Food was average. Drinks were very delicious. I had the green apple green tea. It was on point. The restaurant was spotless and the staff was very friendly

Awesome food, great service, and the chow mein was full of flavor and huge portion. Well worth the price. Even the shrimp Kung Pao was spot on. My new favorite Chinese restaurant. 😍

What a hidden gem! So friggin tasty. Whenever Im out here I drop in and get singing because its amazing. Easily the best most crispy orange chicken Ive ever had anywhere. Ive had Chinese food in new York, Boston, and all over various corners of country. The orange chicken here wins!

Got the Spicy Garlic Pork (p2 I think?), the Sesame chicken, and the garlic stir fried green beans. Was very good, a little pricey since I got it at dinner time but it was two meals for me and my partner!

I’ve been in California for 4 years originally from NY and this is the only spot that the BBQ pork fried rice makes me feel like at home. It’s so good.

The almond chicken is really good, as is the chow mein. The flavor and quality is consistent, service varies.

Tried this place for the first time today. Must say my experience was pretty positive. Needed a quick bite to go. Ordered chicken cow mein dinner, shrimp fried rice and another side of chow mein. Everything was still hot 20 minutes later when I was finally able to eat.My only thing was I felt like it was a couple bucks over priced for what I received but the flavour almost makes up for that.Would definitely recommend this place as ill be returning to try other menu items!

Darn good Chinese food!Of course I would give them five stars, but this is not a white linen tablecloth sort of a place. Its a great family restaurant!I can tell you they are doing a bumping take out business. Be sure your there before 8: 30pm when they close, or youll be sorely disappointed.

Weve been going here since they opened & probably go a little too often haha Their orange chicken is phenomenal! We always get the orange chicken with fried rice & beef chow mein. Chow mein is yum-o! The staff are always friendly & orders are made quick. Although I havent tried alot of the other items, Im sure theyre good too. Were creatures of habit so I cant say for sure, though I always vow to next time. Besides, how many places give you you a free cookie with a fortune at the end of your meal?!😂 Visiting Ojai or live here, this place is yummy!

Good American style Chinese food. Fast friendly clean. Counter service only. Ojai prices. Second time review: both my food (Szechuan pork) and my wifes (mooshu veggies) were so incredibly salty as to be unedible. My 7 year old likes the teriyaki chicken which I agree is fine/good.

This is the only Chinese takeout around and Im a big fan of the hot sour soup and spicy eggplant with hot garlic sauce. Its the only dish I order. Since the overhaul the place is clean and seems efficiently run.. Its perfect for us locals.

-Veggie tofu soup decent. The little fried wontons were stale. -Plain fried ok. -Steamed rice good.-Egg rolls: would not order again. -Veggie fried dumplings: would not order again-Spicy popcorn chicken: super super super salty! Meat quality, very poor: Would not order again.

The quality at AJs Chinese is excellent, many of the Asian boarding students of Ojai come here for a taste of home. I would say it is the best and most authentic Chinese food in all of Ojai. This place also offers delicious Boba green tea drinks. The only problem is the price, this place is pretty expensive so it may break the bank.

About average. I had the chicken curry. Lots of fresh vegetables while a little more sauce would have made it a lot better.

Bad....horrible....MSG filled...miserable...tasteless. Sorry, but been a while since Ive had such bad Chinese food. Think it was probably in the London suburbs in around 1992. Or, maybe we just ordered really badly...
