Very friendly proprietor in a dated but cool space. Love the idea of a Chinese restaurant in Sakura square. Portions are big and made to order, would like to try a couple items prior to giving a full review. The happy family was decent but didn't blow my socks off. Will be back though. read more

Good food. Super nice staff. I'm from the east coast and it's hard to find NYC Chinese food. This is the closest I can find in the down town area. read more

One good thing working downtown is the opportunity to try out all the restaurants normally would not take the trip to try out. JJ Bistro on the second floor of the Sakura Square is a such example. It has been a staple here as far back as I can remember, but never climbed the stairs to eat there. As my new year resolution is to explore more Asian restaurants downtown, JJ Bistro was a perfect candidate (since it was within walking distance from my office). The restaurant was quite roomy and had the traditional American Chinese restaurant feel. Ordered my favorite sesame chicken. For lunch, it came with a spring roll and cheese wonton. The sesame chicken was crispy outside and juicy inside with a sweet, spicy and tangy taste. Surprisingly better than many other sesame chicken in town. Certainly will come back. Heard their black bean sauce dishes were among the must tries. read more

The food is not very good. I love sweet and sour soup and this place had almost nothing in it and the flavor was a bit sweet with lots of black pepper. The worst I've had anywhere. My meal had slimy shrimp with mixed vegetables. Greasy oil dripping egg rolls. Nothing inside but cabbage. Tofu app was ok. The fortune cookies were garbage. They smelled so bad and stale I dare not take a bite of one. The fortunes inside all said "Manscaped" on them (WTF?) what does that word have to do with Asian food or fortune cookies?! We only had a handful of cookies and most of them were treat fortunes inside. Like seriously they're all that much the same? Won't order again. read more

JJ's Bistro - Wtf is this? Why does it say manscaped inside Asian food fortune cookies? Smelled stale, didn't want to eat. - Chinese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Amazing service! The lady was kind and talkative. We ordered soup and she brought us a bigger portion to "warm us up" since it was quite cold outside. She also brought us complementary egg rolls! Our food got out to us fast and was amazing! the portions are perfectly sized. The atmosphere inside is quiet and moody. perfect for a date night or calm dinner. read more

Absolutely fire! This is a must try and a must return! We had the Mongolian beef w white rice, some crab n cheese wontons and spring rolls. My gf and I both cleared our plates. Service was 10/10 and I am just blown away how good this place was. It will be my staple for Chinese food in Denver from now on. read more

A little hidden, but well worth it. Their food is really good and fresh. And the owners are really nice!

My food was so good and my server was so sweet . The atmosphere was clean, comfortable, and had a really nice vibe.

For being downtown the price was great for the amount of food you got, also the staff was very nice and we received our food in a timely manner. I will definitely be back if I'm in the area for a quick lunch. read more

I LOVE the food. I LOVE the service. The lady at the front is always, and I literally mean ALWAYS, so kind. Give this place a little love

Great local spot with incredibly friendly staff. I got the Szechuan chicken and my friend got the Mongolian beef and both of us really enjoyed our meal. There was a good spice level, but it sounded like they'd be willing to accommodate if you wanted it more mild or more spicy. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back. read more

MUST TRY!! The food is incredible!! The owner is hilarious and was so kind to split our meal as we were sharing!! Next time I'll take a picture to show how beautiful the food is, I couldn't wait at all to eat!! Everything came out so fresh and saucy. read more

Such a lovely place! Food is always good and owner like to chat with customers and have some fun! Prices are reasonable and it's my go to Chinese restaurant! going to bring all my friends too! Business is slow there but should be much busier! So if you want some good chinese food, give it a try!!! read more

This place is incredible. That said, I know how yelp reviews works for these type of places (Mexican as well), if it's over maybe 4 stars it means the place caters to white people and is less authentic, but 3.5-4 stars means more authentic. This place is as good and authentic as it gets, and more. Food is excellent, hosts and owner are enthusiastic and happy you are there. Maybe the best Chinese spot in all of Denver. read more

Despite what other said, I actually thought the location was kind of cute.. the generals tso's wasn't my favorite but I might try again and get something else Food-6/10 Ambience - 7/10 Service- 10/10 Location 10/10 read more

Food is always so good! You can basically get anything on the menu and it will be delicious

First, the positive: the person who greeted and served us was sweet; they were kind and fast. The rest are all negatives, unfortunately. Environment: We came at around 7:30 pm on a Friday night. It took a good long walk in the cold to even FIND the restaurant (good luck navigating the construction project at night -- JJ's in on the second floor), and this place was 100% empty and eerily quiet when we came in. It was genuinely creepy. The posters inside are taped up in a way that looks like a 3 year old did it. The plastic-stand drink menu was smeared with a sticky, amber liquid. There's a random empty table-sized cubby with two large rocks next to an outlet in the smack center of the space. I should have listened to my gut and walked out the moment my partner & I arrived but I've been pleasantly surprised before, so we stayed. Food: Barely a step above vile. We got the family meal (for two) that includes soup, an egg roll/wonton appetizer, two entrees and a couple cookies. The egg drop soup was so unbelievably oily that we both decided after our first spoonful that we would not be having any more. The egg roll/wonton appetizer was better, but it didn't come out hot. The two entrees were the best part, and still one came out cold ... and they too were *swimming* in oil. I don't consider myself to be a particularly good cook, honestly. But when I can make better food than a restaurant, I am deeply confused because that is literally y'all's entire job ... you make and serve food professionally. So how the food can be that disgusting without this place going out of business bewilders me. read more

This place is very hard to access and honestly kind of scary. There is construction in the complex its on the second floor of. You have to walk through several alleys in the cold. The food was disgusting. Ive never had Chinese I didnt like, the orange chicken had no sauce and smelled really bad. The egg rolls were only cabbage. 1/5 really disappointing and not super cheap compared to other Chinese. read more

Ordered delivery while staying in hotel downtown. Was prompt and the amount of food was well worth the cost. We thought it was amazing. We ordered the Beef Fried Rice, Sesame Chicken, Chicken Stir Fried Mei Fun and Mongolian Beef. None of it was over saturated with sauce like I'm accustomed to getting at other Chinese restaurants. It was absolutely delicious and I believe the leftovers, which were a lot, will heat up nicely. read more

I love this place. the owners are wonderful. Get their kung pao chicken and my wife and I both love their chicken fried rice. read more

Just moved to the area a few days ago. Food was amazing, extremely quick, and service was great. I'll be coming back next time I want Chinese food for sure. read more

I was gonna order.. called asked if they delivered to the motel I'm at .. asked about general Tso and was met with a rude lady.. screw them! I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

Great spot for a quiet, relaxing dinner. I had the egg drop soup, and the Asian summer rolls - both delicious. Staff was super sweet and caring, we shared a great conversation and they made sure I was well taken care of the whole time. I will always support a business that you know is ran by good people and that cares for their customers, thank you JJs bistro! Will certainly be back read more

My fiancé and I decided to eat here because it was right above the Sakura Cherry Blossom Festival on the 2nd floor, and my goodness this place has the best Chinese food I've eaten since moving to Denver. If youre trying to beat the crowds, we went here around 4 or 5pm, beat the dinner rush. Ambience felt homely and chill for being in the middle of downtown. My fiancé had been looking for a place with good Pad Thai, and she said her food was exceptional. I've been here before and had the Sesame chicken, which is always amazing, but this time, I tried fried rice with just egg. Best fried rice in a thousand miles. The lady who helped us was so kind and funny. She took care of us, and it felt homely, like I was back in Hawaii eating at the authentic Chinese places. I feel bad for not catching her name, but it felt like when you come home from school and Ma takes care of your meal and it's too good and somehow nostalgic. Prices are reasonable, and portions are pretty generous considering the state of the world. I left full and happy that there was Cocacola. I got my fiancé a Boba tea to go, and we decided that we will be coming back as long as we live here in CO. Can't beat good food and good service, a place that values their customers and values the food they serve. My only gripe is not really with JJ's but more about how downtown is hard to find parking, and how it's a bit confusing to get to the restaurant. It's upstairs or up elevator on the east corner of 19th and Larimer. read more

I live in Boulder but when I hit downtown Denver this is the spot for the last ten years. I spend a lot of time in Manhattan in the LES. This place has that Chinatown vide. There isn't some hipster yuppy trying to serve you so call authentic food. They now me by name and are super nice and respectful. Great price for what you are getting. When the Louisville fire ravaged that town a few years ago the owner was worried about me knowing I lived in Boulder. Great people, mad respec. read more

I frequent this place quite often. quiet with good food, friendly service, and fair priced. Sakura Square seems to be struggling-- owners are very sweet and deserve every ounce of business they can get. Please support this hidden gem. read more

JJ's Bistro is a jewel of Real Denver in the decaying hellscape that Downtown is becoming. Do you want a good portion of tasty food quickly from hard working people instead of a soulless corporation that relies on TikTok gimmicks? Then get some pick up at JJ's. No frills, just a cozy atmosphere where it feels like you're eating with family at a great value. I recommend the Green Curry Tofu (level 3 spicy), the General Tso's chicken, and the Triple Delight with Garlic Sauce. read more

Happy Family dish and Beef w/ Brocolli are excellent. On second floor of square a bit hard to find. Great service.

immaculate food, flavors, & service. hard to find delicious restaurants for suck a good price like this these days

The service is amazing and super friendly. The food is always freshly made and exactly as ordered. The best Chinese food in the city for sure. We used to live around the corner and ordered it every few weeks. Now we live 40 minutes away and make a special trip to get it. They still remember us even when it's been months since our last visit. read more

The food was inedible. Grossly overcooked sesame chicken that had very crispy, tasteless shredded chicken inside the thick breading. The egg foo young gravy was a greasy, tasteless liquid probably from the bottom of a broiler pan. The egg portion was also very crispy around the edges, tasteless, and extremely greasy. Huge waste of $50 and waiting an hour for food I could not eat was aggravating. I will never order from here again. It was disgusting. I wouldn't even feed it to a homeless dog, that would be inhumane. You couldn't pay me try it again. I'd rather starve. read more

The owners are very friendly and inviting, great place to snag lunch. I've tried many of the lunch specials over the past 3 years and they are all delicious! 2-3 spicy is where it's at, they definitely know how to spice it up at 5. You will not be dissapointed! read more

The food is local, authentic, and delicious. The staff is always polite and they provide the best service! Would recommend!

Love this place. Walked by for years, always curious. Now come in every weekend to sit, eat and have a drink with Hui (lovely owner). Love the food, love that it's kind of tucked away location. Very cute, quaint, and yummy food. Usually not very busy, which for me, is a plus. They've owned this place for 19 years. I'd say if you're in Denver and want a low-key hidden away chinese afternoon, with good food and cheap drinks, this place you must stop by! Don't be afraid to strike up a conversation with Hui! read more
