Jofen Oriental — Attraction in Bolingbrook

Friendly staff. But careful at the checkout. Register staff gets overwhelmed with phone calls and ringing items & over charged you?! Double check everything and pay attention to what you bought at the register. I live in Indiana. I work in the area. We’re tired and it’s a long day. We want something quick!? We go here because it’s convenient. But not to suffer from getting ripped off and served spoiled,rotten food. There times!? we called in & asked if they have Salmon head available for sale. They said,yes! Now, the lighting inside the store not that great. I can’t tell?if the Salmon head was fresh?I bought 8 heads. Got home, cleaned it for cooking. All of the sudden the stench of this Salmon was horrible. So, we thought!? Maybe we boiled it?it can be salvaged.And then,the soup was showing bubbles.( we making sinigang) we even tried to fry it. Instead? We stop before cooking all together. Before,we get food poisoning. We called and was told to bring back. Now, I can’t bring the rotten cook pot. It was thrown out. I was told, that I should had brought it back with other uncooked food.!?🤮🤮😱😱 & was told those Salmon was fresh and freezes after removal of the head from the Salmon body. But even, Frozen food has expiration dates. We can’t control things sometimes.As far The restaurant?! Ohhh 😮!? Be careful. Because, they reheated food. 👨‍🍳 👩‍🍳 over 2-4 days old. My favorites was deserts (ginataan) gluten mixed with sticky rice, sweet potato, jackfruit, pearl ball. I got home over 1 hr. Drive. I heated it up for a minute in the microwave. It’s started bubbling and it has the sour taste & smells. I called & told them. My whole experienced was just bad. Never buy hot meals here unless it’s just freshly cooked & you see it just cook?! And sniff it with your 👃. never buy frozen food unless you bring a bright flashlight 🔦 and use your sniff test nose 👃. Prior to buying. I know that it’s hard to own a business without spending and wasting money. When it comes to food !? we aren’t supposed to wasted. But?!You better believe !? Food poisonings is REAL!? your customer Jofen will either die of it or SUE and closed this...

We come here often after work or workout. When you don't want to cook when an exhausted day. We go here most of the time is everyday. My favorite -are hot meals. Especially, milk fish(banged). We buy and spend meals between $ 20-$45. I was told that most of the hot food aren't fresh.Since, I've moved in the area from Indiana.now, I resides in Romeoville. I've been visiting this place. I had noticed that I purchased my favorites Bangus. When I got home getting ready for dinner. Heat for 5-7 min. 350 degrees. (the Fish Bangus.) its tasted like a chewy sponge. I was told it was fresh!? It's more like fresh recooked for another day.After I had tried calling but the store was close over the weekend for Holyweek. 4/14/2017. When I finally able to speak to someone(4/17/2017)!? I was told to return the fish with the receipts. Garbage truck picked our garbage over the weekend. I was just simply, want to say that I didn't want refund just cook me fresh hot meals. Not re-sell unsold hot food the next day till it's sold. The eatery isn't fresh. Anytime the hot food isn't sold they re heat...
