    Singapore Rice Noodles
    Sam O.

    Still one of the best options for Chinese on the far north side/Stone Oak area! We've tried nearly ALL the Chinese restaurants in this part of town, and T Jin's is the most consistent in value, flavor, and service. We tried some new-to-us dishes recently and generally found them to be very good. Orange Chicken was not overly battered, big chunks of white chicken meat, not too saucy and just a hint of spice. Real orange peel, too, which makes all the difference! We also ordered the Spicy Combination with beef, chicken, and shrimp. Carrots, peppers, bamboo in the dish provided a bit of veggie balance. Not our most favorite, but still very good. As per usual, we started with steamed dumplings and crab puffs; DH added a cup of egg drop soup- this place serves his favorite egg drop soup. Everything was delicious. I always ask for chili oil for that extra added kick! I do wish that the dishes labeled "spicy" were actually spicy. They really aren't spicy at all. Don't let the little pepper symbol deter you. Always clean, always prompt, always good!

    Crispy Beef Orange

    Haven't visited many other Chinese restaurants in SATX. T Jin's was ok. Not very authentic but definitely not the worst Chinese food I've had. Service was great and our server was very kind and attentive. We ordered way more than we should have lol. For appetizers we ordered: edamame, shrimp tempura, a wonton soup cup, and dumplings. For our main entrees we ordered shrimp lo mein, orange chicken and crispy beef which was literally the same "orange" sauce on both the chicken and beef. The noodles were ok, pretty plain; no veggies at all. Overall ok experience and great customer service + clean restaurant.

    I think mine was Hunan triple delight & my husband had beef with ?broccoli but it had green bell peppers in it.

    Food was very good. Mine said spicy but was not. Next time I will ask for extra spice. Reasonable prices and open on Monday. We got the shrimp fried egg rolls and they were delicious and all big shrimp inside. Service was very friendly and attentive. Clean restaurant. We will be back!

    Mongolian chicken

    Food is delicious and service is excellent! Took a lunch break while working and stopped by here. Their prices for the lunch special are very reasonable and they have a lot to choose from. The food came out almost immediately. Will eat here again.

    Sweet & Sour Chicken
    Celeste G.

    The crab cheese puffs were AMAZING! They had so much filling and the flavors were spot on! The sweet and sour chicken was cooked perfectly, no weird pieces of chicken, loved the crispiness on it! The sesame chicken was huge, the sauce on it was a compliment to the chicken instead of being overpowering! It was cooked perfectly and the chicken to breading ratio was amazing! It did come with white rice and fried rice, nothing to special but still was delicious! 9/10 would recommend!

    Cashew Chicken l

    T Jin's China Diner is a wonderful restaurant nestled in a small strip of businesses in the Stone Oak area. We don't live nearby but find ourselves in the area from time to time and this little place will be a go-to stop for us. In fact, we'll make a drive just to visit. The food is delicious and the service was wonderful. We visited on a week night and didn't expect them to be busy, but in short order during the evening they got increasingly busy. The service was so good that it seemed like they had it down to a science keeping everyone taken care of and quickly cleaning empty tables to keep clients coming in. On the night we busted we had egg drop soup, egg rolls, and cashew chicken. It was flavorful and hot, and beautifully served. The menu is extensive so there's plenty to choose from and plenty for us to try on future visits. Looking forward to stopping in again.

    killed the wonton soup, ordered pan fried pork dumplings general chicken w white rice. 10/10 would eat here again. service took empty plates and was quick to sit me down while being semi busy.

    Chicken Corn Soup

    We stayed in the Stone Oak area for dinner last night. We went to one of our favorites, @tjinchina281. Michael and team took care of us. Dad had Lemonade, and Hubby and I had Jasmine Tea. We had the Chicken Corn Soup to start. We shared the Cashew Chicken, House Special Tofu, and Orange Shrimp. Great flavors and tender meats! We're so glad that this restaurant survived the pandemic and continually have many patrons.

    This place isn't great, and its not awful. But it is consistent. The food always tastes hot and freshly cooked but the flavor for me lacks a bit. The service is good whether ordering out or dining in, my husband has stomach issues and their food never upsets his stomach so at least I know they are using quality ingredients. He would give them a five star, so my rating is purely on flavor, everything else there is fine. I ordered shrimp with lobster sauce and even though my shrimp were cleaned and deveined they still had that dirt taste, it was weird. My husband had the amazing chicken and he loves it, I would have been better off ordering that, it was pretty good. Nonetheless, like I said, for me it was about the flavor, everything else would be a 5 star.

It was coated with flour like fried chicken instead of corn starch which it should be Couldn't taste the black bean sauce although the sauce was strong Sweet and sour soup was full of good items but so much pepper it made me cough Soups are in tiny cups they call small bowls White rice is good and sticky Shrimp with lobster sauce is nothing like it should be, mostly corn and tasteless, I mean tasteless like water Not the usual recipe others serve. The beef rice noodles were like I would make from a reg pan at home without, again, taste. They need that wok taste but it's not there So disappointed, not cheap either , easily $18 a plate Place was clean and looked decent but what good is that if the food is lousy?

We noticed the decor had changed (yes, I said it had been many years) and it was quite nice! We were seated promptly and placed our drink order (tea came with lunch). We ordered Rangoon as a starter. The lunch specials came with soup and egg roll, and fried rice. DH ordered his litmus test dish for American style Chinese- General Tso chicken. The portion was generous. The sauce was tasty. The chicken pieces tasted like your average frozen nuggets tossed in sauce. It's that familiar "seasoning" to the chicken and coating- iykyk. Not bad at all, just not the best. He enjoyed his egg drop soup. I opted for Hunan Beef. The sauce was thicker than I prefer, with an almost gelatinous consistency. The hot and sour soup was nice, a little more sour than hot. We both thought the fried rice that came with lunch was a little bland. Maybe the entree version is better? Each special was under $10, and it's definitely a great value.

However, my most recent encounter has soured me completely, and I think I will never return. My favorite dish here was something that did not appear on the menu, Bo Tai Chanh salad. Even though it was not listed, they would whip it up at my request. It consists of beef cappaccio on an iceberg lettuce salad with Vietnamese vegetables and a fish sauce based dressing. Tonight they refused my order. What makes this refusal all the more frustrating is that Pho Bo Tai Chanh (the soup version) is listed on the menu and promoted as one of the favorite dishes. All that was needed, to meet my request, was to cut up half a head of lettuce and throw the non-liquid ingredients of the soup on top. Every restaurant should remember the customer is always right. Their only purpose is to meet their customers' requests to the best of their ability. I understand when a kitchen cannot meet requests with the ingredients or equipment they have. For example, I always call 24 hours ahead to order Peking Duck because the traditional methods require that amount of time to prepare the dish. Or I remember being refused a request to have my meat served rare when the restaurant had already cooked all its meat to medium rare using sous vide. I don't expect the kitchen to do the impossible. But every kitchen must be ready to meet special request whether health related like peanuts, shrimp, gluten, salt, carbohydrates, etc. or relate to tastes or ethics like vegetarian, vegans, seafood, etc. To fail one's customers is the first step to being one of the numerous restaurants to fail and become irrelevant. Any restaurant that refuses to meet reasonable requests fails the fundamental test for good service and does not deserve to be patronized. P.S. I end up going down the road to Yaya's Thai Restaurant (another local restaurant) to get something that met my tastes and preferences.
