J J Chinese Kitchen - West Valley City

*also known as Rice Garden* They’ve been here for YEEEAAARRRSSS! And I only know about them from my mom, she use to bring us here since they first opened. But now my mom is no longer here with us but we(my husband and I)come here at least once a week and they have never disappointed! My husband is from San Francisco and he said since being in Utah this is by far the best Chinese “fast food” spot he’s been to. Big portions and the workers are super nice and friendly especially the lady that’s usually always there. My favorite is the rice noodles and their orange chicken is?

I love their barbecue pork and that's why I go there but today they really did me wrong. I asked if there was an avaliable fresh batch of the Broccoli Beef because the one there looked old. She said it was coming so I waited a couple of minutes. I like my broccoli green so I don't mind waiting. Dish comes out and I was distracted on my phone so I didn't see what I was served. As I ordered she was nice but I did notice that at the end she acted a little strange. The receipt says her name is Jana. She gave me the old dish plus two pieces of the fresh broccoli. I was polite waiting. I work in the restaurant business and I know how that's like. My question is why would she do that?

I personally think this place is ok for cheap and fast Chinese food. My food seemed fresh and flavorful. Do think they could be a little more generous with their portions. Seems like they’re a bit greedy tbh. Also, I don’t like how they give you plastic utensils without protection. They just put a plastic fork in the bag with no cover. Other than that I think the food is fine. I would go again.

Was handling cash and tablet with gloves on and then proceeds to serve me with the same gloves on. No good practice of sanitation.

Walked by this place for years thinking I should try it. Finally did.enjoyed it very much.
