JJ's Family Restaurant in Thunder Bay

I like to come here often whether I m with friends or family and I always feel like I m at home, the food is great, the service is always nice, and I m never hungry after spending a fair price at this restaurant will always come back

Best wontons ever!! Chicken balls too!! You would not be disappointed!!! At least try their wontons!!! Trust me!! They are like no other!! (Except Village Market as there are family ties/recipe from old Intowner I believe is what I recall)!! But JJs also has the best staff, atmosphere and OWNER!! Shout out to Trang!!! xoxox

Best honey garlic ribs and Wontons in the city! Service is great and the owners are the nicest people you ll see! Don t come to Thunder Bay without trying JJs!

Nice staff, Good food.

Amazing customer service and even better food Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating and caring towards kids Food : 5/5 |

Food taste great and wasn t expecting such nice customer service. Portions are also very generous good bang for buck high recommend trying out

We were visiting Thunder Bay from Southern Ontario and we ordered take out food. The food is very delicious and we got HUGE portions and service is excellent! When we visit this City again, we will definitely come back here. I strongly recommend this restaurant!

This was a Im gonna try this cuz it looks weird and its my birthday stop. I gotta tell you, Im so glad we did. The staff are AMAZING!! So friendly and helpful. The food is DELISH! And who ever decided that sweet and sour red sauce and Poutine go together....my hats off to you! 2 thumbs up. Major high five! This place is a MUST eat at to believe

Amazing people with generous and highly appreciated customer service

Excellent food and service. A must if your visiting Thunder bay.

The Vietnamese food is good, but it seems pricey to me at $21+tax. The poutine seemed to be made with shredded mozzarella instead of cheese curds and wasnt really great.

The best poutine in the world and the worker there is wonderful

Tap in

I DEVOURED this plate. They re food is amazing and the chicken balls were BALLIN . Highly recommended.

Very good poutine with lots of cheese and I like trang. The staff is really nice Ive been coming here since I was a kid and overall a great restaurant.

Been coming here since Ive been a kid and I love the chicken balls and spring rolls amazing family resturant

Amazing place to eat a nice warm meal with some awesome people 10/10

I remember going to this restaurant back in 2006 with my father regularly and how amazing the food was. Recently, I made a trip back to Thunder Bay and I knew I had to see if JJs was still open. Thankfully it is and it doesnt look like its going away anytime soon! Its just how I remembered it, cozy interior, delicious, huge proportioned food at an amazing price. The staff are so kind and lovely, I even recognized 2 of them from way back when I was a kid ordering from there. For me, it is the best place to eat in the city. Next time I am back in Thunder Bay I will be making a return here, as should you if you a local or just visiting the city. Thank you for such an amazing time! Kid-friendliness: Wonderful kids menu, options that kids would like and a good price.

Amazing food and service. The owner Trang is so friendly and welcoming I will definitely be back. Best noodle bowl in town :)

Great food. More food then we could imagine. Excellent staff, happy, friendly, smiling and helpful. Best Family Restaurant in Thunder Bay. Thanks.

Very good and kind service, good taste of food and variety of choices in the menu

Great food, friendly staff!

The waitress was perfect and friendly, the owner was above and beyond. 10/10

Been going here for over a decade. Best chinese food in town hands down. Trang you are the bomb!! Always giving extra food and always massive portions. 3rd time this week ordering food and all 3 times I got something extra. THANK YOU!!

I stopped in to try the Buttermilk Chicken Noodle Bowl. Personally, I felt it was better than Sams Kitchen and Noodle Bowl. The Portion of noodles is roughly the same, but as far as everything else, you get more, I was full afterwards. As far as flavour, well I am not a picky guy, it had fresh ingredients, the sauce was similar, a dab of hot sauce. Part of what I like about going to JJs, is the small diner feel, the diversity of people, how they treat their customers, servicers are always interacting with kids, the owner loves talking to everyone. The menu is limited to what it was from years before, but the way the menu states, they stuck with the classics and favorites. Definitely going back for Noodle Bowl and the Chinese Food.

Delicious food staff awesome

Real good. They have very good portion sizes for the price.

The first indication that this is a popular/great place was that the 70 80 seat capacity filled within a half hour of opening. People, of all sorts, seemed happy to be there, and brought the atmosphere of this fairly dated establishment immediately to life. The second and most extraordinary aspect was the owner, a lady who came out to greet us first-timers with a warm demeanour and made an effort to stop and chat. Minutes after we placed our order, the lady came out with a significant helping of a complimentary enriched wonton soup that was head and shoulders above any dish we had throughout our 5 days of dining out in Thunder Bay. This free serving was so generous that we could not start the actual dishes we ordered, and had to take them away. However, we did have a little taste of the egg rolls, chicken balls, fried rice, and the honey garlic ribs; every item was definitive comfort food; the chicken balls were mostly chicken and not deep-fried batter, and the ample, tastefully marinated meat on the ribs melted off the bones. No corners are being cut at this family restaurant. What else can be said? The mens bathroom was clean, the servers and kitchen staff were friendly, efficient, and not intrusive, nor did they visibly show any strain in keeping the full house satisfied. The cost of dining here was the final indicator that this restaurant intends to far exceed other dining establishments in all aspects. As we have never done before, we left a 45% tip. Superbly done, thank you for that master class on what a great dining experience should look, feel, and taste like!!

I had the pleasure of dining at JJs Restaurant last night for supper and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. First of all, the food was outstanding. I ordered large wonton soup and chicken fried rice and both dishes were prepared to perfection. The flavors were rich and authentic, and each bite was a delight. What truly stood out was the impeccable customer service. Gabbie the server and Trang were incredibly attentive and friendly throughout the entire meal. They went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of excellent. I will definitely be returning in the future.

Awesome place to eat

Nothing but great things to say about our experiences here, this place is one of a kind! Behind very generous portions is delicious food and the most friendly owners/staff; absolute gem for thunder bay and a 10/10 recommend by our entire family

Food and service were awesome.

This restaurant was absolutely amazing. The staff were the sweetest people ever. The food was immaculate for fantastic pricing and portions. We were taken such good care of. I would definitely recommend jjs to everyone.

I ve been going to JJ s for as long as I can remember. It it by far my favourite restaurant. The servers and Trang treat everyone like family, very welcoming. The food is amazing and portions are more than enough. You leave there happy and full!

Always good food. Bring your appetite because they give you huge portions!

This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal. The food is stupendous and delicious. The service is fantastic. I highly recommend eating here.

Came here by chance for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the BEST VIETNAMESE NOODLE BOWL in the city! Service is fast, friendly, and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Ill definitely be back to try more dishes, and look forward to pho being added to the menu!

Friendly staff and big portions. The buttermilk chicken is to die for. Parking: Located in a plaza with many parking spots. Food : 5/5 |

Best food in town for sure.

Food was incredible and plates were full atmosphere was perfect and very clean Parking: Lots of spaces Kid-friendliness: Just the friendliest place Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for wheelchairs

Fantastic food!, staff so friendly, if your craving of Asian cuisine..highly recommended this JJ restaurant

The food and service is absolutely amazing. I wholeheartedly believe that Trang has the best Chinese place in Thunder, Bay. Maybe even Ontario.

I ve been going to Jjs since I was a teenager. Service is impeccable and the food is always soooo delicious! I absolutely love everything on the menu.

Jjs has always been my go to restaurant I have been going here since I was a child!! Staff is always great and attentive, the atmosphere is beautiful & the food is top tier! If you haven t tried jjs you definitely need too!!

While with COVID my go to was JJ soup. One serving lasted 4 days. Love the portions. Special soup

Poutine and wontons were awesome and the service.

The wontons are really good

Very generous portions! Great quality! Amazing taste! Fantastic price!

Ive always had good food here with very good service. The atmosphere is ok, but the interior is a little dated and dark. The bathrooms are sketchy.

I absolutely love Trang and her team. I walk into JJ s after a long work day and they are always there smiling, friendly and ready to serve in any way. The food is awesome and the portions are so generous! I can t begin to say how much I love this place. It feels like home. Thank you Trang and the gang!

Great food, with amazing portions! Trang and her staff are amazing!

Amazing noodle bowl! My new go to meal when there ..although it s truly hard to decide as everything is delicious!

Perhaps one of the best restaurants in Thunder Bay, they offer a versatile menu, for tastes of all kinds. Whether it be specialty like their WonTon Soup(seriously THE best) to Canadian dishes. Ive been going here for 40+ years. The food is fantastic and the service is stellar!

The food is amazing, everything has flavor! The portions are bigger than you expect. Wontons (my favorite) are always crispy, homemade Sweet & Sour sauce as well. The soups are very favorable, the Special Wonton soup is very filling (takes me 2 meals to eat it all). Bon bons are mouth watering. All the greens are always crisp. Never a long wait when getting take out. Plenty of seats for sitting down to eat but there have been times where they were all occupied. Always my go to. Dietary restrictions: All you have to do is let them know about any restriction you may have and they will do their best to accommodate. Parking: Lots of places to park. Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome and portions for them are perfect. They always display the drawings of children on the wall. The staff are amazing whether you are a child or adult, they always make you feel welcomed, full of smiles and good sense of humor as well.

The noodle bowl is HUGE& delicious One of my favorite places to eat and sich great service !!!

The service is some of the best we have here in Thunder Bay. The food is always delicious and they are known for potions sizes being enough to fill you tummy and more. Id 100% recommend for anybody.

great wontons, great people

Best Chinese restaurant in town! Nothing even comes close. Ive been eating here for over a decade. The portions are huge, reasonably priced, and taste amazing. The staff are accommodating and friendly. Kid-friendliness: The staff and owners love children. They pin their drawings on the walls.

Best noodle bowl in town!!! Biggest portions, tasty food, and excellent service. JJ s will always be my go to!

Love JJ s and now she has Noodle Bowls! The beef noodle bowl was excellent. Huge portions and great food.

Great food, huge portions and the staff is always great!

Always delicious, portions are so big there is always left overs.

Special Wonton Soup was always my favorite. But now Im torn between that and the new Beef Noodle Bowl. So good and sooo fresh!! Best in town

Unfortunately due to covid JJs got hit pretty hard and now they have a limited menu, But that doesnt make the food/service/ or pricing bad. The service is always great, their new chicken fingers are amazing and alot better the popeyes. (Make sure to try the honey dill sauce ) Poutines great, really nothing bad to say besides its unfortunate the menus so small, but the food and service makes up for that. 10/10 recommended JJs.

The first time I went to jjs I got the beef and shrimp noodle bowl that came with a spring roll. I live in Toronto where they have the best foreign food and this dish at jjs made me dream of there food, it was so good

Amazing people working, nice service, really good food for a lower price then most places

Unbelievable noodle bowl, best in town!

Amazing service amazing food! Always great with kids and this time they brought us a free plate of thier new chicken fingers with honey dill sauce... Phenomenal! its a shame I can only give 5 stars

Love ALL the food from here best gravy every The Canadian and the Chinese !! Had a noodle bowl today there and it was the best thing I ve ever eaten !! So good and HUGE portions Can t forget the friendly service always !!

Glad this place survived the Coivd shutdowns but they need to bring back thier entire menu. Or atleast offer a burger of some sorts, only Canadian food is a poutine which is to die for and chicken finger (which needs seasoning in the breading).

This has now become our new go to resto for Chinese/Vietnamese in Thunder Bay. Scrumptious, well-prepared and presented food, ample servings, excellent service and reasonable prices and an engaging owner. What is not to like? Superb experience all around!

The food is always fresh, always awesome and always enough leftover for lunch next day! Prices are too low (but Trang *owner* won t hear of it). We are treated like family from the time we walk in until we leave! Same servers for years says a lot about the management!! Consistent awesomeness keeps us coming back! Parking: Parking is free and close to the door. Accessible spaces as well. Kid-friendliness: The servers love the littles Wheelchair accessibility: From car to seat! Washroom is kind of small for wheelchair though manageable

Best Chinese and Canadian food all around. Just love the special wonton soup as its my go too and their beef noodle bowl is amazing. Even their chicken strips with honey dill dip is a must. Staff is always a pleasure to deal with! :)

One of, if not the most underrated place to grab a bite at in Thunder Bay. Their food is amazing and the staff is super friendly. Don t sleep on their Canadian dishes either, their poutine is one of a kind.

Very good place to eat and dine-in for dinner, very minimal wait times for food, amazing quality Canadian dishes, especially their poutine! Best poutine I have ever tried :) Definitely recommend to visit if you like good quality Canadian dishes!! Had no problems there at all whenever I ate there! Would eat there again :)

Always great service and huge portions! Ive been going since I was a kid and still my favorite place!

Went for dinner tonight with the family! We ordered Chinese plate H and for my daughter the chicken fingers and poutine. The food was delicious, portions were big! BUT THE HOMEMADE BUTTERMILK CHICKEN FINGERS WITH HONEY DILL IS A MUST TRY THEY ARE DELICIOUS!! Amazing service! Will come back again!

Always the best!!! Huge portions and delicious

Best special wonton soup in the city,also best portion sizes with extremly Friendly staff .

This is truly the best hidden gem in Thunder Bay! Their noodle bowl is to die for. I had it with breaded chicken and with their honey dill dip on the side and coming from a non dill lover this was the best dip I have ever tasted. Friendly, quick service and even better food!

Great food and hands down (and I do not make the claim lightly) the beat service you can find!

Just moved back to TBay and love to try out local restaurants. Went to JJs for lunch today and could not have been more pleased. Great service and the food is amazing. You have to try the Buttermilk Chicken with the dill sauce...to die for!!! The owner is super nice as well. I would highly recommend!

Amazing food as always from jjs!! By far best chinese in town!! So much food for an amazing price this meal fed 7 please with tons of left overs!!

Been enjoying the wonton soup for years still the best in town and now the new buttermilk chicken with the honey dill sauce OMG yum-yum

JJs noodle bowl was so delicious! The staff was super ! Due to high costs the menu has changed but the food is affordable and plentiful!! Highly recommend this place !!! Kid-friendliness: Kids love it!

Had the homemade buttermilk chicken strips with homemade honey dill sauce. Amazing!! And the best poutine ever!! This has been our favourite place to go for over 20 years. And the staff is wonderful!

Wonderful staff great food gotta come here and have a bite to eat bring your appetite cause the serving is large

The absolute best noodle bowls in the city! Amazing taste & big portions, even have enough for supper!

Great food! The whole family enjoyed their meals. The chicken fried rice, bonbons and wontons were the best. You must try them!

Best food!!.. greatest people!!!.. Wonton Soup!!!!!! Both the regular and especially the Special are the most delicious in the city. The Vietnamese Spring Rolls are a little bit of heaven.. Cheers to Trang and and the incredible team at JJs.. Thanks for making us feel like family..ALWAYS!!

The BEST Special Wonton Soup anywhere! Trang and her staff are always happy and provide excellent customer service. Hands down, my favourite restaurant in Thunder Bay. I d love to review other food at JJ s but other than the Thanksgiving poutine I always order my wonton soup

Have been coming here for many years. Special wonton soup is the best in town. Always my choice. So happy they are open again!! Highly recommend a visit

great meal , had the buttermilk chicken strip sooo yummy , with deep fried shrimp and fried rice good value for the money , and yes of coarse friendly hard working staff

This place never misses. The food is always fresh, always delicious and always makes you feel good. And their Special Wonton Soup is HUGE! Highly recommended! Five stars plus!

Love the Chinese and my new fav is the homemade chicken fingers with the honey dill sauce. Friendly and prompt service too!

Consistently the best restaurant in terms of portion size and quality. I ve come many times over the years as it was my grandmothers favourite and it s alway impressed.

Very good Chinese food. My favorite is the Wonton Soup.

It s been a while since I ve got to eat here. The food is great along with the service plus you get a good amount of delicious food. I will be back soon.

The service was quick and professional (and super friendly!) Food was delicious (got special wonton soup, spring rolls, and was recommended to try deep friend wontons with the soup as well - try it, it s awesome)

The BEST of the BEST Asian food in town, beef noodle bowl and the soup. Amazing food. So delicious. Tried their noodle bowl before, it was great too. Recommended dishes

Everything is always great!! The chicken fingers are AMAZING!!

Tasty food huge portions. Great staff Parking: Available Kid-friendliness: High chairs Wheelchair accessibility: Available

The chicken fried rice I got was the best I have eaten in a long time. The manager is so nice and friendly. The environment will want you to eat there every day.

Great food and service

Best Wonto soup with BBQ Pork....in all of Ontario. Throw in an order of Spring rolls, Heaven! Awesome staff. Awesome onwner! Been coming here since I was a young teen, twenty six years ago.

Good food, good service, fair prices and great specials. Try the buttermilk chicken !!

I have to say I havent eaten that well in a long time. We were all excited. The prices are perfectly fair and the portions were huge. Everyone is so super friendly and always had a smile. Even my 5 year old was thrilled, he was allowed to paint a picture and then hang it on the wall as a reminder. if i could give 100 stars i would. We will come back in any case. Thanks to all.

The honey garlic ribs were delightful and the workers were very, not to mention the atmosphere in the building was very positive there was no negativity there fore my experience at your restaurant was excellent I would 100% come here again and would recommend it to anyone else

This is by far the best Vietnamese restaurants in Tbay. I will recommend to anyone who craves for the dishes. Great potion, very generous with sauces, and friendly staffs. This is a must visit if you like Vietnamese dishes.

Food and service are fantastic. Always friendly and welcoming.

Biggest, best poutine in town! Staff and service top notch!

Best poutine and chicken balls in town, great service, big portions!!! Highly recommended, my go to always!!!!!!!

Favourite place! Go in there a stranger and leave as family!!! Amazing buttermilk chicken and the sauce that comes with it amazzzzzinnng.

This place and the food is totally amazing. I tried the food for the first time and loved it, now I can t get over it.

Amazing place to dine in. Super friendly workers and the meal is great as well. Highly recommended

Super great food and staff team! Always a delight dining in.

This is the restaurant with the best service attitude I have seen in Canada. After eating a meal of 20 dollars, I received a box of food, including beef noodles and wontons. Especially the beef noodles delivered taste really good. Although there is no Chinese staff and no Chinese customers, it is really a great Chinese restaurant.

I recommend friends who pass by Thunder Bay to try this restaurant. The food is foreigner-style Chinese food, so-so, but the most important thing is the service. I would like to call it the most enthusiastic and happy dining experience. We ordered After the meal, the boss learned that it was our first time here, so he gave us a piece of Vietnamese noodles directly. When we left, he was afraid that we would not have anything to eat on the way, so he also gave us a piece of Chaos. I thought it was a bowl of Chaos soup, but I didn t expect it to be a bowl of Chaos soup. I was given a large carton of food , which surprised me. In short, as the name suggests, this store treats every diner as a Fmaily, and friends passing by during the trip can come and support them. Fantastic service ever, owner treats us like a family, free Vietnamese noodles for us as they know we are first here, and gifts us Wontons Soup for everyone since we are traveling from Toronto to Winnipeg in order to we could have hot food during the long distance road trip. I am not going to evaluate the food taste, cuz this is just Canadians Chinese food, but with this valued price and service, what could you expect more when you are tired and hungry after long way drive? All 5 starts for sure.

Best poutine in Thunder Bay! Everything is good here but if you re craving poutine, this is it. Love coming here and I recommend to everyone!!!

Okay this is hands down the best food and service I have had in town! Ordered take out then my son decided to grab a seat at the booth ended up staying and was the best decision! Service is 10 star food is off the charts! Highly recommend if you haven t been it s a must! We had the noodle bowl and we will be back asap! They also gave my son a little loot bag on our way out! If you have kids great place !

Love JJ s such great chinese food and the staff are the most amazing group of ladies!

Everyone was so friendly, and the good was excellent.

Food is delicious, portions are large. I would highly recommend.

Best lunch spot in town, $13 dollar poutine enough to feed 2-3 insane portions great price love JJs been coming here since I was a child

Great food and service as usual ! Trang and the staff are awesome :) I got take out ! Soo much food !

The lady that runs the place and her crew provides the best service in town. I would recommend everyone and their mother come to this Family restaurant.

We had the sweetest waitress. She was all smiles and great customer service. I had the buttermilk chicken rice bowl. 3meals out of it! My mother had combo 1. Was good and huge portion. The 4* for atmosphere is only because decor is dated but the vibe was great. Parking: Huge parking lot for strip mall

The location is at the end of Victoria Ave. East in the city center. I arrived at the store at 11:30 noon on a Tuesday. The environment is clean and comfortable, with a sense of the times. Customers came in one after another after 12 oclock, and it was very lively. I ordered beef rice noodles and wonton noodle soup, and the store gave me a plate of fried wontons. The portion was so big that I almost couldnt finish it at 20 per person. The food tastes good, is clean and hygienic, and features typical North American Chinese and Vietnamese fusion dishes. The stores service attitude is very good, friendly and enthusiastic. The customers who come are basically local residents and regular customers. It is open from 11:30 to 6:30 and is closed on Sundays and Mondays. You can take your kids there and try again next time.

Great food and amazing portion sizes. Very friendly service and very welcoming.

Best Chinese food in the town so far, great taste and fast service, the works are very friendly and helpful; foods are cheap and delicious compare to the quantity they provided. Most recommended places for eat Chinese food.

Great food. Best Chinese food in town, by a long shot. Staff is super friendly and food comes quickly. Prices are low as well. If you live in Thunder Bay, JJ s is a must-try restaurant

As always the service and food was amazing...JJs is my go to place for the best Chinese food in town.

Loooove the noodle bowl

Excellent food, with stunning service. Parking: There is considerable free parking, and I have parked within ten feet the last two times. Food : 5/5 |

Visited here from out of town with my family, service and prices were great!

Staff were incredibly friendly, and the food was some of the best Chinese food that I ve ever had. Chicken balls were mostly meat with very little batter, and the chicken fried rice had more chicken and egg in it than I m used to seeing in rice that I ve had from other restaurants. The rice was also perfectly seasoned. Food was a bit on the pricey side, but the huge portion sizes definitely justified it. Unless you re a big eater, you re almost guaranteed to be bringing leftovers home with you in a box. Only real complaint would be the cramped atmosphere, and not a lot of privacy between you and other guests at the restaurant. Would definitely eat here again in any case. Kid-friendliness: Incredibly kid friendly. Offered crayons and paper to draw on.

Amazing noodle bowl.

The Butter Chicken Noodle Bowl is delicious. I love the food here, its an amazing place. They have very many different food options and they are all worth a try. I always enjoy eating here and highly recommend it. This is the BEST Chinese Restaurant in Thunder Bay!!! A MUST TRY FOR EVERYONE!!!

Prices need to be updated...combination dinners are 19.99... Fried rice very dry..bon bon spareribs hardly no meat... Food

Special wonton soup is amazing. Best in town

Noodle bowls and spring rolls are delicious. Great price and very generous portions.

So, today was my first time trying this restaurant and I have to say it was one of the best experiences Ive ever had, if not the best. The staff was absolutely amazing and super friendly and the food is super fantastic! Cant recommend this place enough!

had the beef noodle bowl and it was great! vermicelli is one of my favourite dishes, and JJS has the best ive tried. thanks trang and team for having the best restaurant in the city!

Absolutely love this restaurant, been coming here for over 20years. My grandfather brought me here as a kid and now I bring my kids here. Great food, get lots for your money and it s delicious. Service is amazing, always feel very welcoming. My family favourites are the poutine and chicken fried rice. Highly recommend. Promise you won t regret filling your belly here.

The noodle bowl absolutely slapped and the service was fantastic. The woman who cooked my noodle bowl spoke with me about it and asked me for my thoughts on it. She also gave our tables small tasters of another dish for free. I will definitely be returning to try the Wonton special soup.

Still a certified thunder bay must. Chicken Fried Rice slaps everytime.

I went in with 2 of my friends and we got so much food we had leftovers. Chicken fried rice was awesome, deep fried wontons was the best I ever had and I can eat that ribs all day every day. We had the best service in Thunder Bay . We recommend JJ s, you will be very happy you went.

Amazing food and staff was probably the best meal I had in a long time I recommend this place for any family outing Vegetarian options: Will make you different options if you ask vary Friendly and kind. Kid-friendliness: Kids will love coming here on any family outing I highly recommend.

Love the beef noodle bowl and the fried wonton!!! The food is delicious and the service is great.

JJ s family restaurant offers an eclectic mix of Canadian and Chinese cuisine,. We tried the Chinese offerings of sweet-and-sour shrimp and Thai beef and noodles. Both dishes were delicious. I am a confessed Chinese food snob, and I was pleasantly surprised away by this food. Note that it was not what I would consider a full Chinese food menu. There are really just a few items in different mix-and-match compilations. The service was an absolute delight. The dining area is simple and comfortable. But it is not fancy. Again, we were very happy with our meal at JJ s family restaurant. it is truly a family feeling operation and the staff seem to know many of the guests. We would return without hesitation. Noting other reviews I agree that the decor is totally dated and the portions are generous.

Good food awesome staff

I love JJs This small Ma & Pa diner boasts delicious Chinese cuisine, coupled with traditional Canadian fare like their super cheesy Poutine! The service is always fantastic, and you definitely receive a good bang for your buck, as you will almost always leave with a take home container!

Service and staff are amazing. Very friendly and always goes above and beyond for their customers. We love ordering the chicken finger platter with poutine and sometimes mix it up with their combination dinner section. Tasty food at a great place!

Love the Chinese food, makes me a special wonton burger. Portions are huge, so much food, I would suggest wearing comfy clothes after eating all that goodness. Overall great friendly place.

Everyone was so lovely the food is amazing and the chicken balls are to die for the owner is the most lovely and kind woman in the world

My go-to for Wonton Soup ! Place has been amazing since I can remember.

Great food and awesome staff. Kid-friendliness: Theyve got crayons and paper to keep kids occupied. A special treat after their meal. Food : 5/5 |

Visiting from Texas and needed a place to eat dinner after hiking trails for most the day. Saw the remarkable online reviews for JJ s and had to stop in. Needless to say, our visit exceeded all expectations. The culinary delights at JJs were not only delicious but also incredibly generous; they fill your plate to the brim! The waitstaff added to the experience with their warm and efficient service. To our amazement, we only ordered two plates, yet we walked out with three to-go boxes filled with leftovers! Whether youre a local looking for a new favorite spot or a visitor exploring the Thunder Bay area, we wholeheartedly recommend stopping by JJs. Its a culinary gem that promises a delightful experience for all.

I have been coming here for the last 5 years and the food is simply amazing. I usually go for the chicken fried rice and the fried wontons. The portion size is huge. I would have been nice if they were able to close late

Has Thunder Bays best Chinese food. We never miss it when we come home. And the ladies are amazing and love to take care of you. Been coming for over 25 years wont stop. You have to come in!!!!

One of the best places in town, definitely recommend

I ve been coming here since I was a kid and it s still my favorite place in town!

Absolutely amazing food, with excellent service. Found out my friend and I were students and gave us some extra fried wontons, so sweet and lovely.

Love the poutine!! So much cheese and the best gravy ever.

The food is amazing

I ve been going to JJs for years. The portions are huge, and pricing is extremely reasonable. Tonight, when I ordered my usual (chicken fried rice, wontons and chicken balls) the wontons were missing. Without hesitation they fixed my order and now I have wontons to snack on for lunch tomorrow too! Service is amazing and the ladies are always so friendly. Highly recommend!

The sides are too big

Very friendly . Excellent food. I would highly recommend. Food

Food was bland... but huge portions...

Amazing food, great and generous owners. Go back all the time

Went in for brunch last week. Ended up waiting for my party to show longer than expected. Ordered an egg roll while I waited. Ended up with plate of won tons, in top of our 2 orders.. always fast, friendly efficient service. Staff is awesome & attentive with recommendations & daily specials. Ill be back when I finally finish my leftovers.

The best family restaurant. We ve been coming here for 20 years and it feels like coming home every time we re here

The staff, the food and the atmosphere is top notch everytime were here. If you havent been yet youre missing out on a Thunder Bay gem.

Best Chinese Food in the North of Ontario! Amazing prices! Wheelchair accessibility: We use a walker and had no problems getting it in and out its the same width as an average wheel chair. Food : 5/5 |
