Amazing sushi. Really tastes fresh. TONS of choices. And they'll let you customize if asked. I got the chicken lo mein with an egg role, and my boyfriend got a California roll add cream cheese. Also I got a free California roll for checkout Yelp for the free coupon. (Awesome!). Definite looks rough from the outside but would definitely come again! read more

We recently had take out. I called ahead and was done when I got there and still warm when I got home. Interior seemed very nice and as already stated much different than what you would expect for the strip mall it is in. I like my crab rangoon just a bit more crispy, but was not bad for taste. The General Tso was also done well. Portion size was large. Wife had Moo Goo Gai Pan which was done to her satisfaction. We may try dining in and trying some different dishes in the future. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by today for some quick lunch after school and to take advantage of the 15% coupon the restaurant was running on yelp (yay!!). When we first arrived at 11am we were practically the only customers there, however that soon changed as the restaurant soon became packed! I ordered the beef mai fun ($7.95) and my boyfriend ordered the roasted pork fried rice ($6.95). Our food came out timely and was severed in enormous portions in ceramic bowls. My rice noodles were delicious and the beef was oh so tender but my boyfriends dish stole the show (seriously the best fried rice either of us had ever tried) the pork was savory and the rice and everything else fried in made for a dynamite collaboration! No doubt will I have to come in for more of the amazing fried rice and to try some of their sushi! read more

Great food and staff. If you want to go for dinner, get there early. The take-out is my first choice.

Not going here again.. they have changed, the food was horrible and cheap and way over priced.The menu quoted one price it was 2.00 more plus a charge of 2.55 for this yellow "fried" rice. ... we ended up throwing it away... use to be the best place in town read more

Excellent food at both locations. Can't go wrong with the classic menu or their sushi options.

CJ Chan has the best sushi in Dayton!! I love a simple, salmon sushi and it surpassed my expectations. Whenever I want good sushi, I always go there and recommend to everyone I know! read more

This is one of our favorite local restaurants. The food is always fresh and delicious. The service is fantastic. My son always chooses to come here whenever possible. I'd highly recommend the steamed dumplings and any of the sushi. The hot order foods are also tasty, huge portions! They are always accommodating with special orders. The location is a hole in the wall off of a busy road, but it's definitely worth stopping in for lunch or dinner! read more

The food is always great! Delivery is packaged to keep everything hot. Highly recommend

Super good!!! This place is a must visit if you are in the Dayton, Ohio area. Hibachi Chicken Bento Box was a great recommendation by our waiter. Loved everything about his place... read more

This is our 'go-to' 'to-go' place, and we also like dining in. The food is solid, with a nice mix of Chinese and Japanese staple menu items. They have a couple of nice salad options as well as a killer hot curry chicken. Because of the variety, we find we are able to make some healthier choices than we could at a traditional Chinese restaurant. The location near UD is cozy and borders on cramped, but the service is always excellent and speedy. As others have said, it's worth the wait, but if you are starved, get it to go! read more

Came with a group of 6 people. Not one complaint about the food or service. I ordered the CJ Mai Fun, the others ordered the Dragon & Phoenix, Las Vegas roll and dragon roll, another got the NY roll, and the others got orange chicken dishes. All we excellent and cooked to perfection. My Mai Fun has the perfect kick of spice. The sushi was made perfectly and fulfilling. Highly recommend this place if you're craving Japanese. read more

Really fresh, excellent taste. I enjoyed the chicken lo mein and also the sushi bento box which was good value with nice presentation. They could've went easier on the frying for the box, steamed sweet potatoe may be more popular than fried. The atmosphere is nice and the service is always good and fun. read more

Discovered this place 5 years ago when our daughter started school nearby. Every time we have eaten there is has been outstanding. The daughter has moved on but we will go out of our way to eat here when the opportunity arrises. read more

I literally got a yelp account to write this review. This place sucks i don't understand how anyone wrote a positive review. The soup was good but even the rice was disappointing. I've never had chinese food that was this bad. Find the next place. read more

A traditional American "Asian" styled food, but if you were a real Asian or knew what the delicious asian food is, you may get disappointed badly, and not cheap at all! read more

Highly recommend this little restaurant. They know to focus on quality. If you are into salmon, try the salmon sashimi, seriously delicious. Can't wait to take my boyfriend here. read more

CJ Chan - Philadelphia roll (with regular salmon, not smoked), salmon sashimi, and egg drop soup. Everything was phenomenal! - Japanese Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

I loved this place! Yeah it's small, but it's not and dinky as other reviews made it sound. I love that they have both Chinese and Japanese. My son loved their donuts! I mean sushi and donuts, what's better than that!! Prices were on point and large portions. We left very happy. read more

This place is flat out awesome. I've been to the store and ordered through doordash and both times the food has been outstanding. I love that I can get a mix of my favorite hot dinners and sushi and neither turns out sub-par. I'm impressed and will continue being a customer. read more

See Gage and has wonderful food I don't care for their key I don't like flowery tasting keys and I didn't care for the egg drop soup but they mailed it self was wonderful read more

Hands down the best damn margaritas EVER!!!! And the food and staff are both amazing.

Came here for an early dinner and everything we had ordered tasted really good. The waitress quickly brought us water and took our order in a timely manner. I ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box, which included tempura, California rolls and white rice. The bento box also came with miso soup, and a side salad (ginger dressing was really tasty) I will definitely be coming back here!! read more

This is my absolute favorite Asian restaurant. It is reasonably priced and the quality of food is outstanding. I love how fresh their vegetables always are. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is clean. I tend to get their Mixed Vegetables or the Singapore Mai Fun. Everything is super flavorful and I never leave feeling sick, which is a plus. read more

The only Chinese food I will eat in Dayton! I've never eaten in (and need to one day for the sushi), but I've ordered take out probably a dozen times over the past two years. I've never been disappointed by the food or the service. Best crab rangoons I've ever had! read more

Desperately looking for where Mr. Yu from Saya has disappeared to. However, I did find the value ($8.95 for Sashimi Lunch Special) a good one. It has 8 pcs of sashimi (Salmon, Tuna, White Tuna and Red Snapper), 4 pcs of Cali Roll, Rice, Miso Soup and Salad. They forgot our soup but made an order to go. The sashimi could have been colder which would have promoted a better flavor, but they were good cuts of fish nonetheless. My buddy ordered a spicy tuna hand roll and it came filled with spicy tuna however the seaweed was already rubbery by the time our server delivered it to our table. Those things have to come out as soon as they are ready to get that nice crisp seaweed paper texture. MR. YU, WHERE ARE YOU??? The quest continues!!! read more

This place has extremely fresh food. I have ordered something different every time I have come, and everything has been amazing. Their portions are gigantic (seem to be even bigger if you order carry out) and the prices are inexpensive. The building looks so nice inside that it looks out of place. The bathroom sinks are really cool looking, too. Eat here! Keep it open! read more

When the kids come this is a hit every time. If this is the type of food they want there is no question about where we are getting it.

My wife and i love these restaurants i lived in japan for three years and hawaii for another five. In both places i had the pleasure of trying, what i consider, the best japanese food i could hope to find. CJ Chan's is as good as anything i had in japan or hawaii. Both restaurants, while in rather unassuming locations (strip malls), are suprisingly well furnished and exceptionally clean. Again, the food is fantastic. I had the tuna tataki and the beef nagamaki (please forgive the spelling, grammar, and poor punctuation) bento box. The tuna tataki is thinly sliced lightly seared ahi tuna served over seaweed and sliced cucumber. Extremely good and reasonably priced considering the quality of the fish and portion size. The beef nagamaki was fantastic. Think of a sushi roll made of thinly sliced broiled beef wrapped around thinly sliced green onion lightly topped with teriyaki sauce. Friggin great! But wait this was a bento box, soooo that means there's morrrrre! The bento box came with a california roll (which i immediately swapped out for a spicy tuna tekamaki roll...no california roll is worth ordering...anywhere) tempura shrimp and veggies (sweet potato, brocolli, mushroom [ugh]) and white rice. The white rice was dry and the only part of my dinner i didn't thoroughly enjoy. For $56 (tax and tip included)my wife and i each enjoyed an appetizer, salad, miso soup, and some fantastic and authentic Japanese food. Thanks CJ Chan's for offering up the best japanese food certainly in Dayton and probably Ohio. read more

We really liked this restaurant. Very impressed with their service.our waitress and waiter were very friendly and attentive. To be honest, we seldom see smiling faces in most of Chinese restaurants we've been to, and we have visited quite a few all over the country. We will definitely go back to this place. read more

This is one of the best Chinese/Japanese restaurant in the city. They have both a Chinese and Japanese menu. They have "healthy" menu options as well. They do not deliver but they are so worth the drive. The portion sizes are amazing. I always have leftovers. It's small on the inside but the ambience is great. If you eat in you will not be disappointed. If you get take out you won't disappointed. This place is amazing!!! read more

CJ Chan is some of the best asian food i've found in Dayton and certainly the best chinese. They are located in a strip mall next to an LA Tan and a Nail salon,but when you walk into the restaurant you would never guess your in a strip mall. They've done an impressive job on the interior and service is always great. I would suggest trying the bento box lunch or anything off the chinese menu. I'm vegetarian so I really like their Tofu dishes,but i've heard their sweet and sour chicken is amazing too. read more

I literally eat here once a week. Sometimes even twice. I almost always get sushi and I've never been disappointed in the quality or freshness. Eating raw fish this often greatly increases my food illness risk but I feel nothing but awesome after every chans meal. I wasn't a big fan of the lo mein but I'm not sure I'd like it anywhere. General tso's is just plain the BEST in Dayton. I'd rather have sushi here than from Thai 9 any day and it's also a fabulous restaurant known for its high class sushi and rolls. You absolutely cannot beat the price. I'm sure it's the main draw at chans but as soon as you eat there you'll feel like you just got away with robbery. The lunch specials and bento boxes are by far the best value and include soup and salad. Try the unique narudo roll. read more

The food was fantastic and so was the service. The General Tsos tofu was delicious and the sushi rolls melt in your mouth. We will definitely be back. read more

This is the best sushi in Dayton! Don't let the strip-mall exterior frighten you away. The interior is charming but small. There are only about 12 tabletops in the entire restaurant; so, plan according to time of day and the size of your party. As for the food, the fish is exceedingly fresh and generously portioned. So, enjoy the sushi, tempura, and miso soup! The staff is very helpful and polite. Finally, the pricing is extremely reasonable. In fact, I would argue that they aren't being fair to themselves! read more

Excellent Food (Always fresh and made to order) and fantastic service! My favorite Chinese / Japanese restaurant. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. If you love sushi and authentic Chinese food, go experience CJ Chan and see why they are the best! read more

Best Chinese takeout in Dayton! It's in a great location for anyone living within The City of Dayton or Kettering, just in front of Dayton Hospice. For a while I lived on Monument Ave downtown and I'd prefer to drive past 10 Chinese places just to get to this one. Their food is always consistent, hot and fresh. If you like Chinese mustard, be sure to ask for their house made mustard. They will give you a cup to take home. My favorite dish so far is the Kung Pao Chicken. It's nice & spicy! read more

We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon. It was hot outside and just about as hot inside. The hot and sour soup was very good. That made me hopeful for the cashew chicken and egg roll that were on the way. My partner got some noodle dish and it looked like little more than noodles and sparse veggies in a bowl. (She did say it was better the next day.) I asked for chili oil, which looked kind of old. I mean, I've never seen it almost dried up. I used a lot of that, lots of pepper, salt, soy sauce...absolutely nothing I did have it any flavor. I have never had a meal so bland. It's also very small, which isn't horrible when you don't have a loud old woman acting like she's high society with relatives who actually were visiting from China. On top of that, her numbskull husband (also loud) started accusing the server of bringing him the wrong dish. He didn't wait to find out it wasn't his before he started talking. We did, however, use the Yelp app to get a free California roll. It was ok, I guess. I defer opinions on things like that to my partner. She seemed to think it was ok. So. We won't be back. If I were to have Asian guests, I would not take them here. read more
