Good clean place for lunch. Free soup and egg rolls. Food my lunch plate black bean prawns is good value and tasted really good. Sauce is not saucy, well seasoned and good size for the shrimp. Veggies are fresh and crunchy.

Great local spot for some good Chinese dishes. They have had some interesting chef specials the few times I’ve gone - I recommend those. They are open later than nearby restaurants as well which is great. Very friendly staff - love coming here.

Good quality food. Mushroom beef was great, chicken chow fun great, 5 spice bbq ribs appetizer were good but resembled dusty lava rocks, bbq tofu great, delicious seafood clay pot, house chow fun tasty. I recently tried their unadvertised specials and the egg tofu was fantastic as was the braised Chicken. Fantastic !

Fantastic lunch menu and great service! We normally get our meals to go when we are ordering dinner and they really pack a ton of food in the boxes. Our favorite meals are the salt and pepper pork chops, fried wontons, fried rice, and noodles. We havent had a meal that we dont love and we normally go every other week.

I first want to mention the hours online are not accurate, even on their website. We were luckily taken in but after us there were about 5 parties of people turned away.The food was very fresh and presented nicely however everything was generally bland except the sesame chicken. The kung pao was not spicy at all. The prices are decent, but with all the Chinese options in the area, we most likely will not revisit. If you want authentic Chinese food I would also recommend elsewhere- this will not be your place.

My husband and I went to this restaurant over the weekend. Not sure what all the hype is all about. The menu has fried chicken, and we received boneless fried something. The meat was too stringy to be chicken, so I am not sure what animal that was.

I am an RN and stopped in to p/u dinner to go after a long shift in the ER. After 20 mins waiting out front I went in to check in my order. The person at the front desk waved her hand as if to shoo me away and with a rude voice said, it’s not ready yet!As a person of color, I took this personal. My husband who not of color was in the car and not a witness but was offended by anyone being treated this way.In these trying times, forgiveness must come into play but We will not ever support a business that allows their staff to behave in this manner.Stay happy & well !Alta RN

I work in the area and not a lot of places for lunch. I go to Jin Ye maybe once or twice a week or every other week. The restaurant has been remolded, very nice. The dishes that I have eaten is very good. My favorite is the chicken and string bean with rich and the chow fun with chicken, shrimp and beef. The only thing, I did care too much for how the shrimp is cooked, not long enough for me, but I eat it.

One of the bests Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area. Their food is always fresh, delicious and prepared fast!The workers here are always pleasant and accommodating. We really appreciate you staying open during these trying times …You must give them a try!

Good food and service. Garlic noodles were good, and the mushu.

This was an awful experience. We ordered take out and when picking up the food, we saw the cook drop zucchini on the floor to then put it back on the prep area and proceed to chop it. This obviously didnt inspire us great trust but we still gave it a try. Everything we ordered tasted awful: the breading on the sweat and sour pork was super thick and the meat itself really fatty. Potstickers were also a huge let down by being mostly dough and little filling. The vegetable chow main was ok.

This is my go to place for Chinese food! Love the Hot & Sour soup (we always order a large so we can take home the leftover). Weve always found the food to be fresh and delicious. I was really bummed that Little China closed for remodeling (though it really needed it), but the wait was worth it as the restaurant was transformed into a beautiful space, now Jin Ye.

The food is good but tonight the service was completely unacceptable. They piece mealed food to our table. We finished our soup, ended up having twice as much soup as normal waiting for the main courses.They brought one and then 30 minutes later I went to cancel the rest of the order since it seemed they had forgotten us . They said we should have ordered it all together. Thought we had! We have eaten here multiple times, never had this happen. We felt they made their poor service our fault. Since it seems they did have the rest of our meal ready, we took it to go home. By the way we ordered hot Saki, it never did show up. Not really planning to eat here again. Also, restaurant was NOT crowded and I saw only one take-out while we were there.

Jin Ye, formerly known as Little China is a great neighborhood spot. Theyve always delivered fantastic Chinese food, but with their recent remodel they now also deliver great ambiance.The place is looking better than ever and the Chinese food is like comfort food. Highly recommend.

Little China has been around for while but I just discovered it. A small neighborhood place, not much to look at but they provides consistently good Chinese food. In good time and reasonably priced. It was recommended to me when I wanted a good wor won ton soup and they did not disappoint. It had a lovely clear broth filled with won tons, chicken breast, beef, shrimp and bok choy. Ive been going back about once a week ever since.

Good food overall. Enjoyed the chow mien and pot stickers. I liked the hot and sour soup but I wasnt wowed by it like other places. The hot and sour soup here is sweet, like sugar was added to it.

Its fresh, friendly, inexpensive. The lunch specials during weekdays are a great tasty deal. There is sugar in many of the sauces, if you dont mind that, then perfect.

I got the Hunan Salmon which is a house special, it was really good. They first serve you a little pot of tea and a couple fried wonton chips to start. Then you get your entree which was big enough for two servings. Its kind of slow when busy, but the food is good.

This review is a long time coming. I discovered this place about 4 years ago. When I first found it, I actually enjoyed it very much. I thought it was a step up from some of the other near by small chinese spots in richmond. I used to always think the food was better then the atmosphere and that if they renovated it would really be a decent place to have lunch of dinner...The service has always been less then desired. Feeling rushed to get in and get out..Then maybe 4 or 5 months ago they did renovate and it looks great! Inside is a much better feel but unfortunately maybe they are now lacking on their most important part.. The food!... Today my boyfriend and I called in a pick up order (which I highly suggest around lunch if your picking up because they get busy...anyways, when he came home with the food it was almost inedible and half way through, I found a big black hair in my chow fun... Which tasted gross anyways... It was way overcooked and tasted like mush.... And my fried rice was UNDERCOOKED.... This was a disaster and I will not be returning... Expect maybe to ask for a refund for todays lunch! A few hours later I got super sick and threw up and had to leave work so that really ruined my day and I lost hours.. 100% sure I got food poisoning from here today! Disaponted here for the last time! Not to mention my bf and I are professional chefs haha jokes on us! We should have stayed home and cooked.... consequences of being lazy!

First time customer. Every item that we ordered was excellent tasting. Service was a bit slow but that was due to only two people working the restaurant including the kitchen for to-go orders and dine-in. I will be returning in the future.

Delicious, fast, friendly, and they take credit cards over the phone for delivery orders. My son jumps for joy for the chow mien noodles when the food gets here. Wish they were open earlier on weekends!

No msg but yes, chicken breast. Chow mein is flavorful without being too greasy. Small cramped restaurant and so I prefer to take food to go. Fast service and almost always get my Togo items just right.

Good little greasy spoon in Point Richmond, quality of food was excellent but the place feels Rundown. It is somewhat obvious that they prefer to do take out as opposed to table service.
