JJ's Bistro

"Cool little place with very good food but the guy who works the counter and is an owner I believe...is a gastopo. Seems to hate you for coming in.Almost have to sign an agreement when eating there, alot of rules and regulations. Some understandable....most are ridiculous. He ll bankrupt them...too bad,good grub."

"Not food related, never had an opportunity to sit. First time to this building and early for a doctor's appointment so we asked about being sat. We thought we'd spend about 20-30 minutes with a drink and a snack (not a meal).The man behind the counter said "are you going to order?" We said yes. He said "you order here." I asked for a menu and he condescendingly pointed to a small table at the entrance and proclaimed "you walked right past it". I turned to get the menu, already annoyed with his attitude and decided not to order and that we would just purchase a drink at the counter and go. He assumed we meant sit with a drink (which wasn't the case, we wanted to buy a drink and leave). He then points to a $10 minimum sign and says "we get very busy here and require $10." At that point his demeanor had me upset so we refused to buy anything and left. Customer service goes a long way with me. I didn't mind not being sat (I understand the reasons), I do mind being spoken to like I'm ignorant or a bother. Do better JJ's."

"Stopped in after getting blood work done, ordered the #2 Special... it was very tasty! Had the banana dessert(but it's not banana? )... I've been trying to eat there for some time. Glad I was able to stop in this time!"

"If you’re looking for authentic Filipino food, look no further! This family owned quaint restaurant is everything that my family and I have been looking for. To start, the service is unmatched. You feel like you’re right at home! The owners are welcoming and interactive with their patrons. Next, Judy’s cooking is out of this world. From the crunchy and flavorful lumpia, to the delicious Pancit and juicy adobo, the flavors are to die for. We had been looking to taste authentic “kare-kare” that’s not on the menu. We asked Judy if she could make some for us and in two weeks, she did! The oxtail in peanut butter sauce was exactly what our palate wanted. The fact that she went way out of her way to make this for us was very special. They truly care about their customer satisfaction! We’ve also tried their halo-halo and that is equally exquisite. Come by and try the best homemade Filipino food you can possibly have in Phoenix!"

"Filipino food, deliciously prepared and served by owners makes for a great change in a chain restaurant world. Add in sparkling cleanliness, some cute country decor, and a pleasant view if you get a window seat, and you're set for a relaxing meal. Everything was tasty in my combination platter #1 of Pansit (stir fried ultra fine cellophane noodles with cabbage, carrots, celery, onions, garlic, chicken, soy sauce); Fried rice (chicken thigh meat sautéed in garlic and onions with eggs, peas, carrots, soy sauce); Lumpia (deep fried spring rolls with pork, carrots, cabbage, onions, garlic, celery). Lost a star due to not accepting credit cards without a surcharge, and for the tiny proportion of the veggies to the carbs. Noodles and rice and dough covered veggies is a just too much starch and not enough veggies and meat, esp. for $11.99-- (rice and noodles are very inexpensive items esp. when bought wholesale) I hope they do well since it's pleasant food, but no way can I be a regular for that price, plus tip, plus losing my credit card's cash back bonus."
