" Each visit to JL China House feels like a homecoming. The food transports you straight to China. I highly recommend their fried crab; the freshness and flavor are unmatched. The prices are also fair, especially given how much food you receive. The only downside is that it can get crowded during peak hours, but that’s just testament to how good it really is. If you're looking for a Chinese restaurant that feels authentic, this is it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I come to JL China House, I'm reminded of why I keep returning. Their orange chicken is on another level, its flavors sweet and tangy, a perfect match with their fluffy rice. I sometimes make it a family outing, and we all share one big platter! The ambiance is really casual and cozy, making it a comfortable place to grab a bite. I’ve always found the staff to be efficient and lovely! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is well-known for its huge portions but my latest experience was disappointing. I ordered a variety of items, including their famous salt and pepper wings, only to find them over-fried and lacking flavor. The wait was long and the outdoor seating wasn't comfortable at all. It's a real shame as I had fond memories of much better food. Probably won't be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Today I thought I’d try JL China House for the first time, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The food tasted fresh, and the staff worked hard to keep up with the line that was out the door. I got the orange chicken, and honestly, it's one of the best I've had! I will definitely be back to try more dishes. Plus, the portions cannot be beaten! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I recently visited JL China House, and we were blown away by the portions! We ordered the garlic shrimp and chicken chow mein, and what we received could easily feed twice as many people. The flavors were rich and felt authentic to traditional Chinese cuisine. We will definitely be returning for more delicious takeout. Just a heads up, the service was okay—somewhat slow, but the food made up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" After a long workday, I decided to grab dinner from JL China House. My friend ordered a tray of kung pao chicken, and it was powerful! The flavor was excellent. I opted for a platter of fried rice, and I'm amazed at the size of the portions! A few people were in line before me, but it was worth the wait. The service was friendly but occasionally disorganized. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered take-out from JL China House and it was absolutely incredible! The flavors were on point, and the portion sizes far exceeded my expectations. I had the fried rice and some spring rolls, and I can't recommend them enough. The only drawback was the wait time; I had to wait about 25 minutes, which is a bit longer than expected. Overall, fantastic food! " (*Curated Review*)
