It's been a while since I've tried some authentic Chinese food! Thank you JJ Chinese food your food was delicious

JJ's is pretty much your quintessential Chinese takeout joint for those living in the neighborhoods near Redondo and Anaheim. With an extensive menu with all the classics, if you're craving some fresh and steaming hot American-style Chinese food, this spot has you covered. Their food pretty much comes in two sizes -- half and full. The full-sized serving is substantial, with a lot of food for the cost. They're generous with vegetables, often incorporating them and stretching some of the dishes further and adding some freshness to their dishes. Our family often goes for the pork fried rice (ask for some Chinese mustard for bonus points and some sinus-clearing action), vegetable chow mein (greasy noodly goodness), General Tso's chicken (sooooo good), and Szechuan beef (spicy with tons of veggies). Everything we've tried has been delicious though. If you've read this far, I hope you check them out! read more

This place tastes like good memories . No frills good food made to order. Had the sweet and sour pork- please never close.

Your classic Chinese food shop. Their portion size for take out is really respectable. A meal and soup was able to last a couple meals with my wife and I. read more

Tasty! Great portion sizes and so speedy. We had hot and sour soup, chow mein, fried rice, orange chicken and beef and broccoli. It was soo good. And way too much food for two people. We had it for dinner Friday night and for lunch on Saturday and Sunday and there is still a lot left. read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Long Beach. It's takeout only but their prices cannot be matched. The quality of the food is wonderful. I've never had anything bad from there. read more

Order the hot & sour soup, sesame chicken lunch special (with egg drop soup), general tso's chicken, and shrimp chow mein. The hot & sour soup was way better of the two soups; wish it had more substance and less broth though. The egg drop soup needed salt. This restaurant isn't like most chinese fast food restaurants where you can order the chow mein as base like the fried rice, so I had to do a separate order and went with the shrimp. The two chickens were similar but the general tso was definitely better. Not as sweet and had a little bit of spice to it. read more

They have amazing food! I've never gotten anything I didn't like! They are extremely nice!

Love this place. My kids can be very picky, but this is the only Chinese food they want. I like to think of them as 'My Friend', because the staff and owner are very gracious and hard working. It is mainly a To-Go service and parking is almost always available. They also take good care at making sure the order is correct. Can't say enough about JJ's. read more

We were craving some Chinese food and needed walnut shrimp. This spot was in our area. Parking: Street parking and plaza parking. It was actually pretty packed was plan accordingly and have patience Seating: It seems like there used to be seating but not so much with COVID-10 but it looks like a cool bar place. Feels: The space is in a neighborhood plaza so ou'll see it relatively full, or at least the parking lots. There are food spots, laundry washing, and a weed dispensary place. It's an express spot so nothing flashy just good visuals of all the eatery spots. FOOD: Orange Chicken Combo - Fried Rice, Egg Roll, Soup (Recommend) A good bang for your book. I think about a good comfort meal that is fulfilling that has the essence . Texture may not be as fresh but the flavors are there and the combo gets the job done as well. Walnut Shrimp (A-Ok) Good flavors if you just need a fix. Lowkey the shrimp was extra chewy and well marinated with honey mayo. Be sure to eat quick as it gets soggy. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Respect! It was basically a single woman working the line and kitchen! TL; DR OVERALL: 3.5 Stars. I appreciate this spot. Steady price and plentiful selections. This may not be the most high-end Chinese food spot but it gets the job done if you need your Chinese food fix. Tips: *Call ahead of time. They do get busy. read more

JJ Chinese Express - Orange chicken and walnut shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Long Beach, California

It's a solid Long Beach quick-service budget-friendly Chinese food spot. They offer affordable lunch specials that include a main dish, rice and a soup or other combinations of the same value. The Pepper Steak is basically meat with bell peppers. For some reason we thought the "pepper" was referring to black pepper seasoning. But it's good especially if you like the ingredients. The Chicken Chow Mein is a solid dish especially for a picky eater--there aren't any outrageous flavors going on, just the flavors that you would expect and the noodles are soft. The Mongolian Beef is also solid with lots of vegetables. The Chicken with Garlic Sauce is good but I didn't get a huge punch of garlic which is what I want when I order anything with the word "garlic" in it. The Fried Rice is good, but not overly flavorful--I've definitely had better. The Egg Drop Soup is tasty and the Wonton Soup has lots of vegetables and is tasty, but put some soy sauce in it for an elevated taste. This restaurant offers inexpensive options with more than adequate portions and satisfactory quality food. With this economy, I appreciate this type of lunch and/or dinner option. Give them a shot. read more

Food is good 9/10, great portions for the price. Service is good. Ambiance is fair, the store is small and mostly for to go

So I was looking for a decent Chinese food restaurant in Long Beach that isn't your typical ready-made experience and found JJ's. I didn't look at the menu at all before going in, and was relieved to find a bounty of lunch specials. I got the General Tso's chicken lunch special which came with an egg roll, soup, and a carb side. I got the fried rice which was not great but still better than Panda Express and most places... just not great if you're like a fried rice fan connoisseur or something. The wonton soup seemed fresh although I would have liked it with a touch more salt. And the chicken was definitely the highlight of the meal. It tasted very fresh and was made using better ingredients than I'm used to getting. I guess because this isn't your typical Chinese fast food place, huh! It was a big portion and way more food than I was expecting for a little over $7. I will be glad to eat here again. I'm not sure what more to hope for in this price range and for a carry out place like this. read more

JJ Chinese Express - General Tso's Chicken lunch special. - Chinese Near Me - Long Beach, California

Moving to LB from SGV, I haven't had decent takeout Chinese food until encountering this restaurant. I've only ordered DoorDash from this establishment and it's honestly the best deal you can get for made-to-order takeout Chinese food. Skip Panda Express - you can find better food here with generous portions, and support a local family. I usually order the eggplant tofu with garlic sauce combo, and I ask for vegetarian fried rice without bbq pork. It comes with a fried snack and a soup. You really can't beat this deal. I am looking forward to visiting the actual storefront one day! read more

Been coming here for 8 years and they're always quick on delivery and the food is always good.

Oh my goodness. I've lived in Long Beach for 15 years and only now have I discovered this fabulous take out. JJ Chinese does not have trays of food warming and ready to go. Everything is made fresh to order. You should call ahead and pick it up. Not the best neighborhood. They could open up on 2nd street and be the biggest hit there! It tasted like there was no MSG and it was not over-salted. Instead it tasted incredibly homemade and delicious. We had Mongolian beef, sweet and sour pork, pork wontons, and pork fried rice. This is the best Chinese food I've had in almost 40 years. No joke. Add to it that they are so prompt and thoughtful in packing and providing all the pieces you'll need to have a complete dining experience wherever you take it. The shop isn't really set up for in-store dining, so keep in mind you'll be taking it home to eat. Highly recommended! read more

JJ Chinese Express - Sesame Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Long Beach, California

JJ Chinese Express is where it's at! I've ordered takeout from here several times and it's always hot and delicious. I also love that they take care to package cold beverages separately from the rest of the food to ensure the temperature of everything is perfect upon delivery. I've never physically been to their store, so I can't speak about the ambiance, but believe me when I say it's worth it to give them your business. I will order from this place again and again. read more

Ordered for delivery. Good chinese food in the LB/LA area. Not quite on PFChangs level but definitely hits the spot for your chinese food craving at a good price. Thank you JJ Chinese Express. Will be eating at your business again soon read more

I had a great experience- the food was Excellent the service was excellent very fast service

sometimes, I just crave a basic sesame chicken and it's been weirdly hard to find in Long Beach, where there's so many other kinds of great food in abundance. It appears to be a family operation, they closed for a few weeks for summer vacation (I'm honestly kind of into that, good for them). Everything's made fresh, no chafing dishes. I will say that I didn't care for the fried rice, maybe I'll see if they have noodle options next time. read more

What's more is there to say? Food is consistently fire, prices are super reasonable for the area, and the staff are always friendly. Only downside is that there's no tables to eat inside. read more

The fried rice is terrible. It's mushy and no flavor. Everything else is average. Service is typical.

Not to my liking! We came across this place when hunting for some yummy Chinese food. We ordered the following: Chicken Fried Rice Fried Tofu in Garlic Sauce Kung Pao Chicken Sesame Chicken They gave us a free Sprite as well for waiting. Initially, I left this place wanting to give a 4/5 (mainly because of the customer service). Upon eating, that's where it lost its 3 stars and is left at 1 . Why ?? 1. Chicken Fried Rice had no chicken in it. Literally one or two pieces and did not seem thoroughly cooked. 2. Tofu was overcooked and left my stomach very queasy throughout the night 3. The Kung Pao Chicken was by far the worst. It was drenched in peanuts and had NO taste to it. It was the worst Kung Pao I ever had. 4. Sesame Chicken tasted odd. Maybe it was the oil. I ended up vomiting that night from it. To top it - the free Sprite was watered down. It was flat. I would never (EVER) go back. read more

I like eating here but the service is awful. I've been trying to call in an order for 30 minutes & nobody is answering even they're open until 9. I walked in right now (8:45) & was turned away "because they're closed" even though there is 3 people inside (maskless btw) and others are still coming in to pick up orders. The owner lady claims they close at 830 so beware even though everything states 9pm. read more

This is an unassuming Chinese place in a strip mall but the food is top notch. We don't eat meat and ordered the tofu vegetable lunch special and the eggplant with spicy sauce. The portions are big and the lunch special comes with a soda, fortune cookie and veggie egg roll. Our tummies are happy. This is our favorite Chinese fast food in Long Beach. :) read more

The service was good, a lot of food for a cheap price but food was bland and flavorless

I saw a review that they were closed - I called, they are OPEN! I am so relieved, this is the best Chinese food in Long Beach!

HONESTLY....I ordered from here during covid cause 1 I didn't want to wear a mask & go out somewhere to order..... 2.. I was being lazy lmao I was low key skeptical cause I didnt know how my food was going to be delivered....and DAMN GINA.!!! Everything was super on point. Not to mention their food is DELICIOUS. Now that things are opening up....im spoiled!!!... so for sure im ordering delivery again. ‍ And of course I forgot a picture. But ill update the next time we order read more

For the price it was definitely decent. I will be back because you can get a lot for a small price. The noodles were so yummy and the hot & sour soup was top notch. read more

JJ is my go-to Chinese restaurant for takeout. Always good. Always fast. Ordering for pickup from beyond menu (link on their website) saves you a few bucks from ordering through delivery apps. I just wish they'd bring back their salt & pepper shrimp, it was the BEST. read more

First time venturing away from my regular Chinese food places. Plus it was kind of late, like 8:40 p.m.. Got out from the gym and the carb cravings hit me hard tonight. CHICKEN CHOW MEIN. Cooked to order. I guess I'm used to the steam table fast Chinese fast food. There is much to be appreciated about cooked to order chow mein. It came out piping hot in my take out box. I got a large to split with my son and sister, and there's still some left over. The noodles were a bit too soggy for my taste and the vegetables were cooked to where they did not retained their crisp. Might be due to it continuing to cook in the package. Vegetables were garlic, julienned carrots, shredded cabbage, and slices of onion. I really enjoyed the garlicky aftertaste. Sauce game was strong. I'm more of a light sauce person, because I like to taste the noodles. I bought only one entree and that cost $9.90. I asked for chow mein in a standard size take out tray, but the lady said that's not how they sell it. Okay, whatever... Chow mein either comes in a small or large FoldPak box. Foldpaks are those white Chinese food takeout boxes. Overall, food was good. A little salty for me, but I generally eat some bland a$$ food. I will likely come back and try out the other dishes. read more

Entries come with rice, NO EXTRA CHARGE!. Satisfied my Chinese food cravings and some. Covid precautions: 5/5 Above and beyond for sure. Staff wearing masks. Sanitizer available. Plastic wall to separate smite staff and clients. Food transfer door - completely contactless. Food: 5/5 Soooo effing good. I have been craving some good Chinese, not expensive, food. This is defiantly the place and the quality is better than one of those expensive places. We ordered the Sweet and Sour Pork, Chicken and String Beans, orange Chicken, Beef Chow Fun, and the Honey Walnut Shrimp. We also ordered the hot and sour soup and the egg won ton. I defiantly had my fill with their half plates with plenty of leftovers and not crazy expensive. read more

I love their food, their polite staff, their prices, and everything. Their food tastes so great and the price is not too expensive, its just right. I eat there food almost every day! read more

Best Chinese food spot forever. Honey garlic chicken is like no other. I have dreams of this food lol.

Nothing was bad, everything was decent. Singapore noodles didn't have that much flavor but had a lot of beef and shrimp, the Chow Fun was kind of bland and the noodles were all shredded up making it hard to eat. General Taos chicken had the most flavor and was decent. Food was ready very quickly, everything was priced fairly for inexpensive Chinese takeout. read more

JJ Chinese Express - Everything was decent. $30 in this picture - Chinese Near Me - Long Beach, California

Great food with great portions and always made fresh. The pricing is comparable to those place that have a myriad of options under a warming lamp with the big difference being that your order is made fresh every time. Love the general Tso chicken read more

I went here today for the first time. I ordered the fried shrimp, the chicken Chop Suey and the barbecue pork. I honestly cannot give it good marks. The shrimp (baby shrimp), was mostly breading. The barbecue pork was tough and chewy and not thinly sliced. The Chop Suey had a tiny amount of bean sprouts, which is what makes a Chop Suey! Overall a disappointment. read more

I had a huge craving for Chinese food but was lazy to go out and buy some, so used Door Dash. And when I say huge craving, I ended up ordering a lot (for just myself), which wasn't too bad because I was well fed for the next few days due to the leftovers. I ended up ordering sesame chicken (which is orange chicken with sesame seeds), Chinese eggplant with garlic sauce, vegetarian egg rolls (2 w/ sweet and sour sauce), and BBQ Pork Buns (3). I didn't know that each entree came with a side of rice. And of course, they always add the fortune cookies with each meal. First off, the sesame chicken is good and tastes like it usually does (not too salty, not overly sauced, and not too dry in the middle). However, the eggplant was really over sauced (some of the sauce leaked out of the container), which can be good I guess if you like to take a spoonful of the sauce to pour over the rice. The BBQ pork buns, not sure how long they were sitting out, but I had to microwave it because they were less than slightly warm when they arrived. But after warming them up in the microwave, they were delicious (the BBQ inside was still tender with those slivers of fat on the meat). The veggie eggrolls were also like usual veggie eggrolls, had to make sure I dipped them in the sauce. Finally, since I wasn't expecting a side of rice with each entree, I was very surprised with how amazing their rice was! Their rice had a very nice fragrant flavor. As for their to-go/delivery packaging, they were very professional. Not only was my order double-bagged with cut out cardboard on the bottom for stability. They also included all the necessary napkins, utensils, and sauces (soy sauce, hot sauce). And of course, the fortune cookies (2). For the first fortune cookie, it was true: "You are working really hard. :)" However, for the second one, considering it is 2020, not sure if it's that true: "This year is filled with such amazing things." read more
