Somebody needs to update this. I’m sitting here in front of Chows and no one is here. They’ve closed down. If anyone knows where they went, please advise.

Very friendly and welcoming service. I ordered the chicken Cesar salad with an extra chicken breast. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the salad was elegantly dressed and put together. I really enjoyed eating this meal in the ambiance of the food court and found the price to be AMAZING. If you're on a budget I'd recommend this place. It magically healed my injures from my car accident. This food meets your soul.

I went their to ask for salad and had questions regarding it,because salads mostly have some protein in it and I am vegan.But the person their responded with so much rudeness that I left without ordering anything!

Love J Chows. It’s the healthiest option at the food court. The salads are always fresh with tender chicken. Love supporting a local business.

Excellent food and service. We love the chicken salad. The chicken is so tender and the iceberg lettuce is always fresh and crisp. The healthiest restaurant at the food court for sure. If you're looking to support a local business, J Chow's is the spot!

When you think back in time, there are a few moments when you can confidently say, "I wish I did that sooner."Good news.Here's your golden nugget of the day. There are people who dedicate their life to a craft to the point where it's bigger than them; the likes of Michael Jordan, geniuses such as Bob Ross, and yes, eats you didn't know was possible from a food court, J. Chow's.Their famous California Chicken Salad is nothing like you've had before. You taste the intricate layers of flavor and textures. You may not be ready for something to handle this level of yum, but it's what your tastes buds have been craving.Ask for the "combo" if you want succulent bbq ribs with fork tender chicken. The baked potato is unlawfully good. As good as it gets this side of Idaho.These are two mainstays that will keep you coming back.Pro Tip: Good food does take a bit of time, so be prepared to wait a couple minutes longer than you're used to.Fine dining at food court prices? Yes, please.

I ordered a chocolate cake because I thought why not support an old man and his business, but that cake was so stale and tasted.

There's not many places now-a-days where you can get a baked potato. I mean... Wendys... and a high end steakhouses. To my knowledge, the spud really stops there. J Chows does have baked potatoes though. And my baked potato was pretty solid. Amongst the weird things I've been craving recently, baked potatoes is one of them. You have the option to get it topped with a few things. I can't remember the options, but I just opted for a little butter and sour cream which come on the side. The gentleman at the counter was very nice, and even was kind to the somewhat odd gentleman who came up during our transaction and started asking him questions while i was still ordering. It was a bit odd. I also ordered a side of steamed vegetables which were QUITE good. They were very fresh and steamed perfectly. They're known for their chicken salad, but they are definitely a unique staple for some other things. Ugh, now I'm craving a baked potato again. Fun fact, I made baked potatoes for thanksgiving this year and had a little loaded buffet side station with sour cream, chives, butter, and bacon. Let's bring back baked potatoes. Yes... there's a thousand ways to make potatoes... but arn't the simplest things sometimes the best. My friend asked me while I was eating the baked potato if I ate the potato skin. Uhhh... of course I do... I'm not a lunatic.

I've been a customer of J Chow's for decades. I've been a customer so long that I used to visit them when they were in White Flint Mall. The California Chicken Salad is my go to. It's so tasty, refreshing and healthy. It's also the only reason why I step foot into Montgomery Mall. They're friendly, the service is usually pretty speedy, and the food is simply delicious. Of all things, I never thought I'd choose a salad over everything else offered in a mall food court, but J Chows is that good. Thumbs up across-the-board.

Just terrible ribs are cold and like rubber. Chicken looks like cooked days ago and reheated I. Microwave. The only good thing was the baked potato!

Best food place in the mall food court. Hearty, tasty, affordable, and healthy. The guy behind the counter, who I presume is J. Chow, goes out of his way to be kind and friendly to customers. Feels like going to your grandpa's house, if your grandpa is good at cooking.
