Did not eat the food, it looked unappetizing. We talked to the waitress and explained that one of the dishes was not what we wanted. She didn't seem to eager to help, I asked her to get her manager.. Told the manager the problem, they spoke Chinese at our table in front of me, I asked them to speak English! That was rude, what followed was just terrible customer service with no people skills. They told us they would not bring us a new dish and that we had to eat it. We left... Now they can eat all three dishes!!! read more

Took my son here before dive class and was pleasantly impressed. The location is in a little strip mall and easy to get in and out of. The service was quick and when looking at the menu was pretty simple. We ordered the combos 1 and 5 and the food came out quick and hot. The portion size is great for 1 growing teenage boy or 2 adults. I took half of mine to go. Prices were amazing, b/c for $20.00 including tip we were both full and I had lunch for the next day. Overall Rating: 86% Service: 4/5 Price: 5/5 Location: 4/5 read more

Had to find a new Chinese place after Louie's closed. This is good and fortunately much closer. The egg flower soup is delicious! I always get Johns Incredible Soup-er Bowl. It has chicken, steak, shrimp and noodles...all of my faves. I wish it was more soupy, ie more broth but it is really tasty none the less. My husband gets the Kung Pao and my kids get the subgum. They all come with sides of pork fried rice, bbq pork, shrimp. We always have left overs - the portions are plenty. If you are in the Salem-Keizer area and craving Chinese, John's is the place to go. **Bonus, they also have a drive in window if want orders to go. SUPER convenient! read more

I LOVEEE THIS Restaurant!!! The Food so packed with flavor and the staff are like family to us. The prices are fairly good priced. If you are going to take the family out to dinner or lunch this restaurant is the place to be, friendly, clean, fast service 5 STARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come here to eat , Its like a piece of heaven :P ( theres also a drive through) read more

A yummy little place with very tasty Chinese food! When ever I'm sick the only thing that makes me better is their Won Ton soup!

Best local Chinese restaurant in town!!!! The food is fantastic and the service is great!!! So much food for the low prices! Can't wait to go back. read more

A-mazing! Never judge a book by its cover. Drove by this little gem in the way to our hotel and we were making jokes about "how good could THAT possibly be". Little hole in the wall in a strip mall. Checked in and decided take out was the way to go. We decided to roll the dice on this and give it a try after seeing reviews. We ordered a dinner with sesame chicken, of rice, prawns, and egg roll then a special with rice and cashew chicken, and an order of crab puffs. SO MUCH FOOD for $24. Hubby picked up and noticed they had framed their health inspection for all to see. All scores mid to high 90s. He said the place was spotless. Good sign. The sesame chicken was wonderful. Perfectly fried similar to what some restaurants call mar far but so much better. The crab puff side order was approx TEN delicious perfectly cooked large wontons. Best I've had. We have to find a way to come here again. Only low point for me was the rice. Next time I will do steamed. It wasn't bad, just not what I expected with some sort of teriyaki flavoring in it. read more

Yummy Chinese take out shrimp lo mein crab puffs spring rolls... Short because im hungry...

I was a little apprehensive about eating at a Chinese restaurant called "John's". I had read the reviews on yelp and was still a little hesitant. It was a combination of laziness and hunger that finally prompted me to go here and I was pleasantly surprised. Customer service was excellent and the food was decently priced. After we ordered the food came fairly quickly and was very good. Just to make sure that I wasn't liking the food out of pure hunger I've eaten there another 2 times in the last week (because my boyfriend was craving the shrimp fried rice then the day after that my brother-in-law was craving the lo mein) and I'm totally sold. This is an all system's go for me. It's right up the street, the prices are decent, there is convenient parking and the servers are extremely nice. They also do takeout and have a little drive thru window on the side. read more

Had to go to oregon to gather my dad's belongings. Needed some good food while I was up there and thankfully Yelp delivered. I'm kind of a vanilla eater when it comes to chinese food. Give me pork fried rice, chow mein, and sweet & sour pork and I"m a happy camper. The chow mein and pork fried rice was nothing short of divine. The sweet and sour pork was too sweet for me, but still had a good tang to it. The food was hot, fresh, and pretty darn good for takeout. Like other reviewers, I was nervous about a chinese food restaurant named "Johns". I'm glad I didn't just a book by it's cover. I ate all the rice, all the chow mein, and half of the sweet and sour pork. OMG it was wonderful. If I ever find myself back in oregon, I'll be stopping here to eat! read more

Absolutely, marvelously delicious food! It was recommended so we gave it a try. The PORK EGG FU YOUNG was the best e.f.y. either my husband or i had ever tasted. the ALMOND CHICKEN VEGETABLE was a perfect: chicken done just right, vegetables tasty. Huge portions. Lovely staff (the daughter, who took our order, was very good, very sweet), can't tell you how delighted we are to have found this restaurant. RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE! read more

The coconut chicken is to die for!!! Very clean restaurant, too! The staff is very friendly, and you can order ahead, and pick it up at their drive-up. read more

John's Chinese Restaurant - Ahhh, coconut chicken! My favorite! - Chinese Near Me - Keizer, Oregon

Best Chinese food in Keizer and the portions are always bring-a-friend style. Cool little drive up window if you call in your food and pick it up, but otherwise, they have a nice ambiance in the dining area and food is always 5 stars. read more

This is one of my favorite and have not found any place in town that can compare. The food is great, not some American-hybrid cuisine either. I've eaten there too many times to count. There have been times the service was epic and there times we went in and it was slammed busy and it wasn't great. I could eat here daily. read more

Amazingly great Chinese food! Service is point on- all the staff is super friendly. They bust their hump to make sure everyone is taken care. Carry out is great too! I have tried several different dishes all are good! lots of food for the value. You'll be bringing home leftovers- yum fir the next day! Best we have trued since moving here! read more

Great for a quick, inexpensive and healthy lunch! I have gone here many times and really love it! John and May are wonderful people and have been a part of the community for many years. My favorite is the schezwan chicken. Try it you'll like it! read more

Mediocre at best. Bland chicken, unimpressive rice, poor atmosphere (Chinese-American chic right down to the wood paneling) The place at Lancaster mall makes better food than this place. read more

Great food and big portions. Always have enough for another meal. I love their drive through window. Makes it super easy to order to go and pick up. They always give my children a little treat (sucker). They hand out cute calendars around the new year. The sweetest ladies work there . read more

Absolutely terrible customer service and management. This place is not kid friendly. The waitress is incredibly rude and made comments about my parenting style and my son. Management was unhelpful and handled the situation terribly. read more

It may not look overly appealing on either the outside or on the inside, however, John's has proven to be one of our go-to Chinese restaurants in the Salem area. The wait staff is friendly and very attentive. The food has been consistently done well with decent portions. read more

I dont give out 5 stars lightly but tonight 5 stars was well earned! Took a chance trying this place out, we had heard it was pretty good but still had some reservations. We ordered via the menu on UrbanSpoon.. which is out of date some.. but worked. We drove down to pick up our order and they have a convenient pickup window. The food smelled good and was brought to the car in a big brown bag. We got the family meal for 2 and it could have fed 4! Cost about 25 bucks. Not bad. The quality is what really shines... the food tasted fresh and the sweet and sour pork and shrimp were perfectly done. Seriously... some of the best Chinese food I have ever had! It was delicious! We are new converts and this is easily our new favorite restaurant. Must try John's if you havent yet. You will love it. read more

Small tucked away treasure. Huge portions, excellent service, and the food was ohhhh soooo good!

I asked around and this was highly recommended to me. I was disappointed in the food. It lacked meat and taste, I had very little meat in either the Mongolian Beef or the Chicken dish we ordered, it was mostly onions and celery. The service was friendly and quick but the food was average and we threw most of the leftovers away. I think I will look for another Chinese restaurant in town. read more

My family and I ordered close to $50 worth of food to go, when we asked for a side of sweet and sour. The Asian lady looked bothered by the request and then snarlingly said $1. I was really bothered that I had to pay for a side. Any other establishment would do it without hesitation and probably be thankful we gave them our business out of all of the others in the area, guess not! At the end of the day Asians will always be Asian. This is one reason why I'll always steer clear from them! ***NOT RECOMMENDED BECAUSE THEIR STINGY*** read more

This has been my go to spot for years now. The portions are huge! And the prices are reasonable . Also, their meals are msg free(upon request). Can easily share this meal, I do with my kids. And their egg flower soup is fantastic! read more

My family decided to get johns Chinese food for dinner and let me just say it was one of the most delicious Chinese food places I have ever gotten good from and I highly recommend it read more

Our fav!!!! This is the best Chinese food in Keizer. We order to go here at least twice a month, the kids are huge fans of the crab puffs and the Sub gum. read more

John's Chinese Restaurant - Yuuuummmy! - Chinese Near Me - Keizer, Oregon

See all

Do not order here TO GO. With that said the dine in portions are great and well worth it! I have done two take out orders from here now and both times I got tiny little boxes of food for the exact same price. My side of rice container had more food in it than the entree both times. 14.95$ for a shrimp entree, the box had 7 shrimp in it and was half full. I hope they change this because we don't have many good options in Keizer. read more

Great place for Chinese. Was a little sketch about it at first but after our first bite I am glad we went in. The helping sizes are large and for a good price. Service was good even on a super busy night. Not the quietest place but who cares. Will go back again for sure. read more

i ordered Mongolian beef and it was very bland - it was not right! my husband like his chow-main.

The food here is very good! I always get the teriyaki chicken and it's always delicious. The soup served at lunch is also great. The crab puffs are soooo good. I always make sure to get those. The portions are always huge! Enough for lunch the next day. The parking is pretty good as well. The staff is always kind and attentive. Highly recommend read more

Amazing portions and very well prepared food. I love the drive in window. Very nice customer service.

Good: noodles, veggies, sauces, beverages, prices. Bad: Service, location. Overall I had a good experience and would come again. read more

I can't say enough about how amazing this place is. Don't let the location fool you! It's a little hole in the wall in a strip mall but the food & service are FABULOUS! BBQ pork is tender & flavorful. Even their red sauce tastes better to me than other places. I love their chicken fried rice & sweet & sour chicken. The service is fast & friendly. They don't forget about you once your food is brought out. We've gotten it to go as well & still found absolutely nothing to complain about. Stop by & I promise you won't be sorry. read more

Customer service was awesome, and the prices are reasonable but the food was super cold. I had the dinner #4 for 10.50 last week and I was just very disappointed that everything was so cold. I took it to go, had to wait so I know it was "fresh" when I received it. Walked two blocks in warm weather and everything was just barely tolerable. The fried shrimp was good but....its deep fried so its hard to mess up on. Tiny portions but still, I don't think i'll be back. Made to order food should be piping hot, or at least warm. It was neither. read more

I've known John and his family for 4years,and he has always been spot on,and a very cool guy to talk to outside of work. .my favorite is the pork boiled noodles and their house lo mein!!!..always a pleasure john! read more

It disappoints me I was left no choice but to leave a review that isn't going to shed light on any positive aspect of your business, that being there is some. I find myself here twice a week or so to play a little video poker and see if I happen to have any luck at pressing a button just right. Today I cashed out at 950$, it's not a crazy win by any means but it definitely lifted my spirits. Anytime i win an amount over 100$ I do the courteous thing and tip whatever lady ends up cashing me out any particular time. I never walk off and tip nothing I believe being generous is how you keep good luck in one's foreseeable future. Now for the 2nd time this lady got the nerve to try and miscount or idk she stutters and try to be slick and short me a 20 dollar bill like I'm not sitting there watching her every move and Bill accounted for. I gave her the look "are you serious bih" and she apologized and gave me the correct amount and I walked out mad and shocked she got the nerve to try and pull some dumb shit like that all in hopes to trickle away a 20 dollar bill from my winnings. This was 2 months ago, today she got to the finally bill at 960$ and I had 40$ in my hand and said here's your tip, she literally takes the last bill that completed my payout and slapped the 40 I intended to tip her with like she was Bruce Lee and I couldn't see this all take place. Talk about awkward and confusing, i tip these ladies 60 40 80 dollars eveytime I walk away with a win. And if this happened to me I know I'm not the only person. I'm 27 so I can guarantee she's running game something outta pocket on the senior citizens with cataracts and zero hearing left on both ears. Not a good reputation to want to get going and lose the few customers you guys do have. Your boyfriends in the kitchen are already waiting to bust you ladies up side ya heads and I hope encourages them to unleash the dragon and teach you girls what happens when you disrespect customers that keep your business alive and prospering. read more

Yep dose it again. Was in the neighborhood and wanted to get a bite . Looked up yelp and found this place . Good portions and great flavor . I recomend the orange chicken. read more

This was by far some of the worst Chinese food I have ever had. Nothing tasted good and everything looked the same. I had there sesame chicken, chow mein, and fried shrimp for lunch. I couldn't tell which one was the shrimp and which one was the chicken, they looked the exact same. The chow mein was basically bean sprouts and veggies. The sesame chicken was just breaded with sweet ketchup like sauce on the side. When I eat sesame chicken, I expect it to have real sesame sauce. I went with a few friends to this place because of them raving about it, but again, everything looked the exact same, but with different color sauces. I hate to slam a place so badly, but it takes effort to serve this bad of food. read more

Ok first of all a Chinese place called John's? Well the food is as unauthentic as the name. I don't even want to describe it cause it might bring back bad memories that I don't want to relive! A friend, former player for the LA Dodgers died so I was out of sorts and stopped in here for dinner if you want to call it that and mind you I have had fish balls soup before even. All I can say is Dim Sum? No, Dim None. Bad bad bad read more
