House fried rice
Tommy J.

We had to go to the Tesla planned. Decided to stop here and get it couple of boxes of fried rice. The house fried rice is actually really good. Plenty of meat. We also got some walnut shrimp with a really nice honey glaze or something not sure, really crunchy shrimp with candied walnuts. What we ordered: Walnut shrimp with fried rice House fried rice Water The food was prepared quickly. Both of the dishes were delicious and really a good price. Not sure when I'll be out this way again, however definitely will stop here and eat. I think they cater mostly to the factories out here, Walmart, Tesla... Whoever. Give it a try

Food was great! I had chicken and shrimp fried rice Service was okay as well. Wasn't too busy when we went there, so all was done by the cashier.

The napkin is where I spit out the rotten pork.  Barrrf!
Michael S.

Five bites in I realized they sold me rotten Sweet & Sour Pork... Barf! ! Of course, I didn't realize this until it was too late. Even if the pork wasn't rotten, it was over breaded, gristly, and fatty. The fried rice seemed to be nothing more than woke warmed steamed rice with soy sauce added at the last minute for color along with some carrots and peas.

The Wok punches so high above Reno's weight class it's insane. The Sichuan menu is absolutely…read morekiller, and I think the best food experience in Reno. The Wok is one of those places, and Sichuan/Chongqing food is one of those things that I'm jealous of people who get to experience it for the first time. Here's how to have an epic time at The Wok: Step 1. Get 4 to 8 people total that aren't afraid to try something a little different and maybe slightly spicy (seriously though it's not actually that spicy). If you need help with this step message me, I'd share a meal with some random people if it's at The Wok. Step 2. Flip to the back page of the menu, and order a few things that sound good to the group. Don't waste your time with the American Chinese menu (even though what I've had off of that menu is actually really good too). Make sure to get a decent mix of stuff like appetizers, veggies, noodle, soup, and meat dishes. Also don't be afraid to order multiple times. This gives you more time with the menu, and you can judge what sounds good in the moment. Step 3. Share the food family style with everyone until you are all full. I think at this point I've eaten everything on the Sichuan menu, and can say that if it sounds good to you, it is! Some of my favorite dishes are: Wontons in Chili oil, Bone in chicken wings, Spicy boiled fish fillet, Beef noodle soup, Green beans, Salt and Pepper tofu, Dan dan noodles, and Mapo Tofu. Finally, Janet (the manager) is amazing, and always willing to give a recommendation.

The Chow Mein looks appetizing but bland. Had a few pieces of shrimp but shrimp tasted like it's been in the freezer for a while; had a freezer burnt baking soda flavor. The Wor Wonton Soup broth was not seasoned well. The wonton filling was also just ok. Fish was the better of the dishes. Tender fillet cut into bite size. Had some soy based sauce and green onions.

We've been going to CJ Palace since they first opened about 20 years ago, and it's been one of our…read morefamily's favorite places to eat ever since. Over the years, we've tried many different dishes, and the food has always been delicious. The portions are generous, the quality has been consistent, and the service is friendly and attentive. It's nice to have a local restaurant that we've enjoyed for so many years. After two decades of dining here, CJ Palace continues to be a favorite for our family.

Consistently amazing! We had been going for their AYCE sushi…read morefor over a decade now with excellent food and service. When the pandemic hit, I started doing their Chinese takeout with the Combo boxes and learned that their Chinese food was also incredible and for several years now, have consistently gotten fresh, flavorful, quality ingredients that has never been wrong. I just kept forgetting photos because we end up scarfing it down before I realize that I still hadn't posted a review and I always want photos with my reviews. Last Friday night, I finally remembered and I'm glad I waited because this was the first time one of us got the Lobster Roll as an entree. This HUGE and beautiful roll is absolutely a meal unto itself and worth getting as your only entree. The sushi chefs are truly artists. It also tastes as good as it looks. I have became an AYCE "cheap date" in the last several years so I always get the combo box now. It gives you a little of everything and you can bring home leftovers. There's something about the salad, or rather everything about the salad! It's just lettuce, crunchy noodles and their house sesame dressing but the lettuce is always fresh, cool and crisp. It never tastes bagged so someone is prepping heads of lettuce every day. It doesn't matter if you choose the Tonkatsu, Sesame Chicken or Steak with your box because all of them are tender. I usually get the chicken and it's a LARGE portion of tender chicken, lightly breaded and then sauced, sliced and topped. The Tempura veggies always includes one shrimp, one zucchini and a few sweet potatoes. I upgrade my half sushi roll to the Wayne's roll or something for, usually, a $3 upcharge which still comes in very affordable. Their Egg drop and Miso soup is never thin and always hearty, white rice is perfectly cooked, slightly sticky. It's a nice sampler for people like me who have a hard time making a decision and isn't overly expensive. I'm generally cursed dining out and if something is gonna be wrong, taste bad, forgotten, undercooked, whatever... it's usually me. So when I find a place that never misses a step, it's like finding my personal unicorn. CJ is a unicorn!

Shortly after being seated we were served wonton strips with sweet and sour and hot mustard dipping sauces. We opted to order hot tea and several dishes to share. Everything was served hot and fresh out of the kitchen. The vegetables were served still crunchy, very good. This is a great little spot to enjoy Chinese food. Our daughter shared that it was her Dad's birthday. The server turned on birthday music, brought out ice cream with a candle and we all sang. We really enjoyed the dinner.

We decided to order the combination family meal so everyone could try a variety of dishes. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted like old friends. Even though it had been a while since our last visit, the staff remembered us, which made us feel so welcome. I love the ambiance here. It's quaint, clean, and comfortable, with soft lighting, relaxing background music, and cozy booths that make it a perfect place to enjoy a meal and catch up with friends. We started with soup. I had the hot and sour soup, which is always my favorite, and our friends tried the flower soup, similar to egg drop soup, for the first time. They really enjoyed it! For appetizers, we shared the prawn, egg rolls, and crab Rangoon, and everything was delicious. For our main course, we enjoyed the Szechuan chicken, Hunan chicken, sesame chicken, and the vegetable plate. Every dish arrived hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The service was outstanding. Our server checked on us often, kept our water glasses full, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. We always have a wonderful experience at Chin Chin, and this visit was no exception. Great food, excellent service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere keep us coming back. We highly recommend it!

My fianceé told me about the Lemon chicken she tried for her first visit and how much she loved it! It's not her usual to to for the lunch specials, but she highly praises it. I am very happy to say that I do too now. The chicken was cooked perfectly and reminded me of chicken Katsu, light and crisp. It wasn't drenched in a gelatinous over lemony sauce either. Everything was light and refreshing, if you love lemon I suggest asking for a couple more wedges. I can't wait to have it again very soon. The entire time we were there which was about 45 minutes there were hardly any other customers for a Friday I thought it would be much more busy around lunch time. I do not believe this place deserves to be that slow on a Friday at all. I'm seriously going to be dreaming of more scallion pancakes with that sauce! The dining room and bathroom was very large and clean. Also, I really love the pictures of the food along the windows. Pictures are always very helpful. On our way out we picked up almond cookies for $2 per bag (sandwich bag ziplock). When I bit into it I was immediately transported to the Japanese tea garden in San Francisco. I have very fond childhood memories there. We always had almond cookies with our jasmine tea. Well done all! See ya on the next visit

Parking was easy since the restaurant sits a little away from the busiest part of the center. We were greeted right away and seated as soon as we walked in. The dining room is large with an open layout and plenty of room between tables. The decor follows a classic Asian style with umbrellas hanging from the ceiling and themed pieces throughout the space. Service was warm and attentive. Our server checked in often, stayed on top of drink refills, and answered questions without hovering. We ordered a mix of Chinese dishes and dim sum. The dim sum stood out and ended up being the highlight of the meal. The main dishes were less consistent. The calamari felt heavy with breading, and the pot stickers, while flavorful, didn't quite hit the mark. The fried rice and duck were both on the salty side. Overall, the place is comfortable with kind service, solid dim sum, and a few dishes that could use a lighter touch.

The beef we got had a nice kick to it, but the flavor was messed. They had no one inside. I bet if…read morethey had regular customers. The food would be even better. The shrimp dumpling amd the shu mai were pretty goof..I would rate thay as a 4 for reno. They furniture keep the place spotless. When I went there the staff member was even cleaning the windows and the waiting area seats. The cashier was super helpful and super friendly. She said to get the eff custard bao fried next time, but must be eaten fresh. So take out won't work. It was pretty good, but could tell it was probably steamed a little bit ago. The price is decent. About average for dimsum amd asian cuisine. They should do special events or host holiday things to get more attraction to them. Would help drive in members. Like a moon festival set or new years set. People love those and must be reservations. If they advertised this gs like that. I bet the community would love to experience that. Overall its not bad Would go again, but we rarely eat out. Also there's plenty of parking , just beware those people coming from the backside. They tend to speed a little.
