I came here with coworkers to hang out after a long work day. We ordered a ton of food, so I have to give the rundown. TL;DR definitely order the pizza here! The Asian dishes weren't as good, but we enjoyed our dining experience overall.
When I checked the website, it was heartwarming to see how JenChan's cares about its staff.
Ambience: fun Asian-inspired decoration, like lanterns and a fan. I definitely like the lanterns, but overall dim lighting, and the lanterns give a reddish tint to everything.
Service: It was okay, the staff was friendly. We weren't satisfied with the chicken and they took it off the bill and were respectful about it.
Cheese bread: I didn't eat, but the rest of my coworkers enjoyed it.
Shu Mai: These are good. They are a decent size with a lot of flavor. A good amount of soy sauce on the bottom of the plate.
Crispy Asian wings: One of my coworkers wasn't satisfied and thought the chicken was undercooked. The rest of them enjoyed it, and were fine afterwards so I think it was just a picky coworker.
Pizzas:
Lazzagna - this was the best! It really did taste like lasagna in a pizza form.
Vietnamese Pork - This was good; the herbs and Asian slaw really gave a flavor reminiscent of Vietnamese-inspired cuisine.
Mongolian beef - I did not try this, but the others reported it was great!

Yook Baeng - "inside of a pork dumpling" - so I was disappointed about this dish. I may even say it was the least appetizing looking dish I've seen in a while. I guess I was expecting the "pork dumpling" meat mentioned in the menu mixed with the rice, so a rice bowl of sorts. Instead, it came as the "pork dumpling meat" in its own dish, a very small portion of rice that was VERY dry, and yu choy vegetables doused in soy sauce.
The pizzas I ate were very good, which I keep in mind for my review. But as I mentioned above, the Asian dish I ordered was disappointing.
My coworker ordered the Mongolian beef cheesesteak. He wanted me to note his feedback that the cheese was not distributed equally on his sub (all on one side). But other than that, the dish and fries tasted great.
