J Zhen Asian Bistro & Bar

When I arrived, the man could not figure out which order was mine because they did not put names on the orders.I have eaten here several times and used to love this place. I noticed the food was changing, but my most recent experience guarantees I will never return. I picked up food on my way to work so I could eat it for lunch. I work 3rd shift. I decided to try a little after being at work for about 30 minutes. The "fried rice" was hard white rice that someone reheated in soy sauce. It had no flavor and was nothing but dark brown rice in the box. It was so hard that I wondered if it was put in a microwave. The mongolian beef had a musty taste to the meat, and the sauce was almost slimy. There is no way it was fresh. I am not sure what has changed, and if that doesn't improve, I hope they close. DO NOT EAT HERE!!!

I Have Uber Eated Some Wings (this is the 2nd time) and They Were Perfectly Cooked, Consistent Flavor and Nice Portion Size!! DONT SLEEP ON J ZHENS WING SKILLS!!!

I came into this establishment right when they opened around 3pm. There was a younger Asian guy with a mustache who serviced me. He seated me but never asked me what I wanted to drink or brought any silverware. I waited 10 minutes and watched him engage with the bartender when I finally got up and told him I was ready to order. I ordered the spicy wings and spicy chicken lo mein. The wings were dry and the lo mein was bland. There was a decent selection of urban R&B music playing and the bar filled up quickly. I’ll pass on the food.

This restaurant is the meet up spot for the Northside Columbus African American community. I felt like I was a a family reunion. The owners of this restaurant are amazing and very loving. There are many regulars who come here and continue the consistency in the atmosphere being very lively. The food was amazing. My favorite food item was the Buckeye Eggroll. It was a Philly cheesesteak wrapped into a nice breaded coating. The Zhen noodles which has chicken in it was amazing. If anything is wrong with your order they are good at making it right for you. If you order the wings please eat the onions with it because it’s an experience. The onions are not on the plate for no reason. How they are cooked adds flavor to the wings. I will most definitely go back. The owner knows what he is doing when it comes to the mix drinks. This is the spot to catch up, relax, laugh, and even catch a game. I’ve never been to a Chinese Restaurant like this before.

Amazingly delicious. Their signature J Zhen wings are sinful. The aroma of their wings are temptation incarnate. Literally. Nicely seasoned and cooked. Decent prices. Friendly service. Cool bar accompanied with some good tunes.
