FOOD/Value: 4.5/5 SERVICE: 4/5 AMBIANCE: 4/5 Tried J Bistro for lunch and overall had a good experience, but there were definitely a few things that could be improved. Their menu has changed recently and lunch prices have gone up. They also offer a separate Korean menu, but everything is written only in Korean without explanations, which can make ordering difficult if you're unfamiliar with the dishes. The lunch menu was also a bit confusing. It mentions that meals come with side items, but some things -- like the noodles -- apparently have to be specifically requested, which wasn't clearly explained. The restaurant was already very busy right when they opened on a weekday, so service felt a little rushed. Our server wasn't especially warm, but she was attentive and kept things moving. That said, the food itself was very good. Highly recommend the black bean noodles (jjajangmyeon) -- definitely the highlight of the meal. read more

I love this Korean Chinese fusion restaurant, This place makes the best ja jiang myeon 짜장면it's off the Korean menu. The whole menu is in Korean so you do have to ask the servers to translate for you if you can't read Korean. I am obsessed with these noodles, and I love the fact that you can get them with beef instead of pork. The black bean noodles are a little oily so I like to change it to beef because it makes the black bean noodles less oily. It's a great option if you don't eat pork as well. I wish they had a way to make the Korean menu also have English because the Korean menu slaps for me. 탕수육 tangsuyug the sweet-and-sour pork is so crispy. I love it. I actually asked them to put the sauce on the side so I can dip it in cause I like mine to stay crispy. I ate it so fast. I forgot to take a picture. I'm so sorry! As for the Chinese menu, it is in English. My favorite things to get are the spicy Sichuan wontons, and the braised beef noodle soup! In my opinion, the One songs are not spicy at all so everyone and anyone can try this. The beef noodles are so rich and full of flavor. And they give you such a generous portion as well. It was so good! They also have an amazing lunch special, but I work weekdays so I usually come on the weekends and the prices aren't bad as well. I like to come here after shopping at H Mart. read more

My friends and I decided to stop by here for dinner and loved this spot! There's plenty of parking since it shares its lot with other businesses and H Mart. We were seated quickly and proceeded to start ordering. We went with black bean noodles, honey walnut shrimp, Kung pao chicken, eggplant in garlic sauce and a veggie Gangou. We got our food within 10min and it was quite good! I loved the Kung pao chicken the most followed by the eggplant in garlic sauce. The Kung pao chicken was super flavorful and came with a lot of chicken. The eggplant dish was also super tasty and flavorful. The honey walnut shrimp was also pretty good and came with steamed broccoli on the side and honey roasted walnuts which were a nice complement. The veggie gangou was also pretty good and quite flavorful with an assortment of veggies and a nice flavorful sauce with a kick of spice. I didn't try the noodles but my friends said it was pretty good. Overall, a great place for Chinese food if you want to dine in or order take out! read more

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. read more

Food is great service is good definitely get the black bean noodle never tried Mongolian chicken before this and it was very good

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I had really high hopes for this restaurant but it didn't hit expectations like I thought. J-Bistro is a Chinese/ Korean restaurant. The interior was more spacious than I actually thought and it can be suitable for large parties. We ordered the beef wrap, Black bean noodles and twice cooked pork. Honestly, my favorite was actually the pork. The black bean noodles was a huge disappointment. It was definitely more beanie than I thought, but maybe that's the more traditional way of this dish. I like it more on the sweeter side with more onions. The beef wrap was actually cold which I was not expecting. I have had other ones where they were more flaky and hot. Not sure if I would go back unless I'm just craving Chinese food due to the high price point read more

Very yummy!!! The jjajjangmyun and tangsuyuk(any meat) are exceptional here! It's very good comfort food :D

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! read more

J-bistro is nicely decorated, very clean, and has attentive service from the get-go. Upon being seated, I was surprised to find a 1-page menu that more resembled a Chinese takeout menu rather than a sit-down establishment. I ordered the jjajangmyun, jjambbong, and fried rice. Overall, the flavors were good but nothing too complex. Certainly much better than Chinese fast food, especially given the reasonable prices. I recommend the jjambbong, as the flavor of the noodles definitely stood out. read more

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. read more

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! read more

J-Bistro - Chinese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

We were there for the first time last night and was really impressed with the how delicious their food is. I had a spicy lamb with chives and peppers dish off the Chinese language menu and my partner had pork fried rice. Portions were generous. Great place for family style meals. We loved their hot tea blend even though they are from bags. And yes, there's a grumpy grape waitress like a previous reviewer mentioned. We got there close to closing and she kept bugging us to order right away, reminded me to come earlier next time, and cleared my dishes before I was fully done. But I'll still leave 5 stars for the food. read more

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! read more

In the Doraville H-Mart plaza tucked away by the corner of the karaoke place and by Kura Revolving Sushi is a tiny little bistro (literally) that houses a basic Chinese place. It is a Chinese Korean place but it's a bit more on the Chinese side of things than Korean. The inside is a mid sized interior that is dim enough for a date but has enough lighting to where you can see the food. The service was decent. Attentive. Courteous. Professional. Nothing to really write home about. Now for the food. Seeing that they have jjajjangmyun on the menu... you know I had to do it. It's the litmus test for good quality Chinese Korean fare. The Jjajjangmyun Tangshooyook combination!!! So I order it. And since it's more of a Chinese place than a Korean place, the tangshooyook is a separate entree as opposed to being able to order it as a combo. The jjajjangmyun is pretty average. I did like the bigger chunks of meat than it being a light peppering of ground pork although some of the chunks were stringy and dry. The noodles were al dente and held onto the sauce very nicely. The flavor. Again, it's missing an it factor of the wok hey that should be cooked into the black bean sauce and this was missing it. The deep fried pork came all assembled so no dipping the fried pork chunks in the sauce which is my preferred method of eating this. It was a bit too fried and not a lot of crunch to the pork bits. The sauce erred more on the tangy side than the sweet side which didn't balance out the dish as much as I would like it to have had. All in all, it's an average place that seems to service what expected in the ITP. Average. It was pretty poppin' in there so they must be doing something right but in my experience, for $33.00 between the two dishes, it was average. read more

The food is decent but there's one waitress that kind of kills the experience. I thought it was a 1 off experience and gave it a 2nd chance and tried again..... aaaaaand she's still a grumpy grape! She's very curt and impatient. The garlic green beans and kung pao shrimp are pretty yummy but next time I'll order to go! Oh and the "ambiance" is pretty basic and the booths are a bit low and uncomfy, but don't let that deter you if you're looking for an authentic Asian food experience. read more

Such good food! We've been here many times and the food is very consistent! We ordered the japchae (glass noodles), tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork), jiajiangmien (black bean noodles), and the jjamppong (Spicy mixed-up seafood noodle soup). All of the dishes were excellent and service was great! My favorite dish was the black bean noodles. Ambiance of the restaurant was nice and clean. I like the window in the back that lets you see into the kitchen. Overall, would highly reccomend! read more

Their lunch specials were great! The interior had a traditional/modern appeal. Some of the menu items were both traditional with a slight modern flair. The twice cooked pork belly was really good. Since it was the lunch special, it came with one's choice of soup (egg drop or sweet & sour) and a vegetable egg roll. The pork belly was cut in thin slices and super delectable. The oil base definitely added flavors and coated the small bits of bell peppers and lettuce pieces nicely. The homemade noodles of the braised beef brisket took quite a bit to make, but it was sure fresh and came out in a large bowl. The braised beef brisket was super tasty, and there was quite a portion to it. There was also a good amount of noodles and bok choy (?) in the soup. Overall, it was super flavorful and yummy! Parking is plentiful as J-Bistro is in the same complex as Hmart. It is on the left hand side of Hmart if you are facing the market. J-Bistro sounded like an Americanized version of Chinese food. I know it's just a name, but that was my initial thought. To my pleasant surprise, the food was pretty yummy and traditional. The pictures of the food all looked tasty, and some of the dishes looked quite unique. read more

This place is unbeatable for affordable Sichuanese food, and is my (Sichuanese) mother's go-to spot, especially for lunch! The lunch specials are unbeatable: for $10-11, you get a choice of soup (hot & sour or egg drop), spring roll, rice, and a sizable entree. (I'm honestly not sure how they're turning a profit.) We usually opt for the boiled fish/beef, twice-cooked pork, shredded pork w/ long peppers, or the crispy chicken. The food is always good, and we usually have enough to take home, too. The service is prompt and the interior is clean and spacious. Absolutely recommend if you're in the area and looking for great Sichuanese food that won't break the bank! read more

I don't have too many experiences with Korean-style Chinese food, but this place was amazing. I have been itching to come back since my first time. Their gan jajang noodle was better than any I have ever had. The Hakka stir fry was done in a spicy style like twice cooked pork- still very good- just different from what I was used to. Excited to try other foods they have to offer!! Loved everything read more

I'm working my way through this shopping center and trying all there is to offer, so I stopped in for lunch today to check this one off my list! Place was clean, orderly and not very busy considering it was lunch time. Servers were all polite and attentive to the few tables that were there. I ordered what I thought was a full order of their 5 spicy chicken-but what I was given was the lunch combo portion. Which came with a side of steamed rice and a little egg roll-with dipping sauces of duck sauce and hot mustard. This chicken dish which seems to have a whole list of commonly used names Mala chicken/Spicy Sichuan Chicken/Chongqing Chicken/Dry fried chili Chicken. This is their take on the traditional dish-just added more pepper varieties to the mix. Zero complaints! It was really tasty and packed full of peppery heat and flavor. The crispy thin slices of celery and thin slices of garlic was a nice find and added some additional elements to the dish. Steamed dumplings(pork) were cooked perfectly and appeared to be made in-house. I could be wrong though and were served with a dumpling sauce for dipping. Only knock was with the steamed rice, it was dry and not fragrant. It was just plain ol' bulk rice from the 50-pound bag variety...it wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't great either. Better than mushy wet rice-so there is that! read more

This is a review for my first takeout from J-Bistro in August, 2020. This is a 3.5* rounded up for being open during Covid-19. I phoned the resto directly and placed an order to go to be picked up after my H-Mart shopping. They did NOT allow me to prepay over the phone! Had to pay inside :-(. NO outside pickup. - Ambiance is small, dark resto in the busy H-Mart shopping center. Inside was open for dining and their host / cashier area was open...not set apart, not sealed off from their dining room. Staff wore masks but diners did not (obvs). A large table with diners (~8-10 peeps) was next to their cashier / host station... felt unsafe and was uncomfortable waiting for the staff and paying inside with unmasked diners. It was just unnecessary! + Food is (Korean) Chinese... was slightly above average. I ordered jajang myun and sweet and sour soup. They packed everything separately...noodles in a plastic bag, sauce and soup in a plastic containers and condiments (onion, danmuji and chunjang) in small plastic containers. It was well packed but finding noodles in a plastic bag unappetizing. Fortunately, reheated jajang myun in a bowl tasted fine. Pretty average jajang around Atlanta. Their hot and sour soup however was tastalicious! Perhaps one of the best around Atlanta. ++. Price was reasonable. -. Service was okay. But their Covid-19 protocols were less than what I liked. I didn't feel safe. Would have much preferred it, if they had allowed me to prepay when I placed a phone order so I could've minimized my exposure inside the resto. +. Parking is free and shared in a busy lot. Overall, J- Bistro was a good find for their sweet and sour soup! I do wish they updated their Covid-19 takeout process and allow customers to prepay over the phone. Looking forward to exploring their menu once COVID-19 is in the rear view mirror. - - - Inhumane - - Disgusted - Don't bother = Missed the Mark + Good ++ Better +++ EDIBLE...WHERE have you been all my LiFe! read more

J-Bistro - Lo Mein with Chicken, Black Bean Noodle, Pan Fried Potsticker, Hot and Boiled Fish. - Chinese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

It was super unfortunate for a restaurant to open right at the brink of COVID-19 but it seems that J-Bistro has adjusted accordingly quite successfully. One of the first few Chinese takeout meals I picked up during the beginning of the pandemic was from J-Bistro and it satisfied my cravings after weeks without some good Chinese food. I'm wokless and gas stove-less so I just don't have the resources for those hot fried Chinese dishes. I ordered some sautéed snow pea tips, fried chicken steak over rice, and the Szechuan hot boiled fish. It also came with a hot & sour soup. My only complaint was the snow pea tips didn't seem super fresh - they were fibery and not that silky flavorful veggie I'm used to ordering. But forgivable due to COVID circumstances. I don't know why I don't come here more often - aside from being on the pricier end of the authentic Chinese takeout spectrum, their food is delicious! Hoping to see some lunch specials in the near future to compete with some local Chinese restaurants in the area, otherwise, I'm down to grab some dinner from J-Bistro! read more

This is how a restaurant should serve. The food was absolutely incredible. I had the Mongolian beef lo mein with a couple apps. We had spring rolls and I can't remember the name of the other thing. It was crispy chicken thigh bites with basil. So freaking good though. Nice complimentary sauces as well. The lo mein noodles had such a nice texture. Definitely the best I have had. Service was absolutely excellent. We had multiple people check in on us. Ambience is also very nice. It's decorated quite nicely. I was also expecting the price to be higher because of the quality but it wasn't. Actually a little less than I was expecting! Definitely great bang for buck. read more

Round 2 at J-Bistro! I ordered the scallion pancake and stir fry noodles with beef. To start, the scallion pancake was delicious! The portion size was good the the dipping sauce was like a sweet and sour soy sauce in my opinion. The stir fry noodles were definitely a miss unfortunately. Portion size is good but the dish lacked any flavor. I felt like it was SUPER oily and I needed to add soy sauce to add any hint of flavor! Overall, I would definitely come here again but would stay away from the stir fry noodles. For $13.95, I expected a more flavorful dish! read more
