  Yes, I'm giving this place a 4 star.  Bare in mind, after all, this is a local Chinese restaurant.  Based on that category, it easily should get 4 stars.  The food is very consistent.  It's fresh, and CLEAN [important].  The only down side, at times, the staff aren't that friendly, but after all, it is a local chinese restaurant.  
  
  hmmm...to think of it, i don't recall ever being in a "friendly" local chinese joint.

  Pretty good lunch specials for $5.50 that include fried rice and soup.
  
  I had the beef lo mein which was yummy, had good flavor and the noodles were a great consistency. The rice was good as well.
  
  Do NOT get the wonton soup, it is beyond terrible. It is like a wet napkin in tepid dish water.
  
  I had the sweet and sour soup which was much much better.
  
  Tip: They have a buy 5 get 1 lunch special free card by the counter.

  This is by far the best chinese restaurant in the area.  For comparison, I really like Ruby Palace and Hunan Gourmet.  JP is a takeout chinese type of etablishment, yet the food is much better. The boneless spare ribs are my absolute favorite dish and have little to no fat on them.  Actually, this is the main reasoning for my high rating.  They use the best quality meats for certain.  I love the sauce in their pan fried dumplings, which come crispy.  The bill is never more than $25 for two people and I am always satisfied with the dishes I get (although, I almost always get the boneless spare ribs now).
  
  People are attentive, friendly, and clean.  When wanting cheap chinese food, this is the best in monmouth county ( some people think first wok in Keyport is better... but I have to disagree)

  PLEASE DON'T EAT HERE!!  I had eaten at J & P for the past 2 years, until today...when I crunched down on some sort of beetle or weevil -  when I decided to eat the shrimp & broccoli that I didn't eat the other day!   The food tasted good - until I got that unwelcomed addition, but I prefer cleanliness before taste!  My family & I will never eat there again!

  The boneless spare ribs are delicious and the fried rice is just right.  My dh had the pork lo mein and really enjoyed it.  Great prices and service and the place is spotless!  I also think this is considered Matawan, not Old bridge, but I could be wrong.
