This included egg roll, soup, entree and rice. I had the hot and sour soup to start. It was full of ingredients, and was indeed hot and slightly sour. It would have been nice to have some crispy win ton strips to add, but I very much liked the soup. They bring sweet and sour sauce out with your plate for the egg roll. The egg roll was flavorful, but not as crispy as I would like. I opted for steamed rice and had the orange chicken. The chicken was saucy but nice size chunks. Good bits of orange peel in the dish. Not overly spicy. It was a good portion for the lunch menu. I would eat here again for sure.

Eating soup in a bowl looks very unsightly and you don't want to eat it.

XinXin is a local mom and pop Asian restaurant that bills itself as "asian fusion cuisine.". The…read moreambiance is pleasant and clean, but also homey and informal. I noticed one of the cooks was using a dining room table to prepare vegetables while watching a video on her phone. The lady who took my order at the front counter also played the role of server. The counter was cluttered. When I walked in, no one acknowledged me for a few minutes. The lady was talking to someone - whether a friend or client I could not tell. When he left, she finally turned to me and asked if I wanted take-out or dine in. I can't say she was either welcoming nor friendly, but once I stated my intentions were to dine in she led me to a table and handed me the menu. Xin Xin does not have a buffet. But that ensures that everything is made fresh as you order it. They offer dine in, take out, and have a drive through window. Their menu is pretty extensive with Vietnamese, Japanese, and Chinese entrees.. some of which I have never heard and would need coaching to pronounce. I wanted something more familiar, and ordered the Triple Delight lunch special. The lunch special came with my choice of soup, and either white or fried rice. I ordered the hot and sour soup and fried rice. The lunch special portion was generous but I was hungry and finished it all. I can't say the food quality stood out as extra special, but it was very good and I enjoyed it. The Triple Delight was supposed to have beef, chicken, and shrimp, but I did not detect any beef. There was plenty of the chicken and shrimp. The menu lists beverages as canned soft drinks, a couple of juices like coconut or lychee, and hot or iced tea. I asked the server if the iced tea was fresh brewed and she assured me it was. When she brought out a bottle of Gold Peak sweet iced tea I wondered if she knew enough English to understand my question and what "fresh brewed" means... The Gold Peak was decent, but not the same as fresh brewed. My experience with the service and ambience was lacking. The drink was also a little disappointing. The food, however was very good and the prices were reasonable. Considering the competition, they need to up their game if they want my business.

I would normally ask for a to-go plate that I would take as my lunch to work so I rarely had dine in. But the last time I did it was was such a kick in the face, food wasn't fresh, the "sushi" was terrible and to top it off the place was filthy! Trash on the floor, food was thrown everywhere and the booths were falling apart kinda liked stacked dominos. I'm glad there was no one behind or in front of us or my son would of knocked someone out when he leaned back on the booth. The owners should smile more, especially the male. It's hard for him to engage with you other than when he's taking your money. Our young waiter was a bit slow that last time I went. I probably won't be coming back, ever.

Well apparently they really did switch management (or I just hadn't been in a really long time), as well as cooks. I ordered my typical Sesame Chicken but didn't get what I wanted. Usually, as with any other Chinese place, the chicken is breaded and coated with a delicious sweet sauce. This "sesame chicken" was not breaded, barely had any sauce (which was hardly sweet), and worst of all came in weird strips/chunks of dark meat. I know places don't usually serve all-white meat or anything, but this chicken just wasn't good. The service was great, and the lady that helped me on my take-out order was very, very nice, so I couldn't stand to tell her that they need to tell their new chef to revisit his cookbook.
