    Shrimp Fried Rice w/7 piece Braised Chicken Wings
    Jah'leel L.

    Hello, Everyone I Am someone who has come to this great city of Columbia due to work. In the mood for some Chinese I come across them special Gem "Peking Wok II", and may I say they did not disappoint. The customer service was 10/10 especially her going over the menu with me being a first timer . I decided to get the Shrimp Fried Rice w/7 Braised Chicken Wings... omg ! The food was amazing, fresh, and full of flavor . Might I add I ordered 7 and ended up with 8 chicken wings. On top of that she told me the food would be ready in 10 mins and she kept her word. With all that being said I washed it down with a Large homemade lemonade and it was amazingly good. I will be back !

    Amazing Chinese food! Once I move from up North to the South I always said how hard it is to find good quality Chinese food and I think I've finally found it! The food is super tasty and fresh. I got the lunch special with chicken and broccoli and substituted plain white rice and spring roll. The chicken was wight meat and wasn't fatty like some places. The sauce was rich but not overpowering. Also, the broccoli still had a nice crunch to it. My favorite part was the rice, yes plain white rice. It was nice and fluffy, I could eat it on its on. The spring roll was average as it was a little on the small side and little filling (forgot to take picture). I've had better but it was still tasty. Everything was piping hot and tasted great! When I went to pick up my call in order there were plenty on people waiting and more coming or calling in. The two young ladies were working hard to get everyone's order out. The inside is very clean and there's plenty of seating if you prefer to dine in. The prices are great and you get plenty of food. Definitely a quick lunch option if you're in the area.

    No frills counter with hardly any menu.

    Pure definition of the American-style Chinese food take out establishment, though they do have seating for you if your tiny heart desires. Strip mall location just down from Food Cheetah which provides ample parking to go along with the ample portion sizes served. Called in a lunch special order and received the standard "10 minute" response, which I love. Our order took about 15 minutes, but I was able to watch the wokmaster get jiggy with it as I waited, which was nice. Their lunch specials are like $5.65 plus tax and include fried rice (no meat), and your choice of either an eggroll or an iced tea/lemonade. Run with the eggroll homie...you don't wanna be gettin' no sweet tea from a Chinese joint. HUGE portions served up hot and freshly made. It's totally no frills inside and had the most limited in-house menu board I've ever seen in a place like this. No worries though as they have paper takeout menus you can look over before you order if you wish. No WiFi, but the State Board of Health has rated them with an A (as you can see with the sign on the door) and you can see right into the kitchen, so that's a good thing if you like to know you're getting food from a tidy restaurant. They also have separate male and female bathrooms if you need one. If you're looking for a great value on American style Chinese food, I doubt you'll do better anywhere else in all of Columbia. This place is cheap, it's clean, it's fast, and it's good. Pick up the celly and dial Hammerhead.

    I ordered honey chicken and crab Rangoon's. The food was awful honey chicken was hard and tasted disgusting. The crab Rangoon were gooey and the filling tasted off. I will not be back.

    Just okay. Rice was very very bland. It just tasted like white rice but looked brown. Onions are barely cooked and still flavorless. Pork egg rolls were okay, lots of cabbage and not really any pork. We ordered the fried dumplings but I think we got the fried wontons because it was a different crunch. They were good and I'd order them again but the sauce isn't great. The crab Rangoon is basically just very sweet cream cheese. Got very hard quickly. The beef with mixed veggies (no veggies) was very fatty. It wasn't good at all, Had to spit most of it out. The sweet and sour chicken is fine, I think it tastes the same at every restaurant so no complaints on that. The food was hot and they were very quick. Very nice too. $24 total for all of it. Pricey and not satisfied

    I was shocked and impressed by the quality of Americanized Chinese food here. We got the boneless spare ribs, general tsos chicken, broccoli beef, and steamed dumplings. All were good, some was exceptionally so. The highlight was the general tsos which was perfectly crispy and surprisingly spicy which I love for this dish. Also, not to be overlooked were the eggrolls that come with the entrees. Very nice as well. Also, the place is cheap. Bottom line is even my very picky NYer wife gave this place the thumbs up which she almost never does for Chinese outside of her home state. Definitely worth trying...

    I got the Mongolian Chicken dinner combo. Way more food than I can eat. It's spicier than other Chinese places but super delicious.

    General tso chicken, sesame chicken, crab rangoons.

    Yum! Tried this place for the first time and it didn't disappoint! I gave it five stars because the egg rolls were actually delicious! Not super greasy or soggy and no raw dough on the inside. And the filling itself tasted fresh. I usually hardly eat eggrolls but actually finished this one! Ordered sesame chicken and General tso chicken, both also tasted super fresh and were piping hot! Rice was delish and didn't taste like it had been sitting in a warmer all day. Crab rangoons were nicely fried, not too greasy, and tasty! Overall: delish eggrolls, fresh food, good fry that wasn't too greasy, and everything piping hot! Everything you want in your takeout Chinese!

    I was really excited to try JJ Tea House. It's not everyday you encounter an authentic Taiwanese…read morerestaurant. Walking in, the restaurant is spacious. You order first and then the food is brought to your table. I liked the causal concept. I ordered chili wontons and a salt and pepper porkchop. The chili wontons were delicious. The salt and pepper porkchop showed up to my table and I immediately thought wait this is not correct. I clarified with the staff member and she told me it was indeed a salt and pepper porkchop. Well a salt and pepper is traditionally deep fried so I wasn't sure what I was looking at. I accepted it and although it was not what I was expecting, it was an incredible meal. I thought they gave too much white rice but the overall presentation was beautiful. The minced pork over the rice and the steamed egg were perfect accompaniments. I ordered a milk tea to go and it was only okay. The boba was cooked too long as they were very soft. Softer than they should be. Otherwise, this was a solid choice to dine in the area.

    JJ's Tea House has been a staple for years and I am so glad I finally got a chance to try them…read more Their pork based broth is so flavorful and perfectly balanced. Their noodles have a great texture to them and make their soups absolutely standout from the rest. The shrimp bao buns have great texture and flavor! The staff is friendly and the service is quick! I had my order to go but the interior is nice. You can tell it's a mom and pop shop and it truly feels like someone's grandmother is making the food back there. I'm looking forward to my next visit to dine in!

    A friend and I went here because she had seen some comments on Columbia foodies about how great the…read morefood was. We came in last minute and it was packed. But we were able to get a table fairly quickly. We ordered the Vietnamese spring rolls, which by far for the highlight of the evening. The sauce is addictive and I could have eaten three orders of these. My friend ordered the spider roll and I ordered the volcano roll and the Palmetto roll. The Palmetto roll had honey on it, which I didn't think about but the sweet mixed with the fish was not my thing. The volcano roll was absolutely delicious but know that it's pretty heavily covered in the mayo and eel sauce so if you don't want a ton of extra calories, you could ask for it on the side. My friend spider roll was super fishy. I'm glad we went, but not sure that it would be worth a trip back. The restaurant was clean and nice, but the bathroom has seen better days and there was blood on the walls so it was just really weird. Luckily went to the restroom at the end of the evening. So it didn't impact my appetite.

    The food is actually good here, but we came and had some of the worst service in post COVID memory…read more We ordered an appetizer, and the tables behind, and to the side of us both had their orders messed up, so after close to 1 hour (no exaggeration) we never had a drink refill or our actual meal put in. We politely went to the bar and said in the most polite way possible that we needed to pay for these reasons, and I still tipped......because I am not a dirt bag. It still took another 10 minutes to pay. I am leaving off the name of the server, because people may need the money, but I am pretty sure that the staff and team know who it is, and the problem can be fixed by servers actually writing down orders, so that mistakes are less common, and staff covering down for others. I will happily update this review if I go back in a year or something and they have these easy, and almost cost neutral solutions implemented.
