    the entrance to the restaurant
    Alexa N.

    The first time I went to J Liu I wasn't very impressed. I came back a couple of times and I will say they have definitely improved in terms of the food. Service has always been great and I appreciate the parking lot they have, but there's plenty of free parking options all around. It's interesting considering they have Asian food to American to Italian. I've only ever tried the Asian and it's not bad. It's overpriced in my opinion, but the atmosphere is nice. I'll need to try non Asian items. The tiramisu is good though!

    14 Oz strip

    Continues to deteriorate. When we came here in 2007-2010 the menu was spot on, food was always good, hot and service was fantastic. Since they opened the Worthington location it's like he has forgotten about this location. The menu is subpar, the food is even worse and service leaves a lot to be desired. We watched the staff ask a customer to move tables so they could accommodate a large group, which he did willingly, but when he got to the other table, the little light wasn't working, and he was obviously working on some paperwork and a map, and the waiter didn't even offer to get a light that worked.So I gave him ours. Then and only then did the waiter get the hint. Salad came and the level of dressing was basically non existent. We ordered lettuce wraps, crab rangoon, spring rolls, and 14oz strip. I sound like complain, complain complain.But it really was not that good. The spring rolls were great. Crab rangoon had to be sent back because I believe the crab was bad. The lettuce wraps were so dry and tasteless it's almost unbelievable. I'm gonna take it home and add some spice to it and eat it later. I don't know what kind of rub you're putting on the steak, but it made it so sweet that it was almost inedible. The potatoes that came with the steak have really great flavor but they're old so they're really dry inside. And unfortunately, the level of weight staff here isnt what it used to be. Am I expecting better?Absolutely?This is Jason's for goodness sakes, and it's just not as good as it used to be. We tried it a few times over the past six years.And this will probably be our last time. That breaks my heart, because this is where we came for our first date, and this is where we came for him to propose and we came for our anniversary for many years. But it's just not worth the money for a subpar meal that I can make at home for a third of a cost.

    Fried rice. Gluten free

    I've eaten here a few times now and it's always great service for my carry out. I ordered the fried rice lunch portion. It came with 3 protein choices. I got double shrimp and chicken. Mine was gluten free and they said they were careful about cross contamination. It was $15 and came with a lot of food! This delicious meal makes for leftover breakfast tacos!

    Spring rolls
    Alan B.

    We love this place. We ordered the spring rolls to start. Then the Mongolian Beef and sesame chicken. Max's service was great. We have been coming her for almost 16 years now. It looks great.

    Mongolian Beef and fried rice
    Norma O.

    Had dinner here the other night with friends. Always a great place . I had the Mongolian beef which was very good and I had enough to take home for another meal . Had the calamari for appetizer . Wed is half off on bottles of wine under 200. . That is a great deal

    Danielle H.

    Delicious food tonight with excellent service. Mixed appetizer plate. The Crab Rangoon is outstanding!! I could have eaten 15 of those guys! Delicious, fresh poke bowl. Served with two sauces. Rice was perfectly cooked and the tuna was fresh and a huge portion! This quiet little place gets overlooked but it's certainly worth your time. Oh, and an awesome outside.

    Aubrie H.

    Their happy hour is amazing! Great drink specials and so much yummy food. We ordered almost one of everything but our favorite was the avocado and the dumplings. Everything we had was delicious though. We also tried the old fashioned and the Pomegranate martini which also did not disappoint. Definitely worth the visit, especially during happy hour.

    Mongolian Beef/ white rice   Sushi in the back and dumplings
    Teretha L.

    Decided to try for my husbands and I anniversary. The restaurant was empty on a Saturday night but we did have an early reservation right around the time the restaurant opened. The staff were nice and friendly. The lighting in the restaurant was dim, but nice. Staff dressed up for Halloween and music played in the background. Now on to the food... The dumplings were great! We ordered two orders. We had the dragon roll, the shrimp could have been crunchier , husband wasn't a fan of how chewy the texture was. Still good. The Mongolian beef and white rice were seasoned good, nice size portion. You can choose from white rice or fried rice. Can't go wrong with cheesecake! Everything was great! I would definitely go again!

    What a great little restaurant in downtown Dublin, Ohio. The building has lots of charm and is a cozy, quite restaurant. I love the Mongolian Beef at this place. This dish comes with tenderloin, scallions, onion and crispy rice noodles with a delicious spicy brown sauce. I also recommend getting the fried rice with this. It's a small up charge for the fried rice, but worth every penny. There is limited parking around the restaurant but there is a big parking lot located just behind the restaurant. Great food and great service.

    Pad Thai
    Jessica B.

    My pad Thai is "extra vegetables". There are hardly any veggies as all and they're all massively overcooked and mushy. Everything we ordered lacked freshness but had really good flavors. This is a GREAT location, gorgeous patio, and I love having an ethnic food option in Dublin (even though they still have all the Dublin classics on the menu too god forbid the people of Dublin skip chicken parm on a night out). I think another issue is they basically have two menus, Asian and Dublin, I think they need to pick a single menu and go with it. The Asian side is great if they freshen everything up. Great staff also.

    Blackened tuna
    Greg M.

    Service was a bit slow, but not due to lack of effort! The lady that was taking care of my table was running her butt off, but she could have been duplicated to make the experience 5 star. Slow to take an order, slow to follow up, slow to get the check. The food, on the other hand, was quick and hot. Started with a cup of the lobster bisque. Very thick, very rich, little light on the crustacean. Also, very hot, extremely hot. I'm not going to complain, because if I do complain about a soup, it's because it isn't hot enough. This stuff burned the roof of my mouth! For dinner I had the blackened tuna over something like coconut rice (whatever that is). Regardless, I'm here to tell you the tuna was the best I ever had! Thick cut, rare, tender as all get out. Outstanding. The rice was topped with avocado and crab meet. Also had a slight spice/wasabi flavor to it. The spice made it happen! Washed everything down with their house Chardonnay, which I also very much enjoyed.

    Lobster Bisque

    I went here for dinner with my husband on Friday night. The J Liu in Dublin was booked, so we opted for a reservation here as it was wide open. I ordered a cocktail that had strawberry purée (can't remember the name), it was awful! It tasted like straight liquor. My husband ordered a happy hour lemonade drink and also said his was very strong. That is after the server told him it can only be ordered at the bar?! Ha! We asked if we can have it if we paid full price and sure enough the drink showed up. We had the crab Rangoon which was very very good! We also both ordered a cup of lobster bisque soup which was very good despite not having much of any lobster chunks in it. For our entrees my husband ordered the chicken parm and I ordered their salmon. When I tell you the food was bland! My goodness! I never reach for the salt and pepper but had to. The broccoli was under cooked, the salmon although cooked nice had absolutely no flavor. The coconut rice was alright, one bit had flavor and the next didn't. My husband wasn't impressed with the chicken parm and again it was very bland, he ate his though. Service was ok, maybe it was the fact that we didn't order Asian food here? But if you have something on the menu, do it right. We will never return here or the Dublin location for that matter. Overly priced and not good.

    Wednesday is half off wine nite. Great wine

    Chicken fried rice is the best. Crowd is fun in the bar area. Happy hour till 7 with great selections of food and drinks.

We had to go back down 8 flights of stairs and come back up for our reservation when we could come back in (which was as soon as we got to the bottom). It was fine for us, but I can see 8 flights being a challenge for a lot of people. Otherwise, the ambiance was lovely and the view was great. My only major gripe was the service. Our server didn't check on us very often, and we had to ask for the dessert menu when we heard last call was coming up. I'm chalking up the service mishap to an odd evening with the fire alarm. Definitely would love to come back and try it again!

I did get lost in the parking garage and went down to Level 1. FYI: You have to go to Level 5 to exit into the street level. First impressions: It's so clean and has a nice welcoming energy to it. As soon as I walked in, I noticed all the plants: some were hanging and many were near the windows throughout the whole place. They were real and very healthy. Someone who works here must have a green thumb. There were many tables and chairs, a long bar and a separate area for private parties. There is a QR code to order at our table but I ordered from the bar because it was not too busy. My bartender was very friendly. She acknowledged me right away, and came to take my order as soon as she could. I ordered the margarita but all the cocktails looked so good. The decor behind the bar was beautiful! It was a long picture of a runway with a plane taking off. There were also airplane windows that were so cute and went with the whole airport theme. I came up later to order shots for our table. The same bartender once again helped me find the right shot for my friends . I also tried the Kitty Paw hard Steltzer drink. It was refreshing and I loved the hint of Guava. The whole place wasn't too loud. We could carry on our conversations without shouting. They had an etagere near our table full of board and card games. My friends grabbed the Truth or Fear game. We never played it before, It was a fun game to get to know each other. I would definitely come back here again. It was so welcoming and fun.
