Cozy Inn Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Janesville

Meh. Overall disappointed. After reading the reviews here (mostly 4 and 5 star) I was expecting much better.

Pros: Liked the more traditional decor, and the service was very good. Egg rolls were pretty good, but as other reviewers said, they were a tad mushy. I like a tad mushy but the wife doesn't. The internals are all ground into a paste like consistency. The outer shell was crispy. Like I said, I liked them from a flavor standpoint which is why I have these in the plus column. We both got the sweet-sour soup which was "ok". My wife ordered the Four Seasons Delight ($17.95) dinner which consisted of beef, chicken, shrimp, and BBQ pork in a tasty dark sauce. Really was good.

Cons: I ordered the Sweet and Sour Supreme ($17.95) dinner consisting of chicken, pork, and shrimp in sweet and sour sauce. Not good. Way overcooked and the chicken and pork were tough as leather. The batter was way overcooked. Can't say much about the shrimp in the dish in that there was only one itsy bitsy teeny weeny little shrimp.

Overall, I thought the pricing was a little steep for the quality and quantity for these "specials" which included the cup of soup and egg roll. Price stings more when one of the dinners was not good. Don't think we'll be going back. I gave this 3 stars only because the service was good and we like the older...

Pulled up to Cozy Inn in JVL w/ my daughter & yo this place is straight ✨HISTORY✨ 💯 been holdin it down for a whole century 🗓️ like legit 100 yrs of vibes 🤯. Soon as u step in it’s got that OG Chinese restaurant decor 🍜🖼️, neon nostalgia vibes 📞🤳 (yes there’s a phone booth for the selfie sesh 📸🔥) and a whole memory book 📖 where ppl wrote down their feels from decades back 🥹💌.

Service? Straight immaculate 🧼💎 staff was hella friendly, treated us like fam 👨‍👩‍👧💞. Atmosphere = cozy core + throwback aesthetic 🎎🕯️. Food? bruh don’t even get me started 🤤🍚🍤 every single bite was bussin bussin 🚀🚀 had me & my kid lookin at each other like “yo this slaps harder than it should” 🥡💯.

They ain’t win Janesville Gazette’s “Best Asian Restaurant” like a bazillion times for no reason 🏆📰 it’s OBVIOUS once u sit down & grub 🙌🏽🔥. Honestly, it’s the kinda spot that makes you think, “dang, if I had brought my ex here sooner maybe she wouldn’t be my ex” 😂💔 (my bad, Cozy Inn, that one’s on me).

Everything about this spot is a W ✅✅✅. If u in JVL & u don’t hit Cozy Inn, ur actually selling urself...

We tried them on a recommendation. We did carry out. They were busy, which was a good sign. Bad sign, we got the order home and crab rangoons were missing. We ordered 2 egg rolls, these were very good. Sweet and sour shrimp (there were 7 shrimp in the order, kind of a small amount) they were ok. I liked the sauce. Kind of a heavy breading, but ok for flavor, probably would not order them again. Shrimp egg foo yung, this came with 3 patties and lots of sauce, these were good! The pork fried rice was good. We had to go back and get the crab rangoons as we paid cash and don’t live near here (babysitting in town tonight). These were nice and hot, as they were fresh, but not great and I love crab rangoons! I was a bit dissappointed that when we went back to get the forgotten food there wasn’t an extra Rangoon or egg roll to make up for the inconvenience, aggravation and cold food (as the rest of the food had to be heated up at this point). Food was average priced, average taste, friendly staff. Not sure we’d try it again when Janesville has so many choices...
