I love this place. The kitchen is clean and that is the biggest plus ever because most oriental restaurants are filthy behind the scenes; this one cares about how they serve the food. The frozen meats are fantastic, other places serve slimy near refrigerator/room temp. meats. All the food is well kept and fresh. It is cooked high temperature and quickly so that it comes out perfect with no wilted vegetables; just fairly crisp and still retains food value.
So what if they do not have chocolate frozen dessert; the vanilla is just fine as a little bonus to the meal. I am from California and you do not get any dessert at the Mongolians there; which usually have B ratings and last time I got sick. Other places do not give you as big a bowl nor a wax paper sheet to help push the food in place in the bowl; I was impressed with this simple courtesy. They also give you a new clean bowl after the food is cooked, no other place does that!
I like how they serve it in a bowl rather than on a plate; it keeps the food warmer for longer. Yum! I saw young guys stacking the precooked food high in the bowl which looked like a work of art. The reason is they were taking it to go and do this frequently. They told me they loved this food and I said tell your friends so we can keep them in business. Again I love this place because after eating a filling healthy meal that does not leave you feeling heavy and sluggish is wonderful.
I have eaten at AJ's four times now and never felt better. I do not give good reviews lightly; I am very hard to please and picky. What a blessing to get good food at a reasonable price. The decor is plain and simple but the floor and tables are clean; believe me that is more important than fancy decor that serves gourmet' garbage.
