Jin Jiang Restaurant

Humble family restaurant serving comfort food. We did not know that this restaurant was closing early but the owners were nice enough to wait till we finish our food. Delicious and authentic Chinese cooking! Tastes like home. ?

I really loved their food. I always get good customer service here. The place is always clean and the staff members are always helpful. Will come back again.

Friendly atmosphere and delicious food

Came here with a native Shanghai person --Don't leave home without one. I don't want to give away the secrets & make this place too popular, because it's decently priced, & portions are good. Even gave us some off menu desserts!

One of the best xlb place here in SoCal

Friendly staff and excellent food. I've been coming here for a good 10 years now. Whenever I visit Alhambra I always make a point to stop by here. Their Shanghai style rice cakes are the best as well as their dumplings and XLB!

I went here with my son for lunch. We ordered the pan fried pork dumplings and they are the best I have had anywhere. We also had the million layer onion cake, fried rice and salt and black pepper pork chop. All delicious. Their steamed pork dumplings are also wonderful. I have been coming here for years and it is always great. Don't be fooled by the outside of the restaurant which doesn't look like much.

dumpling and sour spicy soup both are real good

Small hidden gem 💎 I've been coming here since I was young and it has still been the same - amazing! Best xiao long baos in LA 😍 Yes, even better than Din Tai Fung.

One of those GREAT unknown places for dumplings that are BETTER then the touted places in the food section of the LA TIMES!

Really cheap (in the bad sense) and loaded with MSG. Tea served in styrofoam cups. Service was nice though.

Better than Tin Tai Fun.

Fabulous Shanghai dumplings. Other items on their menu is not bad, but totally distracted by their Shanghai dumplings! The dough has just the right thickness wrapped around a flavorful juicy ball of pork. Absolutely fabulous. Place is a little divvy, but is clean. The staff are nice and friendly. The use of styrofoam is very annoying.

Review went from 3 1/2 stars to 1. J & J really turned me off when I saw an unlit cigarette hanging off the chef's mouth as he was stir frying some dish. I can't even imagine if the cigarette was lit or possible falling into the pan...gross! Luckily, I saw this at the end of my meal. I'm sure the chef wasn't pulling this stunt when the health inspector went through; they displayed an A outside. Service: Good (3 1/2 star), English limited, CASH ONLY Menu: English/Chinese, includes photos for their top dishes The food itself was decent, here's a list on my immediate take: -Pan-Fried Steam Bun-2 stars The Good-Crunch The Bad -Too much Dough, lack of flavor The Ugly - Overflow of meat gunk of tip -Shanghai Rice Cake-3 1/2 stars Plenty of flavor, oily, love the Rice Cake texture versus the crunchy cabbage -Shanghai Steamed Dumplings-3 stars Standard -Crab Style Shanghai Steamed Dumplings-4 stars Good filling amount, Good Balance, Tender -Veggies-5 stars All of the veggie dishes were fresh and great, definitely my favorite part of the meal -8 Flavor Rice-2 stars Deflated presentation, Oily, Unbalance (90% Rice, 5% Red Bean, 5% coloring) -Deep Fried Bun-3 stars Can't really go wrong with this dish; offer a side of condense milk Overall, J&J uses a lot of oil for their stir-fried dishes that brings the buttery taste out. Stick with simple dishes or better yet, go somewhere else in case there's a cigarette hiding in your dish. Luckily, I came out UN-poisoned after this place. Although I love their veggies and crab style steamed dumplings, I will not return to J & J.

Best crab xiao long baos ever :)
