    egg congee. yum
    Viv P.

    Solid four stars reflect dimsum menu. It has been a while, so I tried their Mongolian beef and mala pork again... but I was not wowed. Mongolian beef is still VERY onion heavy, and not the dark brown dish with green onions anymore. IT's still tasty, but definitely feels more Americanized than authentic. Mala pork lunch special is not the real authentic Mala dish. Not for me. I asked for hot. But wasn't. But we had American friends with us and they loved the dish, more than the Mongolian beef. So up to your palate! Dimsum Pork and shrimp and chive dumplings were yummy! Looked very home made. Turnip cake with xo sauce is still delicious. Hacao is ok, but not fantastic. Eggplant is delicious. It felt a little less stuffed in this visit, but taste was still on spot. Owner lady (I think she's the owner) was nice and friendly.

    Date of delivery: April 10, 2025 One of my coworkers is a huge fan of JJ Chen's and often asks if I want anything when she's ordering. If I'm having a moment of weakness I will agree and get the Sesame Chicken. It's a decent Sesame Chicken--not the best (Hong Ahn Palace or Jing's) but also not the worst (Emperor of China) that I've had, squarely in the middle. Also disappointing is that if you pay cash at delivery, the driver not only has no change, but also does not speak English so whatever you have available to give him is what he's going to get!

    Food was delicious. I had the Dim Sum and it was very tasty. Came to the table nice and hot. Prices for the dim sum aren't that high so you can try a bunch of things. Definitely gonna be a regular spot for the future

    JJ Chen's is one of the best Chinese spots in the milwuakee area! The owner really prides himself in his food. As my sister and I were the only customers at the time in the shop he came and talked to us. Really friendly guy! The food was high quality and extremely tasty! Of all the places I have tried in Chicago I will say JJ Chens is on my list of places for Chinese I wi good to for food. The service was best I have ever seen at any place. The atmosphere made me think about how Chinese restraunts were back in the 90's. So, I loved it! Definitely give JJ Chen a try!

    I have been meaning to try this place for quite some time! It is just in a strip mall on the NE corner of Hwy 100 and Oklahoma. It is not very big inside. 8 tables total and it appears most people get takeout or delivery. I just walked in and ordered, but in the future I will order ahead. I did like how they asked what spice level I would like. I ordered the Kung Pao chicken and a chicken egg roll. I ordered spice level 4 and I could go to the 5, but I like spicy. It was all delicious! Prices are very reasonable.

    A Cantonese here to support the only dim sum restaurant in Milwaukee! I've always liked getting dim sum here. The quality and the variety are not the best that I've had for sure - but still enjoyed their fast service and hot and flavorful dim sums. Definitely satisfy the craving. My favorites are the Steamed Pork Ribs with Black Bean Sauce, Stuffed Tofu Skin with Pork & Shrimp and Stir-Fried Turnip Cake with XO Sauce. The Preserved Egg with Pork Congee is great in texture but sometimes lacks some salt - not a big deal I will just add some to adjust a bit. The classic Shu Mai often lacks some flavors too but they are all so big and meaty and worth the price! Overall, I hope Cantonese restaurants like JJ Chen could stay open on Milwaukee!

    Take out dumplings at a reasonable price?! Sign me up! They have multiple types of dumplings to…read morechoose from and I honestly had a hard time deciding what to order. I went w the shanghai soup dumplings and wontons w chili oil in addition to some crab rangoons. Now I didn't have super high expectations for take-out soup dumplings, and they were pretty much exactly what I was expecting. They were good, flavor was fine, they seemed a little fatty, which I wasn't expecting. The dipping sauce was my favorite part. Now the wontons w chili oil on the other hand were an amazing take-out option that I will be getting again. Pork and shrimp w a spicy chili oil, flavor was great, texture was great. Will be getting again. The crab rangoons were also pretty good. Nice and crispy w a good amount of cream cheese filling. Overall, the food was good and there is a lot on the menu that I will be back to try. Probably wouldn't get the soup dumplings as a take out option again, but would consider getting them in-restaurant.

    Solid Chinese sanji option in the area. We like doing pickup here because it's easy and reliable…read more Pro tip: get the MINI sanji instead of the regular ones. They come out crispier and are served in a delicious sweet-and-sour sauce with a very subtle kick. The regular sanji itself is well seasoned, but too doughy. The green scallion pancakes were not life-changing, but still good - probably among the better ones I've had in Milwaukee. Other dishes, like the fried rice, are pretty standard American Chinese food. The dim sum feels more pre-made, and the selection is limited anyway. I'd treat those more as sidekicks to the main order rather than something to get too excited about.

    I remember when this restaurant was new and it was crazy busy all the time. I recently visited and…read moreit was a bit sad to see it nearly empty on a Saturday afternoon. There seemed to be no one working at the host/hostess station by the door or at the bar. We had to wait several minutes before someone noticed us to seat us. They offer a decent "lunch" special that also runs on weekends and until 3pm or so. I cannot say no to that Mongolian beef... which might have been even better than I remember. The chicken pad thai was a HUGE portion and looked/smelled incredible. I definitely want to try this in the future. The waiter was nice and attentive without being annoying. For a chain, I think the food is pretty dang amazing and the menu is quite extensive. I would recommend PF Chang's over the foot court any day!

    This is our second time that we have gone in the past six months. This location used to be a "go…read moreto" years ago. I feel like every time we go it seems to be going downhill slower and slower. A few times ago, the service was not good and just cleanliness was t good either. Floors dirty and windows filthy etc. But we thought we'd give it a try again. Tonight when we sat down at the table. The server came promptly, which was great! We just ordered waters and wanted to eat, so we ordered right away! After we ordered, I looked down and noticed there was rice in between the table placemat under both mats and also on the other side was dried sauce and chunks of food stuck onto the table. Simple mistake and but we switched tables. Right when we sat down, I took the wine glasses and slid them to the end of the table as we ordered water, and I figured they would take them. As I was moving them, I noticed that there was lipstick marks on one of them. As for the service, it started out well, but then he basically never came back to the table and other servers were helping us. The food was hot and good but the overall experience wasn't good and now being 2 back to back times and for the price, we will not be back, sadly. The restaurant is getting to be gross and use to be a nice dining place. Not it's like a fast food cheap feeling place that's overpriced for what you experience. So many better places now.
