Great Chinese, some of the best in the area. Great lunch platters and takeaway is great. I love the wonton soup. The wontons are some of the best I've ever had. More of a stew blend inside a nice wrapper. To die for read more

J&P is a Hidden gem right in the CVS parking lot in Matawan! Don't let the location fool you -- this place is the real deal. Everything was fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. The portions were generous and the service was friendly and efficient. Typical non fancy dining area but welcoming nonetheless ... Best sign of all? Four Asian diners enjoying their meals while we were there -- that tells you everything you need to know, delicious, and absolutely worth the stop. A+ all the way! read more

I enjoy some good Chinese food every so often, and recently tried out this place. This was some outstanding Chinese food for sure. I loved it so much. Everything I had was delicious. I tried the egg rolls, general tso chicken, sweet & sour chicken, and pork fried rice. My favorite was the sweet & sour chicken. But, everything was very delicious. This is some top Chinese food in this area for sure. Highly recommended! read more

Food is good Service is good Ambiance is good We have been going to this place for years and have always had good experiences. read more

One of the best Chinese takeoit spots in the area. My favorites are the healthy options like steamed shrimp and broccoli...or with chicken. Their dumplings and ribs are delicious too. Their version of Happy Family is one of the best I've ever had. Overall great food at great prices!! read more

Excellent restaurant in the area if you want good tasting food. I've been going to this place for over 20 years. !!!!!!!!!!!!

The Food is consistent and always hot and fresh. One of the better General Tsos Chicken in the area. The soups have a nice flavor and I highly recommend the noodle soups they have on the menu. They are all Quart size and a slight twist to the "norms" on the menus everywhere. Service is always good and friendly, never an issue and made to feel that they appreciate my business. Inside is a moderate dining area that is an open floor plan, not separated from the counter. Enough comfortable seating to have a meal for 2 or if you have several people with you. One of the better Chinese Restaurants in the area. read more

food is excellent, I always get takeout so I dont know about the eat in experience. I love the egg rolls, and to tell the truth I have enjoyed everything I have eaten there. read more

Tried recently in a pinch, not good. Chicken and Broccoli. Chicken was rubbery and in odd looking strips. The dumplings were fair as was the egg roll. The boneless ribs were unremarkable and tough in parts. I do not rejoice in giving bad reviews but this was unavoidable. Pass read more

Nasty people work there. Food got really bad. I used to get food from there. Change to people, food got really bad

We went there thinking we would eat inside. Turned out to be a bad idea, so we took the food home with us. Paper plates and plastic cutlery are not very appealing. The dirty carpet is sorely in need of a cleaning. We asked for cups of water but were refused. They told us to buy bottled water instead. Shrimp dumpling noodle soup was tasty. The chicken in the chicken and broccoli was cut weirdly and had a odd rubbery texture. However, the sauce they were in was good. Individually wrapped fortune cookies were strangely soggy and had an off taste. read more

I ordered the general tso style shrimp and chicken combo that has broccoli and pork fried rice. It was... edible.. but not great. The chicken and shrimp were so breaded and chewy. The broccoli was almost nonexistent. I found 2 measly pieces on the bottom. I wouldn't go back again. The did take great precautions. They have a system where they don't have to come in contact with you at any point of the transaction. read more

J & P Chinese Restaurant - General Tso's Fan - Chinese Near Me - Matawan, New Jersey

Great food!!! Beef and broccoli was superb and the dumplings were delicious! Highly recommend it!

The best Chinese food in the area. The place is clean and the service is very fast whether you pick up or deliver. Everything is so tasty you can't go wrong with any item on the menu! read more

Came here many years ago and the food was great! Hadn't been back in years so I thought I'd give it a shot. Food was still good not outstanding. However they are probably the best in the area. So many other Chinese places around are routine and adequate. I recommend J&P, prices are higher than other places in the area but worth it. read more

Have eaten here for awhile. Last night we had two orders of Szechuan Beef with Scallion pancakes as an appetizer. The meals were just the right size and tasted great. I had Scallion Pancakes at a lot of places and theirs was top notch! The food was ready without a long wait even thought the place was busy. I'd highly recommend this place for the food! read more

Out of everything - my favorite is their wonton soup, it has lots of flavor. But overall everything is good! read more

We love Jp it's our favorite Chinese food in the area . Everything has tons of flavor the shrimp is always cooked great . We normally get the shrimp and broccoli , lo mien, egg rolls, dumplings and soup . read more

Ordered steamed dumplings and chicken chow mein. Dumplings were terrible and there hardly any chicken at all in the chow mein

The best noodle soup in the area! The other menu items are good too. This is my go-to place for Chinese food.

This is the 2nd time I received an entire plate of green peppers, onions, Carrots and celery in a combo of chicken and black bean sauce. BTW THIS IS DINNER NOT LUNCH. No small container of free white rice either. The chicken is barely recognizable SHREDS. The pork fried rice, well barely any pork at all! The hot & sour soup was literally just brown egg drop soup with practically nothing else in it. I was fishing to try to find any tofu, mushrooms, anything!!!! I WILL BE RETURNING YOUR PLATE OF VEGETABLES TO YOU, you obviously need them more than me if you can't afford to fill your customers plates with proper amounts of real chicken and not shreds. Because you think that you're saving yourself some money, remember, pictures and reviews like these are going to cost you more than your plate of shreds and celery will save you. You've lost a customer, I will be taking my business to BEIJING DOWN THE ROAD ON CLIFFWOOD AVENUE. read more

This was only a little better than average Chinese food. Dumplings were small, and the sauce was oddly thick, but tasty. Ribs were overcooked. Lo mein veggies were overcooked and the noodles were a little bland. General Tsao's was nice and spicy. The scallion pancakes were small for the order size, but tasty. Like I said, a little bit better than average, but not much. read more

First visit to this place, stopping for takeout today. I didn't see any combo plates like I'm accustomed to in Chinese restaurants. I ordered spicy beef and an egg roll. Food was out extremely fast. I don't think I was there five minutes. Beef dish was quite good. Strips of beef were fairly lean, mixed with peppers, celery, carrot and onion. The egg roll was disappointing. Very bland inside and not much pork. I've had way better. I'll try the food again and skip the egg roll. . read more

Ordered delivery twice so far. Delivery took over a hour the first time and 10 minutes the second. Being 5 mins away from the restaurant, the delivery speed made me feel that the food was pre-cooked and packaged like fast food when it came so quickly. Food wise, it is your typical chinese american restaurant. I ordered a chicken lo mein and fried chicken. Lo mein was pretty bland and a bit soggy but the chicken was crispy and flavored extremely well. Prices are pretty cheap for their lunch specials which comes with the main dish and soup. For the cost of the dishes, I would normally say 4 stars. Nothing amazing, but cheap, quick, and filling. Only reason I gave it a 3 star is because I tried ordering the "Chow Mein" and they told me the dish will not have noodles. This puzzled me greatly. I'm asian but I feel like you don't even need to be asian to know that "chow mein" means fried noodles. The dish actually has the word noodles in it, but she said they are different from other restaurants so no noodles. I had to drop a star because a menu saying a noodle dish doesn't have noodles makes me feel that it is lower quality than other chinese American restaurant. Should take out the word "mein" if it doesn't include it. Its like ordering Shrimp Fried Rice but there's no fried rice. Was very disappointed. read more

The best Chinese food in the area! My cousin brought me here. My first time his over a 100th. He was raving about this place the whole drive to there and then continued as the food arrived. I now understand why this place is all he talked about when I offered to bring him for lunch. I usually bring chinese food home to eat but here we were able to have a nice sit down lunch and be served by a waiter. Food was fresh and tasted the best! I think this is the only place I will order from in the furture. Im glad its a local place for me. read more

J & P Chinese Restaurant - Sauteed Fresh Zucchini - Chinese Near Me - Matawan, New Jersey

Recently moved to the area and decided to try here instead of the usual Beijing II. I must say that I like this place much better. Keep in mind, it's a local Chinese takeout spot but it's not bad. I was very pleased with the quantity of food for the price and the staff was pretty pleasant (not with a smile pleasant but not the usual, hurry up and order tone). The steamed dumplings were good but I wish the bun wasn't so thick. The filling and the sauce made up for it! Quite the treat! I would give this place 4 stars if the carried the cheesesteak egg roll. read more

Recently moved to area from Staten Island and had a hard time finding good Chinese food until we ordered from J&P. Love their pork fried dumplings! Soup noodles are fresh and crunchy. Everything else we've ordered has never disappointed! read more

They are too inconsistent to be reliable anymore. Sometimes the food will be legitimately delicious, sometimes it will be disgusting. The people who give high reviews aren't lying, I've been eating at this place once a week for about fifteen years now and I've had some amazing food but over the past few years it's more likely to really bad. Soapy beef and broccoli, chewy chicken, dry noodles, strange tastes in the egg roll, etc. Because the food is still possible to be good I'd hesitate to rate them a two instead of a three but the problem is the staff is incredibly rude. Short, snippy, always has an attitude. You even get the occasional rude comment. They never listen to what you ask for the order either. If you ask for extra sauce they'll somehow give you less than usual as if they resent the request. If you try to return the food they will argue with you that it's not bad and you're wrong, refusing to help you with anything. I could put up with a gamble on the food or rude staff, but both of them at the same time combined with increase in prices just makes the place not worth it these days. read more

If there were a zero star option I would pick that. Ordered take out tonight, got sesame wontons for an appetizer and asked 5 times if any of it had peanuts due to an allergy (albeit not severe, THANK GOD), young woman on the phone ensured me it didn't. When it arrived it is COVERED in a peanut butter sauce. Called back, got someone else, asked if there were peanuts which she responded "of course it's a peanut butter sauce" I then asked why i was lied to when I asked 5 times and they the hung up on me. WHAT A NIGHTMARE. Will never go back. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU HAVE SEVERE ALLERGIES. THEY LIE AND DONT CARE HOW IT COULD BE AN ISSUE. read more

I'm not sure why this yelp rating is so low. I order from J&P all the time. They are super consistent in terms of food quality, always deliver quickly, and the food is great. Their soups are awesome! read more

Love the food here. Have never ate at the restaurant - only takeout - so that's what my rating is for. I am Chinese and I approve of the food here they aren't the most friendliest staff but hey I'm just here to order my food and they really do have excellent fast service. I usually get the lunch special and the fried rice is delicious. I'm not a fan of the classic white washed fried rice with peas and carrots, so this place hits the spot for me. I always get sesame chicken and it exceeds expectations consistently. And you can't beat the value. I pay $7 for a lunch that lasts me two meals. For anyone complaining about cleanliness--this is a Chinese owned restaurant. If you've ever seen the restaurants in Taiwan or China, you'll think this place is clean as can be. I would never have a complaint about this place when it comes to how clean it is. So do your immune system a favor and rub some dirt in it every once in a while. read more

The food here is extremely good for a Chinese takeout. It's the best I've ever had! However, the waiter is obnoxiously rude. He makes your eating experience suck. I can see why most people would rather do take out instead of sitting down. It's very clean. I wish they would just hire a new waiter. Yes, it's the same ONE guy I see every single time. read more

Very disappointed with our order vegetable lo mein had 1 piece of broccoli in it. Boneless spareribs were tough and the $9 soup bowl had 2 dumplings and 3 tiny pieces of pork. Not worth the trip for pick up. We used to love eating at the restaurant went there several times. Definitely off our list. read more

Always good here! Staff is always cleaning. Typical Chinese take out menu. I always sit an eat at the restaurant. They have plenty of seating. Every dish I have had here has been fresh and tasty. This is my goto Chinese take out spot. It never disappoints. Been here at least 20-30 times. read more

Always consistent and made fresh. Clean store front always seating available. Friendly staff. Soups are large portions and always hit the spot! read more

As a Chinese American it's always hard to find good Chinese takeout that isn't white wasted. The quality and food are great here, super tasty with no MSG added. They have some good Chinese classics. I recommend this place. read more

J & P Chinese Restaurant - the menu - Chinese Near Me - Matawan, New Jersey

Alright, alright, alright. This is a GREAT Chinese restaurant. No joke! We went here twice just to sit down and eat dinner and the first thing you notice is that it is *clean* and it smells *fresh*! There is absolutely no greasy feel to the air or a scent that makes you want to gag. It looks like they actually take care of the restaurant and THAT I really admire! The first time I was there, I ordered a bowl of wonton soup and chicken chow fun. The broth for the wonton soup is fabulous. It's so flavorful! They give you like four wontons in there, too! I only wish there was a bit more meat in the wonton, but that's just my opinion! The chicken chow fun (thick wide noodles) are amazing. Amazing. Definitely eat their noodles. I think I'd go for their beef chow fun or the one that has the beef, chicken, and shrimp next time. I tried a bit of the beef chow fun off my mom's plate and it was... amazing. Second time I went there I ordered another bowl of wonton soup (review stays the same! It was awesome!) and instead of getting noodles, I got the staple general tso's with white rice. Holy smokes! Amazing! The chicken is so crispy and there isn't any sort of weird grissly pieces that you would find. The sauce is a perfect combination of sweet and spicy. They give you a giant bowl of white rice to go along with it! The egg rolls are huge and awesome! I feel like they make 'em there! I honestly can't wait until I go back. They give you a giant portion of food that is great for the price! Go, go, go! read more
