JJ Noodle House — Restaurant in Chino Hills

Food remains consistently tasty, however, I ordered the bamboo with pork strips plate and the flavoring was way too strong. I felt it was loaded with MSG or some variant. The bamboo was definitely not fresh when I ate it. But the flavor completely over powered the old bamboo taste. The pork meat were cut so thin and small, there seems hardly any meat at all lol. They tried to skimp out there. I will not order this combo plate again.

Pork Chop Rice is still the plate to get. Very big and tons of meat to go with it!!! Wow!!! It’s the plate I always get every time I eat here. Pork chop flavor is spot on with what a real pork chop should taste like. Chinese, American, Mexican, Australian.........it’s what a pork chop should taste like. Compliments to the chef on that one! The dual pork chops was HUGE!!!!!!!! The rice it came with is abundant and flavorful with a ground pork mix, lightly marinated. Came with preserved cabbage and marinated boiled egg. So good! Perfect blend of flavor and texture. This was a pleasant to eat and I highly recommend this dish to anyone unless you’re Muslim. lol. It’s because of the pork and this is fully loaded with it.

Their spinach vegetable or “A”-spincach vegetable was stir fried to perfection. Excellent taste and light on the garlic. Just enough to give it a nice aroma and makes your mouth water at the same time. We asked for light salt because last time, they added too much. So watch for that.

Spicy wonton is pretty good too. Their pork stuffing was so fresh and tasty. It tasted very very similar to the “xiao long bao” meat. Mmmm. And you know how that taste. Just excellent. Not overly spicy either despite advertising spicy. Has a little bit of a quick but the spicy flavoring is good and goes well with this dish. Don’t order this plain or not spicy. It’ll ruin the taste. I was so hungry, I did not take a picture of this lol. But it comes in a small bowl with like 6-9 of those little meat filled wontons? I think.

We also ordered their eggplant dish combo. I’m a huge fan of eggplants and they’re just ok here. They added some seasoning to it that I don’t particularly like. I love the natural eggplant flavor and even with garlic added to it is fine but they added something to it that changed the flavor completely. Fortunately, I could still taste eggplants after a few bits in so I mowed it down. Luckily, I just love eating eggplants lol. But if I had to be picky about it, I would probably not order this again because of the mystery seasoning.

Overall, I like coming here. There were a couple questionable plates but it won’t stop me from coming back and trying more plates. Taste overall was satisfying. They’ve always been good to me.

Customer service is excellent!!! Because it’s such a small dine in area, they’re attention to you is just superb. They see everything lol. Very responsive and polite. Very customer friendly and oriented.

Only thing I cringe at when I come here is hoping it’s not too packed lol. Yeah. Don’t want to come all this way just to wait 15-30 min. So far, so good. We’ve always found a seat whether it’s a tiny two person table and if we get lucky, a large booth.

I highly recommend this place despite a couple of “off” tasting dishes. There’s a lot on their menu and everyone’s taste preference is different. Remember, their pork chop rice is my recommendation. Especially if you’re hungry, this will fill you up!!!

Happy...

One of the best hidden gems for Chinese/Taiwanese food in Chino Hills is JJ Noodle House. This has been one of our go-to spots in the Chino Hills area and it consistently hits the spot! Here's what we typically order:

Beef stew noodle soup, $17.99 with home made noodle and $19.99 with hand cut noodle (rate 5/5): this is one of the best Taiwanese beef noodle soups we've found in this area. We've tried both types of noodle and both are great, we prefer the hand cut noodle a little bit more for the $2 extra. Order this!

Fish fillet w/ Szechuan sauce, $17.99 (rate 4.5/5): fried fish in Szechuan sauce, what's not to love? Served with wood ear mushrooms and bamboo shoots, just fyi.

Eggplant w/ basil, $14.39 (rate 4.5/5): heaping pile of eggplant sauteed with basil leaves. Delicious.

Shrimp w/ pepper salt, $17.98 (rate 4.5/5): salt and pepper shrimp, lots of onions and chopped jalapenos. Delish!

Spicy cucumber, $9.99 (rate 4/5): great appetizer dish of fresh cucumbers in spicy sauce

I've also tried the Szechuan pork dry noodle with hand cut noodle ($17.99) once and that was amazing as well. Can't go wrong here! It's in the 99 Ranch plaza close to the new Paris Baguette. Check out JJ Noodle House - it...

Flavor We got the szechuan pork with eggplant, salt and pepper squid, young chow fried rice, spicy wontons, spicy cucumbers, and the Taiwanese vermicelli noodles. They all tasted fantastic but the one odd thing was the batter of the calamari. I was expecting something lighter, like a tempura batter, but it was more similar to breading that you might find in American foods - thicker and crunchier. The standout dish for me was the spicy wontons.

Service You order from your phone after scanning a QR code, which sends your order to the kitchen. You'd expect that with this process, you wouldn't be tended to, but there is actually a waitress and she was helpful in guiding us and being us water regularly.

Price I thought the food was fairly priced. We purposely ordered a diverse range of items and including the food we took home and it was about $15/meal

Vibes It was a clean and cozy restaurant with comfy booth seating. Nothing too notable, but a few decorations and a fish tank....
