E J China Bistro & Sushi

So went in and ordered for me and my family. After we ordered and payed we got informed of the family deals. Kinda late to mention that but oh well. The food wasn’t good unfortunately. The pork was dry for the sweet and sour pork. Like hard as a rock almost. The plate I had tasted fishy and it wasn’t even fish. Only one plate came out good. The soup was just oil pretty much. I wish I checked the reviews.

It had been several years since my last visit here, and I honestly didnt remember much of my previous experience. I visited late in the evening, for a last minute meal. I decided to order the combo, so I could try more than one item, and ultimately neither item I got was impressive, and both were what I would consider decent. I ordered the dinner combo, with general chicken and beef with garlic sauce. Service The food came out after a little bit, along with my soup, my drink and everything else. Nothing was brought out while I was waiting for the entrees to arrive. Portion Size The portions were huge, and I knew immediately I would need a to go box. When the waitress brought the food and said "anything else I can get you?" I said "a to go box".. she was confused a bit, but explained it wasnt because they took a bit, its because theres no way I could finish that much food. Food Flavor The general chicken was a bit dense, the cubes of chicken were tender, but overly large, and the batter on the pieces was soggy, with no crispness, and a more vinegary style sauce. The beef with garlic sauce was unimpressive a well, it had a very vinegary flavor, almost like there was so much garlic it gave the sauce a sour flavor. I saw other food come out with comparable portion sizes Everyone received portions that required to-go boxes reguardless of the item. For the price, the portions are enough to split between 2-3 people, but finding an item that is good flavor wise might take some exploring of the menu. Overall Impression I was neither impressed or turned off by the experience. This was one of those average experiences. The food was priced decently well for the portion sizes, the flavors were decent, but not impressive, and the menu had a huge selection of items. I feel like something here has to be really good, but the general chicken was one of the most mentioned items in the reviews and I felt it fell short.

I went today to enjoy a nice lunch with my best friend, however, the owner’s husband had the tv full blast and was watching a Chinese show which was showing violence towards women. After about 10 minutes I went and asked him if he could please change the channel as the show was disturbing and we wanted to enjoy our lunch. His response was “well, sit somewhere else and don’t watch it.” I told him that we were sitting as far as we could and even if I chose a different chair that we could still hear the screaming- could he please lower the volume? His second response was “well then you can just leave.” Wow, I was as respectful as I could be and didn’t expect his rudeness. Our food was coming and my friend wanted to stay because our waitress had been kind. Sad to say the food was not good at all and were very disappointed. We thanked our kind waitress and she apologized for what happened, said that man is always rude to customers and many do not return. Never going back.

After passing by this place numerous times on the highway I decided to finally stop by with a buddy and try it out for the first time. I wasn't disappointed everything was good from food to staff the only thing was the atmosphere was a bit off only because we walked into a dead lobby probably due to just starting the lunch rush but it still felt off sitting in complete silence with no tv going or music to set the ambience. Other than that minor detail everything was excellent food was cooked fast and fresh, big portions even though I did get a large wasn't expecting this much of a LARGE. Meal came with a drink and a choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup as well as a choice of a Rangoon or egg roll as a side. All and all I'll definitely be coming back just throw some jams on in the lobby or something and this spot is perfect 😄

Met a friend for lunch, first time here. It was alright. I had the pepper steak and the flavor was different than usual. Different in an okay way but eeehhh not so great. The service was good but then again there was really no one there. Good portion of food though. For 2 lunch plates a water and tea, it was about $25. Would I go back, probably not, there's many other better Chinese spots. This place was just in the area.
