My artist friend whisked me away to Chinatown in search of something she says will definitely be found there and this unassuming corner store was our first destination. Turns out when looking for tassels and chachkis, Grant Avenue is the street to stroll. At Jing Ying, she found these ornamental tassels with opaque beads that will be part of her art. There's calendars, Bruce Lee posters and all kinds of stuff here. We met a nice lady who helped us without pushing us to buy anything. Prices are fairly comparable with other shops in the area. We've kept looking everywhere afterwards, but this place turned out to be our best find! read more

If you're looking for horse stuffed animals, I found a spot. I picked up two of the $7 small yellow-huffed horses today. The value was great because the horsey fell within my budget. Also, the woman working was very accommodating and showed me all the horses she has. I'm so happy with my purchases in celebration of Year of the Fire Horse! Gung Hay Fat Choy! read more

Very disappointed with the customer service and the quality of the products purchased. We bought a jade ring and necklace in Chinatown, and both items were poorly made and not as described. The jade quality was substandard, and the craftsmanship did not match the price we paid. When we raised concerns, the customer service was dismissive and unhelpful, offering no resolution. Overall, this was a frustrating experience. I would not recommend this shop to anyone looking for genuine jade or respectful customer service. read more

This review is solely for the 5 minutes Big Bro, Cuzzo+wifey and I spent here. Big Bro is in the market for a mahjong set (to bring home to SIL as she requested.) We stopped at a few places already but all of them priced their items like they didn't wanna sell 'em. Either that or they thought we were gonna fall into the tourist trap - like we didn't know what their value is. We'd almost given up, "Let's just go to our usual store in Los Angeles' Chinatown when we get back..." But I was kinda hoping to get one from this city just to say we did. We literally walked past this store already, but for some bizarre reason, curiosity turned me back. Everyone else followed. I immediately asked staff if they had what we were looking for. "Yes, we do!" She showed us a few varieties of what they had and found some within our price point. Curiosity kicked in once more and asked if they could drop the price a bit lower: THEY DID. It was a perfect five minute stop. Friendly service, good selection and at the price we love. They are now on my radar for... well. Whatever, really... I vow to make a stop (and most likely make a purchase) next time I come through again! read more

Cute little shop with interesting stuff. Didn't buy anything this time, but would go back.

Wendy - Thank you for making my first visit here unforgettable. Count on me coming back for more. Me and my mom are satisfied with our purchase. Lots of options are available once you're inside including customization. Customer service is top notch. Everyone made sure that me and my mom are going out the door satisfied. If I can rate this store more than 5 stars I would! read more

The selection here is amazing and the staff is extremely friendly. Nice place to pick up precious stones or a souvenir.

Jing Ying Gift Shop is one of the best places when it comes to jewelry and souvenirs. My parents like Chinatown's best gift shop. Plus, they find it easy to communicate with the owner and others working here. They use to come here and buy necklaces and bracelets. Before lunchtime, my mom and I came to Jing Ying to buy a jade bracelet to replace my tiger's eye bead bracelet. What's interesting for the one we bought is the jade, which heal a wearer's energy. My mom bought hers, smaller beads and more comfortable. No further details on our purchases. If I were to come here myself, I can buy some souvenirs. But since I'm currently living in SF, there's never a need. Perhaps a Tiger Balm is one of the best purchase for a pain reliever. How about a singing bowl, or a Bagua mirror? Those are unforgettable items as well. Best customer service in Jing Ying. read more

Beautiful collection of dresses! This place has the most gorgeous collection of dresses in delicate fabric and a variety of colors!

This large, bright Chinatown shop had a nice neighborly (not touristy) feel, and they really pack a lot of stone sculptures, necklaces, and other jewelry in there. There were lovely things for a wide variety of budgets. I saw carved jade pendants for $1,000 and bought a carved ametrine lotus bead for $4. I strung my bead on a brown cord that I also bought there ($2) and I made an inexpensive, instant necklace. My two other favorites were a rose quartz lotus (sense a theme?) stand for stone spheres, and a big, heavy, ornate lotus ring carved from one piece of stone. They also sell statuary, porcelain/ceramics, and metalwork. A lot of the restaurants and jewelry/mineral stores in the Chinatown neighborhood feature incredibly pushy staff, but the folks at Jing Ying were laid back. If I'm in that part of SF again, I will stop by again. read more

This is my go to place for jade in the Bay Area but they also have all kinds of other jewelry as well as other items. I've spent a considerable amount of time visiting all of the surrounding jade Jewlers, so trust me when I say I've already done the work for you. If you are looking for a broad range of selection, unique pieces, quality, real jade (not the fake/injected/dyed/chemically treated stuff), go here. Sure they have various levels of quality and price points so be sure to let them know the level of quality you are looking for. In terms of price, as the saying goes "you get what you pay for". A quality jade will be more expensive than a cheap/fake jade. Don't get fooled by the bright green jades at other jewlers (even the high end ones) because the majority of what's being sold in Chinatown is injected with color/dyed/chemically treated to remove imperfections. The workers here will be happy to educate you on jade, just ask. Everyone at this business has always been nice and helpful. It's nice that they are personable and remembered me and my family members. They make me feel like I want to keep coming back! read more

They have lots of crystal bracelets as well as feng shui items. Spent over $100 for a rose quartz, malachite and red coral bracelet for my daughter. Buzy, the one who manages the shop was friendly and helpful. I am just dismayed that after a week, my daughter's bracelet already faded when it accidentally got wet while she was washing her hands - I think they use dyes to color the stones/crystal for that bracelet (I took a photo). Really disappointing! read more

Do you know Amethyst has the power to heal and transmutes all forms of negativity? oOOoo... And Citrine is known as the wealth stone that attracts wealth and joy?! ohHHhh! YEP! Lately I'm into Feng Shui. And for some reason, surprisingly, it is quite difficult to find a place in the Bay that has lots of Feng Shui crystals to choose from. And I found Jing Ying Gift Shop.... LOADS and LOADS of stones.... oHHhhh I was in heaven. The owner is extremely nice. She answers all my questions and is very patient with me. No pressure sales neither, a big plus! She gave me great discounts on the items I had my eyes on. Funny, I was overjoy to spent more than $100 on stones. Superstitious or not, I felt GREAT after I feng shui the $hit outta my house! And I wasn't the only person who think so! ahhah! read more

What a great shop! Could have been there for hours because there is so much to see. Lately me and my older daughter have been into natural stones and they had a great amount and to my joy the custom make bracelets and necklaces. This is a big deal to me since I have a small wrist and most all pre-made braclets just fall off! The lady was kind and patient and helped me look at lots before making a moonstone and aquamarine bead braclets for me. I am already planning my next trip back! read more

A great place to shop besides the concessions during the 2013 lunar new year. Really good.

All the stuff here is real--compare their jade to the hundreds of "buy 3 for $5" places here in SF and you'll see. Also, they will resize anything to your liking--extending or shortening bracelets and necklaces, resizing rings (can make bigger but not smaller). Prices a little steep for Chinatown but cheap compared to American stores, especially when it comes to custom made pieces (which they will gladly do). Make sure you haggle for a discount! They mostly speak good English but better if you speak Chinese. Can get very busy so be prepared to wait an hour for custom made pieces. read more

Honest business owners. Friendly services, reasonable prices for different variety of gift products.

I paid for a necklace and bracelet at Jing Ying Gift Shop and then got busy with another item that caught my eye. My whole attention was focused on the next item I was purchasing. So I forgot about the necklace and bracelet and left the store without taking them with me. I realized when I got home that I did not have the necklace and bracelet and called the store. They said they were not responsible for something I lost in the store and had not seen the necklace and bracelet after I left the store. They insisted they had given it to me, but they had not. I was very disappointed. I had paid for something that I never got. read more
