J2C Asian Bistro certainly exceeded my expectations. As an American born Chinese, I wasn't expecting much but still decided to order take out from their lunch menu. To my surprise, the food was high quality with portion sizes that were more than satisfying.My order included the beef Kung Pao, which was a delightful experience. The meat was cooked perfectly and combined well with the sauce, making it a dish I would highly recommend. In addition to this, the egg drop soup was full of flavor. Each spoonful was rich and fulfilling, making it another standout item on their menu.It's worth mentioning that at the time of my visit they only offered curbside pick-up which took a little longer than expected as they were pretty busy.Another note, if you're dining with people with allergies this may not be the place for you. Sadly, they aren't able to accommodate people with gluten allergies. I was surprised to learn their pad thai was not gluten free, and unfortunately they don't invest in gluten free soy sauce or oyster sauce. Creating allergen friendly items would be my one suggestion to the owners. Regardless, their food as it comes is delicious so this doesn't count against them.I am definitely looking forward to trying more dishes from J2C Asian Bistro and would recommend it to anyone seeking authentic Asian cuisine in a convenient manner.

I love the food here but hate that it is take out only. I don't live in Lexington so it is very inconvenient to try to eat my food in the car . Come on guys, open back up for in person dining, please !

My buddy has raved about this place for quite some time. He has asked me to eat here on several occasions and I never gave it the opportunity. Turns out, that mistake was on me. I ate here for the first time today, and it was amazing. I ordered Crab Rangoon, Chicken Lo Mein, Steamed Dumplins and General Tsos Chicken. Everyone of these items was the best version of itself that I have ever had. This restaurant is taking the place of my normal Asian Cuisine.

I ordered moo goo gai pan and loved it! I have found my absolute favorite Chinese restaurant in lexington. It was so full of flavor and the chicken wasn't rubbery like I've had from some places. They were so nice and quick plus my meal came in a container with a lid because no one eats all they're Chinese food at once. Gotta save the rest for later and the container is perfect for that reason. I will be ordering from here again.Parking: They are working and it's roped off right now So there's usually more spaces to park but not right now

Best egg roll in town. Honestly the best Chinese I've had in lexington so far. But, a little pricey.

I order lunch from here frequently and I can say I have never had one thing to complain about. The food is fresh, well prepared and everything I have had is amazingly good. Kung Pao chicken or shrimp is my favorites and the prices really aren't bad at all if you compare it to the $9 fast food menus around town...this is way way better for the prices.
Being from Boston where they have a chinatown, this place is comparable to any place back home. This is cantonese style Chinese food. All our food was great. It is takeout only with curbside service. I am so glad i took a chance on getting food her.

Take out only, curbside service. The food was great, comparable to the food back home in greater Boston. If you are looking for cantonese style, then this is the place. I cannot compare to any other Chinese in Lexington, but I doubt this can be topped.

Wow. I have had General Tsao's from a ton of different places but this one tops them all. I think they make it like it was actually meant to be made. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, nice big juicy chunks, and just the right blend of spices and sugars in the sauce. The rest of the menu is good too, but dang that chicken is something to be had. Kudos.

We placed a to go order. Food was good but expensive for what we received especially the appetizers.

This place is running takeout only, and their website notes that as of this writing there are no plans to reopen for in-person dining. As a takeout place, they offer a suitably generous lunch special which includes a good sized takeout container plus a spring roll (or alternative). They have a small veggie selection and only one of those makes it into the lunch specials, which I tried. The garlic sauce tofu was a bit sweet for my taste, even with the "extra spicy" box checked. I also would have chosen some different vegetables given the choice. The spring roll was mostly cabbage and black pepper; the fiber is always welcome. It was fine, but not as good as I might have hoped. There are one or two dinner options I thought worth trying, but I'd like them more if they expanded their menu.
