Easter brunch upstairs was subpar. Ambience was stiff and corporate and felt put together haphazardly. Food was okay but nothing to write home about and some desserts were still frozen. Not impressed. I imagine first floor was better and that regular restaurant offerings are better than this.

My family and I ate here on Easter for the buffet brunch. There were three adults and a kid in our party. There was a variety of foods available like spicy chicken, fried rice, salads, breakfast meats, and ham/roast beef available at a carving station. The dishes I enjoyed the most were the Asian items. The crab rangoon, lo mein, and chicken were very good. I do wish they had some American breakfast items like waffles, pancakes, or French toast. Our server, Andre if I recall correctly, was very good. He informed us of the items, lay of the land, and kept our beverages topped off.

Roast beef was dry and tough. Eggs were cold. Bacon was not evenly cooked—some parts were still almost raw. Chicken was overcooked. No beef stirfy to put over fried rice. Overall, the quality was poorer than other times we hhave attended your buffets and the variety and amount of choices were fewer. Considering the price, we probably will not be back.

We had a 10am reservation for Easter brunch. At 10:02am the doors were still locked and I had to call the restaurant because we (and several other guests) were outside shivering. An associate unlocked the doors, but couldn't be bothered to open the door to let guests in. The floors in the bar area where we were seated and where the buffet was were sticky, and there was hair stuck to the underside of our table. Only half the food was out at the buffet by the time we got up to serve ourselves. Food was lackluster. It was obvious they were not prepared for 10am service. Our server was nice. A manager never stopped by to touch our table. We had plans to attend for Mother's Day brunch, but after this experience we'll be looking elsewhere.

Group of four on a Friday evening and we had a wonderful dinner. We picked everything from Pad Thai to Steaks and it was delicious. Our waitress was amazing as well. Great first experience.

Great food, House Salad was excellent and so was the pasta and the pad thai. Desserts were wonderful as well. Quick service despite a very large group upstairs. Very reasonably priced with interesting and different decor.
Donna
We love that there are Asian and non-Asian options on the menu. Loved the lobster bisque. Service is always excellent.

I was so disappointed in the quality of the meal. I got the Sesame Chicken. Chicken pieces were tiny and way overcooked. Panda Express is actually better at 1/8th the cost. Ambience and service were very good however.

From our initial order of appetizers, to our meals and desserts, everything was outstanding. Service was top notch from our arrival to our departure. We will definitely return!
Paula
We had a LARGE group but we were served very quickly and efficiently eventhough we showed up early. Wonderful service!
I recently celebrated my birthday at J Liu's Bar and Restaurant, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, setting the perfect tone for a fun happy hour.
The service was outstanding; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure our glasses were never empty. They went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed to enjoy our time there.
Now, let's talk about the food and drinks – simply amazing! The menu offered a fantastic variety of options, and everything we tried was delicious. The drinks were expertly crafted, with a perfect balance of flavors that kept our spirits high throughout the evening.
Overall, J Liu's Bar and Restaurant is a fantastic spot for any celebration. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for great food, top-notch service, and a fun atmosphere. Thanks for making my birthday so memorable!
Vegetarian options: Would like to see more vegan/ vegetarian options.

✨ - The salad was great and the drinks were strong! 😋😄 We got the calamari, which came with friend veggies, which were also very good. Our main dishes were alright, but not as tasty as we were hoping. The sesame chicken was "just okay."
✨ - Friendly, accommodating staff.
Ambiance: 4.5/5 ✨ - The 80s music was an interesting, yet lively vibe, but maybe a little too loud 😄

We had a very disappointing experience today with the Thanksgiving buffet. At 3pm, the food was cold and most certainly picked over. The prime rib station was by far the most positive thing. We are both in the restaurant and bar industry ourselves, which is why we went out to eat. A break for our selves. We know what’s involved, especially for a service of this magnitude. At 50$ a head though, warm food is a top priority. We have gone for the buffet the last three years.. This year will be the last. Very sorry to say.
