“ I really enjoyed visiting J&J today. The food was excellent and the staff was very attentive and pleasant. I highly recommend it. I only give it a 4 star for atmosphere because the inside is dated. However, in my opinion--the quality of food and service outweighs the "ambience". ”

“ I worked in the restaurant industry for 15 years as an executive chef at some very fine dining establishments, J&J's is easily one of the best Asian restaurants I've ever eaten at. The curry chicken is my favorite but everything I've had here is fantastic. ”
