👍👍 I stopped in and ordered, waited and it was done in good timing. I then went and got a car wash, put air in my tires, got home and let the dog out and then sat down to eat. I was expecting it to be cooled down since it was like 45 minutes to an hour since getting my food. The way it was bagged, was... People often mention good, service, chicken, Chinese, lunch,

    I stopped in and ordered, waited and it was done in good timing. I then went and got a car wash, put air in my tires, got home and let the dog out and then sat down to eat. I was expecting it to be cooled down since it was like 45 minutes to an hour since getting my food. The way it was bagged, was awesome! It kept everything warm and I didn't have to reheat anything! Will absolutely order takeout here again!

    The food taste very delicious. Their service is very good, they fix problem very quick. They serve the food very fast but when is busy they try their best to serve the food fast. I hear that their changing the menu because they have a new ownership. I hope their new recip will taste better than before.

    Best wontons ever! This place is new in town but I'm already a regular. My first visit I ordered sesame chicken lunch special and they nailed it! So good I came back 2 more times in the same week. The staff is super friendly and attentive and orders are made fast and fresh. They also have a bigger menu than any other Oriental restaurant I've been to in St. Cloud. Lots of things I'm not brave enough to try but I would recommend JJ Garden to anyone who enjoys Asian cuisine.

    Sad but they sold out, and the new owners have just kept their name. The food cost more, and you get less of it. Not to mention it really isn't all that good. I ended up not eating most of my dinner. I use to love this place, very well priced, and the food was the best in town.

    As far as the typical American Chinese food, it’s okay, nothing spectacular, but nothing wrong with it, either. If you like any typical Chinese restaurant in small-town America, you won’t be disappointed. They also serve ridiculously large portions. One dinner special is likely enough to feed two grown adults. So, as far as value for the money, they’d be dang hard to beat. I have not yet tried the sushi or the less-typical Asian food, I plan on updating once I’ve had the chance.

    The food is fresh and delish! The people are friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere is comfortable. I loved the music they had on was perfect. Not only will I be returning, I recommend others try it out. Best part? Prices on the lunch specials were just right. Worse part? Drinks are part of the "or" selection' egg roll or drink or wanton.

    I gave up on Chinese restaurants in the Saint Cloud and Sartell area. So disappointed for so long. I’m so glad I gave it another chance with JJs. I have missed good Chinese food for a long time. Fantastic food, service and you can tell they have high cleaning standards. I will be back soon! Thank you for quality food that my whole family enjoyed.

    The guy at the counter was unfriendly and rushed me through my order and was no better in person. The Sesame Chicken and Crab Rangoon were underwhelming and bland.

    NOTE: Service is Not One of their strengths! Hopefully the food is better! Ok, It was very delicious. We had the luncheon Veggie Delight and a spicy chicken dish. After the server charged our credit card the wrong amount the owner/ manager was very nice and made sure we were credited with the proper amount. Dinner must be a better time to visit. They do a large take-out business.

    The best wontons I’ve ever had. Nice restaurant. I moved to Minneapolis a few years ago and I still stop and get wontons when I’m in town. Taking one star off because the younger male staff makes things so awkward. I think he means well—just lacks customer service skills. The female staff is awesome and so sweet!

    WARNING: It’s good food but the service is not good and being double charged when the owner guaranteed we wouldn’t be; earns the 1 star rating! My wife thought it was a family run business and the younger server didn’t really want to be there. We will not be back anytime soon.

    This is a great little restaurant that has delicious food at reasonable prices. We had the crab cream cheese wontons, which were the best we have ever tasted. I had coconut chicken, fried rice and an egg roll for lunch for just $8.25. Huge portion so I took half home. Very good service.

    Hands down the best, and it is fantastic every single time. We drive 40 min to eat here and have never been disappointed. Fresh delicious food, generous portion sizes, and a large variety in the menu. I can say that as amazing as the food is, I can't wait until it is safe to be open for dine-in again because we miss the friendly people and amazing service too! You are amazing and we are so thankful that despite the challenges of the last 2 years, you are still here!

    So # 1, they don't serve sushi any more. #2, this is the best Chinese place in St. Cloud. My go to order is usually hot and sour soup and steamed dumplings, which they do well. Today, I had Kang Massamon, which was as good as Sawatdee's, and my husband had the Singapore Meifun, which I almost stole, it looked so good. Only small gripe is that the dine in portions are huge, you will be bringing it home for lunch. Take out sizes are more reasonable but lack the charming table service.

    Really, really great food!!! Super clean restaurant and the service was wonderful!!!!!! The proof is in how busy they were with to-go orders, there were 12 people who stopped in to pick up orders in the 30 minutes it took us to eat lunch. The donuts are outstanding!!!!!

    I’m so glad I found this place! Before I went here there was really nowhere in the St. Could area that served good Chinese food. Everything was skillfully cooked. The shrimp was tender and the vegetables were cooked but still crisp. Presentation of the food was good too.

    I can finally say I’ve found the best Chinese food in St. Cloud! I’ve been here twice now and both times the food was excellent. Would highly recommend trying this place out if you haven’t already!

  • 5/5 Linda I. 1 year ago on Google
    No frills good Chinese food. Very reasonably priced and generously portioned. We ordered beef and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken and teriyaki chicken. We liked every single dish. Ordered for take out and the food came out quickly and tasted very fresh.

    Been here a couple of times. We have been having good experiences. Last time, I tried the red curry, and it was good! Will be back again!

    They’re all so nice, I work an hour away and they were closing whn I ordered and they made my food and waited for me. I’m forever grateful because I work overnight in mpls and everything is closed during my lunch. Plus it’s always so good even when they are closing for the night your food is still hot and good.

    It's a lovely, family owned, small business. The food is great! Lots of verity on the menu and the portions are huge, you get a lot for your money. They are so kind and have amazing service. Their take-out service is very fast and the dining room is spacious and quiet. Love this place! Whenever I get Asian takeout I go here. <3

    Love the owners. Her and her son's are such a kind people. Great service and I'd say one of the best places for asian food in St. Cloud. Best wishes to this small business

    It is one of my favorite places to eat; every time I order food, it is perfect. It's always fresh. And I am super picky when it comes to food! It's been a while since I ate somewhere I want to return to. Also, their prices are very reasonable!

  • 3/5 Linda H. 4 months ago on Google
    Very hit or miss with items on the menu. The General Tso, cream cheese wantons, shrimp fried rice are very good. The shrimp lo mien was very greasy and the cashew chicken was terrible. The vegetables in the cashew chicken (carrots and celery) were way too big and hard, the chicken wasn’t chicken from what I could see. It was more like lumps of fried batter. When cut into there was no detectable meat at all.
