New Jin Lin has been my go-to take out place around, but I'm sad to say my meal yesterday had some weird pork in it that made me sick! Will be sticking to vegetarian options if I order again. read more

**** Please note I have nothing against the people at the restaurant. They are nice people. It is something that I observed that is disturbing. I am not trying to be funny, I am being real. **** read more

I've enjoyed their food for 5+ years. I will forever be a customer! Always efficient with my order and have rarely if ever screwed anything up. read more

No complaints about the food, i love the orange chicken and cold sessame noodles! Have tried a variety of other things, usually very good (i'm picky.) My only complaint is i have left precise directions as to how to get to my door. I live in an apartment building and i'm further from the front door, i have access to a side door WHICH IS LABELED!! With out fail every single time i order, he goes to the front door and calls me yelling to come get my food which turns into me having to run around the building to find him. How hard is it to read "location directions?" read more

The General Tso's chicken and wonton soup were not good. Won't be ordering from here again.

Most underrated Chinese food in Montclaire proper. Highly recommend the Curry Chicken. Very hard workers that deliver good food and are nice despite a tough location. read more

I've been ordering from New Jin Lin for several years and they are usually reliable, quick delivery, but lately I've noticed some changes. Their Pork with Chinese Vegetables used to have lots of nice slices of pork but lately there is less pork and smaller, hacked slices. Same thing in their Pork Lo Mein... there used to be a good amount of pork slices and now pork is hard to find amidst the noodles. I hope this is just a temporary slip. read more

Ordrred the shrimp toast & General Tso's chicken for lunch. Shrimp toast looked golden but lacked crunch and flavor. General Tso's chicken was waaaay too sweet! Chicken seemed very processed, almost rubbery and there were two little broccoli florets swimming in the sugary sauce. Delivery was about 35 minutes during lunch (1:45 pm) & price was reasonable. Not great, not horrible. Just "meh" & too sugary. read more

I just ordered from here for the first time and we were super satisfied! Everything was very affordable for big portions, and on top of that, they gave us two sodas with our order at no charge. Their menu has a lot of variety, especially vegetarian options. The vegetable lo mein was yummy and the general tso's bean curd was unbelievable!!! I'm very happy. I will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

Seriously the best takeout Chinese food that we've had! We moved nearby about 5 years ago and have been pretty much weekly customers since. Freshest tasting veggies and great flavors every time. Thanks New Jin Lin for being delicious and consistent! read more

Ordered takeout on the weekend and delivery was fast. The food however was terrible. I was looking forward to the chef specialty sesame beef but it was awful. It looked like General Tsao's chicken (the sauce in particular) except the chicken was substituted with beef. Why cover the beef with flour and fry it for this dish? The beef strips are suppose to be sauteed like in beef with oyster sauce (which I haven't tried at this place and probably won't). I've had much better egg roll and hot and sour soup which I had also ordered. Vegetable fried rice was okay. read more

Ordered 5 items for just a little over $20, enough for two people. Everything was delicious and fresh. New favorite place...best I've found in the area. read more

The prices are amazing, the food is of good quality. The delivery guy is nice AND I can order online? Yeah my new default Chinese spot.

Just ordered their lunch special chicken and broccoli + white rice--don't order their lunch special by ANY means unless you're looking to eat 3 pieces of chicken!!!, LITERALLY! And 10 pieces of broccoli! Not worth it! read more

Really solidly good Chinese delivery. Loved that I could order through Yelp! They were great wit my allergies too! And I'm allergic to everything! Good food, priced well, nice delivery guy. A solid yes. read more

Food arrives in a timely fashion. Shrimp and broccoli tastes fresh and yummy. This is our go to Chinese place.

Best Chinese in Montclair...seafood taste fresh, order from here way too often, because of the fair prices. Friendly drivers too!

As a customer that frequented this restaurant for years without issue, I couldn't believe how obnoxious the delivery service was when I complained about my order. Needless to say, I will be taking my business elsewhere! read more

Like others have said, there are many places closer to my apartment but I come back to New Jin Lin every time. The food is great, ordering is easy, the employees are friendly and the delivery is fast. I find myself eating Chinese food a lot. =0) read more

I grew up spoiled by an awesome Chinese restaurant in my town. Nothing has really ever compared; until I discovered New Jin Lin. The food is fresh and absolutely delicious. They deliver food promptly and piping hot. I absolutely love their garlic chicken, spare ribs and dumplings. If I could give them more stars, I would. read more

Overall good Chinese food. It isn't the best but is far better than most in the area. Staff has been friendly and delivery has been quick most of the time. Just once or twice the food took a bit too long to arrive. A few things in the menu haven't been great but overall most things I've tried have been good. Can't complain. Give it a try read more

I wish there was a better Chinese restaurant in Montclair downtown, but it is what it is. Very very average americanized Chinese food. Second star for free soda with any lunch combo. read more

So here is the scoop about this place. Great food hands down was my go to spot, but let me tell you what happened... so I ordered about two weeks ago a quick go to good dinner place, food came on time it was hot. I ordered beef sticks, Sesame chicken and Chicken and Broccoli (or beef). The first 2 beef sticks were good, but as I continued to eat it got a bit fishy tasting. Now is you have ever had the teriyaki beef sticks they shouldn't be fishy... so I put them aside and stopped eating them planned to throw them out. Wasn't too disappointed because hey the first two were good... now on to my dish the sesame chicken. Opened it looked fresh and good. Took a bite and I don't know what the ... this was made with but the sauce was orange sugar water drizzled onto the chicken, 4 pieces of broccoli. Let's just say it was the worst Chinese food I've ever had, and I've tried a lot of places. So I called (this was placed through grubhub) and asked for them to refund me only for my meal, not the other 2 items. Waited 2 hours until the "boss" was in, and got news they would refund me the whole order. I only asked for the one dish but it was considerate of them to refund the whole meal, so another plus for good customer service. So fast forward two weeks to today.. I place my order on grubhub. 10, 20.. minutes go by. I get a call from grubhub saying my order has been cancelled, because they no longer deliver to my area. I said "that is interesting because that has been my go to, and I've ordered from them about 15+ times". So the lady said that she would add that to the notes. So being who I am I called the restaurant and I ask if they deliver to the **/** area. The guy one the phones says oh is this 123 calling? (My address) I say yeah it is, then he continues to say "oh the boss said we just no longer deliver to you, because of the issue last time".. so here I am with no words for what this business just told me. Because they messed up my dish, and I had that issue, they no longer deliver to my address?? What kind of service ?? What the what?? This is crazy, I was so amazed that they could say that to a long time loyal customer. So they no longer have my service and I am hoping this happens to no one else because I am still shocked that they could say that to someone. Please don't order from here try other places, shop around until you find friendly good food because service does count when it comes to eating somewhere! read more

I Give Jin Lin A Five Star They Do A Great Job In Servicing You. They Give You a lot For Your Money. They Are Not Expensive And Their Food Is Very Good. When I Call Up To Order They Are So Friendly And Kind I Order There 3 Times A Week Its A Great Place Thank You Jin Lin read more

Ordered chicken fried rice. It was flavorless & there was no chicken in it. I usually like this place. Very disappointed! I miss Sesame!

My food took over an hour to be delivered to my house and my sweet and sour chicken smelled like fish after I ate it

Ordered chicken w/ broccoli and vegetable lo mein, amazing sauce and food! I just moved to the new area and I've tried many places that were much closer and the food was awful. I'm so happy GrubHub recommended this place, I've found my new spot! Thank you for the great food and fast service! read more

Favorite chinese in Montclair! The chicken and broccoli is the best I've ever had! Love the online ordering system also.

I ate here about 4 hours ago. now I have diarrhea. as far as Chinese takeout goes, this one is pretty good.

I use to like this place when it was Hunan House. I would go for the hot and sour soup, orange beef... I ordered from their new site and it was horrible. The hot and sour was thin and flavorless, the hot and spicey beef dish tasted like some horrible concoction from a chinese resturant in the mid 60's. Very bad. read more

Nice people and sometimes edible Chinese cuisine. Too bad they don't understand basic English. If you want your order totally screwed up then this is the place for you! read more

Not going to lie. Some of the best take-out chinese food I've ever had. I always order the lunch special general tso's chicken. Delicious, flavorful, and doesn"t disappoint on quantity! read more

I was unimpressed. I expected something a little better considering they have a website you can order from. The dumpling were mushy and didn't even come with the real soy sauce that most places give you. The lo mein was good enough. The fried rice was not as flavorful as I would have liked but not bad. I don't feel overly compelled to order from them again. read more

Never again, we placed our order at 8:45, with a delivery time given of 9:10. 9:10 comes around and we get a call that the delivery time has changed to 9:30 because it's so busy. That's fine. 10 comes around and we call and they say "because you live so far away it takes longer." Why deliver to a place if you think it's too far away? 10:15 finally our order arrives, I sign the receipt and the delivery driver has the nerve to comment on how far he's driven and asks where his cash tip is. I've ordered from here before and never have I ever had any problems like this. As good as the food is, I can promise I will never order from here again. read more

I don't post reviews unless I think it's helpful to a business or to other potential patrons. My husband and I ordered food tonight (it was the first time ordering from this restaurant). Unfortunately, it was absolutely terrible. The wonton soup (which is such a basic) had NO flavor. It was the worst I've ever had. We ordered other things and they were just as bad. We threw most of it away. And the "free soda" didn't arrive either, so that was a scam. All-in-all this is a place we will never order from again. read more
