" I visited JL China House wanting to check out their famed fried crab, which ended up being fantastic! The sauce paired beautifully with it, and overall the flavors were authentic. I had to wait a bit since it was peak hours, but the staff was attentive once I got up to the counter. A cramped environment but definitely worth every bite! I can’t recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every dish I have tried has never disappointed! The flavor profiles are incredible. I particularly love their shrimp chow mein - a huge portion for a very reasonable price! The only downside is the service can be hit or miss; I've had experiences with wonderful staff and then some who just don't seem to care. It's still my go-to Chinese spot in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" I didn’t have the best experience at JL China House. The food was average, definitely nothing special and the plates were so full they were messy. I expected better quality given the reviews I read. The atmosphere is cramped, and I felt almost rushed. I wish they had kept the buffet style; it felt like everything was fresher back then. Probably won't be back for a while. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited the restaurant fully expecting a delectable experience based on the reviews. However, I felt let down. The food was somewhat bland, lacking the bold flavors that I expected from authentic Chinese cuisine. The portions were generous, which was nice, but I would rather have quality over quantity. The ambiance was cramped and uncomfortable, making it hard to enjoy my meal. Sadly, probably won't return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had visited JL China House expecting to have the best Chinese food as touted by friends. The food was genuinely good, but the way they serve it was all over the place, leading to an uncomfortable dining environment. The dishes seemed thrown together, which was surprising given the hype. I'm not sure if I'll go back anytime soon. " (*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*)
