JJ’S Kitchen & Bar - Red Deer, Alberta

I ordered the "gourmet" ramen and feel it was anything but. The broth was the same as the wonton soup, which isn't bad, but it is far from the rich taste you expect from ramen. The bowl was full of huge pieces of broccoli, and I really like broccoli, but ... it made it harder to enjoy. The fried egg was tasteless, and flat, a strong indication of poor egg quality. And worst was the noodles; I think they might have been spaghetti noodles, or chow mein, they were certainly not ramen noodles. The BBQ pork was tasty, I like a fattier meat in my ramen, but I won't hold that against them. The staff was very nice, and I really enjoyed my dumplings. I may go back one day to try something different, and see if this was a fluke, but if you are craving ramen, do not go here!! Read more

The place is decent inside. We went to watch the UFC fights so we had obviously planned to be there for a long time. The waitress made leave a personal item on the table while we went out for a cigarette, despite us telling her we were going. Why would ... we skip out on a bill that we had made reservations to watch the fights for? I’ve never had a waitress make me do that. The food wasn’t very good. It was edible but it wasn’t anything special, the breaded fish tasted like store bought frozen fillets. This was my first time here and I probably won’t be back. Read more

So disappointed. Went in a a group of 4 to get drinks and appetizers. Everyone was standing, music was so loud we had to shout at each other, couldn't find any staff, not a clean table in the bar area. Felt like the clientele had taken over the place. Standing ... in aisles, moving all the tables, walking around with their drinks. Would not recommend. Would describe as chaotic and unorganized. Read more

Best Ginger Beef I've had in a long time. Excellent atmosphere and friendly staff.

Went to JJ's about 6 months ago and had one of the best steaks ever. 3 months ago we came back. The same order and the steak was alright. But tonight. Oh my. NO FLAVOR WHAT SO EVER. Way over cooked. Stiff as a bord. Dried out. Won't be back
