We went to Joss tonight for the first time. THE GOOD Easy parking. Quiet atmosphere. One of the best appetizers I've ever had: Eggplant Chips Crisp slices of Asian eggplant topped with savory diced Yu Shiang eggplant. Their upscale take on brown rice was pretty wonderful: Heirloom Multigrains Unprocessed heirloom multigrains cooked in a clay pot to heighten its natural aroma. THE BAD Aside from the two dishes mentioned above, we found the other entrees to be unremarkable. Service was also unremarkable. One overworked waiter was handling the entire dining room, so service was not swift. Took 10 minutes 'til the brown rice equivalent I ordered finally appeared--and I had to remind him to bring it. I asked for an iced tea. He said he'd check to see if it was available. Never got back to me about it. The waiter had not a shred of warmth or personality. read more

Joss Cuisine's Maine Lobster Cantonese is one of the best Cantonese-style lobster dishes. The lobster was fresh, sweet, and perfectly cooked, while the ginger-scallion sauce was fragrant. The homemade egg noodles soaked up the lobster sauce. read more

I came in with pretty low expectations, but Joss Cuisine completely exceeded them. The Tangerine Beef was the standout perfectly crispy, flavorful, and easily the dish I'd recommend ordering. What really made the experience memorable, though, was the staff. Everyone was genuinely warm, kind, and welcoming. Great food paired with great service is always a winning combination. I'll definitely be back! read more

I found Joss Cuisine on open table while looking for a unique restaurant for Valentine's Day! Upon arrival, it was a full restaurant. Very small restaurant however they have different sections and felt more comfortable in the seating area we were placed. We weren't greeted right away due to them being SO busy however, once we were greeted the staff was very apologetic about the wait and asked for our patience due to a busy night. I appreciated that it was acknowledged bc we also had a reservation. I like the menu and we ordered the wonton soup, hot and sour soup, pineapple wok fried rice, Mongolian beef and long beans. Everything was enjoyed however my boyfriend didn't enjoy the hour and sour soup so it was swapped for the wonton. The wonton soup was yummy. The only thing that I would've adjusted was the heat of the food. Everything except for the soup was just warm. The servers were hospitable and made sure that we had a great experience. We will return for a second visit. If you're looking for an intimate lunch or dinner date this is your place. read more

The best Peking Duck ever. The mustard prawns were fabulous; a creamy sauce with just the right amount of Chinese mustard. The mixed vegetables had the best tofu-creamy on the inside and crisp on the outside. The service was so friendly-family owned and run? It is a bit of a whole in the wall but well worth the trip, and reasonable prices. read more

We went to Joss specifically for the Peking duck which had been recommended to us by a friend, and it did not disappoint! It was probably the best duck we have ever had. The skin was super crispy, the meat was plentiful, moist and not at all fatty, the pancakes were thin and held together well, and the plum sauce was tasty. The half portion is enough for 2 people if you order a couple other dishes with it. We also had the shrimp dumplings off the dim sum menu, and the shrimp inside was a bit overcooked but still tasty. The pineapple fried rice was bland and I'd probably skip that next time. The restaurant is divided into 3 noncontiguous sections, as if it had started in one place and then expanded several times. We were seated in a room that looked like a spaceship with bolted on black wall panels, and a circular ceiling with many paper lanterns hanging down. At first it felt very strange but we warmed up to it. The atmosphere is casual, and the service was ok. Perfect for a weekday dinner. read more

The food was good. Ordered Shrimp dumpling and, Pork dumpling. Crispy eggplant was not crispy at all and, had a bitter taste. We also ordered crispy fish which was nice. The Shrimp fried rice was dry but, our server was kind and, made us a new one. Reason for four stars is Our server was by himself the resturant was busy. He did not have time to come back to ask if we needed more water. Also I did not like the fact that there was a small bug in my plate just as I sat down. It would be nice if they could remove the oil spsots from the chair coushins. Good luck if you can find street parking. read more

Perhaps one of the more authentic Chinese restaurants around. Quite small maybe a bit too much so. Beer, wine and sake, along with teas sodas and such. We like the smaller dishes, more on the order of dim sum . Lots to like on the menu for sure I think I personally prefer lunch over dinner, service runs hot and cold but they try.Btw parking can be challenging and that's why 4 read more

Delicious dinner at Joss. It's our regular go to for the Chinese food fix. Walter gives us great service and I like the retro design with the lanterns. The crispy roast duck is smoky and delicious and has great texture. Mongolian beef and Mapo tofu is yummy as is beef with shiitake, Dan Dan mien noodles, hot and sour soup, and of course the dim sum. Great job as usual and we look forward to our next visit!!! read more

Amazing food and service ! The best in the area! Lobster with rice noodles are top notch!

A hidden gem in Beverly Hills!! The Peking duck is a must have!!! The skin is so crispy and love the wrap. The mustard prawns with noodles is also very good. Actually, everything on the menu is good. Please ask for Walter, he is so nice and very attentive. Plenty of street parking along Santa Monica Blvd. read more

The ginger-vinegar cod was so good, I was torn between two choices, to lick the plate... or to pretend I have manners. lol

Enjoyed a lovely evening with friends at Joss Cuisine! It was my first time here, my friend reserved a room up stairs which had its own bathroom. Highly recommend if you have a large party. The food was excellent and the service was as well! There were several courses, all of which were great! A few stand outs were the squash crab soup and the Lobster. Both are a must next time you go. Great way to celebrate Chinese New Year! Thanks Joss! Parking: street, metered read more

I love this place. Upscale Chinese food and a chill atmosphere. Just did a fam dinner here and we were all so happy afterwards! You must get their Peking duck. If you're really going for it, they do lobster super well too. Mustard prawns might be the best dish! Start with shrimp toast and eggplant chips--great first bites. Shout out to Walter for being an attentive server as always! read more

May be the best Chinese food in Beverly Hills. Much better than the competitor. The quality is great- food comes out hot and fresh. Wontons in spicy sauce Spicy prawn Soup dumplings Eggplant chips All unbelievable. Glad I walked in here and will be back read more

Food is fine but service needs serious attention. Mediocre Chinese food serving West LA; for the premium price, the restaurant should at least provide attentive service. read more

JC is a cute little Chinese restaurant on little Santa Monica Blvd across from the Penninsula Hotel. We ordered the chop suey, chicken cashew veggies, wonton soup and Hot n sour soup. The food was made fresh and taste GREAT!! We opted out onions and garlic to taste the real food. Restaurants these days are smart now, since people today love to eat onions and garlic, so chefs now would just soak everything in onions and garlic to cover up the unfreshness of the food. Lucky for me that I don't like onions and garlic, so if the food is not fresh, they can't hide!! A big thumbs up for JC, the food was awesome and the service was great. It was a busy night with a party upstairs, but they managed well!! read more

They are the only restaurant I know of that makes the Peking Turkey for Thanksgiving. Paid for pre sliced and told it would be fresh and warm and skin crispy when I arranged for my 12 noon pick up. Opened it up right when we got home 15 minutes later and thought I had received the wrong order as this looked like just a regular roasted Turkey. What a disappointment! I can't believe I paid $90 for this turkey. The sticky rice was good. The pancakes are the flour kind that taste like a flour tortilla, too thick and dry. Luckily I bought extra think crepe pancakes from the Chinese market in the frozen section that are exceptional. Part of my problem with the turkey besides it lookin like you regular roasted Turkey, the skin was soggy and soft (reconstituted in the air fryer) and the way this turkey was carved was all thick and chunky which does not honor the Peking experience. The turkey should have been carved thin to match the crepes. Never again. Can literally roast a turkey at home the same way and get all accoutrements. If you are Chinese, you can definitely do this. I'm kind of embarrassed as a Chinese American that I fell for this. read more

All was good, a favorite restaurant of ours for decades. Always an enjoyable meal and high quality ingredients.

Everything was delicious especially the Hong Kong chicken, the egg plant chips, crab and noodles, m duck - and the chocolate cake! I think the owner was the person helping us and she was a perfect host. The ingredients are top quality and result in wonderfully flavored food that tastes like it was made just for you with Not-oily, light and bright combinations. The dim sum offerings were perfect bites and the exterior of the bao was light and fluffy. The dining area is small, so think ahead and make your reservation. Look for street parking and you'll be in for a delightful time. read more

We were in Los Angeles, totally doing the tourist thing. We had a carload of family, getting hungry and looking for good options, right as we hit Beverly Hills. With no plan in mind we pulled in to the first open parking spot and literally stumbled upon this great gem. The restaurant has patio dining and a few different inside options. We were quickly seated, not prepared for the amazing, fresh, tasty Asian cuisine that we were about to enjoy. The server was pretty much working alone and was super incredible, she helped us pick out meals, food for the kids and we enjoyed a great lunch. Can't say enough about Joss and I would definitely recommend to those in the neighborhood. We weren't sure if our kids would enjoy it, but they loved it. Go Joss! read more

Kinda secret gem on Lil' Santa Monica. They really struggled the last couple of years with hours and responsiveness, but they'd stepped it up and are much more prompt and helpful. Price is a tad steep, but what do you expect around here, especially for this good of quality? More folks in Century City should give this spot a change. read more

cute spot that i've passed by and always wanted to try so came in for some late dim sum with my bf. we were the only patrons so we're immediately seated outside and received recommendations based on what we were looking to eat. the food was ok. as someone that hails from nyc and has eaten dim sum for most of their life the flavor profile wasn't really matching what i was expecting. overall the preparation and freshness of the food is there but the taste (for most the dishes) not so much. best thing we order was most def the shrimp dumplings and chicken & fig soup. i ordered a cup of the soup to go! spring rolls- large portioned, preparation great and the crunch is great. flavor was bland though soup dumplings- tasty but the dough is too thick and not very soupy. it is fresh though char siu bao- preparation great. dough is fluffy but not enough filling to balance the dish string beans- pretty soggy and bland. honey glazed spar ribs- preparation and freshness great, the meat falls off the bone. but not so flavorful chicken & fig soup- shrimp dumpling- great! in addition since we were the only patrons it seems like they forgot about us a lot of the time. and there were a couple of slip ups in terms of service (dropped plate, nearly got crushed by the umbrella shade, forgetting ordered items). really wanted to like this place and would like to come back and try other items on the menu to redeem itself. but in terms of the dim sum. still on the hunt for a great place here in LA. read more

First the food: authentic Peking Duck - outstanding. 4 sauces with homemade Plum Sauce and pancakes for a delight in every bite experience. That was only part of our tasting feast. Singapore Noodles, Shrimp sumai, vegetable spring rolls and a wonderful wine what a treat! Second the service: Walter made the night so fun and delicious. He helped with ordering and was so gracious. A real professional. Environment: Elegantly setting and very clean and safe. They treated us with small personally wrapped towel-lets. We were so impressed and will be back with friends and family.

Generally there is a lack of good authentic Chinese food on the westside. Joss is one of the few exceptions. Along with newly open Din Tai Fung, Sichuan Impression and Meizhou Dongpo. Joss is the most cozy and attentive in service among these options. The food is mainly Cantonese style with several dim sum options as well as lunch special entrees. I'd highly recommend the lunch special and adding on 2 dim sum items for a very healthy and filling meal. It's a great place for a business lunch. I try to stop by whenever I'm in the area for a meeting. read more

It's been many years since I went to this restaurant because the last time I ordered take out I was given another person's order and didn't know it until I got home. That time they told me to just keep what I had received even though it had many things we did not eat. Because the restaurant is conveniently located I thought I'd try take out again. The food was inedible, it tasted like chemicals and they made mistakes with the order. First, they charged me $6 for brown rice, but gave me white rice. Overcharging me +$3 for brown, while $3 for tiny white rice is already an overpricing for that item was not acceptable. The mustard prawns for $32 were inedible since the noodles they came on tasted like they had been dipped in chemicals. The only thing that tasted good in the over soy sauced Cashew Chicken were the cashews. The Siu Mai was good and the shrimp toast had a weird taste, also like chemicals. To add insult to injury, when I picked up the order I could see the bag sitting on the counter, but the guy at the door decided to give a tour of the restaurant to a woman who had asked for a take out menu. Ok, she was there first, but when he came back a couple walked up and he chose to seat them inside the restaurant before giving me my food, that was not ok. It's customary for people to receive service in the order they arrived. If the food had been good I would've forgotten about it, but for more than $100 for 4 dishes of Chinese food I expect better all the way around. I guess I just forgot the reason I don't go to this restaurant. I certainly won't forget why again. read more

A small and intimate, 8 table little place. Outside, a box. Inside, nicely and simply decorated with a mural on a back wall, chinese art along the wall upstairs (more seating, 4 tables). If it weren't for the white tableclothes, I would likely think I was in Torrance, not BH. The lunch menu is small, and unconventional. The dinner menu is also small, but robust with unique dining options. It's simply a 2 column list of entrees. No waste of time with appetizers, salads, soups, and what nots. Here's what I had: 1. Shrimp Wonton Soup ($7.50) - 2 fresh and beautiful, long-tailed wontons filled with shrimp meat, fresh noodles, bok choy, and scallons. Wonderful. (4.5 stars) 2. Dim Sum Quintets - beautiful presentation of a fried potsticker, egg roll, and 3 individual bamboo containers filled with other dim sum. Drizzled on the side with chili sauce, chinese mustard, and plum sauce. (4.5 stars) 3. Chili Pepper Rice Noodles with Chicken ($12.50) - again, fresh rice noodles, topped with ground and spiced chicken. Flavorful! Yet small. (4.5 stars) 4. Glazed Cashew Chicken ($15) - glazed cashews were awesome, diced chicken just okay, and again, very small. Simply made with diced celery, gets a pass. (3.0 stars) Authentic is in the name, but is it real and in the game? 99% Chinese clientele should mean something, and waitstaff who barely speak English is another. I am in foreign territory, so I oblige. French music, although lovely, gets a big question mark...and doesn't transport me to China. Service is a little slow, can't get in and out in an hours lunchtime -- beware. Reservations highly recommended. read more

Came here with a girlfriend on a Wednesday since I was close by in Beverly Hills. We didn't have a reservation but figured at 5:30pm when they opened, we wouldn't need to wait for 2 people. Most of the downstairs tables were reserved, so I chose what I thought was the best 2 person option (the table up by the cash register). The other options were next to the staircase and at the bottom of the staircase. I'm not sure what the upstairs looked like but it was a pretty small space downstairs. We ordered the chicken shiu mai, soup dumplings, har gow, Peking duck and ginger scallion noodles. The dim sum was good (soup dumplings at Din Tai Fung are still better, and cheaper too I think, but there was no vinegar on the table at Joss, even though we got ginger). Shiu mai and har gow were tasty. The Peking duck comes with wraps (not buns), which I was fine with and prefer (less carbs), and was very tasty. This was my favorite dish and it's a good amount of food. We also ordered the ginger scallion noodles which were ok (the ginger scallion noodles at Momofuku in Vegas were better). Overall it was a good meal, a bit expensive for Chinese food but it is located in Beverly Hills, so I wasn't expecting less. If I was in the area and craved Peking duck I'd come back! read more

Sadly this place changed employees and now orders are wrong every single time. When you call you ask for managers who are (not surprisingly) never there. It's too frustrating ordering from this place. After 4-5x of the issue not being fixed I'm sad to say this is my last order. Best of luck to this company getting their act straight. read more
