Food actually is pretty good, fresh and clean .I guess because location is @ Sunnyvale, price is little bit high if compared with other locations Chinese food .Ordered house tofu special and Wonton soup bill is $ 39Each table is very close is not comfortable.

I ordered 3 dishes for take-out and none of them tasted good, the taste is much worse than before. What makes me frustrating is the smoked fish tasted unusually sour! This is really unacceptable let alone their higher price than average. How can the owner give sour food to their customer, really disappointing for sure. Be careful to eat there if its your first time or havent visited them for a while, their quality is really bad now with a higher price!

Decent food but the service was a little bit disorganized. I only saw two people working to service like 12 tables for a busy Friday night and they have put the wrong dishes onto my table twice. The dried tofu appetizer (四喜烤麸) had the right taste and flavor but was a little bit too hard. It is supposed to be softer but still chewy. The shanghai style veggie rice (菜饭) was well-done, savory and with the authentic smoked pork meat! The spicy eel (鳝鱼) was also quite nice! I need to bring my Shanghainese friend here for an ultimate judge next time.

Authentic Shanghai cuisine. Try the song shu yu(sweet and sour fried fish), clay pot pork ribs soup, eel, clay pot pork ribs with potato, sesames rice ball sweet wine soup, many dishes and appetizers are tasty, a taste and fragrant from a Chinese wok .Price is reasonable. I come oftenly.

Authentic and delicious Shanghainese food. Clean restaurant, fresh ingredients, very nicely prepared. Came here with my family (whos from Shanghai) and enjoyed the atmosphere, great food, and good service. The waitress spoke Shanghainese, which was an unexpected plus. Will be back!

We ordered Shanghai style salted meat & vege rice, spicy fried chicken, pork stomach with green pepper, and fish with sweet sour sauce, all were really good!

Great place for traditional Shanghainese food. Highly recommend the bamboo soup (can be a little on the saltier side), winter melon soup, and leek boxes. Soups have a very rich broth and the leek boxes come with a good mix of leek, eggs, glad noodles, and little shrimp. Recently tried the spicy garlic pork, pork is leaner than other places, flavor is spot on. Also tried the Q buns, theyre like fluffy chewy sweet bread with filling, pretty good. Also had the salted egg yolk silk squash, flavor was good but the squash needed another minute in the pot. Avoid the small Wonton soup, very bland. Still going through and trying additional items, but currently its my favorite local Chinese food joint. Cant speak to the lunch or deli items, I typically get my dinner here to go.

Delicious food here! Wish they would update their menu so we dont keep ordering things they dont serve (rice roll, porridge, scallop, etc)Btw, they are serving broccoli as gai lan. If you actually want gai lan, you need to specify Chinese broccoli. Ordering gai lan in Chinese doesnt work either, theyll just give you broccoli.

Im always biased toward sweeter Shanghai dishes and they have exactly what I liked! The portions of the dishes are very fulfilling and theyre all reasonably priced.

Cashier is so rude. Understood this is a family business, and cashier may be unhappy about the work, but why put her impatience on customers? Why not hire a more friendly cashier?

Quick, simple, and tasty Chinese food. Walked in for take-out yang zhou fried rice, and got it in ten minutes. Portions are pretty big, price is good. Staff is polite, and overall a pleasant experience. Its like a cozier, better Panda Express in some ways.

Worse Chinese food in the whole Bay Area. Waiting time for a simple fried rice takes an hour. Fried rice was rushed and and some of the shrimp was still cold. Look and taste like the cook just stirred rice and sea food together real fast and serves. Not happy at all.

Great place to have Shanghai taste food. Store owner is from Shanghai, but also provides Chinese dishes in other local taste. Easy parking, price is reasonable, around $20 ppl.

Best Chinese food in Sunnyvale. We use to go to Tao Tao, but Jin Jin is much better by taste and quality and price.

I enjoyed the vegetarian dish and fried rice. Fried tofu nicely cooked. soup was very good and egg plant. could use more vegetarian options. Nice owner. However I went in one evening and asked him if I could have the same fried tofu and vegetable dish, he charged me dinner prices but when I got home what I had was a soup with soft tofu that I couldnt eat I dont know what it was. So I guess the communication is not very good here but the lunch line was enjoyable.

Which stup*d genius had the idea that for take out food only start cooking when customer arrives? I ordered online for sake of saving my time and you are telling me I need to wait 30 mins when arrived for pickup. Because you only start cooking once customer arrives?What a waste of time. And this is definitely the dumbest restaurant in Bay Area.

Food was great tasting, however -1 for super slow service and food, waited about 25 mins after ordering to get our food!

Unforgivably incompetent service. Customers have to babysit the workers to make sure they get their food.I came in person to order takeout shortly after they opened at 5pm and they said my order would be done in 30 minutes, which was longer than I was expecting for simple stir-fry dishes and before a dinner rush, but bearable. I waited at their outdoor seating because I had a baby in tow and came back half an hour later. There were multiple people waiting for their orders, including the person who ordered just before me so I waited with them. I could tell everyone else was growing impatient waiting.I waited another 20 minutes in plain view of them before finally asking when my order would be ready and the guy already forgot I ordered in person from him because I had to tell him my order again and apparently it had been ready for over 20 minutes and no one bothered to say anything. Didnt call me in from outside, didnt ask what I ordered when I came back in. Just wasted my entire familys time and let the food go cold.The two service workers (owners?) were clearly disinterested in working and took no pride in their work. Take-out orders were being clumsily assembled behind their counter. They couldve taken my number to call me, stepped outside, or checked with me when I came back inside in the worst case, but they just ignored me. Even just putting finished ordered on some of the many unused tables so you can find your order would be better than this. Its not my job to check with you every 5 minutes to see if my food is ready.The food was fine, but already cold and bittered by the service when we got to eat it.

We had two dishes: curry chicken and shredded pork with hot garlic sauce. Both were appropriately spicy with a hint of Shanghai-style sweetness, and had high quality ingredients with vegetables cooked tender-crisp. Portions were generous. Food would have deserved five stars, but restaurant ambience was depressing, service a bit slow, and restrooms were closed, so deducted one star from rating.

I ordered online and waited for 1.5 hour and was told the order cannot be fulfilled. I will not order from here anymore.

All of the food we ordered was absolutely delicious! We got the Chinese donut, sesame balls, honey walnut prawns, war-wonton soup, and Yang Chow fried rice. The Chinese donut is deep fried bread and not sweet, but it is so yummy! We cant wait to go back and try more dishes! Thanks for the amazing food!

I buy lunch boxes here almost very day for the past two years. The price is very reasonable and food is like home made. Why do I need to cook myself? I love this place.

The star dish is the bok choy with shiitake mushroom (on the menu it’s called “black mushroom with Chinese greens”). The bok choy is perfectly cooked and a bright complement to the mushroom which is an explosion of flavor.The other dishes we tried were decent: salt and pepper fish fillet, pig ear, yang zhou fried rice. Appreciated that they did not skimp on the protein in the fried rice. You get lots of shrimp, char siu pork, and chicken in it.

I ordered Pick up through Postmates. After half an hour I got message saying it’s ready for pick up. I arrived at the place after than 10min and waited for another 30min or so and it was still NOT ready! The owner said the ready for pick up message was sent automatically by postmates (??) and it means nothing. Ridiculous. I asked a few times and the owner complained that I should not rushing them as they have 2 people at the front desk and 2 back in the kitchen. The old lady at the front desk never answer my question about when the meal is gonna be ready. The old lady even complained about us to another guy in Shanghainese. Rude and disrespectful.

2021-12-04 21:01:45

The service or lack thereof my be the worst I have seen at a restaurant in the local area. I arrived and proceeded to wait by the counter and received no recognition or acknowledgement for nearly 5 minutes despite less than 10 patrons being in the restaurant and 2 workers behind the counter. Finally, we (my son and I) were asked if it was for take out or dining in and they pointed to an area we could sit. We waited another 5 minutes without so much as an acknowledgement of our existence though we were told to sit where we were seated. We eventually got up and exited and once again neither worker so much as opened their mouths as they watch us move to the exit. I will never be back!

Great Shanghai dishes that remind me of home cooked meals. Their wontons are large and flavorful! Green onion pancake yum. They also do non Shanghai dishes well too, which is a bonus. Staff is generous with servings and enjoy their work. Love this place!

Don’t underestimate this hole in the wall! The red bean pancake is going to rock your world. We also got the sautéed eel and family style bean curd which were super flavorful and pair perfectly with a good bowl (or two) of white rice.I definitely will be back! The owner is extremely friendly and we felt very safe picking up our online order.

We saw lots of really great reviews, and so felt confident to use this restaurant. While the orange beef was really quite good, the twice cooked pork was way more fat than pork. The taste of the twice cooked pork was delicious, spicy with that umaman flavoring, which I really enjoyed. But the amount of fat on each slice of pork was disturbing to the Western eye. Far more concerning was the finding of several pieces of hair and even a piece of METAL in our chicken and mushroom dish. I should have taken a picture.No, we are not eating here again. The two stars are for the flavors of the orange beef and twice cooked pork. Major deduction is for the hair and metal found in the mushroom chicken. That is simply unacceptable.

I ordered food from this place today. The gentleman who served me was pleasant and I waited in my car for 15 mins while my order was being prepared. I came back inside and my food wasnt ready and as I was standing there another man came out from the kitchen with no mask, handling food and pretty much laughed when I asked about safety and mask wearing. I canceled my order promptly. This place is not to be trusted if you care about safety and COVID protocols

Very nice little store. Typical Chinese restaurant. Come in on a Thursday night and got seated right away.Ordered three cup chicken, honey walnut shrimp, string bean, and stir fry lamb. Everything was tasty, especially the honey walnut shrimp

Food is OK but its really really slow. For multiple times, food was not ready at the time of pick up. Sometimes, I needed to wait for another 15 mins. However, this time I arrived 30 mins late but food was still not ready. They expressed no apology but told me to shut up. I will never be here again.

Good place for fast Chinese. I got the broccoli beef,and i wanted chicken with asparagus but they didnt have any asparagus, so they kindly made chicken with bok choy. Both dishes were available quickly. The staff was friendly efficient and accommodating. They also have good spicy dishes and dim sung.

I ordered food from Doordash, and had to wait for over 30 minutes after the food was done until the person at the counter managed to pick it up from one pile of food boxes and package it. Entire parties arrived, ordered their food and got their dishes before. Organization is bad for pickup

Review №38

2018-09-06 11:21:13

The Food was good but the service was very sloooow. It seemed like take out was the priority. We sat there waiting for our first dish to arrive for at least 30 minutes and finally received our last dish of the 6 ordered almost 40 minutes later. While people would come in, walk up to the counter, order and leave with bags of food in the time it took us to get one dim sum sized basket of dumplings.

Im excited for a decent Chinese restaurant on this side of town.We went for dinner and got Salted Pork with Bamboo Shoot Casserole (醃篤鮮砂鍋), Shanghai Siu Mai, and Veggie Bun. I really liked the 醃篤鮮. Its one of the best Ive had in the Bay Area. The others were from Dim Sum section and were OK. Price was pretty decent too with just over $20 with half of the 醃篤鮮 left over. We liked the hot tea; they were real Chinese loose tea leaves instead of cheap tea bags.Seems to be a family run business. Theres a lot of Shanghai and Taiwan style menu items. By the accents, were guessing the mom is Taiwanese and dad is Shanghainese. We also heard people talking Mandarin from the kitchen so you know its legit Chinese food.Dim sum items were a bit slow to come out by Chinese food standards, and some menu items werent available. We hope that these kinks are because they just opened and they will improve over time.We will definitely be coming back! I plan on trying some of the Taiwanese dishes next time.

Good food, but the portion is getting less and less.When I brought the issue to the owner, who is the cashier, he said “it depends on the people (who pack the lunch box)”The item in the picture is a $10, 2 item lunch. I did not include the picture of the complementary soup.The worst thing is, they just raised the price recently.

The very first chn restaurant Ive visited in San Jose area back to 2017. The food there tastes good and you have various choices. The owner is from Shanghai and he runs the restaurant well. Yet there is one problem: they dont update menu, there are some courses not available and some other good ones hidden. However, still worth a 5-star rating amongst its tier.

Very home-style and comfortable place to have a casual meal. Had dinner there and they have a large variety choices of dishes, Americanized or authentic. Food there is quite tasty. I can tell they pay a lot of attention to details, from the table settings and the dishes. Overall great food and great experience.

Excellent vegetarian Chinese food. They actually made a special vegetarian sauce for us and tweaked it to our taste. Good sized portion. Small place with a family vibe.

I went out of may way to try Jin Jin because a friend recommended it to me and I was in the area. Parking is a bit difficult because Bank of America has a majority of the spaces marked off - rude!The staff were all very nice and welcoming. It wasnt busy and I told the server behind the counter it was my first time. He explained the plate sizes and the dishes to me to help me choose. I got the sliced roasted chicken and mixed vegetables in beef sauce (eggplant, green beans, sweet potato) with the choice of fried rice or chow mein, not both, and an egg roll. Its your standard Chinese takeout spot where the food is premade so service was fast. There is a fridge of bottled water, canned sodas, and bottled beers. I got a couple of sodas and they offered me a glass with ice even though the soda was cold. I spent about $13 on a 2-item plate, two sodas, and 1 egg roll.The portion sizes are good considering a 2-item plate. The food was just OK though. The egg roll was on the garlic side, which I like but others may not. Overall the meal just lacked in flavor. I was searching for soy sauce to make up for it but couldnt find any. The chicken was sliced through the single bone which I had to eat around. I thought it would come off easier. It looked better than it tasted. The veggies were fine but a bit soggy.I wouldnt seek out this place again. Im glad to have lunch at a locally owned place for a change though, considering all the chains out here.

When we walked in, we thought this place offers Tianjin food judging by its name, but apparently this is a Shanghainese + Taiwanese restaurant.I’m a fan of their Shumai 烧卖 - the flavor is quite authentic, it’s what you’d expect from a restaurant in Shanghai. Aside from the shumai, we usually order 水晶虾仁、山药南瓜百合、腌笃鲜. Food here could be hit or miss, so I would rather stick to what is proven good.We usually come in the evenings for a quick bite and it’s usually not busy, but it could get busy on weekends. We came for a Sunday lunch and had to wait for ~45 min for a specific dish. I don’t remember which dish it was, but we ended up cancelling the order for that dish because we were already done with the meal.

Food is so nice. The driver left hand grease prints all over my vehicle specially near the gas tank door. My vehicle has drag marks under the frame and there are drag marks on the pavement on the same side. Management responded by saying to file a claim with my insurance.

Review №47

2016-11-07 23:26:25

Only one server so you will be ignored most of time.Unmatched menu with true dishes. When you asked why unmatched, they just said they will modify the menu(which never did). ASK PRICE FIRST or you will be FOOLED.Do not ask anything more than THREE times. Or you will be regarded as an overwhelming demanding person. The funny thing is they never ask what you need at first.The only chance they would talk to you was that the server forgot what you ordered after almost 30 mins when you placed the order.Bless to all who go there!

Best value for the money on Chinese food in Sunnyvale that Ive seen so far. The sizzling lamb and garlic eggplant and tea roasted duck were all fantastic. Come with some patience for the staff, theyre all ESL speakers and are used to a clientele that doesnt mind signaling for service. If youre expecting american-style water cup filled every two seconds, this probably isnt your place.

Review №49

2016-04-08 04:08:24

Im rating for the worst service. In summary - waited for 45 min, didnt get our dishes, while three other tables who came after us already have their dishes. Only one waiter available. We tried to communicate with waiter, the response was You dont need to ask me, from your look, I know you are waiting for the food what does this mean??!! No sorry was expressed during the whole waiting. In the end, we just gave up and left the restaurant.My personal advice: there are many other restaurants with good food, stay away from this one!

Review №50

2022-11-10 16:23:52

They will tell you your food is ready in the app, but you still need to wait another 30 minutes when you go pick it up.I think they do it to make them look quick in those take out apps. 🙂Also the people here clearly don’t want to talk to customers 🙂

One of the best Taiwanese Bento restaurants in town, with their selection updating every day so each meal is different.

2017-12-31 10:35:39

Ive ordered a take out chow mein. Im not used to putting spices like chilis or pepper on my chow mein. It tasted almost like a Thai noodle. Im not a hot spicy fan at all. Next time will tell them not to put any chilis in it. They dont have any menu to give out, though. Nice thing about this place their pricing are very modest and their restaurant looks nice enough to have some guests to invite.. Have some picture menus but Google takes a long time in uploading and if I accidentally hIt something outside their box, it will completely delete everything every pictures that Ive tried to upload, you suck Google!! Youre still very low tech!!

Looking for places to eat today for lunch and did not eat here and will never. We saw them wheel in prepped ( cut) produce, specifically sliced bell pepper from a dirty white van. The produce was in a container with no lid and it it didnt look like it came from ice or refrigeration. Super gross. What was flying around in the van?? How long was it not refrigerated? Where was it prepared?? I would seriously question food safety here.

Good Chinese food for very reasonable prices. Offers lots of choices for lunch boxes. Most items on dinner menu are not spicy or oily but still tasty which is good for health if you like Chinese food.

2019-03-11 00:28:33

This is my favorite place to go eat at, the service is a little spotty. The food is very good, you get your order pretty quickly, the only thing that could be desired is that they would bring all of your food at the same time instead of it one plate at a time.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!! Never go here. Waited there standing for 20+ min, and the owner just ignored us. Very very small portion. Poor taste. I wish I could give negative starts.Also, the owner is very DISHONEST! Their menu says a cold dish is 6.99, but the owner charged for 7.99 and thought he could cheat us. WORST place ever.

Went in on a whim and can say that it was well worth it. The food is great and the portions are filling. My previous favorite Chinese food restaurant closed down and this is easily the best replacement to find. Even better than my previous favorite.

Came for lunch but food was cold! Colder attitudes from the workers. Workers were inattentive and messed up my order. For 10 bucks, portions were small, and one of the three items was mostly bones. Will not go back and will not recommend!

Walk in, I am the only one, asked few questions about the items on the menu, then a group walks in, he bluntly says cant help you, have to attend them. May be I took 3 minutes of his time.Goes over to the group says something to them, they all stare at me! !!Hello! Have you heard about customer service! !! Is this how you treat a customer.Served everyone water, except me! Didnt even have the courtesy to ask if I needed something to drink! This coming from someone in the restaurant business! !Wanted to bring my friends over and refer the place! I wont now!!Before running a business, learn something called CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ETIQUETTE! !

Its a small restaurant with tightly packed dining tables. Theres combo options like panda express. The staff is quite busy during office lunch hours as its a to-go place for the asians. Good food except the congested space.

The first time they gave me wrong items, they asked me back for my items and asked me to pay for my items and wrong items. I complained to the owner and only then they waived the wrong item money. The second time we ordered at 5pm to pick up at 6pm. I waited in their restaurant until 7 pm to get. What a disaster

If you want authentic Chinese in Silicon Valley, this is the place. An incredibly affordable restaurant with exceptional regional cuisine. Dont miss Jin Jin Gourmet!

Service was extremely bad. Food was slow and salty. No one even served water or drink to us until we asked again (we explicitly ordered water & drink). DO NOT RECOMMEND.

The owner of this store blatantly deceived consumers and thought they were fools. They charged me 14 dollars, but the dishes on the menu were 11 dollars. When charging, the boss said $11, but he deducted $14 from the POS machine. Isnt this deceiving the consumer? Every time you pay, you must ask the boss for a receipt to see how much he has deducted from you. Otherwise he will deduct you extra money quietlyThe owner of this store blatantly deceives consumers and thinks they are fools. They charged me $14, but the dish on the menu was $11.

The food was served slowly, I had to wait for half an hour. Portions are small, like small plates. I dont like to answer.Anyway, there are many people coming from the Bay Area, so no matter how bad things get, no one will come.Recommended detour

Review №166

If I can give 0 stars, I will never give 1 star. The food is served slowly and the attitude is bad. Order the food and pick it up at the store. Order at 12:00 and the meal will be served at 13:15. When ordering, the meal is expected to be served at 12:40. After arriving at the store Waited more than 30 minutes in the store. I asked when the meal would be served, and the answer was that I didnt know. I was busy today, so just keep waiting. A word of caution to others, don’t eat here unless you have a lot of time to wait!
