It was ok - good not great. Low key little spot hidden in a strip mall. We had the pan fried rice cakes and Sate beef noodle soup. The rice cakes were soggy, and I didn't even want to eat more than a bite and just picked a bit at the fried egg bits. The soup was good, we got the egg noodles which were very thin and nice and springy. The soup had a bit of sour lemongrass flavor which was nice, tho the beef was a tad tough. I was thinking it was a Chinese place but it seems mostly Vietnamese w/ a little Chinese & Korean fusion. Very casual cafe w/ self serve water tho they will bring you out a free cup of hot tea which I always like, no beer tho :( Also fyi google says they are temporarily closed but they were open as of late Feb 2026, just call first to confirm. read more

This place is very nostalgic for me. It's been around for a long time and I've been a long time customer. I'm happy to say that everything still tastes exactly the same as day 1. I always get the beef and kimchi hot pot rice and the stir fried rice cakes. Last time I had it was about a year ago and it tasted the same, delicious as always. Check this place out but make sure they are open! read more

Good Chinese food. It's closed on Mondays and closed early before dinner time. Menu in Chinese, English and Vietnamese. It's located inside the small Asian strip mall with shared parking. There are dishes that aren't served at other local Chinese restaurants. read more

I've been going to Jin Jin Deli for maybe close to 20 years now and I love that not much has changed. The food tastes the exact same as the first time I've had it. JJD serves mostly Chinese casual basic comfort foods and many of the dishes aren't commonly found elsewhere in town. The standout on the menu for practically everyone here is the Pan Fried Rice Cake that is stir fried with egg and preserved radish in a special soy dipping sauce that is fantastic. It's technically an appetizer but there's been plenty of times I just come here just for that dish and nothing else. It's just that damn good. While most of the menu is Chinese there are some Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese influences here in terms of ingredients or menu items. My absolute favorite dish here is a noodle soup called the Spicy Sate Noodle Soup where you can add meatballs as an option. This dish is also available soupless that's fantastic. It's got an earthy spicy to it that's like maybe an Asian chipotle but isn't really spicy unless you're completely a wuss when it comes to spice. It's probably a 2/5 at your standard Thai restaurant in terms of heat. But it's packed with flavor and has a nice comforting and rich broth that is perfect for the colder days in Portland. For as long as I remember (maybe 18 years) I'd put this in the cheap eat category in my rotation of places to go. They've always been priced really low compared to other casual Asian noodle soup or lunch spots while never compromising on flavor or ingredients. Portions were always very good. Nowadays I'd say they are no longer a cheap eat but priced fairly amongst alternative options with many items in the $15 range. However now that prices have crept up slightly I have noticed a much more generous portion of food to the point where I'm stuffing myself to finish....so the value is still there despite the price increase. The menu is in English, Chinese, and Vietnamese and they also have a picture menu which could help you navigate ordering if it's your first time. Today I had something I've never had before and it's pretty solid, a Kimchee with beef fry tossed egg noodle dish. It was solid...it was nothing mind blowing but it is perfectly satisfying and unique. I typically stick to the noodle dishes both dry and soup, but in addition to the rice cake, I'd say a lot of people really enjoy their fried rices. I'm counting right now and there's 11 versions of them however it's something I rarely order since I love their noodle dishes so much. Their beef chow fun is one of the most slept on menu items here and in Portland. It's amongst the top tier in Portland with a good "wok hei" or dragons breath char on the noodles. If you are a fan of XLBs Beef Chow Fun, then JJD might scratch the itch for you although it is a half tier below, but a much more generous portion. It's fantastic for takeaway or as leftovers as well. Honestly most of the menu here is great for leftovers or takeaway aside from the rice cake which might lose its crispiness. This is a perfect spot for just a very casual quick no frills meal that's quick and comforting and satisfying. You'll find things that are pretty uncommon elsewhere in town but at the same time nothing transcendent that will give you a foodgasm or make you rave about. Jin Jin Deli is like my longtime childhood best friend that's loyal and dependable. read more

This spot was a place I grew up eating at every weekend. Not only does this place provide delicious tastes but a warm family friendly atmosphere. The kimchi fried rice is always a to-go-to, and I also love their pan-fried rice cakes, and noodles. Everything is simple but really comforting and consistent in the best ways. The owner is incredibly kind, which makes the experience even better. It's one of those spots that feels very familiar every time you go back. read more

Love coming here for a meal alone or with friends. I find this place to be like a home cooked meal as it is a small family wonder business. The food isn't exactly perfect, but it's certainly comforting and a nice warm meal at great prices. Upon arrival, they have menus above the table you're seated at, and bring a cup of hot tea. If you'd like water, they have a station where you're able to get it yourself. I often opt for the same dishes when I visit; the pan fried rice cakes 9/10, kimchi stone pot with beef 7.5/10, or the kimchi fried rice 9/10. All dishes taste great, especially when craving a warm filling meal. Service is very minimal, but the family working are very kind people. read more

Glad I came back and I will return. A wide-ranging menu, , including rice bowls, a good variety of noodles. soups and other things. Small and busy place, the two working ladies in constant motion while staying pleasant, food came pretty quickly. And it was delicious. I had the sate rice bowl with seafood, in the hot stone bowl with some crusties on the bottom. the egg on top sunnyside up but well fried. fun to find some wide noodles mixed in for texture. Strong pepper heat level. Good amount of seafood, w/ some quality, bigger than a quarter, shrimp. Most tasty. Place small and no frills, Abby and I the only non-Asian customers. read more

A solid spot with authentic food and great flavors. I especially love their yogurt soda, the fried rice flour egg dish, and the beef sautéed noodles -- all were delicious and full of flavor. Definitely worth trying multiple dishes here! The restaurant is small, family-owned, and has a welcoming, friendly vibe. Service is quick, and the overall experience feels warm and genuine. A great place to stop when you're in town. read more

So this place is consistently on PDX eater for the Hu Tieu Sate so I've been meaning to try it. I'll start with it's a good noodle soup dish. Definitely not like the Vietnamese Hu Tieu dish I'm used to as it has a rich peanut flavor. I asked the owner about it and it's a Chinese sate flavor which is cool. To me it was like a cross between a Thai curry and Taiwanese cold noodles. I'll have to let it marinate in my subconscious some... read more

I'm stingy with 5-Stars, this earns more like 4.5, but heck, let's round up. Winner, Winner on taste and price, i.e., value. The first item is usually the most popular and that applies here: the pan fried rice cakes were excellent? The salted fish and chicken fried rice is one of the best versions I've tried. For certain, it's tops in Portland. The complementary tea was above average, while the iced limeade was oh so refreshing. Service was friendly and fast. Prices are more than fair. Ambiance is so-so as it seems like the seating layout could be improved to allow for more customers. Parking can be tough during peak hours. Lastly, they close way too early for an Asian restaurant, especially a popular tone. read more

Jin Jin Deli - Pan fried rice cakes, one of their most popular items. - Chinese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We came in for dinner on 11/09/2024 and noted a posted sign at the counter for No Contactless Payment. We did not ask for specific since we paid cash. It's a small family owned. Menu is posted on the wall above each table, and they also bring it to the table for you. Hot tea is complementary. Service is alright. I have been here a few times by myself and with friends; beside brought our order to the table, they didn't check in on us at all after that. It offers various comfort Chinese, Cambodian, and Vietnamese dishes, which rarely find elsewhere. Overall food quality is average. The liver comes with Hu Tieu Trieu Chau is often overcooked and tiny portion. Most of their soup are on the sweeter side for taste. I only come here whenever I crave Bon Chien/Pan Fried Rice Cake; it's not that great since they never make it crunchy and crispy enough for me even though I always ask for it. It is my comfort street food whenever I miss Vietnam. read more

Jin Jin Deli - Spicy Sate Noodle Soup - Chinese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Wow! It's been a while since I've died here. Why? Well, between COVID, parking and just busy life in general. Today, we decided to fight other drivers and won ourselves a parking spot! Arriving at 1pm on a Saturday, boy, they were a bit busy! We took one of the two remaining tables and quickly scanned the wall menus. Prices have gone up, but what hasn't? Well, I can tell you that the hot water in a paper cup is still the same. Quick friendly service is the same. Not to mention, they still wear a mask, thank you! Food: ordered the sate beef clay pot $13 and kimchi fried rice with chicken $12. After minutes of ordering, my streamy hot food arrives. Decent portions and still yummy, delicious as ever. Saucy rice and full of flavor once mixed up, a little spicy. Yes, I'm still talking about my clay pot. Is there scorched rice inside? Some, not a lot, but enough to taste it without hurting my teeth. One thing to note: they no longer have unlimited pickled carrots and radish for grabs. They are portioned out in 2oz individual cups and you need to ask for them. Cash or card. No Tap-to-pay. Ice water is self served. To-go boxes are near the front. No additional services will be provided, that's just the service model. Don't need to buss your own table, but you need to go up and pay when ready. Parking is tight, very small as they share the same lot with multiple businesses. No RSVP, there will be a wait if their 10 tables are full. Enjoy! read more

I enjoyed a great lunch with a friend at Jin Jin Deli. As other Yelpers have noted, there are 10 tables so you may need to wait to dine. My friend and I got lucky and got seated right away. The shopping center has a limited amount of parking. We got lucky with the parking as well. We got spring rolls, kimchi fried rice clay pot with beef, and the special spicy dry tossed noodle with egg noodles. The food was ready quickly. The spring rolls were tasty. The fried rice was fantastic. I loved the crispy rice at the bottom of the pot and it was so flavorful. The noodles came with some sauce to pour over. They were delicious and had a good amount of meat in them. They weren't very spicy but that was okay. Overall, I would highly recommend visiting this restaurant and I could see it being a great take out spot as well. read more

After going to this place for years, Jin Jin has definitely become a reliable, comfort hole-in-the-wall restaurant between my friends and I. Offering a variety of Asian fusion dishes for a really affordable price, I love going here when I just want a cozy place to get food. I'm not sure about the current dine-in situation because the last time I went here was a while ago, but when I did go, they only had limited seating. Definitely not as much seating as pre-COVID but you could still dine-in if you wanted to! The service is really sweet and pretty fast and always reliable. I love that they have Korean, Chinese, Thai, Japanese ,and Vietnamese food so you can choose whichever you want based on your mood. And, the appetizers are amazing too. A great place for a rainy day or when you want some warm comfort food. :) read more

Family-owned, around for years with consistent quality. Interior has been recently remodeled. Low maintenance service with self-serve water. Bummer when they are closed on Sundays, the occasional random day, and for the entire month they are gone on vacation. The pan-fried rice cake and the beef sate dishes are solid. My beef sate dishes of choice are the rice pot with extra crispiness and teriyaki sauce or spicy sate beef egg noodle soup. read more

Tasty meals in a small, busy, obviously popular restaurant. When you walk in you see a sign by the door that says the wait for a table will be thirty to forty-five minutes. Jin Jin is worth the wait. Lunched with Dan and fully agree with his assessment. The beef sate hot pot is ample, satisfying, and delicious. Nicely spiced, very flavorful. An ideal meal for what was at the time a somewhat cold and rainy day. Ordering isn't easy since Jin Jin seems to have two menus -- one taped to the wall and another handed to you as you sit down. Part of the restaurant's charm. read more

I had a major craving for kimchi fried rice and found out it was taken off of the menu of my usual go to place for it. After asking around for kimchi fried rice, my friends recommended Jin Jin Deli. Boy they did not disappoint! It's a little spot inside the food center on 82nd that's easily missed. Before trying it, I would pass by it without thinking twice about it. After trying it, I can see why it's some people's go to place. I usually get the pan fried rice cakes. It comes with fried scrambled eggs and pickled radish on top. The sauce accompanying it, is both sweet and salty. This is a great dish to share. The house special kim chi fried rice comes with a little of everything. Spam, shrimp, bbq pork, chicken, a sunny side egg, everything! The beef chow fun is quite tasty. It has a distinct smokey flavor from the pan that you can't replicate at home. The beef is fresh and thinly sliced. I brought my mom here and she's a tough one to please. At first she was weary, but after trying everything she was fairly pleased. She recommends everything we got with lots of sriracha. Everyone there is very friendly. Food there is relatively cheap. Definitely getting a good deal for what you're paying for. read more

My usually go to dishes are the kimchi fried rice and the beef sate noodles/rice noodles soup. I can't believe this place has been in business for almost 20 years or so. Am so glad their food are still good and customer service is always great. They used to make mooncakes during the full moon festival. Come check out the sate noodles soup if you're around the SE Portland area. read more

I love home cooked meals, and Jin Jin's deli provides that little slice of home that hits the spot after a long day. My two favorite items to order from here are their House Special Noodle Soup, and their Salty Fish and Chicken fried rice. For fried rice, I want to clarify that I never order fried rice from other restaurants, because it is something that I can easily make at home. However, the salty fish fish that is added to the fried rice in this dish is something that is not easily accessible in many grocery stores. It is definitely an acquired taste, and if not done correctly, can be a salt overload on the tastebuds. Their fried rice also does not feel as greasy as it can often get at many restaurants. Instead, it is a wonderful balance of the salty fish and the plain rice. The soup is also a must have. Made with flat rice noodles, and with a lot of seafood, you get a good amount of food for the price. I love the rice noodles because unlike other noodles, they do not absorb water as much as other noodles do, and can maintain their integrity for the most part. The variety of seafood and fish balls also added plenty of flavor, and the broth was warm and delicious. If you're looking for a delicious home cooked meal, this is definitely the place to try! read more

I think the locals love to rave about this place, since many of them probably grew up coming here for cheap food. Imo, it wasn't that cheap, since a bowl of noodles is easily $10.

Jin Jin Deli - 01.05.19 menu - Chinese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Overall: An Asian restaurant that has rightfully earned its place within the southeast community through comforting food at a reasonable price. Parking: They are located inside of an extremely busy and packed plaza with very limited parking. Normally, I would rate an establishment lower because of their parking but it's not their fault as it is more so on the drivers. The complex has tried to make some efforts in improving the parking lot by making it a one way but many don't pay attention. It's gotten so bad that people are parking at the entrance where it's not even a parking spot. Location: This is a prime spot and located in what I would personally say is in the heart of the Jade District since Portland Community College is next door. Food: There's one thing that you can say about Jin Jin Deli - they are consistent. Unlike other places, the taste hasn't changed much at all which is surprising. I would truly call this my comfort food. My go to dish is usually the kimchi fried rice, something about having a sunny side egg on top makes it complete. Service: Always dependable - fast and friendly. There are limited amount of tables, so if you have a large group make sure to plan accordingly. read more

Jin Jin Deli - Kimchi fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This restaurant offers a wide assortment of Asian cuisines, but I would classify it as mostly Vietnamese. I tried the Special noodle soup, which had a mixture of seafood (fish, shrimp) and meat with your choice of egg or rice noodles. The wife rice noodles were fresh--not from dried. The broth was clear and had a nice clean flavor. It reminded me of a dish at Rose VL with the romaine and fried shallots. They bring you hot tea in disposable cups and water and pickled carrots (!) are self-serve. The carrots are a real bonus! The warm soup hit the spot on a cold day. Service is friendly. If your party can't agree on one type of food, it's like the Bahbu Bhat of East Asian cuisine! read more

First time here. Its a nice quaint place. We got here at about 10:15am on a saturday and it wasn't busy. By the time we left at 11am they had processed a couple of catering orders and other patrons had come and gone. There is a water station for water with little cups. I had to refill a couple of times. The food came out quickly and it was fresh tasting. I feel like the food was on the bland side but still delicious. We ordered rice cakes as an appetizer and we each ordered a hot pot thingy. Beef for her and pork and shrimp for me. The total was $24 without tip. I might come here again if I were in the area. But there's so many other places to try in this small shopping mall area. I give it 4 stars because the staff was very friendly, the restaurant was clean and they were quick. read more
