    String Bean with Ground Pork
    Michelle H.

    J Bistro is Korean and Chinese fusion restaurant, although it leans more Chinese. The interior is nicely decorated and quite clean. There are tables for small and large parties. The service was quick and the servers were attentive. We had a large party so lots of dishes were ordered, but the main dishes that I took note of were the Twice Cooked Pork Belly, String Bean with Ground Pork, Honey Glazed Walnut Shrimp, and Scallion Pancake. I love Twice Cooked Pork Belly, having had my first taste at an amazing Szechuan restaurant at my undergraduate institution. I have been looking for a restaurant that sells this dish in Atlanta AND makes it well. The Twice Cooked Pork Belly here was not bad, it was thinly cut pork belly slices, which I liked. I think there could have been more flavor and spice to it, though. The String Bean with Ground Pork was yummy!!! I love getting green/string beans at Chinese restaurants. I also liked the Honey Glazed Walnut Shrimp. The sauce was good and the shrimp was pretty large. I was very disappointed in the Scallion Pancake. The waitress asked if I wanted to pan-fry or fry (I assume in oil?) the pancake and I asked for pan-fried. The Scallion Pancake was not crispy at all and it should have been. It was kind of floppy and it did not have enough scallions in it. Overall, I think that this is a nice Chinese restaurant. There are lots of options to pick from (including some Korean foods). I am not the biggest fan of Chinese food, but I would consider coming back here to try their other dishes.

    Water Hot and Boiled Fish
    Amanda C.

    Came by on a Sunday evening and it was quite busy for dinner, and barely staffed. Took awhile to get our waiter's attention and food took longer than expected. Water boiled fish: quite good, tender fish, large portion, but could def be spicier with some numbing spice. Beef rolls: tasted fine but wish there was cucumber in it like the photo to add some textural contrast. Spicy wontons: tasted fine, but skin was very thick and not much filling. Pea sprouts: can't go wrong with this veggie dish although would have appreciated some more garlic flavor. Not bad though!

    I have walked past J-Bistro a hundred times now without any interest in trying until my friends started talking about it recently. I finally got a chance to check it out with my girls last month. Everything here is served family-style which is how it ought to be. I love trying a little bit of alot of things! Food: * Hot & Boiled Fish ($24.95): Yum! I highly recommend ordering this massive dish. It's so tasty to eat with rice. * String Beans with Ground Pork ($14.95) * Chicken Lo Mein ($14.95) * Scallion Pancake ($5.95) Service: Excellent. The staff here is very accommodating and friendly. We love the food and J-Bistro has yet to disappoint. The vibes are casual with moderate noise. There are booths and tables in the open area. We have opted for booths for a slightly more private dining experience. I'm a huge fan and can't wait to be back to try other menu items.

    Update- ordered UberEats from them last night to give second delivery try. Awful. Beef and peppers, snow tips, chicken and green beans, and hot and sour soup. As of this morning, about to toss in garbage. We barely ate it for dinner last night as it was not good. Was so awful that we ate a few bites, put in fridge but neither of us want to eat it...so in the trash. Not sure why it tasted so good when we went to restaurant to try for the first time. Maybe it is a different chef who does delivery orders. I retract my recommendation as it is a complete waste of money...no consistency. At least for my tastes. Seriously...the fast takeout place that we order "cheap" Chinese food on Roswell Road is a gazillion times better for fraction of the price. Not even sure if I want to waste a meal by dining in the restaurant. But this review is for the delivery. Waste of money. Pictures are of the food in the takeout containers as I was throwing in garbage.

    J bistro is our go to Chinese restaurant. The service is always quick, and the food is authentic, delicious, and flavorful. We've brought our friends and family here, and always had a great time. The price is not cheap compared to other Chinese places, but I think it's well worth it.

    Black Pepper Tenderloin with Hot Plate
    Claire S.

    -never really consistent for me but I go back since it's close and good for when I want fusion food -beef on hot plate was enjoyable but a little too salty -fried pork with sweet and sour sauce is just okay -service is just okay -jjajangmyeon is also just okay -interior can get pretty busy during the weekends

    My take-out plate at home, with Mongolian Beef and Kung-Pow Chicken. YUM YUM
    Alexandra G.

    I think we just found our new go-to spot for Chinese takeout!! We ordered the Mongolian Beef, Kung-Pow Chicken, and the pan-seared Potstickers. Everything was delicious!!!!! The Mongolian Beef was cooked to perfection, and the abundance of onions and scallions made this dish perfectly balanced. The Kung-Pow Chicken came with plenty of veggies, and the added zucchini was a nice touch. It was swimming in a succulent sauce that had great flavor. The portions are giving- we ordered 2 entrees and one appetizer, and we had enough left over to eat for dinner the next night too. I'm really looking forward to eating it again for dinner tonight lolll :) I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for good Chinese in the area. I'll definitely be back!

    Food - really good big portions Service - excellent super quick and attentive Ambiance - it was a little dark in there

    Chong Qing spicy chicken
    Isabel W.

    First time trying this place and I still can't believe it took us this long. As soon as you walk in you're hit with such yummy smells and can clearly see into the kitchen in the back where all the woks are being used. There were plenty of seats available from booths, tables and large family style tables. The service was great, everyone was so polite and we never had to ask for refills on our water. My husband and I shared an appetizer and 2 entrees - and honestly, the portions were so big that this could have fed 4 people lol. We definitely want to come back to try the other dishes, probably in a bigger group setting so we can maximize our ordering. A lot of tables around us were getting the black bean noodles and sweet and sour pork so that's at the top of my list. Food/price: - Braised Beef Scallion Rolls (~$9): appetizer, comes as 4 pieces. This to me tasted like the beef version of the peking duck you get with the tortilla style carb and not the bao bun. The flat bread it was wrapped in is flaky, there's plenty of meat and it was very good. - Hot and Boiled Beef (~$20): comes in a HUGE shallow bowl with so much beef, napa cabbage slices, and zucchini. It's not as spicy/numbing as I thought it would be, maybe not enough Sichuan peppercorn? I think I would ask for it extra spicy next time. But even still, I thought the flavors were good and this paired really well with the chong qing chicken bc that was a bit saltier and spicier than this dish. Comes with shareable rice. - Chonqing Spicy Chicken (~$20): sooo good! Great portions and flavoring. While it's not super crispy, the batter is light and the meat is juicy and there's plenty of it. Overall, really enjoyed our meal here. Everything we had was great, can't wait to come back!

    Ordered a variety of dishes to be shared. All the dishes were so flavorful and great portions. The service was friendly and fast as well. We really enjoyed the snow pea tips, tofu, spicy fish, and the spicy chicken dish. Overall, I would definitely came here for family style meals.

    Lamb with Cumin
    Binh N.

    Super tasty Chinese food! Definitely one of the best Chinese places I've tried around Atlanta. The cumin lamb was tender and extremely flavorful with each savory bite. The fish dry pot featured crispy fish and an assortment of various vegetables that complemented the spicy, numbing mala undertones particularly well. Will come back to try other items on the menu!

    Smoked Crispy Duck
    Sandy P.

    The food at J-Bistro was so filling. The portion was huge, family style. The service was very quick and prompt! My favorite was the fish and mapo tofu.

We were a party of 5 and found both the food and the service to be inconsistent. The Food: Most dishes were mediocre or worse. The Three Cups Chicken (1/5) was the worst I've ever had. The Hong Kong Style Shrimp (1/5) was just bland, tasteless fried shrimp. The Lamb with Scallion (2/5) was far too salty. The only "average" dish was the Spicy Beef and Tendon (3/5), but one decent dish can't save a meal this poor. The Service & Billing: The service was quite slow during our visit. We waited a long time for the check and eventually ended up packing our own leftovers and heading to the front counter to pay so we could head out. I was also surprised to see an automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill, especially since it was calculated on the total after tax ($23.07 tip on a $106.80 subtotal). While I understand automatic tips for groups, it felt a bit high due to poor services. There are a lot of great dining spots in the area, but based on this disappointing visit, I'm sure I would not return to this one.

When we sat at the bar, the bartender told us he would not serve food. He seemed unhappy, too busy, and had an overworked attitude, then asked us to order from a table and wait for seating, even though other customers were already ordering and eating at the bar. We waited over an hour for a table, then another 40 minutes for our food. When the food finally arrived, it was cold. When we asked the waitress why it was so busy that our food came out cold, she said it is usually like this during conventions. After waiting that long, we expected the food to be amazing, especially with so many celebrity photos on the wall. Instead, it felt like an overpriced, dressed-up Panda Express. Finding a big lump of flour in my corn soup was unacceptable. Definitely not the quality you would expect unless it was fast food or Panda Express. Extremely disappointed. Would not recommend, unless you enjoy overpriced, underwhelming food surrounded by celebrity photos. Perhaps there are limited Chinese food options nearby, which may explain the popularity.

The whole setup is like a mini food hall with several authentic Chinese spots to choose from--but Chong Qing is where I landed. I ordered the crispy chicken with garlic sauce and swapped the white rice for a side of house lo mein (yes, it's an upcharge, but worth it). Everything came out on real dishes--not to-go boxes--which I loved. You order and pay at the counter, grab a seat, and they bring the food out to you. Now let's talk about the food... DELICIOUS. The spice level was just right--flavorful with a nice kick, but not overpowering. If you like it hotter, you can definitely add more heat, but I was perfectly satisfied as is. The lo mein was really good too--veggies were fresh with a nice crisp (those onions and carrots were hitting!), and everything tasted well-balanced. Only small note: I wish there was a little more meat in the dish, but it didn't take away from the overall experience. And let me say this--the portion size is VERY generous. I ate until I was full and still had just as much left to take home, which is always a win in my book. All in all, I'll definitely be back to try more. If you're in Chinatown Market and not sure what to pick, Chong Qing Hot Pot is a solid choice. 4/5 stars for me!
