    May 17, 2026 Love this little hole in the wall. Located in a strip mall behind El Pollo Loco, it's a hidden gem for good Chinese food. There's no dining inside so everything thing is "to go". I love their Shrimp Fried Rice and I always order extra shrimp. Their Orange Chicken is also very good, and I get a bag of Fortune Cookies for later snacking. They have a large Uber Eats/Grubhub stream of business. I always go pick up my food but would consider using one of these services in the future. Food is reasonably priced and staff are very friendly. There's both street and lot parking. Give it a try.

    I've been wanting to try JJ Chinese Express since i get my car washed right across at Coastline! Walked in and it's definitely a place you go to order your food and eat it somewhere else. No frills no tables to dine in at but the food I got was great! Big portions too! I ordered the Szechuan beef with fried rice and a small order of roasted pork chow mein which fed me for 3 days! Order was freshly made as it was piping hot when I got it. For the price I'll definitely be back and try some other dishes.

    Great deals. A lot of food in dinner combinations and lunch specials. Friendly service too :)

    Probably one of the best Chinese Fast Food joints in the LBC! I ordered this through door dash for my kids because they wanted Egg Fu Young. It's a small shop right behind El Pollo Loco on the East side. We pass by this spot and never had the opportunity to try it. Saw their reviews on their Egg Fu Young and we had to try it. It was so savory and absolutely delicious. I ordered the house special egg fu young and the house combination egg fu young. My son is pretty hard to impress when it comes to Chinese fast food- he is very picky. Well this is going to be our go to spot Chinese food spot!

    All of my faves from here- Orange chicken, fried rice, combo low mein and chicken pot stickers. Yum!

    Solid place for Chinese food takeout! We usually order the orange chicken dinner combination plate with fried rice and cheese wontons with the egg drop soup and they give huge portions-huge plus! I also love the chow mein although it's a tad greasy, but very very delicious! There is plenty of parking and it's easy to pull in and pick up your takeout. Great value for your money here as well. With all Chinese food I just recommend polishing it off while it's fresh because it doesn't re heat super great. But as far as Chinese takeout goes in Long Beach this is one of my fave spots so check them out!

    Great selection, delicious hot food, and service. JJ is another LB Hitter. I appreciate how you can order half portions. This is such a great value!

    Side Wonton Soup for lunch. A little bit if soy sauce and it's perfection.

    Love this place! I used to order delivery from here when I stayed near downtown LB. You gotta get delivery for certain places when living close to downtown, am I right people? (IYKYK) And it has gotten better since the last time I had it. I was craving something from here but could not figure out what until I went through the lunch menu... it was the honey garlic chicken. Yums. I ordered the honey garlic chicken, beef and broccoli and green beans in brown sauce all from the lunch menu. $30 with tip. The lunch options come with an egg roll, choice of white or fried rice and the choice of soup or a soda. Nothing disappointed. Everything on point. They upgraded their fried rice, very nice. The only thing I wish was that they were closer to my current place.

    A friend told me about JJ's Chinese Food, and I'm so glad they did. This is my third time visiting, and the food never disappoints. Whether ordering through DoorDash for pick-up or calling in, the process is always easy and convenient. The prices are unbeatable, and the customer service is consistently top-notch. I attached a photo below look at all this delicious food for just $30! While parking can be a bit tricky sometimes, everything else is a perfect 10 out of 10. Highly recommend JJ's Chinese Food for anyone looking for great Chinese food and exceptional service! I had their garlic fried chicken wings last time and Man oh man they were delicious. Packing flavor inside and out. This place is takeout only.

    Not a bad spot. Food was made to order, so I had to wait about 10 min, which I am totally cool with for fresh food. Mixed chow mein with shrimp, chicken and beef was just ok. Nothing I would drive out to order again, but got the job done. I saw a lot of people coming in and out for take out orders and Door Dash, so they are doing something right. I think I just prefer the steam tray Chinese fast food experience, so I will stick with my China Wok Express.

    Do they have catering trays or provide food for parties?

    I'm not sure you should just give them a call. I'm sure they do. I've seen them packing for a party. It looks like.

    I want to try. Is it clean?

    It looks like it. It's just a pickup food place. Nowhere to sit. I went off the reviews and the reviews were good. The food is super good. Best I've found in LBC

    Is the Kung Pao tofu vegan? Can it be made vegan if it's not vegan by default?

    I get nervous with the phrase "Chinese fast food". Is this just fast Chinese? Or is this Panda Express quality?

    Is the chow menu vegan?

    hello, all chow mein cook with brown sauce. Us brown sauce have some Oyster sauce.

    Do the cream cheese wontons have any meat in them?

    I ordered the cheese wonton and no it did not have any meat. They were fried to perfection

Restaurant is packed, so place resos if possible. Food here is absolutely delicious. Notable dishes for me are the Pad See Ew with the giant shrimp and the Salmon Larb. Pad See ew had such a good wok fry essence. So flavorful, and perfect blend of savory and slight sweetness. Chinese broccoli nicely wok fried. The shrimp was jumbo and so succulent. Salmon Larb was perfectly cooked with fried cubes of juicy flavorful salmon. Tossed in fresh mint, cilantro, scallions, a ton of fresh lime juice, chili flakes, red onions and lettuce. The toasted rice powder was definitely apparent as every Larb dish should have. Slightly different take of Larb, bit more modernized and tweaked cause definitely a salad with the lettuce versus served with the cabbage and cucumber on the side. I don't think you can go wrong with what you order. Definitely fusion of authentic with a modernized American feel. Cocktails were excellent and recommend their Tamarind Spicy drink, don't remember the name but it was so good. Unfortunately no photos cause we weee hungry and just cleared out the food as it came out. Service is straight forward. We got what we needed with a bit wait due to the fact the place is BUSY!

Today we were approaching hangry, and knew that if we ordered a lunch special, we'd get delicious soup almost instantly, and we'd have leftovers for dinner! My partner was craving the kung pao tofu which blends with the brown rice beautifully, as does my order, the Chili Chicken, so garlicky and tender. We were also craving the spicy green beans, the perfect blend of crunchy and tender, spicy with the perfect touch of sweet! Be sure to consider some of our other favorites: the hand made chow mein (noodles alive and freshly made), the beef is simply crazy tender and lovely, ANY of the vegetables and tofu, and all their soups are to die for. They make their own ginger ale; but if you are wanting to boost your immunity or simply avoid the sugar syrup, I paid for a ginger ale but requested just the ginger juice (super hot and strong), and drank half and chased it with my diet coke and poured the rest in my soda for a ginger diet coke with lemon (yum).

To the point where we almost walked out (we couldn't flag anyone down & no one looked our way). We ordered Mapo Tofu w/Crab, Xiao Long Bao's, Pickled Cucumbers, Scallion Pancake, Fried Dumplings. Everything tasted super yummy, my favorite was the scallion pancake bc it was on the crispy side!! We'd love to come back again and try and hopefully have better service. Bc the food is super delicious and made up for the lack thereof in service.

She did not let me down as we walked in and noticed how truly authentic it was going to look. Chinese decor on the walls and boxes of restaurant supples in the corners. Just as it should be. The bonus was that they had a TV showing the NBA Finals when we arrived. Pretty nice touch and in the back of the restaurant so as not to distract everyone. We went with a couple of our favorite dishes to run along and the Chicken Lo Mein was pretty good. Crispy pieces of chicken and soft noodles and veggies to go with it. We chose to get Mongolian Beef and it was absolutely fantastic. Crispy celery, green onions and decent sized pieces of meat in a terrific sauce. I would love to try to replicate that. My wife wanted a shrimp dish so she ordered the honey walnut and it even looked good to me when they brought it. She loves egg rolls, so she got a four piece and said they were pretty good. My biggest wow of the visit was their vegetable fried rice. MY GOD. I dont know what they season or flavor it with, but every fork full of rice that i ate, it was this sense of flavor that reminded me of butter or something else. I really loved the sensation i experienced from this particular dish. I am really curious on what it actually is. I will definitely be ordering out or coming in for Chinese because that reminded of many other places that put out fantastic dishes.

We had plenty to share, which is always a plus. The restaurant has a nice family-style vibe, but it's a lot smaller inside than it looks from the outside. If it's busy, it can feel pretty cramped, and you'll probably have to squeeze between tables and chairs to get around. If it's not crowded though, it's much easier to move around. The service was fast, which I appreciated. The only downside was the food runner who brought out our meals. He wasn't very friendly and kind of just set the plates down wherever there was space, even on top of the plates we were already using. It felt a little careless and took away from an otherwise good experience. Overall, the food was definitely the highlight, but because of that experience with the service, it'll probably be a while before I come back.

There's loads of amazing Thai places in Long Beach but you tend to go you the ones you like. I been to a good amount where they're highly rated but something about them isn't what I'm looking for. Some tends to be very Americanize, others are just whatever but people love them. I like what I like and this place is one of them. Like mentioned, whenever I'm in Long Beach a visit here is always a must. The service is amazing as all the staffs are very friendly and welcoming. The place isn't that big but a fairly decent amount of seating on both side. They do have a table out front but it's only one. Menu has pretty much a good selection of Thai dishes. I like what I like and tend to go for the same items as they are one of the place that makes it the way I prefer. And why is it some Thai places don't offer their classic dish, the boat noodles. I've been to a few and they don't offer it while some places, it's not that good. Here, it's alway consistent and very flavorful. That a must for me and alway ordered. We also love the papaya salad which you can have Thai style or Laos style. Depending on what your preference is. Their larb is great as well. Very flavorful and tasty. Of course our main items we tend to get here, the boat noodles which I love as it's flavorful, broth is perfect and all the extras added. Also all their curries are excellent. Lately we've been getting their massaman curries which the flavors is really nice. Whatever protein you like. The curries do come with a side of rice but an extra order is alway needed. Love it to have with the papaya salad and larb. All their dishes are great and very flavorful. Spice level varies on what you like but I tend to go with medium and add all the extra spices for myself with their sauce selection. We tend to alway be full even before being asked if we wanted dessert. The food is always amazing and the staff are always friendly and sweet. There's two restaurants that's a door apart and both are great but this one takes the cake for me. It's always a must when I'm in town as I know the food will alway be delicious. Highly recommended. Heads up, parking in the area is a bitch. It's all residential so people tend to stay in or else they're going to lose their spots. Just a heads up.
