I love how big the portions are and how good the food tastes. The staff is very friendly and quick. The place is clean and well kept.

Food I'll give a 3 (shrimp fried rice, moo shu pork, orange beef) Nothing to write home about. Service I'll give a 4 (friendly and kind, but egg roll arrived 15 minutes later..) Ambiance Hot inside, window units can't keep up. Plus the open back doors bring in a lot of heat too.... We won't be returning. read more

Ordered delivery, the food was fresh and hot when it arrived which was nice. HUGE portions you'll definitely have leftovers. The Mongolian Beef was good had enough sauce and onions. Orange chicken was good as well, added shrimp and there wasn't a lot on the plate with the price they charged for it. There was no option for no vegetables on the fried rice however it wasn't that bad. Vegetable spring rolls and crab Rangoon were amazing! read more

First impressions are important! We tried this cafe for the very first time and it was disappointing. -The dumplings: frozen, not made fresh. Very bland and jiggly. -Shrimp Tempura: weird send extremely greasy! -Twin pepper chicken: the chicken was spoiled and smelled sour. -Hot spicy crispy chicken: the coating has good flavor, but the chicken was spoiled. They used the same chicken to make both entrees and when I cut into the chicken it was slimy To say our first experience was disappointing is being way too nice. The lady I spoke with (Ms. Doris) was nice and immediately offered a refund, but we left everything else. I'm not sure why people hype this place up. Maybe they haven't travelled much? Who knows, but we certainly will never go back. read more

They have always had good fresh food. The plates have big portions and service is always great.

Oh, how I hate having to go back to correct a to-go order!! The food quality was up to it's normal high standard, but when I went in to order, there were five people milling around behind the counter, a couple of them filling sweet and sour containers and a couple others looking at their phones. One person took my order. I've been here dozens of times so I'm familiar with the wait times....this wait was a bit longer than usual. Finally they called my name, I grab and go. I get home and start unbagging and see that I was shorted an extra soup I ordered and paid for. It was on the receipt. I head back and take my order in, the girl who took my order helps me, sees that I was shorted and gets the soup (it's kept in heated serving setups) and puts it in an extra bag. The girls who were on their phones....still on their phones and one was actually trying to get the attention of one of the sweet and sour girls to look at their screen. If that much attention had been paid to the accuracy of my order, I wouldn't have had to come back with a sour taste in my mouth. I do know that if the owner were there (this was on Sunday and she wasn't there,) those phones wouldn't have been out in plain view. Oh, I do hate having to come back for stuff like this. read more

What a change. We went because we have always enjoyed, but we won't be going back. Egg rolls were burned on one side, friend's Teriyaki chicken was sweet she said (I've never eaten it but she said it shouldn't be sweet). The egg drop soup was good. It was very loud, but that's good for them because it was crowded. People were having to ask for silverware; they used to bring it to the table. Ours was brought to the table with the menus we requested. I'm really sorry we had that experience because we used to like it. Don't know when the place changed hands, but maybe the new owners/managers will get it back up to par, but we won't know because we won't go back. read more

Best Chinese food in corpus, not close. I've been coming back for the past 3 years and quality is still the same

I truly appreciate the care this restaurant puts into its food and service. When I placed my order through Uber Eats, the staff called to confirm my request for no meat -- such a considerate gesture! As a pescatarian, it means a lot to have that attention to detail. My order always arrive exactly as ordered: the vegetables are crisp, the seafood fresh, and the flavors beautifully layered. The portions are so generous too -- one order lasts me 3 days! Whether you're enjoying takeout or dining in, you can count on the best Chinese dishes and genuinely kind service. Thank you! read more

The food was good , serving was great for the price . Staff are friendly and fast . Definitely will be going back when visiting the city

My daughter and I came here and left determined that we'd be back. Wow! I can't say enough about the Curry Singapore noodles! Those are out of bounds delicious. The service was amazing. We were personally checked on frequently by the manager -- as were all who dined in. Cozy spot to grab lunch or dinner. I have not had Curry Singapore Noodles that compare. Superb. read more

JaJa Cafe - Curry N11. Combination Singapore Curry - Chinese Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Just ate here for the first time.. Everything was fresh and delicious. Service was great.. the Mongolian beef, Chicken fried rice and Moo goo gai pan was excellent as well as the egg rolls and egg drop soup! Can't wait to try more items on the menu.. Loved it! read more

I don't typically stray from my normal routine when I stop into a restaurant, but today I wanted noodles. Tried their flat rice noodles. I love flat noodles...so I hope theirs is delicious! We ordered and waited. My noodles came out piping hot with steam still coming out. Whoa! Loving it so far! Time to try my food...not too bad. A little more sauce on the noodles would have made it a solid 5 star visit. They were pretty packed tonight with news on the tv. A bit loud, but it was ok. I'll see yall again soon. read more

JaJa Cafe - Beef N8. Fresh Rice Noodle with Beef - Chinese Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Tonight I am out of town for work and staying in a hotel. I'm not feeling well and it's cold outside, so I decided to order delivery via Favor. This place was highly rated, and hot Chinese food sounded like just the thing to make me feel better. Food was delivered quickly. Portions were unexpectedly huge, to the point that they wrapped my food in foil because it was erupting from the to go box. None spilled thanks to the amazing packaging. I requested my chicken extra spicy, which they did very well, and there are plenty of vegetables as requested to balance the chicken and sauce. The one critique I have is that I wish they offered appetizers, soups, and sides in smaller portions for people like me who are eating alone. I would have ordered a cup of wonton soup and a few crab Rangoon if smaller portions were available. Still, 5 stars for this delivery! read more

JaJa Cafe - General Tso's Chicken, extra spicy, extra veggies. Still coming out of the box, and I already ate some. - Chinese Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Got the N2. Hot Spicy Beef Noodle and sautéed veggies (green beans only). The food is pretty authentic and very good. Everyone is polite, and the food comes out impressively fast! I've ordered the Mapo Tofu and S15. Eggplant with Garlic Sauce through uber eats, and those were very good as well! read more

Absolutely delicious! Everything was beyond great besides the steamed rice ..that can use some work. Too starchy= they don't wash it well. Will definitely be back! read more

JaJa Cafe - Chinese Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Use to be good, wow have they slipped. Chicken was a strange texture at least the whole pieces, the rest had a texture of a shredded chicken taco. Some of the vegetables were mushy and the sauce had zero flavor. It was just something sticky clinging to everything else. The service is also not that great, bunch of teenagers standing behind the counter, screaming and yelling. It was almost like I went to a Chuck E. Cheese. Used to be my favorite spot, not anymore. The white rice was just a big scoop of sticky slop. No resembles to rice for the most part. Eggroll was crispy on the outside, kind of but then pure mush on the inside. Basically threw money away eating here today. Walked out after a few bites. read more

I have ordered fried rice from this place several times over the years. Not great but good enough to return. My recent order was mushy overcooked frozen veggies with no flavor scrambled eggs. What a disappointment. read more

Food was excellent. Served hot. Well seasoned and big portions. Will definitely return next time in the area.

We're from out of town and a friend recommended this place. It's very good and will definitely be back. Big portions and great price. The owner was sweet and welcoming. read more

JaJa Cafe - Sweet & sour chicken, spicy edamame, hot & sour soup, side order of lo mein, general tso chicken with white meat. - Chinese Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

I visited this restaurant since my first choice was having trouble with their internet and couldn't even take orders or seat customers. Jaja Cafe was just 1/2 mile away and I was eating in less than 10 minutes. I was impressed with this little restaurant's busy carry out business. Not many people were dining in on the day i visited, but a ton were getting food to go. I was craving beef and I always order authentic versus American Chinese, when given the option. I settled on the cumin beef. This was a large portion with tons of green onions and white onions, and they did not skimp on the beef either. I was very happy with the meal and it actually kind of hit the spot too. So I would recommend this spot to anyone in the mood for Chinese, as they have Americanized but also a handful of more authentic dishes too. read more

Me and my girlfriend wanted to try out this new business because it had great reviews and I've heard good things, so we decided to give it a shot. When we arrived it was a small little business with small parking in the front and back. Once we arrived the menu is on the wall behind the register and if you dine in, you have menus in hand. It is a little odd that when dinning in you still need to get up and order at the register. I ordered the Spicy Chicken with Crab Wantons. My girlfriend ordered the Curry Chicken and Squid Rings. Once we ordered our food came out really fast. We were shocked, both appetizers and main dishes arrived at the same time. But once we started eating the food we realized why it came out so fast. The rice was bland and over cooked. The curry chicken was slimy and had a weird taste. And the Spicy Chicken was extremely salty. I went to the front and explained that the chicken was really salty and dry. I then got attitude from the employee while she tried to explain to me that the chicken doesn't come with sauce and it's supposed to be dry. I stated that the chicken is really salty, and I know that it doesn't come with sauce and that I was just saying the chicken was extremely dry. The employee then said they'll just cook it again. I asked for no salt please, and she was shocked asking "No salt?! Really?!" I said yes. I then received a new Spicy Chicken that tasted better. Even with no salt, it was decent. Maybe we came on a bad day, but this was not good at all. Service was not good, and the food was not good. I will not be coming back here again. read more

Best Chinese restaurant in town. Never misses. My favorite is the hunan chicken or lemon chicken.

We went here for the first time got, moo goo, broccoli beef and garlic chicken with soups. Food was hot tasty and ample. You order at the counter and then given a number for food to be served. We would go again for sure. Parking in limited but not impossible read more

Hidden Gem Alert! Jaja Cafe is run by a local family and they are cranking out great Chinese food! Walk in, seat yourself, look at the menu, and then go up to the counter to order. They also offer to go! I took a chance and ordered both the boiling beef and cumin beef entrees. It was completely worth it! The cumin beef was on the salty side which is how it usually is made. Other than that, it was delicious and the meat was very tender. The boiling beef came in a huge bowl and was spicy but not quite "malah" hot. It was spicy on the tongue and didn't have the numbing quality. Still yummy. There are only three parking spaces out front so if it looks full, drive to the back of the restaurant where they have more parking. If I'm craving Chinese, I'll stop by here again! read more

Had the Hunan beef. Despite the pepper on the menu, it wasn't very spicy. I was also served stir-fry rice instead of steamed. The dish was a little salty and saucy, but good. It was extremely hot and fresh, too. I'd give them a solid "B." read more

I've never been disappointed, but this last time I got beef and broccoli. It was dry people like that gravy juice over their rice and the beef didn't have much flavor. read more

We tried this restaurant to have some takeout because we were stuck in a motel room! The food we tried was excellent and some of best fried rice with shrimp that we have is long time. Even though the shrimp were more salad shrimp (well tiny - guess that's why they call them shrimp) but the overall taste was so good it overrode the small shrimp! We also had an egg roll and ordered an unusual Curry Chicken entree which had large pieces of white chicken spiced perfectly. The food was prepared quickly (cooked to order) was out very fast. We like our Chinese food hot and all this food was still very hot when we arrived back in our room! Finally the price point is set very fair considering the more than generous portions served! If you are tired of so so Chinese we think you will be pleasantly surprised to eat here! read more

Fresh cooked and delicious. For a small place, they have big flavor!! And they don't charge an arm and a leg for huge portions!

First visit to JaJa and we loved it. Ordered General Tso's and a egg roll. Hubby had Teriyaki chicken, fried rice, and egg roll. Everything was tasty and we enjoyed it. I would order extra sauce for the General Tso's though. Other than that, we loved it! Will come again. read more

Honestly I think the have great food. Really like their hot and sour soup and all their dishes have been delicious. Also, for the money you get a lot of food; I always get at least 2 meals out of an order. read more

My son found 2 hairs in his food and refused to touch it after that and im definitely not taking the drive back to get more. They are usually on point and I normally enjoy their food. read more

Couldn't be more pleased. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The food was not only delicious but so fresh. Portions were great. Perfect experience. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Fresh and cooked when ordered. They have "regular" dishes like beef and broccoli and items I have nig seen (like the almond shrimp). All was excellent. read more

(Take out) The fried rice is healthy and well cooked not your typical greasy fried rice. Not my favorite though. Their grain for both white and fried rice is different. The Sweet and Sour chicken I enjoyed as well as the chicken with broccoli. Did not like the egg rolls, stuffing was different. Good service they called me back when my order was ready, I believe because they weren't as busy. read more

Great local place! I ordered the spicy chicken, awesome. Chicken bits fried with a very good crust to them. Heat is good, not as hot as I was warned. A staff member came out and suggested I have rice with the dish because it is spicy. The cute cashier asked if I wanted steamed or fried rice. I asked for brown and she replied "so, fried?" Love her!! The hot green tea I ordered took a while, but the presentation is nice! read more
