My wife and I went here on the recommendation of a previous patron. I've just read several reviews of other Yelpers and I don't get it. This place compares to only one other Asian cuisine restaurant that we've had an extremely bad experience, (Pongs in Big Bear, Ca.). The only item we found paletable was the egg drop soup. The rest of our meal was TERRIBLE. We tried a few bites. My wife had the orange chicken specialty plate and I had the black pepper beef specialty plate. These plates are accompanied by pan fried noodles, rice (plain or fried), and an egg roll. The rice tasted old with very little flavor, the noodles were gluey and foul tasting. My wife's orange chicken was heavily breaded a just average on the flavor profile. My pepper beef lacked one important ingredient PEPPER! The beef tasted old and spoiled, the brown sauce was like no other brown sauce I've ever tasted or want to taste again, Foul as heck! Needless to say we had a lot of food left on our plates, and then the coldest cut of all, we declined take home containers. Who goes to a Chinese restaurant and doesn't come home with take out containers? Answer: Someone who ate at T & J Cuisine .
