First time visiting here and it was a very nice experience. O had the daily special being Lo mein with chicken. I also ordered the spring rolls. An order came with 2 rolls with sweet n sour sauce for dipping. The food was hot, fresh tasting and a nice sized portion. The spring rolls were also hot and fresh. I recommend trying them for yourself.

JaJa Cafe is unassuming from the outside, and the parking situation is absolutely one of the worst designs in history: a dead-end, narrow lot in the back with a blind turn, and if there is no spot available, you'll have to back out carefully while other fun-seekers are trying to drive in, only to wish they had learned from you there is no space. This really has got to be a cruel joke. How can it get worse? Food delivery drivers double parking in the back to run in for orders, making a tight spot an even bigger mess. This lot should be condemned by city planning & zoning. Don't even try to park back there - borrow a spot from next door if you must.Now once you get inside, this is a fun & lively venue full of hip people making some really delicious Asian dishes. The portions are large, and prices are inexpensive. You will leave totally full or with a big to-go box.Yes it's great. But do I want to go back and fight that parking? I'll get back to you on that one.

Food was good, picked up as a to go order so didn't spend any time in establishment. Reasonable pricing and large servings.

It’s ok. It’s really not any better than places that charge less. If you’ve ever had good cheap, American style Chinese, this is pretty subpar. Texture on all the food was over cooked and mushy. Everything has a slightly bitter taste and I’m not sure if it’s because of the velveted meat that wasn’t rinsed. I would caution against the wonton soup. The meat is very questionable.

I had a satisfying experience at this Chinese food restaurant. The food is delicious, and the prices are reasonable, plus they offer generous portions. However, parking can be a bit of a hassle. On the bright side, the staff is incredibly fast, and the food is cooked to order, ensuring freshness. The quality of ingredients and flavors earn a solid four stars.

Absolutely love this place! It's a hidden gem! Their food is always so fresh and tastes amazing! The service is so wonderful and all the employees are always so kind and welcoming. I have 3 little kids and they are really sweet to my kids even when my kids are a bit crazy. I will recommend this place to everyone ?Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly
Food tastes great, portions are huge, and wait staff is pleasant.My only complaint is that my leftovers are always eaten by my kids or my roommates before I'm able to do lunch the next day!This is by far, one of my favorite places to eat in Corpus Christi, TX. Love it.Parking: Most parking is in back
