The best Chinese restaurant I know of in East Mesa. J&M II is an NYC style Chinese restaurant. The family that owns it and prepares the food is from NYC. If you have ever been to Wo Hop in NYC it is that style of food at J&M II.
We always order take out or delivery but the restaurant itself looks like a nice place to eat at. It is small but clean and the decor is nice.
However the food is what makes J&M II so good. Unlike other Chinese restaurants in the area that are bland and boring (like Yen Ching on Power Rd), J&M II puts spice and flavor into their food. You taste garlic and ginger and bold flavor in the food, especially when you order the dishes "Extra Spicy". Any of the traditional NYC Chinese classics like fried rice or spare ribs or General Tao's chicken or lo mein are good, etc. However my favorite dish is the Beef Chow Fun ordered Extra Spicy. It is so good!
You get more food for your money at a buffet like the one down on SIgnal Butte and the 60. But the quality and flavor of the food is so much better at J&M II. The food is good quality. The flavors are bold and delicious. J&M II is a great Chinese restaurant to try in East Mesa.
