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!

Fried rice is kinda plain but has good flavor, I suspect that you could bump it up by requesting some added veggies but I am satisfied with plain fried rice with a protein. Quick and easy ordering, parking lot is ample and wait time is usually exactly what they say it will be. Not a dine in restaurant so ambiance is okay for a take out restaurant. We go here once or twice a month and never have any issues.

I was in town and wanted some good Chinese food. China Gardens came highly recommended by a friend…read moreI trust, and after today I was reminded exactly why I trust her! This is basically a take out spot. The customer service was really good. The lady who helped me was funny, nice, and super helpful. As you can see from the picture, the portion sizes are hefty. The price point is pretty good as well. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious! Even with them being busy, the wait time was good. Very small dining area with maybe one table, but primarily a few chairs to wait on your to-go order. I'm not sure what else y'all want me to say. Run don't walk and thank me later!

What's hot - Menu. It's a pretty extensive menu- meats, veggies, tofu, maybe even for vegans. - Service. For ordering food for a family of 6, our order was ready in about 20 minutes. Everything was properly wrapped up. Nothing was missing. When I gave them the name for our order, everything was ready. They're also open during major American holidays, such as Christmas and New Year's, which is very helpful. - Location. Pretty easy to find in a small plaza with other shops. When we went on Christmas Day, all their tables and chairs were pushed to the side, so I'm uncertain whether they're currently doing table service or if it's just take away orders. - Price. Very reasonable, especially given the portions. If you order a quart, versus a pint, it's less than $10, which includes white rice. What's not - Quality. As a child of immigrant parents, who grew up in Silicon Valley, CA, where there is a large community of Chinese immigrants, I can say that this is not authentic Chinese food. It's catered for the local American population. The flavor and seasoning of the food is very generic. For example the difference between my spicy garlic tofu and vegetable delight was only the tofu. All the vegetables between the two dishes were literally the same, including the sauce/taste. With that said, it's not terrible. For Americanized Chinese food, it works. Final Answer Wouldn't be my first choice for quality Chinese food, but it's reliable.

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.

In NH for the same price you could feed a family of four and the food would have bigger portions. This? It could probably feed two children if you get the beef chow mein with rice ( the rice portion is the size of a palm ) and the beef is chewy and rubbery and thinly sliced. The sauce and its squeakiness makes my stomach curdle. And the chicken fingers are the size of my literal fingers themselves! Terribly overpriced, it was not at all enjoyable and I feel like I wasted my money. Never ordering here again.
