Jck Asia Kitchen & Bar

Oh my gosh, the food never disappoints, it’s so good! Definitely comparable to Din Tai Fung but at a much affordable price (: My family LOVES coming here. The service is so fast and always correct too. The ambiance is simple and can be a little loud at times, but that’s not a problem for us. I do wish they had more pescatarian/vegetarian/vegan options though, because their dumplings are usually mixed with some kind of meat, which makes it a little difficult for bringing friends and family that have those dietary preferences. However, their tofu is delicious and their cucumber salad and green beans are “BUSSIN” My husband and my favorite, though, is their pork soup dumplings! Their chicken soup dumplings are good too, but for us, nothing beats the classic. I’ve been meaning to post for a while, but kept forgetting - anyway, HIGHLY recommend!!!(:

I consider this place to be a hidden gem. It’s a smaller but super cozy , modern , clean restaurant . The service is excellent the food is a 10/10. Everything I’ve tasted here has been fresh and delicious. Especially the spicy wonton and soup dumplings .

This small place has mind-blowing beef noodle soup (pho?). I have attached a photo of it. Cozy atmosphere and quite crowded with steam coming out of every corner! The garlic smell was the perfect perfume in this small restaurant. My daughter loved her garlic shrimp noodles. Looking forward to try other foods here.

We came here out of the blue. We saw it on Google and took a chance. The chili dumplings are so good. We also had the mango chicken and the angus steak. We were satisfied with the taste and price. The place is a bit small and I can see it getting crowded but luckily we went at a good time. I recommend this place for a real taste of Asian cuisine.

We had wanted to go to another Chinese restaurant in Chula Vista tonight, but they're closed on Tuesday. We decided to give this place a try instead because they popped up on a Yelp list as one of the best noodle place in the area, and I bookmarked them. We were not disappointed by any of the food or the pleasant service. We came about 40 minutes before they closed and they were very accommodating and took great care of us. They were considerate enough to ask us if we would like anything else at one point so that the kitchen could close for the evening. They did not pressure us at all to leave after they were closed, but we tried to be conscientious and leave as quickly as possible so people could go home. We dove in before we thought to take a picture of the food, so I'm posting a spread that had been dugged into. We ordered 6 items (shrimp and pork soup dumplings, stir fried green beans, fried ribs, beef noodle soup, spicy shrimp wonton, and shrimp fried rice). The beef in the beef noodle soup was extremely tender. I was afraid the broth might be salty as others have commented on, but it was excellent tonight (we usually pour water into our beef soup at Din Tai Fung) and we didn't have to try to water it down. The garlic fried ribs were just flavored with salt and pepper, which wasn't bad, but pouring some chili oil over the ribs took it to a new level. We will definitely be coming here again. Restaurants are so expensive nowadays, but we didn't have any regrets or buyer's remorse eating here. I wish prices were a bit lower so that we can frequent it weekly, but we'll definitely want to stop in once in a while. This place serves delicious authentic Chinese food (think Din Tai Fung) as opposed to "Chinese" Fast Food items (like Panda Express).

The flavor!! I wish I had heard about this spot before. Everything was delicous. We orderd the bao buns, the pan fried dumplings, the mango chicken, and the Dan Dan noodles with pork(not pictured). It was an overall amazing meal. We dipped the mango chicken with the Da Dan Noodles and it was the perfect combo. The dumplings are just packed with flavor as well. The customer service was great as well. The gentleman who sat us was very friendly and helped us make a choice. I could eat here a couple times a week. Please give this spot a try if you anywhere near Eastlake or Chula Vista. Eat up!!!
