We had the cold Sichuan noodle, Mapo tofu with chicken, and gong Bao chicken. Everything was unexpectedly spicy but that’s exactly how I like it. Will be going back to try new things!

Solid place! Cheap and semi quick service. The worker was very knowledgeable on the menu and helped with getting the most authentic dish. Inside atmosphere could be a little better and I wish there were a few more authentic dishes that weren’t americanfied but overall a good place for a UP cheap takeout restaurant

One of my favorite places to go in the area. JJ is awesome and works very hard. The wait can be long because they are in such high demand. JJ is generally the only one cooking but his food is always worth the wait. This is primarily a take out business so your best chance is going in person. In house dining is available but it’s still only counter service. They prioritize in house customers so if they don’t answer the phone they are likely already swamped. Again, only one cook so be patient and trust you will have the best Chinese food in houghton. I’ve been addicted to his general tso, always adding broccoli and jalapeños to make it extra spicy.

JJ’s is one of the two good Chinese takeout places in Houghton (along with Ming’s). The sesame chicken and general chicken are both very good, and the egg drop soup is exactly the “takeout style” that I like.
The reasons I only give it four stars are because the menu was only available online on Facebook which *requires* you to make an account to see it. A restaurant shouldn’t purposefully make it difficult to see their menu online, especially when Google maps has a menu feature built in. They also only accept cash which makes it kind of difficult since my bank doesn’t have an ATM up here (and it’s kinda gross in a pandemic).

good stuff, I recommend trying all of the menu because some of my classic favorites are there! Highly recommend the za jiang noodles(Highly missed item from back home). popular for a reason, so be sure to order as fast as possible and have cash on you!

Food was hot and great! Pictured is the general chicken with steamed rice. Perfect amount of spice and sweetness. They do only accept cash or check right now so just be aware of that. Really friendly lady at the cash register 🙂

The good reviews on here have to be fake, paid for, or just people who have never left the yoop and haven’t tried Chinese food in different places. Chinese food is my favorite and I’ve tried it in almost every state in the country, this is the worst. JJ’s Not worth the price or the time going there. 24 dollars for a serving of orange chicken, 5 crab rangoon, 1 sauce, and an Arizona ice tea and that’s not including the fee for the atm across the street because it’s cash only. The orange chicken is not what you would ever expect, it’s like grilled chicken cut up into tiny pieces in soy sauce with big vegetables, 2 pieces of red peppers, and 3 tiny strips of orange peels. I would rate the crab Rangoon a 5/10 it wasn’t bad but isn’t something I would ever order again. The sauce for the Rangoon is a extra dollar an oz. I asked for sweet and sour sauce for the Rangoon but they gave me whatever sauce they had that was a dollar. I tossed the sauce right out, disgusting. I’ve never not wanted to eat at a Chinese restaurant again before in my life but I’ll never go here again.

Incredibly expensive for what you get, taste is average. Order of chicken at ~$13 didnt even come with rice.. so I asked for rice and was charged $3 for some white rice. The worker then weighed it out on a scale to make sure i got the exact amount of white rice…

Overall, unimpressed. Just happened to be hungry while driving through. Chicken and veggies seemed like the best option, but I was weary. From the front, I could see their chicken thighs sitting out over their sink in a pile. Place smelled strongly of oil and salt, and the overall atmosphere felt like the opening of a laundromat.
Chicken and veggies – chicken was oily and overly salty. Everything else tasted like it was just poured out of an aluminum can. ALSO, way too many whole pieces of ginger in the brown sauce.
I’m sure it’s not a bad place. It’s just not up to par with what I’m used to.
