J Zhou Oriental Cuisine

I’ve been to J Zhou a few times for their banquet-style meals, and I always enjoyed the food. This time, I visited with my fiancé and tried dishes from their regular menu. We came here on a Sunday night for dinner and there was no wait. We tried the stir-fried beef rice noodles ($19.88), stir-fried choy sum with pork ($22.58), half-roasted Peking duck ($28.98), and lobster with ginger/scallion sauce (28.88/lb - we got a 2.98 lb lobster). Overall was impressed with the food here and enjoyed everything! The beef rice noodles were absolutely delicious - had a great stir-fry flavor and wasn’t overly salty. The beef was tender and soft. The choy sum was cooked and flavored nicely. The Peking duck was probably the best I’ve had in Orange County so far. The duck pieces were large, and the skin was crispy. It came with soft, fluffy buns and the standard scallions/duck sauce. The lobster was also really tasty. The pieces were tender, and the ginger, scallion flavor was strong. Ambiance was nice with fancy-looking chandeliers. The service was fast, and the waiters were nice and cleared our plates throughout the meal and gave us new plates. Prices were on the higher end because of the upscale nature of this Chinese restaurant and since it’s in Orange County, but the food quality was definitely outstanding!

J Zhou has been a staple in Tustin for many years, and it’s easy to understand why. It’s a trusted Chinese restaurant for the community. We came for lunch dim sum and ordered a bunch of dishes. The baked BBQ pork buns were amazing, with soft buns and delicious BBQ pork inside. I also enjoyed their fried spring egg rolls; they were crispy with tasty shrimp filling. Everything came out fresh and flavorful. Service was good and the environment is very pleasant. Parking is easy since it’s located in a large shopping mall. A reliable spot for dim sum in Tustin.

Best Cantonese food and dim sum in this area. Roast duck is my favorite, plenty of options which you don’t normally get in US. My main complaint is their table, it’s not very comfortable to sit. Service is not consistent, sometimes you get really good service, but there are times where waiters seems to be in a bad mood

If you want high quality AND authentic dim sum, J Zhou is the place for you. The service is responsive and efficient. In addition to menu items, they would roll out extra menu items on carts throughout the restaurant. They have the ordering sheet but also have a menu with pictures to help people choose. I like the decoration and appreciate that they use linen for the table and provide an extra pair of chopstick for service. This is my out go-to Dim Sum place when I am in OC area.

We went in for last minute dinner and it turned out wonderful. The servers were a bit preoccupied due to a large gathering in the banquet hall but they still did their best to tend to us. The food, especially the fried rice, was very good.

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Food is decent. The menu is diverse. Many shrimp dishes. Congee is sweet and good. I will come for other dishes

“Fancy chandeliers, white tablecloths, and a dim sum menu that goes on forever. Steamed rice rolls with BBQ pork stole the show, but honestly, this place makes oriental dining feel both fun and elegant.”
