    Take out area
    Sedrick M.

    The food here was good. Second time visiting and the bourbon chicken was good. It was not overly salting like many of others. The service was fitting for a traditional Chinese restaurant. They were quick with our take out so could not complain. The interior was nothing to write home about but will be back for a good take out Chinese.

    Pad Thai
    Michael G.

    Chinese takeout is either hit or miss for me. I am either in love with my meal, or throw half of it away. J-Wok has become our go-to Asian takeout spot and I don't expect that to change anytime soon. Recently, we branched out from our usually sushi order and I go some Pad Thai to go along with it. It tasted fresh, wasn't greasy or overly sauced, and had just the right amount of toppings in it. I almost always add a little chili sauce to my Asian food, and once I did that it was perfect. I will definitely be ordering the Pad Thai again (probably in a few days...) As I mentioned, we usually get sushi when we order out from here. We kept it light this time with just a cali roll and a smoked salmon roll but both were fresh, well made, and held their shape through the "picking up, dipping, and inserting into mouth" motion that sushi requires. We've had a variety of rolls from here and are never disappointed. One of the guests we were with ordered Curry Fried Rice, dumplings (can't remember which ones), and Mongolian beef. All of which I sampled and were wonderful. I think the Curry Fried rice might become a staple for us when we do future ordering. J-Wok does Asian takeout right. Quick, fresh, and reasonably priced. See you there this weekend :)

    All the sushi!

    We ordered take out from here so my review reflects that! We ordered a bunch of sushi online because it was easy and the perfect excuse to not cook. The online ordering process was very simple to use and told us the wait time of 35 minutes for our order to be ready. Something unique about this place is that they have two menus. One is Chinese inspired and one is Japanese inspired. Both have various options but we wanted sushi so we focused on the Japanese menu. Each roll came with 8 pieces around the $14 range per roll. I had a couple of my girlfriends over and we ordered a bunch of different rolls to try. We got a few sexy mexican rolls, the spicy tuna, and tiffany's roll. We got extra spicy mayo and it was a solid move because the mayo was our favorite part. My sister has had the sexy mexican roll before and I'm so glad she suggested it. It had shrimp tempura, spicy crab, jalapeno, cilantro, and was topped with avocado. The fish was fresh and the jalapeno and cilantro were such a great surprise in the roll; I've never had anything like it! Again, pair this with the spicy mayo and the room will go silent. The sushi had great portions and was very filling. We got an order of edamame and it was still hot when we got it at home. My husband picked our order up for us because he is the sweetest pea in the world. I think our order was ready exactly on time because he picked up rather than us doing delivery. Overall, we were happy with everything and would order again!

    Carelesly packed food

    Quality of food and service in need of attention! I often hesitate writing critical reviews. The experiences at J Wok, however, have encouraged me to comment on the poor quality of the food and the most unkind service found at the take out venue. For sometime, we have joyed the food, ambiance, and service at Sushi Junkie. From the folks working there, we understood that the same family or group owns J Wok. Under such an impression, we have tried ordering various types of food from J Wok. While ordering online has been fair, once at the venue, the reception, tracking of the order, and getting the food has been consistently not pleasant. We have had a young man and women and a mid-age person tending to our various orders, including Chinese, Korean, and Japanese foods. Invariably, not very kind service. In comparison to other Asian establishments, the packaging of the food seemed carelessly put together. The quality of the food has been consistently poor. Even a simple dish such as fried rice, which we ordered once, was not pleasant to the eye, the condiments were off, and the meet had the consistence of rubber. Well, we thought, as we placed our last order (literally), maybe Chinese or Korean foods are not their things, despite their advertising. We should stick to what we know is good. Lets order take out sushi. Again, the assumption was that the food would be as good as what we have had Shushi Junki. Nope, we were wrong. The picture below, depicts a 60 dollars order (seaweed salad missing). The food lacked presentation, it was packed tightly in one container, the sauce from one item shared with the other items, slivers of discolored fish... enough to say, we decided to take discard the food. I wish I could have something positive to comment on about J Wok. I feel that the businesses need to work on respecting their customers, serving quality of food, and contributing to our community life.

We were previously considering Italian food but so glad we chose this place for dinner because it was soooo yummy and so cute.

This restaurant is a combination of Thai and a Japanese izakaya. We ordered the chicken skin, pad Thai, basil chicken stir fry, tom yum, and mango sticky rice. The chicken skin and the basil chicken came out first and they were amazing! The sweet dipping sauce with the chicken skin really pulls it together. We got level 2 spicy (out of 5) for the basil chicken and it did not have a single kick of spice but it was still very yummy and flavorful. As for the other entrees, we were very disappointed. The pad Thai tasted like BBQ sauce rather than pad Thai. The seasoning was very off putting. The tom yum was good but more on the sweeter side with my friends and I were not fond of. For dessert we got mango sticky rice. The sticky rice was warm and soft, and the mangoes were sweet and tart! Great combination of both especially with the coconut.
