I love going here for dinner after going to church at St. Ferdinand parish. It is a medium sized restaurant. Has clean tables and bathrooms. Waiters take your order quickly, but it is very busy here so it may take 20-30 minutes for your order to arrive. I love the beef lo mein, fish with black bean sauce, mapo tofu, and Korean style ribs. Their orange chicken and fried rice is good too. All these dishes are big portions and very savory. I love getting a mango smoothie with tapioca here. It is always sweet and cold.

We ordered for first time tonight. Selection was outstanding. Egg rolls reg and veggie were delicious and large. Chicken with peapods-fresh, peapods were crisp. Mongolian beef and beef scezhwan were.on point. Chicken pan fried dumplings are delicious. We will be ordering again to try more items.

My go-to Chinese/Pan Asian spot! I've never dined-in but Jess is full of happy dine-in customers every time I've picked up my food. The place is very ducked off with no frills but people aren't coming for the ambiance - it's the amazing menu they want. This last time we got our usual - orange chicken (Sweet with a nice spicy kick. SO flavorful), bbq pork lo mein (perfectly cooked & sauced every time), and beef & broccoli (tender meat and veggies with an amazing savory sauce). I also tried the Korean dumplings (not pictured and they were cooked beautifully. Chicago has let me down in the past in regard to Chinese food specifically; im so thankful to have come across this place and will remain loyal to Jess when I want some orange chicken in my life!

Ordered on Grubhub I ordered shrimp fried rice crab Rangoon chicken skin and an egg roll. The food was good I have to admit there was a lot of stuffing the crab Rangoon overall it was good. I ordered the chicken skin and they taste like pork rinds never had them before but they are ok .

Mmmmmmmm. I miss this place. It's really good. Beef pad Thai was a strange color but so delicious!! Even the baby loved it. I should have taken a photo of him but I was digging in and couldn't multitask. Husband got the basil chicken. He is not big on Asian food which is why we don't come here more often. I mean it's only 5-10 minutes from our home. We should come once a week!!! Oh well. I'm gonna start sneaking on my weekday lunches when he's working. We also had to sneak a red bean coconut smoothie. Couldn't let our boy see it cause then we wouldn't get a sip. Hubby likes it. So I said I'd share it although I didn't really want too. Service is great. They'll get super busy but they'll get to you eventually. Anyway, check them out. Food is great and reasonably priced. Less than $40 with tax and tip. I'd rather spend it here than Panera which is where my husband prefers for the fresher / healthier. But honestly, we spent 42 the other day at Panera for 2 cups of soup, 1/2 a salad, 1/2 a sandwich and a cup of macaroni/cheese. Really?! I know. Everything is much more expensive nowadays. Well, we can get healthy options at Jenn's too! They have many options. Veggies and tofu and other yummy options.
