This is a typical city suburban Chinese restaurant for a quick moderately price meal. Not the greatest- but just okay. Ordered for a large gathering to celebrate the Lunar New Year at work. Their noodles were the fettuccine type not the real egg noodles you would get in Chinatown. Service was quick and food lacked "wok flavor ." read more

This is my place for soft spring rolls with tofu. This place has the most ample size of these rolls for a decent price compared to other restaurants. The staff is extremely accommodating and when I do get delivery the drivers are very pleasant read more

Today, I decided to try a new lunch spot and ordered from a restaurant. The online ordering process was pretty easy. I ordered the lunch combo L5, which included chicken with vegetables. You can choose the type of rice, soup, and either an egg roll or a spring roll. The wonton soup had a very flavorful broth and the noodles were tasty. However, the chicken and vegetables were just OK. I forgot to mention in the notes that I don't really care for too much broccoli, and my dish had a lot of it. Additionally, I don't care for zucchini in this dish. The dish was a bit bland, and the white sauce tasted like flour, so I had to use the soy sauce packet. On a positive note, the spring roll was quite delicious. If I were to dine or order from here again, I would try something else on their menu. read more

This has become one of our local go-tos. Consistently good food and friendly service. A nice casual atmosphere.

J J Gardens is a really nice neighborhood Chinese Restaurant. The nice lady at the register (wish I knew her name) is so friendly & very helpful & accommodating. There is so much variety everyone can find something they enjoy. They offer both lunch and dinner combos which include your choice of soup, spring roll or crab puffs and white, fried or brown rice at e trembly reasonable prices. I have eaten here and taken food to go. You can't go wrong with this terrific Chinese restaurant where every employee goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable read more

After playing tennis with my buddy, we were looking for a late dinner in the area and came across JJ Gardens on Yelp. This Chinese restaurant is located in a small shopping center. We ordered at the counter and then they bring your food out to you. I went with the dinner special which comes with your choice of appetizers and sides from a limited selection. I had the General Tso's Chicken with an egg roll and wonton soup. And fried rice. The wonton soup and egg roll were pretty much standard. I've had General Tso's at a bunch of restaurants, it's one of my favorite dishes. The sauce on this dish was different than anything I've ever had. Not in a bad way but different. Service was standard. Typical Chinese restaurant ambiance-wise too. Comfortable and no frills. read more

Ordered takeout. Food was ready at the time for pick up. Inside was decent and clean. We got... 1. Combo Fried Rice (No Peas. No Carrots.): 5/10 it was ok. There's an aftertaste I can't describe. 2. Shrimp Lo Mein (No Cabbage. No Carrots.): 5.5/10 - shrimp used were small. Noodle texture was more on the softer side. I don't like soft noodles as they tend to be more soggy when you bite into it. Some other meats got lost in this dish-- probably happens when you reuse the wok and don't get all the meat out from previous dish cooked. Also-- there's also an aftertaste I can't describe. 3. Mongolian Beef: 5/10 meat was too velveted, a little mushy, flavors were ok (not really traditional that I'm used to in authentic Chinese food places), spice level wasn't what I expected from this particular dish AND NOT ENOUGH BEEF for $19.95. Price-wise-- I don't think it was worth it. If you wanted extra beef, they charge an additional $10. It was literally like 10 pcs of beef (sizes ranged from regular to tiny bits) and mostly onions and green onions. So thinking the way I think, I paid $2/ pcs of beef. I was pretty disappointed when I opened the container TBH. To charge that price-- at least give 20 pcs of meat-- making it approximately $1/pc of beef. Yeah... I had BEEF with this BEEF dish. I'd still give it another try in the future. It wasn't the worst, it wasn't the best-- but it was average for us. Try it for yourselves, you might like/love it. read more

If it wasn't for the pandemic and Uber Eats, I would probably never try this neighbourhood American Chinese restaurant. Houston had a recent proliferation of awesome Sichuan restaurants inside the loop, but I sometimes get a hankering for Chinese food catered to the taste of Americans. I think the quality here is comparable to the nearby P'King restaurant. My Kung Fu Tofu was tasty with the crunchiness of the peanuts complementing the rubbery exterior of the fried tofu. I liked the vegetable chowfun even though it didn't have too much vegetables compared to the brown sauce. read more

Ordered from here a few times food is always hot and great flavours. Fast home delivery

Tasty and reasonably priced lunch. Wonton soup, vegetable spring roll, brown rice, and beef and broccoli. Nice size portions. Excellent value for a lunch special. All of the food was tasty and well prepared. read more

They are open for dining in and we enjoyed a couple lunch specials. My wife had the happy family with beef, chicken and shrimp, it was loaded with veggies. I went with the General Tso's chicken and it was spicy so sharing wasn't an option since my wife doesn't like much spice, I loved it. We both enjoyed our choice of wonton soup, and an egg roll. We've ordered delivery from here and really loved it so it was a no brainer to visit, glad we did, we have a new favorite in the immediate area. read more

The food here is amazing whoever is cooking the food is doing a great job the only thing that needs improvement and would make me order from here all the time would be if they changed and made their fried rice better and different. Other than that it is good. read more

Shrimp Poo and Mushy Rice. I suspected that the sesame shrimp would be too sweet. And it was. But the worst of it is seeing that black line of poo on the shrimp. I ordered plain white rice. So, what I got was the rice from yesterday, quickly reheated with additional liquid. Which equals rice mush and I should know cause I've tried that trick before. Nothing special going on here. Keep looking. Why does sesame shrimp have to be sooooooo sweet? gawd. read more

Rude workers. No greeting when you walk through the door. When asked what kind of sauce is in certain foods, they had an attitude. Would not recommend! I would give negative stars if possible. Customer service isn't for everyone! read more

Tastes good: but to go portions seem challenged. I just got lunch combo with a wonton soup with two wonton. Shrimp and scallops combo seemed small as well but I didn't count; nor did I do replicate orders to get a statistical distribution. Wonder if in restaurant portions are more generous, or if it's the price of getting lunch prices. Tasty at least. But also surreal to see jalapenos in a shrimp and scallop. In re interior it was pretty clean and the AC was going; so would be nice to eat there instead of to go; but social distancing and such! read more

This place is such a pleasant surprise! Unassuming and typically furnished for a strip center restaurant. But the food is SO GOOD and the service is quick and efficient. I'm sure that some of you out there could use more attention (read "fawning") but if you want great food (nicely prepared, well-made, super tasty, large portions), reasonably priced (maybe low, in fact) in a nice atmosphere where you can hear yourself think, this is the place. So far have tried four dishes including cashew shrimp, General Tsao chicken, and General Tsao Tofu and same result: empty plates. read more

I love JJ!! This is my go to place. The general tso is the best. Food is already ready quick and made fresh

It's been ages since I've been here. I used to really like this restaurant. However, I came in for lunch today was highly disappointed. The food lacked flavor and everything came out at the same time. I would have appreciated my soup coming out before my entrée. I will not be rushing back here. read more

Your go to neighborhood chinese spot. Try the beef chow fun, loads of flavor. Service was great. In and out in about 15 min. Lunch specials galore with the wonton soup, and don't forget the crispy noodle! read more

Visited recently. Take out. Covid practices in place. I got curry chicken. Yum. Steamed rice. Crab puff with banana. Hubby got combo lo mein. He ate as much as he could. He had about 1 bite left. We put that in fridge. My dinner had lots of chicken. Food great. Customer service very nice. Highly recommend. We hadn't been in a loong time. It's different than what I remember. You can order online. I've not done that yet. Food was fast! read more

Came here for lunch. Not the most amazing Chinese food in town however I'm willing to give it another chance. The inside is very clean and the wait staff were all very hospitable and attentive. Both my friend and I ordered an eggplant lunch dish and it was very tasty. Large portions. We both asked to make it less spicy than displayed on the menu. They accommodated. Food came out in a sufficient amount of time. The hot and sour soup was a bit watery and the dish had almost too much sauce sopping up the plate. But as I mentioned the food was flavorful and yummy, minus the unbelievable amount of sauce and watery soup. I'd give it another go around just to see. read more

This is our go-to restaurant for take out. The food is fresh and the menu has a great variety. The owners are wonderful. I forgot my credit card on a recent visit and they called me to tell me they had it waiting for me before I even realized my mistake. read more

Food is always good here. We recently ordered the chicken lo mein, spicy,and it was flavorful. More veggies would have made it better.

Good Chinese food that's made quickly and to order. There quick with takeout and dine in. Easy to get to. I recommend this restaurant. Try the beef chow fun. read more

Great place for lunch! They have several options on their lunch menu and all meals are served with a side of steamed or fried rice, soup, and egg rolls. The majority of the items on the lunch menu are under $10! It's a steal! They don't take long to serve you. My favorite dish is the Kung Pao Delight because it comes with chicken, beef, and shrimp. Love the wonton soup and egg rolls. It hits the spot when you want to satisfy your Asian food craving. read more

Chinese food seems like an easy five star. But alas, they aren't all that good these days. I love this place and the only reason I'd want to give them a lesser review is that they are not open on ....drum roll..Saturdays! How can a restaurant not be open on Saturday. Still love the food. read more

Egg rolls and hot & sour soup outstanding. I had the spicy tangy chicken, it was very good. Their Gen Tso's reminds me of Fu Gardens or Hin's. Also, very good. Highly recommended. Lived in med center 20 + years, can't believe we just stumbled across it this past weekend. It's now our go to, worth the drive. Better than most, if not 90% of what's in the area. read more

Very kind staff working here. Staff was patient while ordering and food came out pretty quick. Food was pretty good and not as greasy as other comfort Chinese food I've gotten from other places and to top it off, great relaxed indoor location for a dine-in meal! read more

The food was great and good flavor. It's not always that we find a good tasting Chinese restaurant. Thank God for yelp reviews. They have a big variety of flavors and spicy dishes as well. The only downside is that it was muggy hot!! And it wasn't cold outside. Upper 70's and the restaurant had the heater on ugh. We are all pretty uncomfortable and sweating. The lady waitress was sweet. The food was prompt service was good. All in all I would go back again and hopefully it's the right temperature. read more

Very delicious! Probably the best Chinese food I've had in years! Get the General Tso's - very spicy and delicious.

Good Chinese food for the price. Not fancy, but good take-out when you're in the mood.

We did take out from here on a Monday afternoon. We used the ordering portal on their website which was really easy to navigate and well organized. It was about $11 for the General Tso's chicken entree and $14 for the basil chicken dinner special. The general tso's chicken came with brown rice. The chicken was was very moist and had the perfect crisp to it. It didn't taste overly oily or fried which we really liked. It wasn't overly spicy or sweet. The jalapeños really gave it a nice kick. Only suggestion/comment would be to add a little bit more sauce. I like to mix the sauce that usually pools in the bottom of the container with the rice but there just wasn't enough to do so. The basil chicken dinner special came with two crab Rangoon's, hot and sour soup, and brown rice. Usually with specials you get a smaller portion of the entree but this felt like a full sized portion which was great. It was sautéed chicken with tons of veggies and basil. It was all cooked in a spicy tangy brown sauce. This dish had tons of sauce! Even with the amount of sauce the veggies stayed crunchy. The chicken was very tender and soft. You can really taste the fresh basil in the sauce and on the chicken. The brown rice was also cooked perfectly. It wasn't overly sticky or mushy. The hot and sour soup and crab Rangoon's were exactly what you'd expect them to taste like. Overall we really enjoyed our meal. We live right up the street so we'll definitely be ordering from them again! read more

We have been trying to order delivery from JJ Gardens for a few weeks now, ever since their menu appeared on our door, but keep forgetting they are closed on Saturdays. Today we were finally able to try it. I ordered General Tso's Tofu for myself, and added broccoli. We ordered Vegetable Fried Rice for our daughter, and my husband ordered Beef with Spicy Garlic Sauce. We also ordered a handful of appetizers and some Egg Drop Soup. Both of our entrees were spicy, which we love, but a bit too sweet for our tastes. The Vegetable Fried Rice was either forgotten or replaced with a side of plain Fried Rice. So, in essence, our daughter won't get much of a meal out of this. We tried to check the receipt to see if we were charged $8 for a tiny box of Fried Rice with a little egg in it, and found that we weren't given a receipt. The Vegetarian Summer Rolls would have been great, if they hadn't stuffed the entire roll full of salad lettuce. The peanut sauce was very tasty, although quite watery. My husband said the Crab Puffs were good, once you got past the fact that they didn't seem to have crab in them, only banana and cream cheese, which at first was a weird combo for him. However, the sweet and sour sauce that came with them was delicious. My husband also had a very difficult time understanding the woman on the phone, which may have been part of the Fried Rice confusion, even though he said she read the entire order back to him and it sounded correct. All in all, we aren't sure if we will order from here again. There are a few more dishes we want to try, but haven't decided if it is worth it. read more
