    The best General Tso's Chicken north of Charlotte
    Kenny C.

    Hands down the best General Tso around this area. Coming from NY I've looked far and wide, even willing to drive 30+ minutes for that sweet, crispy, tender General Tso Chicken we all know and love. Lucky for me Jin Jin is right here in Huntersville. Also the woman who works the counter (owner?) is super nice and always welcoming and friendly. Love the food, love the staff, easy 5 stars for Jin Jin.

    First time at this gem and it was amazing. Fast and friendly service and the food was outstanding. I also love that they've been around for 17 years! Love supporting local! Definitely recommend trying this place out again and again.

    I'm as Caucasian as they come but, even I know this is not any type of mein. Lo or chow.
    Jonathan J.

    Tasted fine, pretty good and reasonable prices but three starts because my order was wrong. I ordered chicken lo mein from their website, rang up as chicken chow mein and received pork fried riced with a scoop of chop suey. There was no lo or chow in it. The egg roll and no-crab rangoons were okay. Still not a bad place for lunch.

    Best Chinese take-out in the Charlotte area! Their food is delicious and the owners/staff are so kind and friendly. I sat and watched them share their own food with customers after being asked what they were eating. Great food, great vibe!

    Beef and broccoli add garlic and ginger

    This is my favorite go to Chinese. They even take my request to add garlic and ginger to my stir fry's. Egg rolls are basic

    Jin Jin is my #1 go to for Chinese food in the area! Over a year ago, I saw great reviews for Jin Jin and had to try them out...they did not disappoint! I'm typically a creature of habit, so I normally get the same things. But with all 4-6 items that I get (mix and match), they are always on point! Jin Jin is located in Huntersville, close to many other establishments such as Publix, Woodie's Auto, Wells Fargo, etc. They have a great pandemic setup (cannot go into the restaurant), with a kiosk/window for pickups and ordering. Whether you call in or order at the window, the staff is great, friendly and always gets the order right. Try them out and you will not be disappointed with service or taste!

    Chicken broccoli, Sesame Chicken, fried rice, egg roll

    Sesame chicken, chicken & broccoli, and steamed dumplings were amazing! Staff/owners were super nice when we went to pick it up too. Great place!

    Small 43. Shrimp Lo Mein - Small
    Malika E.

    I ordered delivery through door dash maybe 20 minutes prior to them closing. The food is hit or miss. We got one dinner plate, two egg rolls, and a small shrimp lo mein. The sesame chicken was great but our pork fried rice tasted burnt. Definitely was disgusting. The lo mein was dry but it wasn't bad. The best part were the egg rolls. They do not offer dine in at the moment. Either delivery or order at the window. The small lo mein is extremely small for the price but I'm from the south and our small containers are larger.

    I didn't realize how hard it is to find an egg roll without pork around my side of town but thankfully after a few calls I found Jin Jin and crossed my fingers as I attempted to satisfy this craving. They're currently set up for window only orders during the pandemic. The menu is pretty extensive and is very similar to the chinese spots we have back in VA. I ordered 2 shrimp egg rolls and a veggie fried rice(broccoli, onions, carrots, mushrooms) and thankfully the rolls hit the spot and the rice would have been great but there was lots of grease at the bottom of the container. I actually returned the following week for more shrimp egg rolls, they were really good. The reviews are pretty mixed so I'm not ready to try anything else at the moment.

    I have never done a review like this before. I'm writing the first half of the review before I eat the food. I ordered General Tso's Chicken with white rice and a quart of Wonton Soup. I love Chinese food but don't eat it much because there aren't many great options in the area. Jin Jin used to be a good option, but their blinds being crooked for years turned me off. On the other hand, it's impeccably clean inside, and I have a broken blind in my house (not viewable from street), so I can't judge. The last time ate Jin Jin was on my son's birthday (4/21). That was Sesame Chicken with white rice, Lo-Mein, and Wonton Soup. I wasn't impressed that day, but I had birthday cake on my mind. Will continue this review at home after eating. Update: General Tso's Chicken: Very Good Wonton Soup: Pretty Good White Rice: It's white rice Noodles: Some were stale Service: Friendly Blinds: Crooked A generous 4.

    Paid extra for "all white meat" and instead i got "all breading" Why is it to much to ask? I just want actual meat with my General Chicken.. Egg rolls were good. Walk-up window very nice COVID touch.

    The fried rice is absolutely delicious! It was full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and tasted fresh…read moreand homemade. I especially loved the beef steak -- it was juicy, tender, and seasoned really well. The combination of the steak with the fried rice was amazing. The pastries that came with the meal were also a wonderful surprise: warm, soft, and very tasty. Everything was served beautifully, and the portion size was generous. The atmosphere and service made the experience even better. I would definitely come back again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal!

    I hadn't eaten here for about a decade but I was in the area so gave it a shot…read more At first, I wasn't going to give it a shot because there is a beat-up printer paper on the door--usually not a good sign. I went back to my car and looked up reviews before driving away. Most of the reviews were good. At that moment, I made a decision: "We're going in!" Even though 'we' is just me. Don't judge; I'm sure you do the same from time to time: consciously or subconsciously. I ordered a Quart of Wonton Soup (very exciting) and Roast Pork Lo Mein (pretty cool). The wait was 10-15 minutes and I paid ahead of time. It was $16 and change but the woman behind the counter stared with great anticipation if i would leave a tip. If I could go back, I wouldn't. For what? They're already marking up prices and this part was strange. Not a fan. Fortunately, the food was good. There were only five wontons (quart usually has 6-8) but it was very good!) The Roast Pork Lo Mein was also strong. It actually had too much Roast Pork for me. At this location, I might just get Chicken Lo Mein next time. But I have been seeing more TikToks with chickens on farms and they're pretty chill so maybe just Lo Mein. I would eat from here again. Hope that helped!

    Definitely a hidden gem in Huntersville. I had driven past numerous times and never heard anything…read moreabout them good or bad. I stopped in and got Tofu Pad Thai takeout, 5/5 spicy. It was phenomenal. Flavorful, plenty of large tofu chunks, courteous staff, and beautiful decor. Would highly recommend.

    I went in with high expectations for this place, but unfortunately, it was a big letdown…read more Food - 1/5 The food felt very Americanized, like it relied heavily on pre-packaged or bottled sauces rather than fresh flavors. It lacked soul and that authentic Thai touch. The house noodles were pale and bland, with shrimp that added little to no flavor. The Bangkok chicken was overly sweet and tasted like it came straight from a bottle. The fish with chili was also strange--several dishes had lettuce mixed in, which felt out of place and didn't work with the flavors. Overall, it's hard to describe the taste, but it reminded me of a slightly better version of P.F. Chang's rather than real Thai cuisine and it's not even the same cuisine. That's the best thing I can compare it to. Service - 4/5 The staff was friendly, and my pickup order was quick and efficient. One downside was that I wasn't asked about spice level when ordering. I didn't even know they used a 1-5 scale until I overheard another customer's order, which was disappointing. Overall I wouldn't return. I'd rather drive an extra 10-15 minutes for a more authentic Thai meal with real depth, culture, and flavor. For 75$ I hardly feel it was worth it.
