Reviews for J'S Kitchen in Naperville, IL
A great addition to Naperville area that serves chinese food which is halal too. We have already tried some of their options and... would love to explore more. And I also hope that they add more halal items to their menu. My only drawback is that theappetizers are pricey for what you get. Read more

Clean and airy. Our waitress was very kind. *Cubed beef rice was very tasty ?????? ordered two extra to go ???? *Shredded potato... needs a bit of vinegar *The spicy noodle soup is numbing but the spice blend was average.

Excellent spicy beef noodle soup! Everything we ordered (spicy beef noodle soup, Chongqing noodle soup, panfried dumplings, and... chicken wings) were hot, fresh and delicious. The flavor of the spicy beef noodle soup was very fragrant. It's not too spicyIMHO and very flavorful. Beef was tender. Portion size standard for Naperville Chinese restaurants. The thick noodles have thatQQ quality Chinese people love. Chongqing noodles were significantly more spicy. The thin noodles were straight and perfectlycooked. This is an oily dish (it's supposed to be) and I found the balance just right. Pork panfried Dumplings were a surprisehit. Plain exterior but very juicy and a solid staple. Chicken wings were generous in size, juicy, standard Chinese styleflavor. These were good but not as uniquely outstanding as the other three dishes. J's kitchen may be my new favorite beefnoodle soup place in this part of town. Highly recommend giving this restaurant a try! Restaurant is very clean and spacious.bathrooms were simple and clean.

I?ve been looking for a good Chinese place in Naperville for 20 years. Some are better than others but nothing has wowed me... until today. If you?re looking for the same dishes you can find at every other Chinese restaurant then J?s may not be for you(although it has some typical dishes), but if you want something really exceptional give J?s a try. I normally over order at anew place hoping I?ll get one good dish. At J?s, it was hard to pick my favorite. The Chongqing Traditional Street Noodle wasprobably my favorite although the Beijing Noodle with Soybean Paste was a close second. The Marinated Tofu over Rice, while asimple dish was also very flavorful. Even the chicken fried rice was outstanding. I can?t wait to return to J?s and sample somemore dishes. Also, if you are looking for a drink that is a little bit different try one of the cheezo teas. They sort of tastelike a fruity cheesecake. I?m so happy to see a fantastic new Chinese restaurant in Naperville and I hope it?ll be around along time! Read more
J's Kitchen is a nice, new casual strip mall eatery with a quality Sichuan style (Northern Chinese) menu. You order with and... pay the receptionist, find a table, and they bring the food to you when ready. They currently have a very attractive $15 lunchspecial deal (11am - 3pm) which includes a starter, a main dish, and a drink. It's a great deal firstly because there's plentyof authentic and delicious food, and secondly starters alone can range from $5-$9 and main dishes from $12-$13. We both alsohad their plum juice for the drink which alone goes for $3. The starter with the lunch special is a smaller serving than theregular starter, but it's still a deal. So, the wife ordered their braised beef shank slices and garlic pork ribs over rice. Iordered their signature Sichuan style beef burger and signature spicy beef noodle soup (but easy on the spice level). All ofthe meats were tasty and flavorful and the thick noodles in the soup were well made with a good fresh texture. The lunchspecial was also a particularly nice way for us to try a variety of their dishes. You can tell the dishes are fresh and made toorder as there was a little bit of a wait and they came out piping hot. We were the only ones dining in at this weekday lunchtime, but we did see several carryout orders (not surprising given that they're located in a strip mall with a Jewel). Theserver/receptionist was friendly and the ladies working the open kitchen were visible at times. Their space is clean and airy. Check 'em out if you're having a hankering for good Sichuan style servings! Read more
Not your usual Chinese food. The menu has a variety from mostly the north and west regions of China. Super delicious! We... tried the braised pork rice bowls, shredded potato salad, spicy wontons, Sichuan dishes, lamb soup, beef wonton soup, friedchicken strips and naan! Everything was favorable and well prepared. Sweet and sour plum juice was nostalgic. Friendlyservice. Clean simple decor. We will definitely come back. Halal menu available as well. Read more
