I got the beef wide rice noodles, which I think is one of the less popular items on the menu (seems like most people come for the dumplings), but I thought the noodles were amazing! I basically inhaled them, and they hit the spot. Very comforting and reminded me of the noodles my dad would make me as a kid. Knocking off a star because you have to purchase bottled water or else they don't serve water, but otherwise a solid meal.

Customer service is average. Cold water was offered. There was no wait and I was able to secure a table for one. This time I was not diverted for evasion to be seated at the bar counter, but an actual table. Oh! Restroom facility is relatively clean. Walls are of the exposed red brick and heavily plastered with flyers and bric-a-brac decorative objects. RM1. Miso Ramen, chicken broth $15.00 There is one whole brown soft boiled egg with running yolk which was cut in half. The noodles were sufficient. The broth was flavorful and the broth bubbles are very visible for the high level of cholesterol and fat content. The chicken was sufficient and soft. The vegetables were sufficient. The Asian mung bean sprouts are sufficient and fresh. The seaweed was embedded and chopped in small pieces, but I prefer it to be one large whole piece. It was served piping hot with steam visible emitting leading me to continue breaking a sweat from summer's plaguing high humidity. Price is reasonable. Loyalty card is available which also serve as a business card where the tenth stamp enable "buy 10 get 1 free (on next visit)." Ji Bei Chuan have other locations in Flushing, Queens, and Brooklyn. There is one defunct train suspended near the ceiling adjacent to the restroom facility with uncharacteristic lighting flickering continuously serving as decoration. Takeout menus are abundantly available for grabs. I was able to obtain my sales receipt as keepsake.

I've noticed Ji Bei Chuan several times in Chinatown, Flushing, and Edison, NJ. Today we finally…read moregave it a try. There are over 50 franchised locations in the US and over 400 in China. It was founded as recently as 2018. You can say it has had an explosive expansion! The deors and ambiance are elegant and pleasing, and the strong AC was a very welcome touch on a hot summer day. Their signature dish, the Fish Maw Soup Rice Noodles, was allegedly perfected by founder Mr. Ji after extensive travel and research to hone the broth. Packed with various mushrooms, herbs, and collagen-rich fish maw, the dish really emphasizes health benefits. However, like many healthy foods, I found it a bit bland, even if the flavor profile was complex. Texture-wise, everything felt smooth and slippery (except for the fried tofu and Napa cabbage), even the rice noodles had a texture closer to glass noodles if you closed your eyes. Presentation, though, was fantastic, arriving at the table piping hot on a wooden pedestal. We also tried the Sauerkraut Fish Noodle Soup, which felt much more familiar and ended up being my personal favorite. One of us opted for the set meal (a $5 add-on for a side and a drink). For our drink, the Lychee Ice was refreshing and came loaded with lychee fruit and jelly at the bottom. For the side, we picked the Crispy Coconut Lava Balls, which were excellent--essentially deep-fried coconut mochi with a tapioca filling. Highly satisfying! HOWEVER, it only came with 2 pieces, whereas the menu photo clearly showed 6 or 7. I had to knock off a full star for that misleading representation. Overall, it's a worthwhile experience. If you have never tried fish maws, this is the place to try it.

I have been a fan for many years and thought they had closed recently. Thankfully, that was not the case, so I went back again recently. All their roast meats are really excellent. We also had Honey Walnut Shrimp, Eggplant Casserole w/ Diced Chicken & Salted Fish, Ginger Scallion Lobster, Salt & Pepper Fried Pork Chop, Sautéed Snow Pea Leaves, and Beef Chow Mein. Everything was tasty. On another visit to Chinatown a week ago, I took out a Century Egg & Pork Congee, two Steamed Rice Rolls, and a half order of Soy Sauce Chicken. Congee was a bit average, but the rest were good. If you are looking for a solid place for Cantonese comfort food, this spot is not as popular as names like Big Wong or Ming Wong, but honestly it's every bit as good, if not better.
