Enjoyed dim sum with family. We were a party of 11, arrived at 1 on a Saturday and only waited for about 5-10 minutes before getting a table. The restaurant is in the Tustin Marketplace, so parking can be intense, but we lucked out and found parking right away right in front of the restaurant. We ordered tons of dishes like siu mai, sesame balls, char siu bao, beef balls, chow fun, crispy shrimp rolls, har gow, and more. I always find the food to be great. Clean flavors, not greasy, nice portions. My only complaint is that the price point is a bit high. But if you're in OC and looking for solid dim sum, I think this is the spot.

If you're in the Tustin area and craving dim sum, this place definitely stands out. There aren't many options around here, so it's a solid choice. I'd give it a 4-star rating for Tustin, but if you were to head down to more authentic spots like Bolsa or Westminster this would be more of a 2-star experience. The dim sum is decent, nothing mind-blowing, but everything is fresh and served hot. The quality is good for what you can find in Tustin, but it lacks that "wow factor" you get at the more traditional, bustling spots. As for service, it's pretty typical of many dim sum places staff can come off as a bit rude, which seems to be a common theme in many of these spots.

三觀很重要,但是三餐更重要,不管要跟誰在一起生活,吃吃東西能不能喝,真的是每天都要面臨的問題,港式飲茶,在洛杉磯其實也就是那麼幾家,其實很多大廚菜做的還是不差,凱悅軒我跟朋友來過,應該不下十來次了吧?他們有些海鮮還是不錯吃的

I've been coming here for the past 3 years for work Christmas brunch & it's always a great experience however this time around we didn't receive as much dim sum plates as the past 2 years :( we didn't get any Har Gow so we were kinda sad but there were so many other delicious plates of food so no complaints! We always come with a very large party of about 15-20 people and service is always so great. The servers are extremely attentive and careful with large heavy plates. Highly recommend to anyone who wants some great Chinese dim sum brunch

I spent the first 11 years of my life in Hong Kong, so yes, I'm kind of a dim sum snob. That said, I also spent subsequent years in the greater LA area so I know what's passable vs what's pricey. J.Zhou dim sum has good quality and good variety. The important thing is that they feature some atypical dishes that taste delicious, and I give them stars for that. I think they were also reasonable in not charging my elementary-aged kids (who didn't drink tea) for tea. That said, it's on the pricey side so it would be a once-in-awhile treat rather than every-week treat. We went on an early Saturday morning (probably ~10:45am), and it wasn't hard to find a table. But when we left closer to noon, there were already folks waiting outside so try to beat the lunch rush if you can.

For OC, it's one of the best options I can think of for dim sum. Unless you want to go further to Westminster or LA, J.Zhou has the most authentic food I've had in the area. The restaurant itself is beautiful and feels traditional from the moment you enter the big red doors in the front. Parking can get busy in the plaza but for the most part is not too much of an issue. Large lot with plenty of spots right outside. Service is like any other dim sum place. There's no carts like traditional dim sum so you write down on a list what you want to eat and they prepare fresh to order. Along with China Garden in Irvine which does have the traditional carts, this is the best local option south of the 55 for dim sum in my opinion.
