Jenna Collins: My husband and I have been going here for the last 12 years (my husband being a South Bend native has been going here longer). It used to be affordable and good, but ever since Covid, like so many restaurants, the quality has gone down while prices skyrocketed. We ordered the sweet and sour chicken which had several chicken pieces that were inedible and looked like they were fried many times. Our general tso's was nothing but fried breading, no chicken to be found. It wasn't worth the $20 per person. We ended up having to cook a frozen pizza later because we were still hungry. I hope they go back to their original quality. For now, we won't be back anytime soon.

Larry Potterbaum: Wonderful food. Servings were huge. Food was served hot and fresh in short order. However my husband ordered shrimp but the waitress insisted he ordered chicken. He really liked it though. My sweet and sour chicken was delicious but there were only 2-3 pieces of green pepper and pineapple. I couldn't find any tomatoes. I was also concerned about cleanliness. Both the outside and bathroom doors were dirty and the fish tank was cloudy with algae growth. All in all if they cleaned better I would come back.Vegetarian options: Plenty of items to choose fromKid-friendliness: Family style diningParking: On site

Luke Atkinson: First time getting food here. Ordered chicken fried rice for takeout. Got shrimp, beef and chicken in it. Which sucked as I don’t like shrimp and that’s all I could taste in the meal. Didn’t know it was the wrong order until I got home.

Lenise Winston: Had to send my shrimp fried rice back to the kitchen because it was cold .was told that card machine wasn't working after we had eaten the food, thankfully I had some cash on me ,was a little upset could have said something earlier before ordering 50.00 worth of food. Overall I think I will end it here.

Mr. Spo: Sweet and sour chicken was overcooked. Very sparse with the vegetables and fruit that normally accompany this dish. Can get fried rice at no extra charge when lunchtime but not dinner. Egg drop soup was to salty. Have eaten there often. This time was very disappointing. Also had a language barrier challenge when ordering this time.

Sky Gredy: It had been a few years since we had Mandarin House, but the Chicken & Shrimp delight was not how I remember. While the pork fried rice & eggroll were decent. The meat in the chicken & shrimp delight had a cheaper, fattier, mushy texture. Service was fast and courteous. This is a restaurant I've loved for decades, hope they change their meat vendor!

Laura Puscas: Coming back to town after not eating here for years, we were really nervous after reading the recent reviews. We are so happy to report that the food is as delicious as always. The honey chicken and crispy beef are the highlights.J.W. Chen's has been a long time favorite, especially with how amazing Jean made the experience. The atmosphere was essentially unchanged. We did miss her recommendations, but we had good & friendly service. They said Jean comes in still and was there today around 2.I wonder if something was going on during all the bad reviews, but whatever it was seems to be resolved. I encourage you to give it another chance. It met all of our very high expectations and memories of the deliciousness.

Tim Brooks: Disappointed in the food. Not nearly as good as other places. We'll never go back.Food: 2/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 3/5 …More

Shannon Kryski: It's always nice to stop by a city staple and visit Danny at JW Chen's. It is unfortunate to see that it was empty when we arrived and hear that ND has drawn most of their business away by building their mini city and discouraging students from patronizing local businesses. I hope that JW can survive, but given the current situation, I am afraid it can't hold out much longer. However, food was amazing as always and we hope to visit next time we are in town!

Heather G.: Went for lunch today and the place is definitely way less busy then older days. My food was the same as when Jean was owner the crispy chicken was still delicious. Rice was not very warm so they replaced it no problems. The place could use a face-lift and definitely a good scrubbing, especially the bathroom. But our experience was not nearly as terrible as some of the reviews on here.

Luis Tejada: They had amazing food and the best service I've ever had when we dined in, would recommend and will return soon

Emmerson Denney: Very very good American Chinese food, and a decent amount for the $11.50 price for a dish. The staff was wonderful. I have traveled extensively all over China, and I would say that the sauces were as authentic as possible given what is available locally. Not a lot of Chinese vegetables of course, for the same reason.Yes, the plates were real plates. I’m not sure if anyone bothered to ask if their dishwasher was broken or something, before leaving all the nasty reviews here. Everyone is a critic these days, of course!

David Bao: The most restraunt ever

awooga baoer: The food is great, but the waitress is better! She's cute but she wouldn't give me her number, hence the 4 stars.

Jeffery Bao: Great place! The price was very good and the food was both good and came fast. Good place to come with friends, and the take out is very easy.

Victoria Deter: Amazing service and amazing food!!

B N: New owners, so we wanted to try it out as we used to be regulars. Horrible. Im sure Jean would be very upset. We ordered online and picked our food up to eat at home. Small portions, the sauces were horrible, the Imperial dinner had 1 crab Rangoon and one spring roll, and never allowed me to choose which soup I wanted. Only $4.5 but still a waste. Even the fortune cookies felt cheaper and not as good!! Very, very disappointing. Save your money and go elsewhere!!!

Martin P: Old owners were really nice and sat down with us every time with Chinese language menu. Not sure about the new owner

John Riordan: By far the best Asian food in south bend, always enormous portions too. Just wish they would reduce their waste and stop using disposable plates and silverware for everyone, even eating in.

Mark Ursa: While the food was acceptably palatable and the service friendly, I will never eat here again. I have never dined in a sit down restaurant that served its food in to-go containers. Everything was served in either plastic or a styrofoam container. Even the utensils were plastic, and the water was bottled instead of being in a glass with ice. I think that's incredibly tacky!

Kevin Black: It's clean nice staff but they put lots of sugar in 95% of their food and its not good especially when you try eating the cabbage or green beans and it's super sweet. Hibachi is far superior I'll happily go to the other side of town and know my foods not got a ton of sugar in it.

Heather Helms: Buffets are a dying breed post Covid. We were passing through town on a road trip and happened to find this place on yelp. Great value Chinese food!! The flounder was really good! I was excited to see gizzards on the buffet as well. If you’re more into traditional Asian cuisine there’s plenty of options. I’m not expecting the world from a buffet that costs less than $10 including drink. This place really hit the spot though. Would def eat here again!!

Jeffery Merrill: This will always rate near the top of my favorite Chinese buffets. Good fresh food, great ingredients, even if they do cater to the American preference for sweetness. Staff is friendly and quick, attentive to needs. Even better, drinks are included in the buffet price!!!! What they call pot stickers are actually steamed dumplings that use the same kind of filling as pot stickers. I only have a couple of issues with New China, and pretty much every Chinese buffet. The Hot and Sour soup, while good, has some of the sourness but none of the spice needed in a proper Hot and Sour. They use a standardized soup mix that I consider far below par. Also, very few dishes that claim to be spicy actually have any heat whatsoever to them. I like spice so when I eat Schezuan Chicken I want it to kick me a bit. American palates are weak and pathetic to the point I just don't condone how Chinese cooking has been so severely sweetened to appeal to the American appetite. When I prefer to diine at a Chinese restaurant, whether it is a sit and order or a buffet, I want authentic Chinese food. New China gets as close as it can for a buffet.

Sharelle Ghouri: Check how much actual meat there is in your order I ordered tonight and literally had an entire option in soy sauce with a FULL HUGE SLICE ONION. 3 MED TO SMALL SIZES OF BEEF. SO INSTEAD OG MONGOLIAN BEEF ITS MONGOLIAN CARMELIZED/BURNTONIONS WITH HINTS OF MEAT. AND THE CHICKEN FRIED RICE WAS RICE WITH A FOOD COLORING. MAYBE A HALF HANDFUL OF PEAS. CALLED AND WAS TOLD HE WOULD DBL THE MEAT ON MY NEXT ORDER. AO I HAVE TO SPEND MONEY TO GET MY MO EYS WORTH THE SECOND TIME. WHEN DID THE CHINESE RESTAURANT START APPLYING HOOD RULES TO PUBLIC BUSINESSES. I ONLY TAKE A BURN FROM ANYONE ONCE. NO WAY WILL I GO BACK FOR MORE OF WHAT I CAN DO ON MY OWN ALOT CHEAPER.

Carolyn Rozmarynowski: We order from here about once a month, and it's always very good! I'm a horribly picky vegetarian, and I love their food. I get Bean Curd Homestyle, my husband gets either Sweet and Sour Chicken, Black Peppered Chicken or General Tsao's. He's also had their Egg Drop Soup (which he says is amazing!), pot stickers and chicken egg rolls. Their sweet fried dough is very yummy!The staff is great and the dining area is clean. They're friendly, the food gets done quickly and our orders are always correct.

Owen Packer: First time going here, a little bit out of way for us, but did not disappoint.

Jeff Price: Great food and customer service is great.

Daniel Hall: Very good food both times I went there. Shrimp with lobster sauce then had roasted pork fried rice. Very good service and food very good. Egg rolls need to cool before you eat them.

Melanie Darmody: Pricey for average quality. Love the curbside pick up. Not having to go inside was nice.

Shar Smith: When we are in the area we will order from Oriental. Last night we ordered and I got to the car and noticed 2 of my containers for the gravy for my egg foo young were open and the lids were busted. I went back to the door and they saw me so he asked me what was wrong. I showed him and he replaced both of the gravies without any question and I was on my way. They are amazing and will continue to go to their restaurant

Vickie Elaine Harris: I’m very disappointed today 4-10-2021 time 3:30pm I have my nurse bring me here I live near Norte Dame area I use to come when I can drive sometimes but I always love their Shrimp Egg fo young but today I was disappointed I ordered Shrimp Egg Fo Young plus I requested extra Shrimp which I was charged for it as well when I got home I couldn’t wait to dig the Shrimp was tough the egg around the edges was tough there wasn’t no extra Shrimp it just wasn’t the same they had cooked the Shrimp to long I always let folks know this a great place to eat today wasn’t a good at all I pray everything will get better THERES other places are around me that sells the Shrimp Egg Fo Young I travel to come here because there’s are better I come here all the time I know the difference I just pray they get better cause I always love this place

Monica Hoban: BUYER BEWARE!!The only reason they get one star is because I can't give them zero which is what they deserve. I considered myself a good customer, not any more.I picked up my carry out order tonight to find that the Triple Delight that we ordered was made X Spicy. The dish is a spicy dish, but this was made so spicy that we could not eat it. It was marked on the container X Spicy. I called and complained as this was not our fault. We did not order it x spicy and we were not able to eat it because it was so spicy. They gave me a hard time but agreed to replace it. Back in the car I go to drive back to the restaurant to get my not so spicy Triple Delight. I showed the girl behind the counter the marking of X Spicy on my container. There was NO APOLOGY for their mistake of making it X Spicy in fact she was very put off by my complaint. I get home to cold rice (the only thing replaced was the Triple Delight) and cold rest of my meal. Triple Delight was once an item we loved. Not any more. They are now using a salad size shrimp and there were 3 very tiny pieces of scallop. Unfortunately this restaurant that usually served an A+ meal has gone way down hill.There are way too many Asian food options in South Bend. I will be taking my business elsewhere.
