About Jumon
Plant-based Asian fusion in the heart of St George's Market, and the kitchen is doing something genuinely different from anything else in Belfast. The format is small plates built for sharing, with portions generous enough that two dishes and a main feeds two adults without much debate. The vegan and vegetarian cooking draws the crowds, but meat-eaters consistently report being caught off guard by how much they enjoy it. Dan dan noodles are the dish people keep talking about, followed closely by the cauliflower, the laksa, and the cigar rolls. The spicy margarita is the cocktail to order — reviewers confirm it earns the name. Art covers the walls, a steady beat runs under the room, and the sound level sits at exactly the right pitch for conversation.
Jumon is one of those places where the dessert menu is not an afterthought — a detail regulars tend to mention first.
In the last 90 days, Jumon has drawn 34 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
What Stands Out
Dan dan noodles and fried cauliflower
Reviewers describe the dan dan as 'the best plate of food I had this year' and 'an explosion of flavours'; the fried cauliflower (JFK) is a signature that appears across multiple reviews.
Attentive, engaged service
Multiple recent reviews praise staff by name for being 'lovely', 'attentive', and 'superb front of house'; one reviewer noted 'excellent service' even during a busy Tuesday.
Desserts worth ordering multiples of
Reviewers single out the dark moon and ice cream served in green glass as 'very rich and delightful' and 'worth ordering multiples of so everyone can let their spoon guide them between each one'.
