| - 3.5 stars. I will round up since there aren't a ton of places offering Sichuan food in Vegas.
J&J Szechuan Cuisine is not a very big restaurant, but service was attentive and friendly, and I had my water refilled multiple times. It probably also helped that I could speak Mandarin.
The interior is simple, but clean. The menu is of a decent size, though smaller than some places.
Portions are decent for the price, and the appetizer 3-item combo for $5.50 in particular is a steal! The cold side dishes in the glass tray were all tasty, though I've seen slightly fresher preparations in California.
As for my food, I ordered a plate of three cold side dishes, a fish and tofu dish, and fried intestines. I love intestines, and the texture of the dish here was nice and crunchy, but the intestines were a bit fishy overall (not sure if that's quite the right term for the adjective I am thinking of in Chinese, i.e. ?). The fish and tofu dish, while light, was a little too bland. It had flavor, but was a bit watered down.
Overall, I was still satisfied with my meal and had lots of leftovers. I've had much better Sichuan food elsewhere, but this place is not bad by any means.
P.S. The rice came in a very unusual and not-characteristically Chinese container, which I found somewhat amusing. There is a $1 charge for rice, but you get a decent amount of rice per serving.
P.P.S. $25 minimum for credit card.
