Ordered delivery. The bag was not packaged securely, and the entire containers of moo shu and sesame chicken spilled out into the bag onto EVERYTHING. A small piece of cardboard between the plastic containers and rice containers would have helped stabilize it.
1 of 2 white rices were missing.
The sesame chicken container was skimpy—barely half full for $15. As if I had ordered a small.
The moo shu was good and their pancakes were decent which is hard to find in the city.
Disappointed overall…. I was hoping it would have been my new go-to Chinese spot.

Just swung by Jin Asian Cafe on Belmont in Lakeview, easy 5 stars 🇨🇭. Dropped about $30 on a Crispy Tofu app, Chicken Fried Rice and Sesame Chicken dinner, plus Thai iced tea. Portions were solid and flavors hit just right, nothing watered down, all legit. Staff was friendly, chill vibe, quick service. Cozy local spot that’s perfect for a no-fuss, tasty dinner. Highly recommend!

Haven’t been here in years and was in Chicago this weekend and had to stop by. Food tastes as great as always and the owners are the nicest. Make sure to stop by sometime if you haven’t tried it.

I recently visited this restaurant and was surprised to find it completely empty. I ordered the chicken potstickers and the Singapore rice noodles, requesting that they substitute the thin rice noodles with lo mein noodles. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing.
The potstickers, while flavorful, were just dough with no chicken inside—as evident in the attached photo. As for the Singapore rice noodles, I specifically asked for lo mein noodles instead, but they left it as thin rice noodles. When I pointed this out, they insisted that the thin noodles were their version of lo mein, which was baffling. That would have been frustrating enough, but to make things worse, the dish was almost entirely missing meat—I eventually found one tiny piece of chicken buried in it.
It’s frustrating to see restaurants receive high ratings just because they’re small businesses. Good food and honest service should be the standard, and unfortunately, this place didn’t meet either. There’s no way this deserves the high ratings it’s been getting.
Wonderful food, very kind and welcoming employees. All for a great price and convenient location!

Ordered take out and found a broken shard of plastic in the food, didn't get utensils and the shrimp wasn't cleaned.

The family run Jin Asian Cafe has delishous food, super service, and is an extreamely clean restaurant. Homemade panfried dumplings are amazing....really the best I've ever had [and I travel to China, Singapore, Taiwan, and Hong Kong], Szechuan chicken, shrimp, beef is top-notch. Also try the steamed fish....so freash and good. We've been going here for 15+ years....so good.

Great Chinese food at a reasonable price. The Governor’s chicken was tender and flavorful. The combo fried rice was flavorful.

I decided to try this restaurant because of the reviews only to be disappointed. After having a hard day at work I wanted my fix and decided to try it out. I walked in ordered my food waited 9 minutes exactly to get my food which wasn’t a problem. I did my 20 minutes exactly commute on the bus, got home and ready to decompress from a hard day only to realize that I received something I did not ordered. I was sad and disappointed. I called the store to inform the lady and instead of her apologizing for her error she was adamant that that was what I ordered for the whole 4 minutes of the call she didn’t car until I got frustrated and angry and hung up. There is ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE in this place and i’m so disappointed because all I wanted was my food that I had ordered only to be given the WRONG thing and finding out when I was home. NOT RETURNING!!!
