This restaurant is a nice surprise. We have been looking for good Chinese in North Scottsdale for some time. We happened upon J Chen yesterday and decided to give it a try. The decor is a bit tiki hut meets Chinese restaurant meets collectibles but in a good way. The restaurant is casual, warm and inviting. The food was great. We had Happy Family and Beef Chow Fun. The sauces were not too heavy, the vegetables were cooked but not mushy and they had a good amount of meat in both dishes. I wish they had not put the celery in the Happy Family but what can you say. The food was good enough that I went back the next day and got an order of Mu Shu Pork to go. The portions are large. The service is helpful and efficient. Without a doubt this will become a weekly stop on our restaurant rounds.
