Pretty good, exactly how I expected it to taste. Came a little late on DoorDash but was still piping hot. General Tso chicken taste like bland orange chicken but it was still somewhat tasty. The fried rice was great and the bao buns were a little wet but still delicious. Won ton soup was full of fresh vegetables but the broth lacked taste. I’m still giving them 4 stars because everything was really cheap and this place is a great bang for your buck. Would I go back, probably not but it served it’s purpose.

I had the vegetable egg foo young. It was ok, but the gravey they give you to put on the egg foo young was really tasty so it took the dish up a notch. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of food they give with their combination meals. The prices are really reasonable. The visual of this place is not the best. The lady that took my order was nice and courtesy. I would definitely go back just to try some of there other dishes and I would oder the egg foo young again probably next Ill try their chicken egg foo young.

This is one of my go to places and I GrubHub here when I can. You can get fried rice in pretty hearty portions which is always great when youre really craving it.

Recently moved to Signal Hill, needed a Chinese food fix. My prior local was Chens. Ordered Aloha $10 Fried Rice and $10 Beef w Garlic. Fried rice, ordinary, its like regular steamed rice w some items thrown in. Beef is OK, definitely not made w the love Ive experienced elsewhere. Bottom line: OK in an emergency.Update: just got done, refrying the fired rice leftovers! Ha! Much better. See last picture. Guys at JJ, please up your game.

The food here was fabulous! They made it fresh once I placed the order. I chose JJs of all the Chinese restaurants in the area because they had egg foo young and I have not had that in ages so it was fabulous. I got the house of young and it had whole shrimps in it🍤. Almost one in every bite, seriously!

We literally order here once or twice a month. Service is super fast and consistent. The orange chicken is bomb, and the best we’ve had in the area. Decent prices too!

I took out 4 different food today. One of them was Wor Wonton soup which had dumpling, chicken breast and vegetables in it.When I tried the dumpling, it had a smell like going bad. I couldnt have the soup. But I enjoyed the orange chicken, beef broccoli and fried rice.I wanted to let the restaurant know about the dumpling quality in the soup. When I explained my situation, the owner or employee told me that she never got a complain about their food for 10 years. She never said sorry. She tried to accuse a customer for calling them about the quality of the dumpling. I guess this was my first and last time to use JJ Chines Express. By the way, please swipe the dust on the chairs for waiting customers. It takes only a minute to do so.

Delicious food at very inexpensive prices. Actually, the food here is better than a lot of fine sit down restaurants. Not much atmosphere but great free delivery (within 3 miles and with a minimum order of $15). I order frequently and am never disappointed. Oh, the portions are huge. A great little restaurant with very fresh food!

Decent reviews and bao on the menu, which I love and isnt very common, led me to try JJ. The bao was excellent, which is fortunate because almost everything else was seriously disappointing. The first clue that the food would not be as expected was the large (8-10 oz) container of sweet and sour sauce on the side instead of on the sweet and sour shrimp Id ordered. Then I opened the container Id expected to find full of sauceless sweet and sour shrimp and found that all that it contained was 10 over battered and under fried shrimp (its not just the egg rolls they undercook). No pineapple, onion, bell pepper, maybe some carrots combo, just fried shrimp. The lack of vegetables turned out to be a theme. The only veggies in the bag at all turned out to be the bed of shredded cabbage under the pot stickers, which the worst Ive ever had. They were unseasoned lumps of mashed meat wrapped in unseasoned dough apparently meant to take all of their flavor from the overly sweet dipping sauce. The egg drop soup was broth, egg and salt lack the depth of flavor that having vegetables in the mix gives it. The only thing besides the bao that didnt disappoint was the cheese wantons, which were fine but not exceptional.

I am a regular. I order there maybe 3 times a week. I know! I am addicted to their wonton soup! There soup is the best guys! The sesame chicken is my favorite with beef fried rice. Its delicious! I have never had a problem since last year. I totally recommend it.

Good sized portions and pretty cheap but below average taste and flavour. Wouldn’t go again and threw most of it away.

Low key the BEST take out Chinese food in the city! Amazingly flavored and good quality food at a super affordable price. The service is fast and the people are really, genuinely friendly. I would recommend this place to everyone!

Hate to share this because I dont want it to get more popular (busy), but great Hole-in-the- wall spot. The food isnt greasy or over cooked, and the service is pretty quick. The lady behind the counter is a little rude, but the right kind. No time for dilly-dally. Love it

First off, we’re from East St. Louis, visiting the Long Beach area. We were craving Chinese and this place was near by. The lady working the register was EXTREMELY RUDE! I ordered the General Tso lunch combo and got the brown rice. The rice was DISGUSTING!!!!!!! Surely, it’s not like our rice in St. Louis but this was horrible!!!

Review №21

2022-10-28 03:38:15

Excellent hot and sour soup but only if you add about 6 grinds of white pepper and a TBS or 2 of red wine vinegar. Pork mou sho to die for.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I found this place on Yelp. Was in Long Beach & craving Chinese. Needed take-out & not expensive. Ordered online. FOOD IS EEEEXCELLENT!!! I would make a special trip just for this! Now, the restaurant looks Prepared to order & u can taste it. Tastes fresh, was HOT (I love when my food is hot) & my order was exactly as requested. If u want a place that has ambiance or beautiful decor, this is not for u. But if ur cool with a diamond wrapped in newspaper, this is ur spot.Ordered hot & sour soup, king pau shrimp, egg rolls & pork fried rice. All I can say is AAAAAMEN!!!

RUDE STAFF. I just moved to Long Beach and I wanted to try this spot out considering the reviews. Given that I never ordered from here, I didnt know how it worked and assumed that it was like any other mom and pop fast food spot. We were lost on how the portions were and thought a combo dinner was a single plate of three items, not 3 different containers of the three items. The woman at the register gave me mad attitude and was short of yelling at me. Me and my boyfriend walked out. I sure as hell not giving this business my money...EVER. I would give zero stars if I could.

Tried to order food here the other night and I actually cancelled my order after placing it because the woman who answered the phone was so incredibly rude that I didnt even want the food anymore. I work in food service and think Im pretty reasonable when it comes to judging someone elses service. We decided to give them another try tonight and so I had my husband call and they refused to deliver to us because we had cancelled the other night. So yeah, probably the worst food experience weve had in while.

This has been the best Chinese food Ive had in long beach!!!! I cannot recommend it enough, I have tried every other place and I keep coming back here. They give such huge portions, pack all of our food so well (never had any spills despite ordering orange tofu with lots of sauce), and do it all super quickly. The orange tofu and kung pao tofu are amazing and perfect for those looking to go vegetarian.

Review №26

2022-07-15 02:34:58

Horrible customer service. Literally the worst. The food is not good enough to be so rude and disrespectful. They dont treat you as a human, let alone a paying customer. They will hang up on you if theyre busy and youre trying to order.

Big fan of the Mu Shu. Generous portions and food is cooked to order. Fresh ingredients and chicken, meats, and seafood taste fresh. Best of all you get great, authentic Chinese food for half the price of other so-called Chinese restaurants.

JJs is a hidden gem! Excellent, fresh food at a great price. An unassuming establishment, located in a strip mall. Small restaurant with approximately 6 tables. Mostly take out or delivery. Ive never been disappointed. Dont sleep on this one...:)!!

Review №31

2019-07-26 23:14:13

I usually have JJs deliver but today I stopped in for lunch and ate there. They have 5-6 tables that can seat 4 comfortably. I had the orange chicken and fried cream cheese wontons. So freeking good!!! And so fresh and hot.

I tryed this place out. When i came home 5 hrs later i was throwing up everywhere and i was on the toilet. I don’t know if they cooked the food all the way but, I’m never coming there again.the lady at the cashier was soo rude. I honestly think she food poisoning me on purpose. From her attitude being bad i should have never spent my money there in the first place. This is a real review

2014-12-08 12:34:52

First tine going there and good was amazing. Its not your regular Chinese food spot. Its one that you order things separately, but the give you a lot. Recommend calling your order because they seem really busy, however worth my wait. Ive always drive by kind of skeptical than took a chance well worth it hands down

This is fast Chinese cheap food. The person taking orders over the phone speaks a English well and is efficient. Delivery was fast. The elderly driver was nice. The portions are BIG. I ordered tofu items such as mapo tofu and crispy tofu (which is different from what i thought but still alright) and appetizers ..All pretty decent. I would order again. And free delivery within 3 miles. And Please give nice tip to the elderly driver.Ok...ordered once more . Thats makes it twice in a month . Again ..portions are generous ...and fast. Everything comes nicely packed in containers wrapped with plastic wrap. This time the containers are labeled so it was ez to figure out whats what. The Sweet and pungent shrimp ..yes ..need to reorder that. They forgot utensils last time ..but this time all was included. So yeah ..i m pretty happy.

Such great food. I ordered the lunch specials and there was so much tasty food. Definitely will go back. The hot and sour soup was the bomb.

2019-09-16 01:42:24

You have to show ID for a $6 purchase. Ok I did that. Ordered Teriyaki bowl, after purchase I was told it will take 10 minites. Im like why? Cause everything is made as its ordered. Great they should have told me that to begin with.I get my food and no bowl or rice?!?! Because they dont have teriyaki chicken bowls. I had to order rice separately. Why do small mom and pop shops inconvenience the customer that doesnt help their bottom line. I WILL NOT GO BACK.

Two stars because previous experiences were okay, but this last time I ended up with an upset stomach. Given that there are other Chinese takeout options nearby I probably won’t be back. The food in the past was okay, nothing special, but quick takeout.

I hate to say I wont be coming here any more. It just bugs me so much to have to beg for soy sauce. They dont give you any unless you ask, then they give you one and if you ask for extra they give you one more with a dirty look.
