Jj Garden - EAST ELMHURST

This is a classic Chinese restaurant that offers a mix of traditional dishes and some American favorites like French fries and chicken wings. I tried some standout dishes, such as the Triple Green Jade Delight and Boneless Spare Ribs, which were excellently prepared. However, I found the Vegetable Lo Mein to be lacking; it was mostly just noodles with a few shreds of carrot and scallion, and there was only one mushroom included. On a positive note, there's plenty of parking available, which is a plus in this densely populated area. Overall, the food is good and reasonably priced, so I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

I used to really enjoy ordering from this restaurant, but I haven't placed an order in a while. When I finally decided to order again, I specifically requested no vegetables because I'm allergic to peas, yet my meal still contained multiple peas. Additionally, a significant portion of the food was burnt, and some of the chicken was practically inedible. I've never experienced these issues before. It's clear that the quality of the food has declined, and I'm quite disappointed. On a side note, the Chicken Fried Rice had an odd smell—definitely not a pleasant one. I won't be ordering from here again, but I hope the restaurant can return to its previous level of quality one day.

The house fried rice was terrible—awful taste, no flavor, and all clumpy and sticky. The fried chicken wings tasted old and lacked any seasoning. I will definitely not be ordering from here again.

The Pork Sui Mai (4pc) 燒賣 was amazing. Juicy flavorful plump The Cantonese Wonton Soup (Shrimp Pork) 廣東雲吞湯 didn't taste authentic, broth was mainly soy sauce based, wontons were mid House Special Fried Rice 本樓炒飯 had all the traditional fixings but the rice was a bit mushy and lacked flavor Egg Roll 春卷 was standard.

The sesame chicken was soggy and the fried rice has barely any soy sauce or flavor. The beef with broccoli was the best item we ordered, but even that hand tendons in the beef. I would never order from here again.
