Take-out order on 11/9/23: Kung Pao Chicken with Peanuts $16.95 + Steamed White Rice $3.00 +tax $1.24 = $21.19. A bit more than I usually pay for Chinese food, but it was good so on 12/30/23, I returned to their website to confirm the same prices for the same food items on their current online "Holiday Menu". However, when I got to the restaaurant to order in person, an Asian-American guy with bleach blond hair told me the order would come to $26. He claimed the prices went up 25% in the past 7 weeks, contradicting their own current published online menu. It seems many restaurants weren't content with the existential threat of the pandemic; they now risk their business through price gouging/incompetence/poor service/added fees and other self-defeating measures. Thanks for your prompt reply to my review. Three points in response to that reply: 1) If you are the owner, you should see that your Holiday Menu lists KungPao Chicken with Peanuts as $16.95, not $15.50 as you claim in your reply. 2)If Kung Pao Shrimp is an option, why is it not listed on your menu anywhere with its own price? (I looked under the headings of Seafood and everywhere else, not finding it.) 3) Most germaine here is that on 11/9/23, I was charged $16.95 for Kung Pao Shrimp (it WAS shrimp, not chicken), so apparently I was undercharged at that time without realizing it. I'm at least gratified to learn that the $5 extra cost was for the food itself, not a "kitchen appreciation fee", a "delivery fee" for something not delivered, etc. I only suggest your menu should be explicit about the cost of Kung Pao Shrimp. Self-Correction: Upon further reflection, I may be mistaken about my 11/9/23 take out order. I now think I wanted to order Kung pao Shrimp with Peanuts, only saw Kung Pao Chicken with Peanuts and ordered that instead, which was quite good. So I apologize for my part in the misunderstanding. However, It would have been helpful if the person tasked yesterday with walk-in take out ordering was familiar enough with Jin's menu to recognize from my quoted price that I had ordered and received Kung Pao Chicken last month. Yhen he would have explained that the shrimp version--not listed on the menu--costs more for the reason you mention. As a consequence, I would not have been led to think that the dish I ordered then had gone up in price 25% in 7 weeks. His response was: "Yes, it did (increase in price). I'm sorry." This also reassures Jin's that I was not undercharged for my order last month.

Called and placed my order at Jin’s, wanted to try a new restaurant. As soon as I walked in, my food came out. The quality was phenomenal, hot items were perfect temperature. Sushi was really refreshing. Overall food was incredible. I’d say the only thing that I had an issue with was the card machine. It seems there machine doesn’t work well with orders over $60 so I needed to make two transactions. Not a big deal I get it. Would find it more efficient if that wasn’t the case though. But like any restaurant they have their pros and cons. As far as I could tell that was the only con. Everything was great. The host/ front desk associate was so patient, very cooperative and kind. Jin’s is represented with good hands. Looking forward to sitting down there. Shout out to the: - General Gao’s chicken (lunch special-great amount) - Any of their sushi Great place for lunch and a fast takeout.

Excellent food and equally good service. We ordered the hotpot with potatoes and asked to have some extra veggies added. Our server gave her honest opinion regarding which veggies would be better left out and what worked with the potatoes. The hotpot was delicious. The veggie dumplings and the sushi was also very good. My favorite was the hot and sour soup. It was delicious, very tasty and comforting. I would definitely recommend this place!

I ordered takeout from here through DoorDash. There is a mix of Chinese and Japanese. I’d say Jin’s has some of the better sushi that I’ve had in the greater Boston area with a higher fish to rice ratio. The hot dishes were very good.

The service and atmosphere of this place is excellent. I would recommend the lamb spicy pot, mongolian beef, and string beans. As with duck, it's always a hit or miss, and personally I thought the duck was a miss. That being said all the other dishes I mentioned are absolutely delicious!

If you’re looking for a solid, tried-and-true Chinese and Japanese spot, you have to check out Jin’s. Jin’s is a modern and upscale establishment that offers a massive menu filled with Chinese and Japanese Food. The menu is massive, so be sure to take time to soak it all in. If you love Chinese food, they have you covered. You’ll find a huge selection of starters and dim sum. They have a large selection of soups- such as Wonton, Hot and Sour, Miso, and more! They do have salads on their menu as well! For the main course, they have a massive selection of Chinese favorites. You’ll find classics like beef and broccoli and happy family. They have multiple preparations of dishes made with shrimp, beef, and/or chicken. There truly is something for everyone. The portion size is LARGE. You can easily split an entree. Otherwise, the rest makes solid leftovers! Be aware the entrees DO NOT come with rice if you order delivery. If you are leaning more towards Japanese, you won’t be disappointed! You’ll find a solid selection of starters such as edamame, shrimp and vegetable tempura, spring rolls, gyoza, and more! Jin’s has a solid selection of fresh sushi. You’ll find a wide selection of fresh sashimi and nigiri. If you like maki rolls, they’ve got something for you! They offer everything from a basic California roll to an exquisite $20+ maki roll. They offer multiple sushi combos, sushi plates, and samplers. If you plan to dine in with multiple people, they do have a “boat” of sushi with sashimi and other assorted sushi. We stopped into Jin’s on a late Sunday afternoon before the dinner rush. The atmosphere is modern, relaxing, and peaceful. You can dine in the main dining room, or you can park yourself at the sushi bar if you’re coming solo. We started with an order of the Wonton Soup. The soup came out piping hot and the aroma of the broth was incredible! The wontons were incredible as well. They were the perfect size. Next, we decided to order some steamed edamame with lime and the “Beijing Ravioli”. The edamame were steamed and salted perfectly. I strongly suggest a generous squeeze of lime over the top! The Beijing Ravioli is some of the best I have had in a long time. I would compare them to a traditional pork “potsticker”. They were pan-fried to perfection, not too greasy. The dipping sauce served with it hits just right! After the Beijing Ravioli and the Steamed Edamame, we decided to order the Seared Ahi and the “Snow Mountain Maki”. They both were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The Seared Ahi tuna was seared perfectly and served in a mustard sauce. The portion size was phenomenal for the price! The “Snow Mountain Maki” is a shrimp tempura roll topped with king crab and mayonnaise. I’d highly suggest Jin’s if you’re a fan of Chinese and Japanese cuisine. The sushi is phenomenal and reasonably priced for the portion size and quality of ingredients. I’d recommend dining in if you can. The service is incredibly attentive and the food does come out QUICK. If you like to eat at a slower pace like I do, just stagger your orders appropriately. They do offer delivery in-house and via UberEats/DoorDash. I noticed they do a TON of delivery and takeout orders. Everything is always packed incredibly well and all the condiments and accoutrements are in the bag. They always get it right! My only complaint would be the dessert menu. I found it to be very disappointing. I would suggest they offer mochi or something more fit to the cuisine. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian Section on Menu.

I ordered from the Brookline location rather than the Wellesley location by accident. The manager at the Brookline location was unbelievably unapologetic in the fact the she refused to give me back all or even some of my money for an order I could not pick up. It was my mistake, but I was charged double for my order between the two locations. Yes, their food is good, but definitely not worth the expensive or lack of customer service. I honestly has such a horrible experience with the manager I will no longer be supporting their business. Make sure you order from the correct location or you are at a complete loss!
