Lobster pasta---one of the entrées on that day's $29 prix fixe menu |
JJ Bistro and French Pastry is a reasonably priced French restaurant in Kaimuki. The evening coincided with the expiration of a Groupon promotion; the restaurant was packed, and I had to park across the street. Nevertheless, we were seated within 15 minutes.

We had to wait for the waitress to take our order, but after she did so the dishes arrived promptly. The salad greens were very fresh, and none of the appetizers or entrées--even those with cream--had a heavy touch.
Desserts are selected from the counter near the entrance (JJ has a thriving take-out business). We made our selection, which was taken home to be enjoyed the next day.
JJ Bistro has become one of our essential stops due to a family member's fondness for their pastry. O, the sacrifices we make for love. © 2013 Stephen Yuen
