Jin Jiang Chinese Restaurant in Lewisham

Ordered sliced ​​pork belly with garlic sauce and sea spicy eggplant. Sliced ​​pork belly: Poor knife skills. Inconsistent thickness with pork slices skin attached together; fat and lean meat separated Bad garlic sauce. The Chinese name of garlic sauce is ‘garlic mud’ but the garlic here is chopped not blended. Tastes sweet and just slightly salty. Need to add light soy sauce myself to balance the flavor Eggplant: Tastes too sour and sweet. Amount of vinegar overwhelms the saltiness and ‘sea’ flavor which meant to be produced by dried salty fish or any seafood flavor. Poor knife skills. Green onion not chopped well The only authentic thing in this meal is my plain rice. Good communication and service. Added garlic white meat and fish-flavored eggplant Garlic white meat: Inferior sword skills. The thickness of the white meat varies, the skin between the white meat is not cut properly, and the fat and lean meat are separated. The minced garlic turns into granulated garlic. Too sweet and not too salty. You need to add some light soy sauce yourself to neutralize the sweetness. Fish flavored eggplant: Too sweet and sour. Add too much vinegar and sugar to mask the fishy and salty taste. In addition, the technique of chopping onions needs to be improved. White rice is fine Service quality is average

shocking quality and portionfor £20.80 worth of mixed roasted pork belly and chicken!!! portion is extremely little and the pork belly was overcooked and dry. Never again !

The winter soup is lovely. Great if your feeling under the weather.

Lovely meal. Generous portions. Would go again

Food was pretty good, I got the salt and pepper prawns which didn’t taste fresh and were overly salty. The Dan Dan noodles were lovely as well as the spicy dumplings. I was given a fork and a spoon for some reason (I’m assuming they thought I couldn’t use chopsticks) I did request some but they never came. Service isn’t amazing, but it isn’t bad.

The hot pot is very nice! Only £27 per person for all buffet.

My god what a joke this place is. Beef vermicelli without beef. Rice was dry and with very few ingredients.... dumplings are acceptable...but overall I would never get this place again not even for free. These are the spicy beef vermicelli for 12.5£...where is the beef ??????

Made me fall in love with Chinese food.

Fantastic meal served by super friendly and helpful staff. Thanks for a lovely evening and some great money saving tips!!

#### Ambiance and Cleanliness: This restaurant stands out for its cleanliness, which was evident from the moment we walked in. The spacious interior was well-maintained, adding to a pleasant dining experience. However, we visited at 4:00 PM on a Sunday, a typically quiet time, making it hard to gauge the usual atmosphere due to the emptiness of the large space. #### Food and Portions: The portions were generous and the food itself was delightful. Each dish was prepared with evident care, and the flavors were impressive. The quality of the food alone is a strong reason to consider returning. #### Service: Service was a bit slow, which was surprising since we were the only diners present. To be fair, the staff were also managing take-away and Deliveroo orders, which seemed to impact their efficiency. Despite the slower service, the staff were quite friendly, albeit a bit distant. #### Overall Experience: While the emptiness of the restaurant made it difficult to judge the usual atmosphere, and the service was slower than expected, the quality of the food makes me inclined to return. However, I am unsure about the take-away experience based on this visit. #### Verdict: Would I go back? Yes, for the in-restaurant dining experience, the lovely food makes it worth it. However, I would be cautious about ordering take-away given the service delays observed.

Lovely food, good service, friendly staff Big portion of food! Taste yummy! 😋 Convenient location near sightseeing spot in Greenwich. Value for money! Highly recommend it! 🙂

Please don't save costs on the plastic cup. It started leaking when it was first delivered. When I poked the straw, it cracked and the drink spilled. This is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing.

This place was an absolute delight and the person serving us had exceptional vibes (only laughing a tiny bit when we ordered something too spicy!) What a treat to stumble upon after an opening at APT around the corner - we promised we’d come back but none of us live anywhere nearby so we probably won’t get the opportunity :( Was on the ground floor and seemed pretty step free (although I’ll be honest I was a little distracted so there may have been a small step, and I didn’t see an accessible toilet)

Everything was amazing, from the food to the staff and the location is also perfect. The food is super tasty and the portions are abundant. My GF is Chinese and she said the food is the same as China. Will come back 100%

The staff is homophobic just ordered a takeaway and not to be know I speak mandarin .so watch out ebay else they been talking about u

Clean and nice Chinese restaurant with lots of choices, nice food and nice staff. Will go there again. Thanks

First time here & will certainly come back. Sichuan dishes are amazing and service was great. Thank you.

Just what we needed on a cold wet February Sunday night!

SO BAD DON’T EVEN BOTHER GOING. They was so rude to my family and the food was absolutely horrible and it made me feel very sick and I only had a little bite of it and it was disgusting. The staff was picking her nose over nose over the counter for about 5 minutes that put us off the food. Took them 30 minutes to set up our table just to our plates and cutlery out. AVOID AVOID AVOID. We had to end up leaving before we had a chance to eat our food!!!!!!!

Used to be really good. Constantly missing items and being told "they will maybe replace it next time" an absolute disgrace.

Really tasty, there is also a karaoke room downstairs if it’s your kind of thing!

Good Chinese oriental foods in Greenwich.

Organised a group of 25 for dinner at JinJiang and was very pleased with everything! The food was delicious, service was on point, staff was friendly and accommodating, would highly recommend! Thank you for a lovely dinner! 😄

Food are a bit salty but still delicious. Service was great. Full of chinese student at the restaurant on a Sunday evening.

omg here right now have karaoke can singing can dance ,can drinking have a big private room, very fun,the music the song all is well done!I will come for Christmas party,

Yummy. Upper end of the price spectrum. Worth it? Hell yeah. 2023 edit: Visited with my friends. The in-person experience was more than expected, having known this place mostly for the delivery food. Yes, I recommend!! Especially the spicy aromatic dry chicken (Ma La) is worth the visit.

Excellent Chinese, my brother always gets this when I visit and I can't recommend it enough! A++++++

The food is delicious and the staff are very friendly! Highly recommend :)

This place is lovely! We weren't going to visit because of the low TripAdvisor review but im glad we looked at the Google review for this restaurant instead. 3.5 stars out of 5 is does not reflect how fabulous the staff and food is here. They were so friendly, chatty, they turned on moving goldfish lights to entertain my 3 year old son AND the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely gorgeous! I always visit any Sichuan restaurants I come across, as I am obsessed with sichuan style Gong Bao. This hit the spot with really satisfying flavours - spicy & super tasty. I will be making a detour to visit again the next time I am in London :) Very quick service, and lovely refreshing decor too, although I just had take out as I was travelling alone.

Ruoka oli hyvää. Isot annokset. Maut raikkaita. Musiikki tosin melko kovalla että hankala seurustella metelissä toisten kanssa. Laskua saatiin odottaa tosi pitkään ja lopulta sitä menimme kysymään tiskiltä.

Amazing food, friendly staff, Esta took great care of us :)

Passed a wonderful evening here with excellent atmosphere and delicious authentic food. I had never tasted the dishes I had here. Our host Esther was very attentive. Recommended!

This is truly a gem of a restaurant in the Deptford area, and I’ve visited this place 5-6 times already. The dishes are so authentic and delicious. These are some of my favourite dishes: the grilled spicy fish is divine, I love the spicy aubergine, kung pao chicken, green beans with minced pork, and salmon fish head tofu soup! The service is also amazing! Esther is usually the one serving us and she’s so friendly and funny, and the lady boss is also really sweet and nice. I highly recommend Jinjiang :)

delicious and authentic food at an affordable price!! staff is very warm and welcoming so overall, food and service is 10/10. highly recommend :)

It is difficult to find a place to eat when you have consumption restrictions. The staff was very kind and made excellent recommendations and accommodations towards my food allergies and sensitivity. Make sure you come here for some great food and atmosphere! This is definitely better than many places back across the pond. My permanent go-to for food! 🤩😍🤩😋🍽🥢

Unbelievably kind and attentive service from our waitress Esther. She went above and beyond. Food was delicious. They seated and tended to our party of 13 like it was nothing! Highly recommend. ❤️

Really fantastic dining experience. They specialise in Sichuan cuisine and do so very well, the fish in chilli oil was incredibly flavorful, the Dan Dan noodles were great. The staff were very friendly and happy to chat if you wanted, also they gave good recommendations. Would recommend to anyone looking for proper Sichuan food!

The service was so attentive. The staff couldn’t do enough to help. The food is really fresh and of such good quality. We will definitely be making this one of our local regulars.

So glad to see the restaurant opened again after a refurb! Amazing food and attentive service throughout our meal. A hidden gem and already looking forward to going back!

I honestly don’t normally like eating out but stopped in after work with colleagues and the client and wow was I Amazed First the woman & gentlemen who severed us was polite friendly and all round made us feel welcome which you hardly get anywhere nowadays 2. The food was phenomenal come out pipping hot fresh and was delicious worth every penny 3 the projector in side that shows an amazing display of some amazing koi is eye catching Would recommend to anyone with 100% confidence you’ll enjoy it as much as I did

Maybe the best restaurant in London. Lee yuan is the best. I love this place. If I get married the feast will be here. Delicious

This is my favourite restaurant - the food is amazing! I order regularly and I’ve never been disappointed with the food. I constantly recommend this place to friends. So glad they are back. Brilliant food and reasonably priced.

The delish Chinese food ever in town , If you looking for the best place to eat a proper authentic food cuisine

Life affirming. Great new decor, exceptional service and the food is a one way ticket to flavour town. Highly recommend

You know what, I used to think of my life as relatively standard. I always settled for 2nd best expecting someone else to be better. But since I went to JinJiang, everything changed. I began to believe in what’s possible. Today was my 7th visit, and I now know that I deserve the best. And what better way to experience excellence than JinJiang. Thank you for all you’ve given me, forever and a day, Bork

Love this place! The food has always been so good, we were really happy to see they had reopened with a refurb. The new decor is very calm and elegant. It makes for a really lovely night out.

Absolutely delicious food with so much choice on the menu. Loved the smashed cucumber, Beijing dumplings, prawn toast, and much more. Wonderful, friendly owners. Definitely recommend!

So amazing after the new refurb, the food has always been amazing but so great for large groups. Service staff are incredibly friendly over all these years. If you’re looking for a good meal out in Deptford that’s authentic, doesn’t get better than JinJiang

Come hungry and leave with a full belly and a satisfied heart. We love to order a range of dishes to share and take delight in the different textures and flavours on offer at JinJiang. Our favourites are spicy DanDan noodles, creamy smacked cucumber, punchy prawns and beautiful black fungus. They’ve recently renovated the inside so now the ambience is as good as the food. You must come and eat here.

Delicious food, super-friendly staff & a nice relaxed atmosphere.

Delicious food, superior Chinese at reasonable prices. Lovely, recently refurbished restaurant. Lovely waitress let us choose the music too! Will be back.

Waitress was really friendly and helpful.. They have home made bubble tea 🧋 restaurant looked refurbished and really clean. I can 100% recommend this restaurant! Better food and prices than in China town ( they are not nice in china town and food is not that good)

First time we went into this Chinese restaurant there black bean sauce and noddles was absolutely lovely not cheap but worth every penny 👌

Such tasty food - not the standard gluggy Chinese takeaway stereotype. We had smashed cucumber (so delicious), salt& pepper squid (light & flavourful), braised pork with preserved vegetables (rich, deep sauce) and mapo tofu (silky & hot but not too hot). Friendly service & such an interesting range of dishes on the menu. A really wonderful meal. Will definitely be back.

Great place for authentic Chinese food. Very friendly staff. Looks good following the full refurbishment. Highly recommended

This place has had a nice makeover. But the food and service remains the same: excellent. Highly recommended!

Very nice Pleasant environment and good food. I will eat there again and again.

From the moment I stepped into 'Jin Jiang,' the warm and inviting ambiance, new interior design, and extensive selection of traditional Chinese dishes like their famous Grilled fish and Sichuan chicken, along with their commitment to cleanliness, made for a delightful and memorable dining experience—highly recommended! My favorite in Deptford.

Wrong address. That restaurant is in Deptford

点了水煮牛肉和毛血旺，让老板加辣之后超级好吃，终于在伦敦吃到辣到满意的菜了！分量也很大，店里的人态度也很好。下次来尝尝辣鸡子和水煮鱼！原有的店面在装修，现在临时的店也是可以堂食的，和老板娘说堂食就会支一个桌子出来，就可以吃啦！

Really good Chinese food, big portions and good price in London.

I totally agree with the review of Charles Campbell a day ago about the dish Gong Bao Chicken with Peanut: it is VERY spicy and really inedible for the British palate. The dish really is made up of dried red chillis, and green peppercorns (see picture of just some of the chillis being picked out). It would have been tasty if it really had 1 chilli symbol, but this dish is clearly at least 4 chillis and come with a health warning. The other dish was beef brisket with tomato, which was very nice.

This was our first order from Jin Jiang - and we will definitely order from them again. The quality was good ...and tasty. The special chow mein was really good. But beware! - the Gong Bao Chicken, while very tasty, is VERY spicy! The portion is literally half chilli. The "One Chilli" symbol should be Three. I agree with other reviews - probably tge best Chinese in South London.

I do feel as though the standard of food has gone downhill here. It used to be excellent but everything tasted and smelled like it was cooked in old oil.

我吃过最难吃的干煸四季豆和耗油西兰花。能把中餐做成这个样子也是不容易

Not much to look at from the outside but popped in and had an amazingly delicious twice cooked pork and rice. Fresh, spicy, different, tasty. Totally hit the spot.

Water boiled beef in spicy chilli oil was totally amazing.

Had the sea spicy pork and aubergine for lunch. Both far too sweet and went on the bin unfortunately.

Food was great and the service was friendly, but the kitchen was very slow and the restaurant was packed with deliveroo riders. Might be better at quieter times

My go-to place. 10/10, reliable and delicious.

Best Chinese restaurant in the area! We often order from here, never disappointed. The prices are good, especially if you eat in.

Had a fantastic meal here. Mapo tofu was good, but my favourite dishes were the spicy dumplings and the Winter melon and spare rib soup. Friendly service, however was cash only when I visited

Great sichuan food and attentive, friendly staff! Slightly pricey but worth the cost, will come again.

The best sichuan food place I have tried in London. Recommend seabass with Pickles !!

Authentic Chinese cuisine! If there is any possible please dine in, the staff and owner are very friendly. Highly recommended water boiled beef with chili oil and dry fried fine beans

very tasty chinese food, warm & friendly staff! highly recommend if you are in the area and want authentic chinese food

I don't think I have ever ordered a Chinese and craved seasoning. Very disappointing

This is our 3rd takeaway meal from JinJang and again its been exceptional, would highly recommend this Chinese restaurant for top quality food. We'll be ordering again soon.

Great service and great food. What's not to like? Dishes seemed very traditional with a very nice chili crispy chicken.

This is a gem. Authentic, rich menu. Get your palate to spin. But refrain if you have a penchant for the dull Chinese cuisine developed for the European palate in the 60s (spring rolls and chow mein).

Amazing experience. Waitress was so nice and friendly and answered any question about our meal perfectly. Highly recommend the salt and pepper shredded chicken, and sweet and sour chicken dish was also amazing. Absolutely going again!!!

Really like the food here, some dishes are hit and miss but it’s been our go to for a Chinese takeout a few times now, the spicy dumplings are delicious! However, all of the food comes in lots of plastic Tupperware and after realising we were getting stacked up with a lot of unnecessary plastic, we unfortunately will have to find a new go to.

Awesome variety of food, and great quality also.

Very bad service. Waited for 50 mins for the food to serve in the restaurant. And wrong bill in the end. I don't even know how they get any good reviews. Avoid avoid avoid ...

Spicy Crab is extremely spicy and overcooked. The skin already sticked to the shells and you won’t even enjoy having it, once you peeled it, it taste old and somehow hard. The dumplings taste clean and the special lunch set menu are not recommended if you want to experiment. The drinks are too expensive, we should have known before ordering. 😅 Overall, we were disappointed. We visited on a Saturday lunchtime and we are freezing inside, you can’t tell the difference from outside.

Very tasty Sichuan food, extensive authentic menu. Kung Pai Chicken and Red Date Tea particularly delicious. Friendly service. Great for eating in or takeaway.

The food is incredibly fresh while still retaining all the amazing flavours. Seafood dishes and beef in black bean sauce were delicious!

Being Chinese, wouldn't eat it again even if you pay me. Small portions. Expensive. Weird flavours. Low quality seafood.

Fantastic restaurant with friendly staff and excellent service. The aubergines, crispy chicken and cumin lamb are highlights... along with the spicy dumplings! I look forward to going there again and would say that eat in is a great experience!

Excellent, best Sichuan food I've had.

Truly delicious Szechuan food. Every dish we've tried so far has been incredible, but by far the stand outs have been the sea spicy aubergine with pork and better yet, the spicy dumplings (pictured). The dumplings are a unique dish that I've not encountered else where, and the staff inform me it's their own recipe. I found myself hoarding the sauce in my rice bowl through fear it might get taken away. 100% must try.

I was working locally in the area for a whole month. I couldn't fault any of the dishes they served me. i loved it so much, I went there THREE TIMES A WEEK - Every week! The staff were/are very polite and very engaging with all there customers, and I saw many regulars that were also coming in, as they called them by there names. Would highly recommend it, and I will be back there again next time I'm in the area. Spot on 10/10.

the service is great and friendly, they are very tolerant of kids, and the food is delicious and much better range than your standard sweet and sour pork and lemon chicken. I particularly love the vegatable based dishes (not necessarily vegatarian) also best hot and sour soup I've had in London

Had frog 🐸 legs in dry-wok!! It was amazing. The boss and waitresess are very friendly, nice and fun. We had great time there.

So polite x great customer service and the food was really good x

Everything about this restaurant was awful in everything... I ordered from deliveroo and I got my food almost 2 hours later AND, most importantly, I got a food intoxication from it... and I usually never suffer of these things...

This isn't your average Chinese takeaway. The food is spicy and although there are some familiar dishes, the majority of the menu is dedicated to specialty dishes from northern china. Expect dried and fresh chilies along with peppercorns that while not overwhelming certainly pack a punch. For those who want something a bit milder, there are cooler dishes. My only criticism is that for vegetarian, and vegan dinners, the menu makes no distinction as to what has meat or not. The food does cost more than your generic takeaway, but simply put, you're getting what you pay for here. Step out of your comfort zone and experience something very special.

I think it’s quite average. Menu seems quite good but the actual dishes are a bit underwhelming, portions are a bit small as well

Had a late dinner here and the service was phenomenal, the food was great and we were well looked after by the staff
