1st time trying it. The food was delicious! I thought the portions were small, but we both ended up getting to-go boxes!!! The fried rice is awesome!! The almond chicken was crunchy like it was deep fried. What an unexpected delight!!!

The food here is delicious. The portions are large and the food comes out fast, hot and fresh eat time. The service was great.

Okay, buckle up. I grew up in the Cities, where MN-style chicken chow mein is everywhere—and moving out here, it’s been shockingly hard to find. On a whim, I tried JJ’s Garden and was immediately delighted. Their chicken chow mein is spot on: no slimy chicken, no bland sauce, just solid, old-school flavor.
The fried rice is absolutely delicious, the cream cheese wontons are perfectly crunchy with just the right touch of sweetness, and the egg rolls actually have flavor (not just cabbage filler). The sweet and sour is tangy and sweet—balanced, not cloying.
Honestly, it’s comforting to have a local place that’s consistent, delicious, and reminds me of classic Chinese takeout done right. I’ve already ordered twice since trying it, and I haven’t found a single thing I didn’t like. Tons of options, zero regrets.

We visited to celebrate a birthday as a family. It was our first visit. They were understaffed and the poor waitress was literally running to take care of all the orders. Our food came out unevenly, with one of our party of 7 receiving the only food for several minutes.This was uncomfortable for that guest. Then 5 received food, leaving one guest with no food for several minutes. That was uncomfortable for everyone. The food, however, was fresh and hot, and serving sizes were quite large. We each were unable to finish our “combo” portions, and everyone took a nice box of food home. The taste, to me, was not particularly “special,” but was good, and a hearty family quality. This casual restaurant gets an overall acceptable rating from me, for just good food, and a place to unwind.

Overall the food was great. The only thing we didn’t like that much was the beef & broccoli. We got the orange chicken, sweet & sour chicken and beef & broccoli combos. We will definitely come back the next time we’re wanting Chinese takeout but we wouldn’t order the beef and broccoli.

As far as the typical American Chinese food, it’s okay, nothing spectacular, but nothing wrong with it, either. If you like any typical Chinese restaurant in small-town America, you won’t be disappointed.
They also serve ridiculously large portions. One dinner special is likely enough to feed two grown adults. So, as far as value for the money, they’d be dang hard to beat.
I have not yet tried the sushi or the less-typical Asian food, I plan on updating once I’ve had the chance.

Ordered a 17$ fried rice and recieved it in those small rice boxes instead of the white to-go box, so to say the potion was extremely small for the price. Also worth mentioning, the fried rice tasted terrible!
The chicken on a stick was juicy and good

So happy to have decent Chinese food! It’s been years since I’ve had any that was this fresh. Even the eggroll had fresh cabbage in it. A great little gem in St. Cloud!

Best wontons ever! This place is new in town but I’m already a regular. My first visit I ordered sesame chicken lunch special and they nailed it! So good I came back 2 more times in the same week. The staff is super friendly and attentive and orders are made fast and fresh. They also have a bigger menu than any other Oriental restaurant I’ve been to in St. Cloud. Lots of things I’m not brave enough to try but I would recommend JJ Garden to anyone who enjoys Asian cuisine.
