I have been wanting to try this restaurant for the longest time and so glad I finally got to last Friday at lunch time. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and feels very upscale. It's probably the fanciest Chinese restaurant I've been to in AZ. The lunch menu is excellent and quite impressive! There are 8 entrees to choose along with a side for only $20. What's crazy is that a full size seafood and wagyu beef belly jjampong is a side! They're regularly $24 so it's a crazy deal to get an additional entree!! We ordered seafood jjampong and wagyu beef jjampong as sides and genghis khan beef and chili garlic fried chicken as mains. The jjampong had that great umami taste without the oiliness that's unavoidable at other restaurants. The ingredients felt very premium and fresh. Ghengis khan beef pieces were very generous and tender with a savory sauce. Chili garlic chicken was a tad salty for me but had great crisp. Service was impeccable and one you'd expect from an upscale restaurant. I can't wait to go back to try other dishes from the lunch menu. I also want to try their happy hour that's available everyday from 4-7PM. All the food items are only $7 and variety looks amazing. read more

This is a very upscale and beautiful Asian restaurant. The food was very good and the service was spot on and very kind. We went during lunch and their lunch menu is great. I ordered the seafood jjam-pong and Genghis-khan beef. The jjam-pong was not oily like at other restaurants which I appreciated. It was very flavorful and clean tasting. The beef was delicious and savory. I couldn't finish it all and had leftovers. I would definitely go back and try many other dishes. Highly recommend! read more

I had a wonderful experience at Jin Jia for my friends birthday dinner. We should have came sooner! The inside is sleek with a high end modern twist. I really loved the chains around the booths, it made our booth feel more private. You can't miss the big gold fortune cookie near the restrooms! So cool! Our server was so sweet, attentive and very informative. She explained the menu really well and gave great recommendations. We ordered a cocktail to start, I started with the star in the sky. I absolutely loved this beautiful yummy blue drink. It had supple pineapple, coconut milk, 5 spice and bacardi rum . My friends ordered the asian pear flower and an espresso martini. My friends enjoyed their drinks. We ordered two appetizers to share, the Jin Jia crispy egg rolls and the prawn toast menbosha. Both were great but the prawn toast was our favorite, crispy prawn with a lemon cream sauce, what else can you ask for!? So delicious. The crispy eggs rolls don't look like your typical egg rolls and they don't look that appetizing but they had a great crunch and were very tasty. For our entrees we shared the classic chili garlic shrimp, sweet and sour beef, vegetable fried rice and a side of white rice. It was the perfect amount for the 3 of us, we even went home with some leftovers. The food was so delicious! For the birthday girl, we went with the trident banana lupia with mascarpone. oh my gosh, this dessert was phenomenal! I'd love to come back during their $20 lunch specials and their $7 happy hour, looks like a great deal! See you then! read more

If you haven't checked out Jin Jia yet your missing out. We finally went for a birthday dinner with friends, and it was such a great experience. The space itself is cool. The décor is sleek and modern with a really upscale vibe. I loved the ceiling lanterns and the booths along the side. They make the place feel intimate and stylish. There's even a giant fortune cookie in the back that adds a fun. We kicked things off with cocktails. I had the Asian Pear Flower Martini, made with pear vodka and grapefruit, lemon juices, topped with a thin slice of pear. It's very light and refreshing. One friend ordered the Star in the Sky, an electric-blue pineapple and coconut martini, and another had the espresso martini (served without foam, which was interesting but still great) The menu blends Korean and Chinese cuisine, and everything is meant to be shared family-style, which we enjoyed. We started with the Jinjia Crispy Egg Roll (filling is king crab, prawn, mushroom) and the Prawn Toast "Menbosha." The Menbosha was the standout. It's crispy medallions of minced prawn served with a lemon cream dipping sauce. Absolutely delicious and a must-order!! For entrées, we shared the Chili Garlic Shrimp and the Sweet & Sour Beef (Korean-Chinese Tang-Su-Yug crispy beef) along with vegetable fried rice and a side of white rice. Portions were generous, we even had leftovers. The Tang-Su-Yug was beautifully plated with vegetables and a tangy glaze, the fried rice was light and fluffy, and the shrimp had just the right amount of heat without being overpowering. For dessert, we had the Trident Banana Lumpia, served with mascarpone, brown butter walnuts, and fresh fruit. It was fantastic and since we were celebrating a birthday our server brought it out with a sparkler, which made it extra fun. Speaking of service, our server was wonderful. She was friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations that really helped guide our meal. We also checked out the happy hour and lunch specials while we were there, and the deals looked amazing. The bar area leading out to a small patio also looked like a great spot to hang out. We'll definitely be back! read more

I love JimJis. It is classy. It has lots of space. Good patio, & good views. The Desert Ridge fountain is right across from it so you can still get the vibes of Desert Ridge. I have always been treated amazing here. Suffice is 1A & let me tell you food the bar the food is pretty amazing too, which is very surprising because you would think the grand size of this place would take away from the authenticity of the flavors but that's where I was wrong. The food feels like home. It's authentic! I wanted to keep this one for myself and make sure I always get my favorite spot but it's OK. It's good for everyone to know .... Jin Jia is pretty awesome! read more

If you're curious about Jin Jia, don't be. I went tonight for the first and last time. There was no love or flavor this overpriced joint. It's hard to believe that the same person who owns Sizzle owns this dump. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and a little dark, probably to compensate for the lackluster food. We ordered menbosha which was delicious. The dumplings were grayish in color, and just so-so. The sweet and sour soup tasted like barbecue sauce. The tangsuyuk was beef, not chicken, with an off putting sweetness but very little sourness. The jajjangmyun was a puny portion that had absolutely no flavor. They also charge $10 for a pot of hot tea. And it took a while for it to come out. The service was excellent. But overall, I recommend that you skip this place. It's just not worth the hype. read more

Here's our bill: Sweet & Sour Beef $24.00 Kkan Sho Prawn $24.00 Chili Garlic Fried Chicken $23.00 Jja Jang (x2) $38.00 Shanghai Sour $18.00 Midnight Blossom $34.00 Milk Tea Fruit Tart $13.00 Beef was delicious. Definitely sweeter than expected, but tasty and good texture. Prawns were unnecessarily spicy. Texture and flavor were good, but this dish isn't usually supposed to be kick your butt spicy. Interesting take on one of our staples. Chicken was also spicier than it needed to be. Also tasty with good texture, but unsure why they feel the need to make these dishes to this spice level as a standard. Maybe make it an option to go spicy but have a normal spice level as the standard? Jja Jang Myeon was very good. We were pleasantly surprised by this dish as it's a staple and even our kids are good judges of jjajangmyon since we tend to eat it a lot. This passed the test for all adults and kids alike. Tasty and with good texture. Could've used more noodles to sauce ratio but pro tip: mix whatever leftover sauce into rice and eat it that way! Shanghai sour and midnight blossom drinks were both great. Got the milk tea fruit tart compliments of the restaurant, for our little one's birthday. The sparkler "candle" was fun for him and the tart was enjoyed by all. Definitely recommend this dish to top off your meal. Service was great. We called on a Saturday to see about getting a walk in table because online showed no reservations. When we walked in, half the restaurant was empty so I'm not really sure why they acted like they were doing us a huge favor getting us in. It stayed half empty the entire time we were there. Ambiance is on the fancier side (especially for these menu items) but fun. Not too fancy where you feel out of place. It's noisy in there but not too loud. We had 3 young kids and never felt out of place. read more

The Happy Hour menu is probably the best in Desertridge. $7 menu. Everything I ordered tasted amazing and the service was exceptional.

Jin Jia - Chinese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Came in for an early dinner around 5pm and tried a nice variety of dishes from the Happy Hour menu. We ordered the egg rolls, golden dragon wings, and steamed dumplings to start. For our mains, we had the Jin Jia Fried Rice, Chili Garlic Fried Beef "Kan-Fung-Yuk," and the La-Jo-Gi. The egg rolls were my favorite of the night, I even ordered a second round, though they were forgotten and never made it to the table. It wasn't a big deal since I was already full, and they removed them from the bill without any issue.The food is served family-style, but I did feel the portions were on the smaller side for the price. That said, the service was good, and the decor has a trendy, modern vibe. We sat in the lounging area, which my kiddos really enjoyed, and overall we had a fun dinner together.We'll definitely be back to try their happy hour next time. read more

I've been here three times but hadnt have a chance to write a review! I've come here for dinner, HH, and lunch. The lunch special for 2 for $20 is the best. We got the crispy beef and jjajjangmyun and then kkangsho shrimp and jjambbong. The "main" dishes are on the smaller side and similar to what is given during HH. The noodles however are huge! We were so stuffed and brought some of the noodles back home. The quality is excellent - I just wish it wasn't so far out! read more

My first time dining here and was an excellent experience. I dined on a Monday late afternoon and there were only a few other patrons present. First thing I noticed was their booths are huge and each could probably accommodate 8 persons or more. I was seated at a table with a cushioned seat and it was very comfortable. I began with the Seaweed Cucumber Salad. I have to say it was much spicier than I expected. While not too spicy it definitely had a wake-up-your-taste-buds kick to it. Very unique flavors made it a worthy start to the meal. My main course was the Lobster Fried Rice. This where they lost a point as the waitress brought out the dish while I was still eating my salad. This should not happen in a classy restaurant such as Jin Jia, especially when there were only a few other customers present. The Lobster Fried Rice was big enough to share. It was a large portion and I was able to finish it off. The dish was very good and had a decent amount of chunks of lobster. The flavor was what I expected - not spectacular buy fit for fine dining. I'm glad I dined here and I recommend this restaurant. There's ample parking nearby by. The entrance door is nondescript and, at first, I tried entering from another door and Hwy was locked. read more

Nice upscale Chinese restaurant with a quiet & fancy ambiance. Tang-su-yug is pretty authentic, except they add strawberries here. The strawberry flavor was pretty distinctive and overpowering especially on the adjacent pieces of meat, and I personally didn't really care for it. Jja-jang noodle and Menbosha were both pretty tasty. read more

Hubby & I had date night at Jin Jia, and were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is located in Desert Ridge, and there's plenty of parking out front. I started with the Shanghai sour, which was refreshing, and had the perfect dash of sweetness from the Chambord. The prawn toast took me back to childhood. My father loved ordering shrimp toast when we dined at Chinese restaurants, and this appetizer was amazing. I can't remember the name of the crispy beef entrée we ordered, but it was cooked perfectly, and not super spicy. The fried rice was immaculate! It was light, fluffy, and had the perfect blend of spices and seasonings. I would also recommend the La-Jo-Gi. I believe it was cooked in a brown sauce and it had lots of veggies. I would recommend Jin Jia for date night! read more

We have been meaning to try this place out and went with my friend for a lunch. This place is huge and very fancy. A great dining place for date nights, family or friends. I loved the ambiance and the decor. We were seated immediately and asked if we wanted any drinks. Since we were just getting lunch picked from their lunch menu. Everything is priced at $20 with a main dish and side. We went with chili garlic shrimp and chili garlic fried chicken with a side of fried rice. The portion is really good and though both chicken and fish were chili garlic they tasted different and spot on. We loved both the dishes, the flavors were fantastic, very filling and enjoyed our lunch. The service is impeccable and totally worth the money. I would love to try their full menu and dinner options too. A must visit in desert ridge. read more

Tried this place out for the first time & all four dishes we ordered were extremely sweet. The sugar could be cut in half- it tasted like someone just poured simple syrup in everything. I wanted to rinse the vegetables off to taste them. The only thing we enjoyed was the egg roll, which came with the lemon syrup sauce on the side. Would not come back. read more

Food was amazing. I am always so surprised that the food is so fresh and the flavors are so unique. I got three dishes, an appetizer, and a dessert and that was more that enough for a family of three. The environment was beautiful and very chic. And I loved the server was able to give a little bit of background on the restaurants' menu. read more

My experience was horrible secondary to terrible customer service with no service recovery! The $21 crab egg drop soup had no flavor, even after adding salt. The scallop dish and drink were good. However, service is just as, if not, more important than the meal. The server took my friends order, he had his back to me when doing so, and then walked off, never to be seen until my friends food was brought out. I mentioned to the manager my order was not obtained by the server when he dropped my friend's food off. The manager never came back to f/u or even offer an apology! How does a server not take a customer's order and it's ok?! Gratuity is not automatic, it's service based and my service lacked, big time! I won't be back, as there are too many options in the valley to go where I'm not appreciated! read more

What a gem to find in Desert Ridge! The food and service was incredible. Food presentation was so artistic and talk about tasty! This restaurant is a foodie's dream come true! The pan fried dumplings were great. My Prawns with Mango were so delicious with a light but creamy sauce in which to dip the, (oh so lightly battered) huge prawns (6). My husband ordered Chile Garlic Fried Beef. A generous serving of spicy meat. We ordered chicken fried rice also which was a big surprise. A mound of perfect fried rice over which was a sliced seasoned chicken breast....a meal in itself! I did succumb to the fruit tart dessert. This was so beautifully presented it was a sin to destroy it. BUT I DID and it was awesome. read more

Live in Scottsdale and on a return from a trip across town my wife and I decided to stop by Desert Ridge and give Jin Jia a try. First thing that caught our eye was the design of the restaurant. Definitely gives an upscale vibe. We were there on a Tuesday night and it was pretty quiet, but seems like the type of place that could be poppin on a Friday and Saturday. From what I understand the food I'd Chinese-Korean fusion and the upscale Asian theme coincides with that. First the drinks...wife had a Citrus Blossom which was like a citrus flavored martini which was strong but very good/flavorful. I personally had an oolong caramel tea and it was one of the best teas I've ever had. I don't like sweeteners or anything in my tea and can say this was one of the most naturally flavorful teas I've ever tasted! We started our meal with their Prawn toast, which was excellent. It came out with 4 small circular "toasts" and looked a little small but were very dense and filling. For our main courses my wife ordered the Citrus Soy Chicken which was served cold along with some fried rice. I was skeptical at first of it being served cold but it was exceptionally flavorful and while the chicken is fried it was surprisingly light. I personally ordered the Spare Ribs which were AMAZING--tender, flavorful and spicy. We are trying to stay healthy and lose a little weight so we skipped dessert, unfortunately. Service was solid. The bartender and a single server were covering 5-6 tables together and both were friendly and attentive. We've always struggled to find a decent Asian place that we like out here, but Jin Jia will almost certainly become apart of our regular rotation. read more

The $20 lunch special is the best deal in town. Had the black noodle and sweet and sour pork and finished every bite. The mains we ordered were another sweet and sour pork and it was similarly portioned as the lunch special! The eggplant and string bean dish was a little soggy but still tasty. I would just stick with the lunch specials. The jjambong seafood soup, fried chicken and shrimp were all also very good. My toddler loved the black noodles. This place is supposedly owned by a famous Korean chef but the staff are not Korean and the inside reminded me of Las Vegas. I had never been served this type of cuisine by non-Asians before! This place would do well in Chandler or Gilbert where there are more Asians who flock to Korean-Chinese cuisine. Will definitely come back and would recommend to everyone! read more

The food was insanely good, the staff was incredibly friendly, and it was such a comfortable dining environment. I would 10/10 recommend this place. I look forward to returning! read more

THIS AIN'T A KOREAN RESTAURANT. THIS AIN'T A CHINESE RESTAURANT. This is a CULTURALLY CONFUSED Asian-"inspired" disaster of a place. None of the staff were Korean, Chinese nor Asian. Highly unlikely the chef is Asian. Our first clue should have been the absence of ANY Korean or Chinese staff and/or patrons. NONE. Restaurant was almost empty. DISASTROUS "food". Ice water was delivered without a straw. We had one little taste of the revolting "food", paid, and left. Yes, it was THAT BAD. The "Genghis Khan" beef was a fatty, oily, burned to a crisp sweeter than candy mess, which arrived lukewarm and with no rice. We asked if they had kimchi, the response was: "sometimes we do", went to check , returned and said: "sorry, no kimchi". WTF. My husband's Zha Jiang Myeon tasted like low quality spaghetti noodles with a weak, diluted Zha Jiang "seasoning", also arrived lukewarm. Small portions, big price. I cannot recommend this place. And the staff all looked miserable. I do not like leaving scathing reviews - but I hate being disappointed and the feeling of being ripped off EVEN MORE. read more

I had a pretty good experience here overall. The appetizer was absolutely amazing - definitely a highlight of the meal. My date's dish was great as well! However, my main dish didn't quite hit the mark. I wasn't fond of the lack of flavor. It was mostly just veggies without much other flavor. Our waitress was in training, and she did a good job recommending dishes when I asked, though I didn't end up liking the one I chose based on her suggestion. She was a bit too pushy and not attentive enough overall, but I am not holding it against her because she was new! That said, the restaurant is reasonably priced for the quality of the food. The atmosphere was fantastic - very sophisticated décor, and it was actually pretty quiet for a Friday evening at 5:30, which was a nice surprise. Overall, I'd give it another try, especially to try other seafood dishes! read more

Food is amazing 10/10 as always Great location in desert ridge - a bit tricky to find in the beginning if you're new to the area - but it's next to Barnes and noble. I've dined in here countless times on numerous occasions and can't say any bad word about it It's a high end Korean/Chinese dining fusion so the flavor variety is there. Order the MEMBOSHA shrimp You won't regret it! For entree we usually get the chicken fried rice and shizuan beef/Crab The ambience of this restaurant is very upscale comparing to NOBU. Very classy & Upscale! Price POINT $25 per Entree. Oh and order dessert too! The Banana Lumpia is a Filipino afternoon dish that they have on their menu! Service is always good. Hostess greet you with respect and they're always on top of it checking in with your drinks Price point $25 per Entree So average family meal will be $150+ read more

Jin Jia - Chicken Fried Rice 10/10 Could eat this any day! The flavor of chicken is fantastic - Chinese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The dining room is on the upscale side for a Chinese food place. I'm going to call it Chinese food because they have fried rice. Granted it's lobster fried rice or chicken fried rice where the chicken comes in strips. It's probably better to think of it as Asian Fusion as the menu is full of dishes that I've never tried before. The crispy egg rolls were pretty tasty, egg drop soup was good and the lobster fried rice is what you would expect. The stuffed shitake mushrooms were good by themselves but they were slathered in the chili black bean sauce which kind of overpowered the dish. Service is good and portions are sharable size. Cocktail menu has a good selection of specialty cocktails. read more

We ordered four dishes: -mango shrimp: 3/5, too sweet To the point that shrimp flavor is not recognizable. The mango flavor was also lacking and lost its attraction, it is probably because it is too sweet. - Sweet and sour beef: 2/5, The beef was covered in batter and is fried Until crispy, A type of Hard crispy. The sauce was also too sweet to our liking. It was like candied crispy beef instead of the regular sweet-and-sour beef Chinese style. - Five spice pork ribs: 5/5 This is the star of the dinner. Very tender. And flavorful. This dish saved our entire dinner. - Shrimp patty with bread ( I forgot what it's called) 4/5 - Jiajang noodles: 4/5 decent, good Overall:3.5/5 but since our waitress was so nice to us (Haley) and the restaurant atmosphere is very classy and comfortable, we increased the rating to 4/5 read more

This is definitely an upscale Korean-Chinese restaurant. The reason is called Korean-Chinese restaurant is because the style of food is commonly found in Chinese restaurants in Korea, and originally from Shangdong Province in China. Prawns toast filling is very good, the toast is a bit oily for me. Jiajia Noodles is very nicely prepared, noodles was slightly overcooked, but the sauce is delicious. Yang-jia-pi, which is my favorite dish in this type of restaurant, is . From the presentation to the ingredients, especially the gluten skin, to the taste. It's one of the best! Service was good, the sauces that accompany the dishes can be confusing. read more

We visited on a Saturday afternoon and the interior design of this place was just so amazing. I loved the Lazy Susan tables as it was an homage to a traditional Chinese banquet eatery. Between 2 people, we ordered the eggplant with string beans, sweet and sour beef, la-Jo-gi, and a bowl of rice. The dishes are meant to be shared and all the dishes are rice thieves!! Out of the 3 mains, the eggplant with string beans was our favorite. It reminded me so much of my mom's cooking too. The slight caramelization on the edges added to the umami profile and having it come out piping hot was my favorite. A true classic dish. As for the sweet and sour beef dish, I think I prefer pork as it would be more juicier. The touch of fruits (Strawberry, lychee, pineapple) shocked me at first but they are great palate cleansers. The wood ear mushrooms were also a nice touch to the fried dish. It balanced the greasiness. The la-Jo-gi that is supposed to be a spicy chicken dish was a bit underwhelming. Maybe because I wished it was more on the spicy side. Regardless, the chicken stripes were super tender and the vegetables were perfectly crunchy and added a nice texture to each bite. Our waiter was very attentive and it was good service. For a fine dining restaurant, the price point was reasonable and it didn't break our wallets. Our total was around 90$. read more

I searched reviews before coming here because as a vegan I can almost always get something at an Asian restaurant- after scanning the menu at Jin Jia they had loads of veggies, ma po tofu, and white rice- surely they could throw something together for me, right? I found a review on yelp saying they couldnt accommodate vegans but they replied saying they could so I was cautiously optimistic. Alas they can... but with plain steamed vegetables and steamed rice. They were super kind about it and acknowledged that they aren't set up to accommodate vegan or gluten free well. And luckily there are tons of other restaurants nearby so we were able to go somewhere else. Grateful for their kindness and willingness to check for me but disappointed that they can't accommodate vegans (or it sounded like vegetarians either as they said the reason was their sauces all had fish or meat). read more

Expensive and just OK..note, this restaurant does not have fountain sodas - all drinks come in bottles (not so environmentally friendly). I had picked this restaurant because it is rare to find a Chinese Korean restaurant, especially outside of LA, the bay area, or NYC. We gave it a shot and it fell short of expectations. The dishes were plated beautifully and were tasty, but I didn't find they matched their price points (compared to other restaurants in the same shopping plaza). Also, the layout of the restaurant was odd. It was almost half lounge, half restaurant with a dark moody feel. The meal for two was quite pricey and it seemed more like a restaurant one might find in Santa Monica or San Francisco. read more

Stopped by Jin Jia for happy hour and ordered a couple drinks and a few things off the happy hour menu to start. Pretty good selection and this time tried a couple different things. We ordered the eggplant and string bean in oyster sauce and wok fried dumplings. Both were excellent. Next time I'll try the bok choy in oyster sauce. The eggplant was very hot and fresh and the oyster sauce was delicious. I really loved this dish. The dumplings were also very good and a nice size portion and very filling. We also ordered the Seafood Ba Bao which was very good; a nice selection of fresh seafood, including scallops, shrimp, calamari, and lobster cooked in a nice sauce. Second time here and in the past we enjoyed the shrimp toast, egg rolls, and Wagyu Beef Chow Fun. I would definitely try this place if you enjoy higher end Asian food. Also noting the staff here are very nice and service is good. Definitely will come back again. read more

Pretty good upscale Korean Chinese fusion food! The service was very kind - happy to answer any questions and patient. When the restaurant started filling up for dinner, the service got a little slow but we didn't mind too much. Food came out in a reasonable time. Ordered: Prawn toast menbosha: really tasty fried shrimp patty! Enjoyed this appetizer. Yang Jang Pi: used to the Chinese version when we go to Northern Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area. The strong mustard sauce is supposed to be tasted throughout but there was a sweet and saucy stir fried beef & veg layered on top which overpowered the mustard taste so a little disappointing but not bad. Wished it was just mustard sauce based. Spare ribs: probably my fave dish! Really crispy yet tender, great with white rice as it leans salty. Citrus soy chicken: good flavor but some pieces were so fried that it was hard to bite into - thought it was bone lol but it wasn't. Also a bit too salty, needs plain rice to eat. White jammpong: non spicy version of seafood jammpong. Tasty - loved the thick noodles with perfect bounce. Lots a filling. Soup has a white pepper flavor. A little too salty for my taste. Milk tea fruit tart: good tart base - crispy and buttery. Creme pat inside could have a stronger tea flavor. Barely tasted it and would have preferred a classic vanilla bean creme pat instead. Overall a nice restaurant to visit when wanting some more upscale Asian food. Would return, might ask them to go lighter on the salt. read more

Jin Jia - Wagyu Beef Belly Jjam-Pong - Chinese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

A friend of mine recently chose this place for his birthday dinner. We wanted to try somewhere that had been on our radar for a while that none of us had the chance to try yet. After looking over the menu, we decided to start off with the king crab egg drop soup, prawn toast, and the JinJia crispy egg rolls to share. The prawn toast was delicious, had the right amount of crisp to it, paired with an addicting sauce that wasn't too sweet. Loved how unique the egg rolls were, especially the texture of the egg roll skin. For our main entrees, we ordered the Jja-Jang noodle, seafood Jjam-Pong, mango prawn, Sichuan soft shell crab, sweet and sour beef, JinJia spare ribs, and the chicken fried rice. The jja-jang noodles were good, the beef was nice and tender, we loved the potatoes in this dish. The seafood jjam-pong was okay taste wise; we were surprised by the amount of seafood this dish had. The mango prawn was okay, a little bit too sweet for our taste buds, but we had to try it since we saw the word "mango" on the menu. The Sichuan soft shell crab was our favorite entrée of the night. It was nice and crisp, with a wonderful amount of spice and a subtle light sweetness to it. The sweet and sour beef was enjoyable, the beef wasn't overdone or drowning in too much sauce. The JinJia spare ribs were surprisingly not as spicy as we had anticipated, which was good. The meat easily came off the bone. Overall, the service was cordial, knowledgeable and helpful in answering all our questions. The ambiance was upscale yet comfortable with a red and black color scheme throughout. Since this is more of an upscale establishment, the prices do reflect the quality of food and interior. If you're expecting to grab a quick bite to eat, this place is not it. Their food takes time and care to prepare. read more
