    Dumplings- very doughy and taste terrible
    Sophie S.

    I've been visiting this place for years. I understand the management has changed over the year. They used to have decent food. But after today's visit, I think this will be my LAST TIME. First of all, when I went to pick up the food, the cashier was a little boy (no more than 6 or 7 years old) I ordered 2 sweet sour chicken, which was COLD when I opened the container. Rice was hard as stone. I asked for Fried pork dumplings and received HALF-Cooked, boiled ones. The dough is barely cooked and super thick, very very doughy and terrible tasting (dipping sauce all over the place) A large chicken lo-Mein is only half full of the container. The total is almost 50 Dollars, but left us hungry because most of the food was so bad we have to throw it away. Never Again.

    Hundred Flavor Beef and Chicken Fried Rice
    Samantha B.

    My husband and I have ordered from here a couple of times and we've been very pleased with the quality of the food. It is a small place so we normally do take out. I wouldn't worry about calling in your food ahead of time either. They are so fast when it comes to making the food that your wait is normally only five to ten minutes at most after placing your order. It's definitely one of the better chinese places I've eaten at in the area. They have a large menu with a great variety and I was extremely surprised at just how cheap they are considering the large portions they give you. We always order the dinner combo: for $9 you choose an entree and you also get a huge side of chicken fried rice, one crab rangoon, one egg roll, either egg drop or hot and sour soup, and a soda. It's soo much food that you could definitely share one dinner combo between two people without a doubt. I'm not going to lie to you...the soup is awful. Way too thick, almost like syrup. But the beef entrees are awesome (especially the hundred flavor beef, soo spicy and delicious) and the egg rolls and crab rangoon are perfect. Plus, the fried rice is the real deal. Not that yellow fake stuff! Overall, China Kitchen is great. I will definitely continue to order from here.

    Typical takeout Chinese place. The food is okay. But it comes quickly and is very inexpensive. Good hangover food.

I ordered online for carry out and the platform was easy to navigate. Once my husband and I arrived at the resto we were greeted by a very kind staff member. Our food wasn't ready but within 5 mins of us being there it was good to go. We tried the wonton soup and chicken dumplings app. Both were on the bland side. Normally I'm used to wonton soup also having noodles and theirs does not. Flavors were OK, felt like both dishes were missing spices. Everything was cooked perfectly though. Maybe we ordered the wrong items from here and need to try others instead.

In my experience, this signifies either the place was going to be a shithole to pass up, or it was a serious place to eat, then get out and go somewhere with an atmosphere. Happy to say J's (IMHO) is a serious place to eat. No-nonsense, direct and to the point. When I walked in, all those common chairs I mentioned were stacked upside down on the tables in the way that places do when they are closed. The taciturn fellow who worked there assured me they were indeed open, and explained they had just finish washing the floor. Please dont read any of this as negative-the best Chinese places I've ever been have looked like this-and if you've paid attention to the Travel/Food shows on the TeeVee, the joints in China itself are pretty much the same. On to the food, know this place is a Serious REAL-DEAL Chinese resto. I didn't notice if there were "Occidental" Chinese-type dishes on the carte, (primarily 'cos I wasn't looking for them). What I saw looked yum, and had a hard time making choices, even though I had read the menu multiple times and thought I know what I was going to order in advance. Confessionately, this is a chief feature for my tortured dining self-It's a wonder I even get fed in restaurants (especially the great ethnic ones), due to option anxiety. I zeroed in on "Street Noodles" for starters-wouldn't you? Then went to "Cold Beef Shank" for entreé. The Noodles were fab as was the Shank. The noodles were in a broth. with some hunks of bok choy and ground meat on top. Hearty, still light. The shank had a thin sauce complimenting but not obscuring the beefiness. One bugaboo: the Shank needed a bit of seasoning, and I wasn't going to use soy sauce, as I believed that would have marred the subtle flavors of the Beef. I asked for a salt shaker. It arrived, and I was a little taken back, 'cos it appeared it hadn't been washed in a while, and the salt inside was caked. It occurred to me this condition was present due to the non-use of said shaker. I don't think I've ever asked for a salt shaker in a Chinese resto. I pulled a toothpick out of my "Murse" and broke up the caked NaCl. Applying same to the pieces of Shank, the flavor bloomed and I was a happy boy. Bring some salt packets along when you visit "J's", maybe. The fellow who was waiter and cashier was a "western" fellow, whom I engaged and turned out to be quite an experienced foodie. some pleasant conversation indeed.

    So, we ordered 4 things to go: the vegetarian egg rolls, Chicken Almond Ding, Chicken with pea…read morepods, and Orange Chicken. The eggs rolls had very little inside them, but were pleasant enough fried dough. All of the chicken dishes seem to have a pressed chicken--not sliced or real chicken. Pleasant enough, but kind of strange. The Almond Ding had separate almonds, which was nice and Chick with peadpods appeared to have a little bit of real mushrooms and some real pea pods in it--but they lacked fresh flavor. The sauce is very bland, and kind of like a globby-like texture. There's a lack of any Chinese vegetables. No Bok Choy, no bamboo shoots, very few water chestnuts, no green pepper. Just tons of pressed chicken, and a bland white sauce. My husband's Orange Chicken was supposed to be hot but was not. It was pleasant but same pressed chicken now breaded (much better cover for pressed chicken). Lack of veggies in all the dishes. Would we go back? Probably not. Ended up throwing half of it away. Honestly, Panda Express is probably just as good which is kind of sad.

Mapo Restaurant has quite a few options. Has lots of options for everyone almost. There's both Americanized and authentic offerings with various levels of spiciness. Basic looking Chinese restaurant inside. It's actually better than it looks outside. This place is kind of hidden because it's located in a crappy building with a parking lot that makes it hard to get to. Came in and it wasn't busy. We were about the only ones in there. It's about $11 for a lunch special, which includes soup. This isn't that great of a special if you don't want the soup though. Has a lot of choices. The best one obviously has to be Mapo Tofu. Of course it's the signature item. This is soft tofu in a spicy sauce along with some onions and peppers. For sure it's pretty good even though it's not all authentic. It's located close to the H Mart. There's a few things for vegans and vegetarians.
