I drive by this area pretty often & have been to many of the restaurants around here but have never tried Jinye Cafe before, or at least I thought I haven't. Turns out, my family has been getting their salted chicken & soy sauce chicken from here all along! We got half a salted chicken & half soy sauce chicken to go, plus extra ginger scallion oil. I LOVE GINGER SCALLION OIL! THIS over rice, chef's kiss. Simple but so darn good. Def a hole in the wall kind of spot, but don't knock it until you try it! I will be back to try their other menu items. Looks like they offer Hong Kong styled food like the baked chicken/ pork with cheese & curry or tomato sauce and wonton noodle soup. The salt & pepper chicken wings look absolutely delicious. read more

Do not sleep on this hole in the wall restaurant! If you are looking for comfort Chinese food, similar to a cha chaan teng or food that your grandma used to cook, this is the spot! Between my friend and I, we ordered three items. We started off strong with the salt and pepper chicken wings. They were perfectly fried, sprinkled with salt, and adorned with fresh jalapeños. Then we got the curry beef brisket with rice. The beef is so hearty and tender. The sauce sopped up every morsel of rice. And the star of the show was the baked pork chop rice with tomato sauce. This dish was so satisfying. It's a crispy pork chop over a bed of fried rice. Ladled on top is a blanket of tomato sauce and gooey cheese. If it is your first time eating at Jinye Cafe , please order the baked pork chop rice with tomato sauce. It is like a hug in a bowl. Jinye Cafe has three available tables. The waitresses are so sweet. We went on a Friday at 6PM and the tables were full and the takeout orders were non stop. Street parking available but busy during dinner time. read more

Just ate here and it was amazing. The food was seriously delicious and you can tell everything is made with care. The customer service was even better! Super friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring from the moment we walked in. The menu is super appealing with tons of options, and everything sounded so good it was hard to choose. The fried rice was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly, and the crispy pork chops were the highlight, crunchy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside. Definitely coming back soon! read more

Jinye Cafe - Baked Portuguese Pork chop on fried rice. - Chinese Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

I ordered the scrambled egg and beef rice plate to go and it came with soup! The dish was simple yet delicious . Egg+ beef drenched in sauce over rice. I even had extra sauce for another meal. Ambiance : little seating and the AC is broken read more

I brought their famous chicken on Saturday but extremely disappointed because the chicken is basically is fm overnight left over. Kind of odor smell. It cost me $40. I will never go to this restaurant again. Make sure u guy check before take home .. read more

Food was delicious! It reminded me of my mom and grandma's home cooking! The staff was attentive and welcoming.

This review is based on my takeout order so I didn't eat in just to clarify. The food is super good! I got one of the fried rice dishes and I couldn't stop eating it. My friend got the wonton noodle soup and I liked how they kept the noodles separate from the soup. The store itself was really small but getting our orders was super quick so maybe watch out for space if you're trying to eat in? read more

Jinye Cafe - FF. Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

Live relatively close to Hancock St, but hadn't tried Jinye Cafe yet. Would definitely come back! My partner and I ordered T8) sandwich w tomato and egg, E1) tapioca w taro sweet soup, and E16) pork chop w cheese and tomato sauce - TASTE: 4/5 - everything hit the spot. Though super simple, the sandwich was tasty. Tong sui is one of my favorite desserts, and theirs was definitely sweet. The pork chop was the star of the show though; all of the cheese and sweet tomato flavors combined well w the rice and pork. Sinful! It also came w soup as an appetizer, which was a nice surprise TEXTURE: 5/5 - the toast was just right, and you can't beat the combo of tapioca and taro. Again, the pork chop was on point w gooey cheese, fried pork, and a base of rice to pull it all together. Couldn't get over how well done it was lol PRICE: 5/5 - our total came out to $31, great value! SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - the sandwich options are definitely light, and the pork chop is a satisfying dinner serving in a large tray SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 5:30pm on a Wednesday and were the only party dining in, though plenty of folks came in and out to grab their takeout. Our food started coming out 15min later, and the staff was friendly ATMOSPHERE: 3/5 - a small, tight space w approx. five tables PARKING: 4/5 - Hancock St has plenty of two-hour free street spots, but can be hit or miss w availability. We got lucky w a spot directly in front of Jinye read more

Delicious food for a small local shop. Service was ok. But the food and honey lemon tea were very good

Overrated and overpriced and oversalted.... undersauced and, I thought, needs time to mature into their space.

Congee Tasty and fried fish Tasty. Friendly customer service. Small but delicious food. read more

Amazing Porkchop with cheese, tomato sauce and rice. Richly flavored sauce, crispy pork and large portion. I've had this dish at other restaurants and this one is by far my favorite. I can't wait to try other dishes from this restaurant. read more

VERY hit or miss with customer service and order accuracy, but their food is solid when they get it right. There aren't a ton of places in the Boston area that offer traditional HK cafe style food, so we were pleased to find Jinye. I'm a huge fan of their lemongrass chicken rice plate, while my husband is partial for the pork chop with cheese & tomato sauce rice plate. Their milk teas (both Hong Kong and regular) are watery/weak, so I would pass on that. They've messed up our orders on two occasions (one time they forgot a bag with half our order, and the second time they gave the wrong meal altogether). They seem to have issues with inventory management as they are constantly out of ingredients (how do you run out of soup and cheese all the time??). Despite those shortcomings, we find ourselves going back at least once a week, so that should speak volumes about what little they get right. read more

I can't believe I didn't discover Jinye before! I was craving authentic Cantonese food and given how high prices have gotten in Boston's Chinatown, I figured I would search for options in Quincy and found Jinye. Jinye dishes out amazing food for great value. I got the baked curry pork chop with cheese over rice, Hong Kong French toast, and tomato egg over rice for takeout. All their rice dishes come with a side of soup which had some pork ribs, carrot, and potato. I also found the prices here to also be 10-20% cheaper compared to Chinatown counterparts. The highlight is their baked curry pork chop with cheese over rice. Jinye probably has the best iteration of this dish that I've tried in the greater Boston area. It takes awhile to come out because it's made to order but it's sooo worth the wait. I can't wait to come back to try their tomato sauce version of this dish which I heard was also really good. The French Toast is crispy and filled with gooey peanut butter. The Tomato Egg over Rice dish was solid and feels like a nostalgic homemade dish. read more

This is a Hong Kong Style Cafe. It is not authentic but close enough because there is not much of this type of cafe around. Lots of menu selections. Suggestion to order take out because it is a very small place. Our order: Scallion Pancake, Hot & Sour soup, Shanghai Fried Noodle, Baked Pork Chop Rice with Tomato Sauce & Cheese and Baked Yellow Curry Pork Chop Rice. Scallion pancake was thin and crunchy but not too fluffy and didn't come with any sauce. My daughter liked it so no complaint. Hot and Sour soup was very good and good portion for the price. It has a kick but not too spicy that it burns. Thick consistency and good amount of veggies/tofu in the soup. Shanghai Fried Noodle's flavor was tasty. The noodle used was a thick udon so it was little chewy for me. For the baked rice dishes, they are fried pork chop over fried rice topped with sauce and cheese. Then it is baked to brown the cheese/sauce. It also came with a complimentary house soup loaded with veggies. They were delish and actually baked! I had this dish at other places and it is half baked with tasteless "not so fried" rice. This is a dish I will get again! Overall: I will definitely come back to try other menu items. There are too many items to try in one visit. I highly recommend the baked rice dish with either sauce and the hot and sour soup. read more

Ordered two things from this place, and below are bonus came with my food: 1. Tiny facial hair in my park chop over rice 2. Eyelashes on the chicken 3. More and more miscellaneous trashes in the daily soup I have never seen this much "things shouldn't belong in food" items in any restaurant. Bravo,Jinye! just bravo. Would recommended to anyone that wants scavenger hunt. read more

The place is small, but it is a real authentic Chinese food. Prices are reasonable. All the dishes are delicious. Especially their chicken dishes. And I really enjoyed the Hong Kong style milk tea. The staff is very friendly! read more

A little hot in the wall located in Wollaston ( Quincy ) area, this tiny place with 3 tables serves Hong Kong style foods feom Rice plates to Noodle soups, from street food appetizers to full size entrees. Menu is extensive and everything is fresh and cooked to order. Their empress chicken is a hot seller and tends to sell out on a daily basis. Portugese pork chop over rice and beef with black pepper sauce over fried noodles are just some of the many crowd pleaser. Itnis one of the few, if not the only, Hong Kong style cafe around Boston area. If you happen to be in the area, this is a must try. read more

Of note, it was harder to order takeout in English since it is an authentic HK cafe. She also hung up before telling me the cost and how long it would take (took ~45 min, longer than usual for take out). And for people who want to dine in, it seats around 10 people. I got two rice plates for take out- chicken chop with cheese and yellow curry (R21) with fried rice for +$1. It tasted great, more of a guilty pleasure food because the curry was creamy/heavy. And portions are also big (for me it was 2 meals). Will likely be back to try other items! read more

Jinye Cafe - Chicken chop with cheese & yellow curry - Chinese Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

-good portions and quick service -fair pricing and cheaper than most places that offer similar dishes -food was seasoned very well -fried chicken wings were marinated before frying and were juicy and flavorful (my new favorite place for salt and pepper wings!) -Beef chow fun was well seared and not too salty. Beef was well tenderized, fresh and good quality -Hong Kong tea was too watery. Food options are much better -Concubine chicken isn't dry like most places it's moist and flavorful -Baked pork over fried rice came out piping hot. The fried rice is phenomenal. Next time I will get it a full size fried rice portion. read more

Jinye Cafe - Beef and Eggs w fried rice - had tons of beef! A lot is hidden under. Salt and Pepper Pork chops are phenomenal. Worth the price and wait. - Chinese Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

Very good Hong Kong cha chaan teng with all the standard breakfast and lunch items! Egg sandwich with ham was fantastic, wonton noodle soup was good, too. Milk tea was perfect. Service is quick and the staff is nice. Cute and clean restaurant, but very small. Come here if you're craving Hong Kong food! read more

Not the best but nice additional for some Hong Kong cafe food in Quincy. Wonton noodle soup, the noodle and veggies was okay but the wonton was not. Baked rice with Portuguese curry was good but take does take more time to makes, required at least 25 minute wait time since it required to bake. The seafood congee was so so. The best I would say the sweet taro sago dessert, not sweet strong coconut flavor with sago and soft taro. read more

I came here for the first time and was very impressed with the quality and the amount of flavor to their dishes. Although the place is small, my cousins and I decided to dine in. My favorite dish by far was the salt and pepper chicken wings because there was just so much flavor and it was so fresh and hot. The Shanghai noodles were yummy as well. The lemongrass chicken was good but not my favorite. There were so many options on the menu. I will definitely be coming back to try other foods! read more

As someone born and raised in Hong Kong, if you are looking for a truly authentic 港式茶餐廳 (Hong Kong style tea restaurant), don't come here. However, the food is still decent and this is now the closest shadow to a 茶餐廳 in Boston since the closing of Yummy Cafe. What's a 茶餐廳 without some Hong Kong style french toast, or 西多士? Jinye Cafe's really disappoints, as this is far from the ones back in Hong Kong. 1/5 We have some wonton soup as well. They are pretty good. The wrapper for the wonton is pretty thin. The flavor's there. 4/5 Overall, 3 stars. Average but the closest thing you can get if you are craving some Hong Kong food. read more

Available for pickup during COVID only. This place has a lot of options on their menu , and out of everything I tried, nothing disappointed. The baked chicken/pork chop over rice is so good, with the right amount of flavor, sauce, and baked cheese. It takes slightly longer to wait for it, but worth ! read more

Great authentic Chinese food with a great menu and fast friendly service. My wife loves this place. It's small but great for take out.

Best Hong Kong hot milk tea I have so far because it provides a coffee kick to it. Food is good too I just try their tomato pork chop and it was delicious but if you can't take lactose, you can ask them to take out the cheeese. read more

Went here for the first time to get takeout for Hong Kong cafe style food. I'll definitely be back! Highlights were the baked tomato pork chop rice and the portuguese style curry chicken rice. A nice bonus was that the rice orders came with complimentary soup. The wontons are also good if you're a fan of shrimp. Can't really speak to the other dishes but I'll be back to try more. read more

This cafe actually have really decent food. Quite authentic, from salted fish cooked with eggplants , braised beef tendon, spicy pork chop. And the prices are reasonable. They do have tables to dine in. But not a large party though, so if you're live in the area or visiting definitely worth a try, promise you wouldn't be disappointed. read more

I just got food delivery paid 60 dollars and got cold soggy food and my drink was spilled out of the bag! I called to let them know and they hung up on me! Don't order delivery from this restaurant, and the staff hanging up the phone is the height of rudeness' read more

Small place but great eats ! I love their concubine chicken anything. They get too busy for lunch takeout so be prepare to wait for it. The wait is worth it. read more

I passed by this little joint so many times, never got an opportunity to try some food here. I was craving some hot and sour soup today, so ordered some take out here. It was delicious!! Pork chop sandwich, yellow curry with chicken and rice, and French toast were all amazing! I will definitely come back for some more. They have a big menu. read more

For 9.50 you would think u get some good food portions. It was dead when I arrive. I got beef and scramble eggs and the beef tasted like it has no hint of flavor. Too much rice and daily soup is just pork broth. Might use it to make some noodles. But I don't see this place lasting long. Owner should sell business. Never be in the food industry. Folks in there have no motivation. Rarely hints of egg too idk this place is not recommended. Hong kong tea is bland. Rather lose $14 to this place than eat here twice. I wanted to sit and eat there but they made it to go. Bad spot for cafe no wonder it's dead. read more

We are from Southern California, and SoCal have some of the best Chinese food around. When we happened to be looking for a place to eat in Quincy, we walks into this place. I gotta say it beats a lot of places in SoCal. Each dish has its own unique, authentic flavor. Everything was so good! read more

Came here for the first time for a late lunch on Labor Day. Not a real cha cha'an tang as others have mentioned. Ordered the wonton noodle soup, Shanghai Stir Fried Thick Noodle, and Curry Cup (fish balls, pork skin, and radish). Fast and friendly service. The dining area is quite small, for about eight people max. The wonton noodle soup came with lettuce instead of typical choi sum. The Shanghai noodle had lots of cabbage (some of the larger pieces were undercooked and hard). Four stars for the wonton noodle and Shanghai noodle. The curry was somewhat disappointing. It comes a huge bowl of yellow curry sauce for a few fish balls, pork skin and radishes. The curry sauce was very spicy but not flavorful. Won't be ordering this again but would come back to try other dishes. read more

Takes 1 hour to make two dishes. Food is decent, but the wait time is too long.

First timer with Jinye. Ordered the lemongrass chicken chop on rice, curry pork chop on rice and beef fried rice. Gotta say, I was quite pleased. Chicken dish was really good and had an awesome sauce. I'd snap a pic, but I left nothing of the dish to show. Remaining dishes were also tasty. Portions were certainly respectable. I'm confident I'll be visiting again. My new go-to place for Chinese. 4 stars for now. Must try more dishes before I rate higher. read more
