text: Out of the many Chinese restaurants in Waterloo, Jia Jia Lok  (JJL) is one of the few that does not specialize in Northern or Szechuan Chinese cuisine. \n\nBeing a regular there for my four years in Waterloo, you do not go to JJL for the ambience or the service. You go here to get a good, simple and hearty meal at an affordable student friendly price. An added bonus for those of you who understand Cantonese is listening to the banter between the husband and wife duo of the establishment. \n\nThe food is exactly what you would find at the Hong Kong equivalent of a greasy spoon: Baked Pork Chop with Tomato Sauce on Rice, Satay Beef on Rice, Spicy Eggplant and Minced Pork on Rice & Fried Chicken Noodle soup. Portions are pretty good for it size and is pretty filling. Lunch specials are offered Monday to Friday with set dishes and comes with a soup\n\nNote: Cash Only (BMO, RBC, Scotiabank ATM are at King and University). Closed Saturdays.
