This place has a parking lot but it's a small parking lot that is shared with other businesses so, I ended up parking on the street, in front of the parking lot. The place is a tad bit hard to find just because it's sandwiched between other businesses but I found it. I ordered for pick up and the man who was helping me was nice. As for the food, it was better than what I expected. The portions are very generous and the dishes are tasty.

Front of restaurant

I tried the won ton soup 3 days ago, I have been coming back everyday since.. Today is day 4. Delicious and full flavor.... Gonna try more on the menu soon as I'm over this bronchitis..

Spicy Cham Pong (Jjampong)

A small mom and pop shop with quick service. It has couple tables inside for seating and shares a small parking lot with el pollo loco. My toddlers loved the black bean noodles and fried dumplings. Overall, the food tastes like the Korean Chinese food that I grew up with, nothing trendy/fancy. Will definitely be returning to try their other items on the menu.

Broccoli beef bowl with rice
Carol X.

In a nutshell: a whole more than just a hole-in-a-wall __________ At first glance, Jin Chinese Kitchen is more underwhelming, a small, dingy hole-in-the-wall sandwiched between two other larger restaurants. Inside, you're greeted by one elderly waiter resembling Flash the sloth in Zootopia, standing amidst a few rickety wooden tables and chairs and couch booths with faded leather. Sitting there, sipping hot water from styrofoam cups, you feel like you've been dropped straight into the streets of China. Despite the Korean signs hung all around the walls and splattered across the menu, Jin Chinese Kitchen is indeed Chinese, and the inconspicuous exterior belies the surprisingly good taste of the food. The Orange chicken bowl with rice surpasses that of Panda Express, striking a nice balance between the juicy, crunchy exterior and the succulent meat underneath. I ordered the Broccoli beef bowl with rice. I will die on the hill that steamed broccoli with sauce is one of the best yet most simple vegetable dishes ever. While the beef was tougher than I'd have liked, the broccoli was perfectly soft, but not soggy. I personally would have preferred more vegetables than beef and rice portion-wise though. General Tso's chicken bowl features all the expected-tender chicken in small chunks, stray slices of soft carrot, sprinkles of crunchy peanut- that is neither epically bad nor outstandingly good. Note: the rice tastes best after a thorough mixing, where each fleck is coated completely in the mildly spicy sauce. The noodle bowls are gigantic and the rice bowls were pretty large too, so our table turned into a buffet, each person partaking in all the other dishes. Small bowls of red soup were also distributed, which, according to my friend, tasted exactly like "instant noodle water." For my group of two hungry families looking for a quick, inexpensive lunch stop during a road trip, Jin Chinese Kitchen did the right trick. The aesthetics might not be at the highest standard, but when you've been stuffed in a car with rambunctious kids and exhausted parents, the food will most certainly satisfy.

Sad wonton noodle soup/ not authentic :(
Judy G.

I was craving wonton noodle soup and I can tell you that they do not serve authentic Chinese food. I ordered the wonton noodle soup and they used some random noodle and some random pieces of mixed veggies and some wonton made out of dumpling skin some broth that's definitely not wonton soup! I know my wonton soup when I tasted it and I was extremely disappointed. Sad meal for $10. After, I went to El Pollo Loco to order some actually fulfilling meal because I was still hungry but mostly disappointed.

Best jjampong and best jjajangmyun in LA I seriously haven't had this flavor since Korea I love them so much I get my fix every week I'm so lucky and happy to have found. This place it's that good My nickname is Jjampong and jjajangmyun killaaa Try them the whole menu is bomb Thank you for delicious food every time I greatly appreciate it !!

Orange Chicken Lunch Special (not pictured white rice and soup)
Carolina O.

Love this place! Good prices for the amount of food you get. Whenever I eat other chinese food I always feel so gross and it feels so greasy to me, but this place is definitely not like that, I don't even feel guilty lol (maybe because it's korean/chinese? Idk). I can't even say what my favorite thing is because everything was so good. Today we ordered the Stir Fried Cham Pong, the Spicy Cham Pong, the Orange Chicken Lunch Special, Ja Jang Myun and the Sweet and Sour Pork. I am very happy to have all this food to enjoy all week long. Last time we ordered from here my roommate and I were hungover and it was the most amazing thing to eat literally all day long haha, so this is our go to for those days. And today this was a nice way to just celebrate Single Awareness Day.

Nearly a 50 year old establishment with Chinese food made to cater more towards western palate. A nostalgic place. If you want to taste original Americanized Chinese food, this is authentic in its own category. If you want more authentic ethnic dishes with roots from mainland China, then that's more in the heart of SGV. But Chinese food that is accommodating to most palate, then this is a good try.

In a sauce That's not that great. I ordered the Slippery shrimp, Slippery chicken, another disappointment, the veggies that contain baby corn and different types of mushrooms (delicious), vegetable fried rice (also delicious) and the grren beans with minced chicken (another delicious option). The Slippery shrimp and Slippery chicken were not good and entirely too sweet. I usually like the reviews from tik tok but in this case, it did not live up to the expectations.

Came here after a long day of walking along hollywood and i am so happy we did. I wasnt too sure of…read morewhat to expect, but the interior was so beautifully done with a mix of a subway/ speakeasy vibe and perfect lighting for any occasion. It was a but busy when we got there but luckily we got seared pretty shortly after arrival. We originally wanted to sit at the bar, but opted for a table for less wait time. When first looking at the menu we were shocked by the prices. I knew immediately i wanted to get the hui tou potstikers with pork and noodles. We ended up adding on the hongkong style wontons too. To my suprise the wontons arrived in a delicious and warm broth, keeping them perfectly moist and plump. The broth was so delicious even on a hot day, tasting faintly of sesame and scallion. Despite both dishes being pork they were so different and equally amazing in flavor. The pan fried potstikers which were CRISPED TO PERFECTION especially reminded me of black bean shortribs that you get from dimsum, fatty but hearty and had me wanting more and more each bite. The minced pork noodles were to no suprise, so good. Noodles tasted fresh, the sauce was umami with mushrooms and pork. While im not the biggest fan of mushrooms, i still ate it up. I feel it would be so good with some picked cabbage too to complement the saltiness. Most notable thing... THAT CHILI OIL. We probably used almost half the jar left at the table. It wasnt spicy at all, but it had this flavor that i genuinely have never tasted before. The texture of the chilli and sesame and the nutty flavor had me in awe. Enough to take two jars home... i would do it again. Servers were so quick, made sure everything we needed was at the table. Regardless of the crowd we were met with promptness and generosity. This that wonton place your girl tells you not to worry about forreal. Will be coming back despite the long drive from home.

Anything you can eat you any night you don't have to cook is usually a great night out. This evening was no exception. Our waitress was kind and accommodating. Positive energy, drinks filled and smile that felt genuine. The ambiance of the restaurant was bar like, but with adequate seating for dining in. Everything was prepared wonderfully and had tremendous flavor. I recommend trying their Hui Tou, stuffed with pork or beef, pork and leek pancakes, they also have vegetarian options. Their pork shumai was delicious, xiao long bao's soup dumplings were flavorful. Delicious. I definitely need a second trip here to try their soups and more of their variety of dumplings.

First off, AI let me down on this one…read more I came here expecting it to hit the mark for some solid kung pao chicken and mu shu pork after what I thought was a thorough search for the best Chinese food in Chinatown. That was my first mistake -- they don't even serve mu shu pork. That one's on me for not checking the menu first. I ended up getting my kung pao chicken and settled for the Mongolian beef, and veggie egg rolls. The Mongolian beef I could definitely pass on. The kung pao chicken was good at first, but somehow lost its flavor as the meal went on. The egg rolls were just okay. Nice and crispy on the outside, but too mushy on the inside for my liking. I was also pretty surprised (and a lot sad) that they didn't have hot mustard. The tea was really good though! Service was fine. The server was attentive, just clearly busy keeping up with all the takeout orders coming through. Ambience is definitely on the lower side here, so don't come expecting a nicer Chinese restaurant. It leans more Santa Ana burger joint vibes. That said, everything felt clean and they were pumping out a ton of takeout orders while we were there, so clearly they're doing something right. Overall, it just didn't hit for me, and I don't see myself coming back.

The braised pork belly was so incredibly soft and melt-in-your-mouth, and paired with the pickled carrots and cucumbers tucked into that steamed bao bun - so juicy. We also got the scallion pancakes which were crispy, chewy, and came with a soy ginger dipping sauce. The wood ear mushroom and bean curd stick salad was a nice lighter contrast to the heavier dishes too. We tried the beef noodles as well. The noodles were a bit on the tougher side, which is kind of expected with this style, but the flavors were solid overall. But do NOT sleep on dessert. I had to order the deep fried bao bun with ice cream scoop inside and it was delicious. Absolutely worth saving room for if you're looking to end your meal off with a sweet treat! Parking is easy with plenty of street parking nearby. Love that there's both indoor and outdoor seating - the patio outside is perfect for bigger groups at night, and the inside has its own aesthetic vibe that's equally great. Great service, good vibes, and delicious food. I'll be coming back!
