Five stars for this local Chinese restaurant conveniently located in downtown Waterloo located across from the Monroe County Courthouse. 101 North Market Street. There are red lanterns hanging outside and a large sign in the parking lot, but sign on store was not lit. Parking lot is safe, but store itself doesn't look open and inviting. We popped in on a Monday evening before Christmas. No waiting. There is a hot bar where you can load up with one- two- ($5.75) or three- entrees ($6.25) with steamed rice or loMein and crab Rangoon or egg roll. Eight entrees to choose from for Ja's hot bar. Hot pepper chicken and beef broccoli were my favorite. We brought home $25 worth of food, fed five adults (Chinese buffet style at home) with enough leftover for three more lunches. Portions are generous, staff friendly, no msg in this quick service Chinese restaurant. Glad we took it to go, inside dining area is more like an outdated fast food restaurant--no ambience, but there was a Christmas tree!

Food is very good. Lots to offer on menu. Very large servings! Recommend crab rangoon. Can't go…read morewrong!

The restaurant is just off the main road through town and has a large sign out front. Drive to the…read morebuilding on the left. There is lots of parking adjacent to the building. It is attached to a laundromat but there were plenty of spaces available. There is a handicapped space right by the entrance. There are several tables for dining, but the restaurant is mostly set up for takeout. Several tables were pushed together to make room for storage. We noticed while waiting for our food the air conditioning is set rather warm. It would not be comfortable to eat there. We placed our order at the counter in the rear. A printed menu of the extensive offerings is on the counter as well as a limited picture menu on the wall. They offer a wide variety of dishes and appetizers covering pretty much everything you could ever want. We also noticed a family meal deal posted on the wall to the right of counter. This may be an in store only special as I did not notice it when looking at the menu online. The family meal deal allows selection of four items on the special list for a single price. We ordered the sesame chicken, General Tso's chicken, sweet and sour chicken, and crab Rangoon. The food took about 15 minutes to be prepared. It was well packaged and nothing spilled on the short ride home. All three entrees were good. Each had the expected flavor, was provided in a good quantity, and would satisfy any reasonable expectation. The General Tso's did not have any discernable spiciness so don't be afraid to order if you want the flavor. The crab Rangoon were quite good. They were much larger than typical and stuffed full of the filling. These are definitely something to order every trip.
