    Sesame Tofu and Veggie Lomein

    Chens will always be my go to chinese food. Anytime I'm back in Columbia it's the first thing I want. I've tried to find equivalents to their tofu but I never can. As a half vegetarian family and half meat eater family this place is perfect for us. Their sesame tofu is above any other tofu i've tried and is a better price. It's sweet, crispy, chewy and so flavorful. Their lomein is heaping and also very flavorful. One serving of tofu and their vegetable lomein is enough for my family of 5. Their dining room space is typically closed ever since covid. We typically always order it for take out because of this but we had some friends with us so we called and asked if we could eat in. The lady was very nice and accommodating and cleared a space in the closed dining room for us. If I could give them a 10/5 stars I would.

    Food and service was great. We eat here at least 2 times a month. I have never had anything bad and it's always been fresh and hot. Good service and friendly people.

    Service was great and food was excellent! I could've used more shrimp but I understand stand prices are up now. I had a lot of juice in the bottom of my bag. Idk why they have plastic everywhere. But it's good food check them out. Decent pricing.

    Sweet and sour chicken

    Alright...gave this spot two chances and ended up sick both times. Thought it was a fluke the first time, but clearly not. We tried the sweet and sour chicken and the orange chicken. Orange chicken was soggy and could really use more orange peel which really gives it the authentic orange flavor. Sweet and sour was fine, but their fried rice is greasy and lacks flavor. I will compliment their crab Rangoon though as they were tasty and creamy.

    Sesame chicken. Just needs some more veggies to go with it.

    This is a solid take-out Chinese spot! I had the sesame chicken and was very satisfied. I'll definitely be back to try out some other options. I called in my order and it was ready in 15 minutes.

    Literally drove 5 minutes up the road and started throwing up the food up. No clue what I ate. I won't be back.

    Went to have the buffet, but they have discontinued it. After they finish the remodeling, I will try to dine in a la cart.

    Not great. Fried rice not great. Boneless spare ribs not so good. Chicken wings could be better too. Underwhelmed...

    They do a dam good job! Although the menu looks the same as most places, the quality is well above par.

    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!

    JJ's Tea House is one of my favorite lunch spots in Columbia! We stopped by on a Monday afternoon…read moreand it wasn't too busy. Service was quick, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming--especially thanks to the owner, who is absolutely adorable and always greets guests with a big smile. I ordered the unagi rice bowl, and it was amazing. The eel was cooked perfectly--tender with just the right amount of char--and the sauce had a great balance of sweet and savory. The steamed egg is one of my favorite sides. We also tried the crispy tofu appetizer and the popcorn chicken rice bowl. The tofu was super crispy and flavorful, though the popcorn chicken could use a touch more seasoning. To top it all off, I had a green tea with boba, and the boba was cooked perfectly as always--soft and chewy with just the right texture. Highly recommend JJ's for a cozy lunch with delicious food and friendly service!
