So glad I tried this place. The amount of food you get with the lunch combo specials is amazing and I had so many leftovers. The fried rice, breaded shrimp, noodles, pork bbq and the chicken wings were delicious! Even the sushi i got was decent. My least favorite items were the crab stuffed shell and the pork ribs. Overall, I would come back here to get the lunch special combos as they are stuffed and so filling! read more

I remember coming here as a kid back when it was all you can eat. I just moved pretty close by and my plumber said he loved this place so I figured I could give it a try again. We got 2 plates and we ended up spending more than I thought I would. Which was a bummer at first since I imagined this place as being a good go to for "cheap" Chinese food. When we got the plates everything made sense, the portions were HUGE. When he handed me the bag I was like "Whoa! this is heavy." Then we opened it up and I saw that they packed the plates. We would have been fine with 1 plate to share. We ate these plates over 3 meals. We got fried rice, chow mein, chicken wings, beef broccoli and bbq pork. The wings and chow mein were slightly better than average. My husband enjoyed the beef broccoli but the fried rice and bbq pork was just ok to me. Not horrible, but nothing to write home about. I would probably give this place a 3.7/5 stars because I don't think it's a solid 4, but I have to round up since rating partial stars isn't a thing on yelp. Overall, I could see is coming back again. Also keep in mind, there's no bathroom or indoor seating area. They have outdoor patio seating and a window you order from. read more

Food was good years ago now the kids of the owner are in charge and service by phone is horrible they can't even help if you ask for menu questions the young Asian lady with glasses is super rude if you call back nicely saying the food wasn't good looking and good taste she block You number another friends stop buying from there because of that I hope the father the educated and gentle man read this and fix all this issues who she thinks she is acting like that's raising the voice to customers read more

Always good food and the portions are crazy. My favorite is their chow main, they are the best noodles.

Used catering service for a few parties. Very convenient, good value, they are on top of it and very punctual. Salt & Pepper wings & fried rice are our go to. read more

You get a lot of food for the price! I ended up making 3 meals out of the one I ordered. The quality is what you pay for for fast Chinese food read more

Our go-to for fried rice and salt and pepper chicken wings. Easy pre order and pickup may deal with a rude but worth it. I've seen this get devoured at events but leftovers are usually at boring events...that's all. read more

The workers are very mean and treated me very disrespectful.. the meat taste like fake meat

Love their chow mein, portions a huge. Its a take out only spot. But the food is good. Staff need to be more friendly though. And a little housekeeping is needed. Seating area on the outside need some care. read more

This place's stars isn't doing them Justice! The food was fresh and flavor was on point. Been looking for a while for Chinese food like this. Broccoli Beef, Orange Chicken, Sesame Chicken, General Tso, Mongolian Beef, egg rolls, ramen, etc. (tried it!!!!). It's on point!!! read more

Delicious food and good service love it there everything is so fresh and even better when taking out the servings a huge

I don't usually leave bad reviews, but my experience at JI China House was unacceptable. A miscommunication over takeout box sizes led to us being overcharged, and when we politely questioned it, the woman with glasses became defensive and yelled at me in front of other customers. Her tone was rude and unprofessional, and it was honestly embarrassing. The food was just okay, but the poor customer service ruined the whole experience. If this is how management allows their employees to act, especially toward paying customers, I won't be returning. That employee should not be dealing with the public, period. read more

Do not go buy food here. They serve me undercooked Sweet & sour pork ribs. It taste gross. Undercooked and taste like oil. Worse, you won't get refund. If you don't care how your food taste, you should close down. Karma will get you read more

Food is good but there's this lady with glasses in the front that takes orders that has a messed up attitude. When you ask her a question it bothers her, she shouldn't be in the front servicing people with that attitude. read more

First time here for takeout--unexpectedly and unbelievably excellent!! Ordered the chop suey and garlic shrimp.... Intended to order the medium sizes for both dishes, but the price difference for a large was very little especially when compared to the difference in the amount of food you get. Total cost was super low and dishes tasted fantastic!! Great value meal at a bargain price -- highly recommend!! read more

The person that answers the phone needs customer service skills or phone etiquette classes. Both times we've called to order food -to-go the same cranky lady answers the phone and seems bothered when asked any type of questions. This used to be our favorite place but we will never get food from there again. You don't have to be so darn rude to customers! read more

Horrible customer service, person that picked up the phone was being rude and unprofessional and spoke with attitude after asking a simple question. read more

Amazing food, decent service.... Will never stop eating here!!! I miss their buffet! The best Chinese food in the city!

I ordered Uber eats from here because I was craving fresh vegetables but a lot something hot with noodles since it's still winter and I'm always cold! Haha. This place did not disappoint and I paid the extra few bucks for my driver to bring it straight to my house so food was hit and fresh! They have huge portions here so even though you're paying $15-$20 for entrees, they do give you your money's worth! The chow menu noodles are really good and the chop suet vegetables too. I ordered sesame balls and a side of white rice with the entree which I'll be eating for days now but it's so good! I like the food here very much and will order from here again! read more

Delicious food, they need to expand their business. It was a very long wait and people waiting awhile, parking is not great at all

Always stop here when I'm in the area. Some of the best Chinese food I've had. Now my wife is hooked, she doesn't really like Chinese food but she loves this place. read more

Very good Chinese food. They have completely closed dining in and now have a window to order and a separate window for picking up. The wait time was short and the food is always fresh! The portions are huge! Definitely one of our favorites. read more

FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition fhdcomplaints@sdcounty.ca.gov There is no doubt the place is good but full of roaches. I dont know why they still open. I went there 7/31/22 at 3pm it was crowded and slow rude af cashiers they took my order (72) and it was a big plate half noodles half rice and garlic shrimp in the other side. A small white square side of calamari & a small portion side of orange chicken. I live far from there when i arrived i only got noodles and chicken wtf & of course they dont give out receipt so i called and they ignored my call then in the next morning the lady who speak spanish named diddy or something like that asked me to go and get what i was missing. I went there and an ugly rude lady started calling me a lier and she was like "take this" and idk was there it was suspicious so i just asked for my money back plus gas money and nada. All they gave me was "cero fcks" no food and no refund. A waste of gas and time and my ability to communicate because they cant listen to you they just yell. read more

Love this place! I have been going with my family for years and the staff are so nice. When ordering take out, the plates are FILLED to the top, meaning they aren't stingy when serving you! Great food for great price. Food can be a bit greasy but that's a given due to a lot of it being drenched in sauce or baked. read more

Awesome shrimp egg fu yong!!!! I highly recommend this place The food is freshly cooked. Not just sitting under a heat lamp

It wasn't bad, but I've had better. Wait time was longer than anticipated, too. I think driving to Golden Chopsticks in National City would be my preference since it's not that far. read more

The food was unsavory, the crunchy roll was all rice no crab and I ordered a medium rice and I received a small. A bit expensive for the lack of flavor and portion. Disappointed on quality and quantity. read more

The portions are worth the price but the taste is nothing extraordinary. I like their salt and pepper chicken. Since the inflation, of course prices are going up but they still manage to keep it cost efficient. The menu says 5 chicken wings for $5 but they have me 7 pieces for $5. I think because the other two wings were small read more

The boyfriend and I were hungry and we wanted a Chinese buffet. We found this little restaurant on yelp and the pictures showed a plethora of food. We came on a random Saturday afternoon around 3pm and it was packed! There were people waiting and the parking lot was starting to get full. We waited for a few minutes and they asked us if we wanted a communal table - seeing how we were hungry, we agreed to it. They sat us down and they asked us what drinks we wanted. We ordered and then off we went. The area where you grab your food is a very very tight space. There were lots of people surrounding the food and at the same time those who wanted to go was also being helped at the same time. There were a lot of fried items - chicken wings, crab, shrimp and then there were your run of the mill items like beef with broccoli, four types of sushi and the like. Even though the space was small, there was a lot of choices. In addition, they have a dessert section too - fruits, and some pastries like cookies. I had the fried shrimp and fried chicken. The shrimp was good and so was the chicken - the first time around. After a second helping of chicken, I noticed that it was saltier. So I moved on to some veggies, which was cooked perfectly and not over cooked. The bbq pork was flavorful and some had crispy bits, which I liked. There was kung pao chicken that wasn't salty and there were a lot of chicken pieces in it. I also ate some noodles, which was flavorful. I wanted to try the crab but that was a lot of work and I was getting full from all the fried items. Overall it was a pretty inexpensive place with decent food. Would I come back? Only if i was in the area. read more

Just a heads up, there is no sit down option.... it's to go out delivery only. The Staff is still nice though.

The "large" servings are very large. Delicious. Very reasonable prices. We fed 7 adults and 4 kids with a couple days of leftovers for $100. Try the Chili Rellanos. Quite tasty. read more

Placed an order by phone and was appalled by the customer service. The woman who answered the phone was immensely rude; half way through taking my order she became hostile and I was extremely thrown off by her attitude. If employees are having a bad day they shouldn't take it out on their customers. Good customer service is what keeps people coming back. I felt disrespected & will no longer give them my business. read more
