushi bar makes for a cozy dining experience", and "Give over all your trust to the chef; you'll be thankful that you did."

In SF Weekly, reviewer Peter Lawrence Kane wrote, "A fat pile of ikura (salmon roe) marinated in soy sauce, sake, and honey and slathered with shaved ankimo (monkfish liver, the foie gras of the sea) that's stored in a "super-freezer" to keep it chilled far below zero was by far the highlight of my night, made more so by the admonition to eat it right away, in one bite."

The Zagat restaurant reviews website describes Ju-Ni as an "upscale omakase bistro serving a spendy set menu of chef’s choice sushi that’s updated regularly and features ingredients imported from Tokyo (plus a few drinks)."

Restaurant critic Michael Bauer wrote in the San Francisco Chronicle that "Ju-ni is a fascinating lesson in the precision needed to raise a piece of fish, a pad of rice and a few seasonings to ethereal heights."
