Jinlan Chinese Restaurant

I really do hate you give such a low rating especially to a locally owned restaurant... Unfortunately it was well-deserved.. I went in around 7:30 this evening and it was completely empty that should have been my first red flag, the two ladies that were there we're not very hospitable and I got home with my food after I stopped to make a quick trip to Walgreens riding my bike there and back takes about 10 minutes and this is what I found when I opened up the food because it smelled delicious but I didn't take that way... Not to mention the whole restaurant was dirty outdated utterly depressing honestly. I work hard for my money and the little bit I have to splurge for extravagances & luxuries, I definitely need it to count for the utmost. This however was a complete waste 😕

My grandson and I ordered takeout. We usually eat there but we're pressed for time.
The food was absolutely gross. 3 entrees of mush.
The breading on the orange chicken and gen tso chicken was mush. Not certain it was properly fried.
The chicken in the szechuan chicken only resembled chicken but certainly did not taste like it.
And we could not even get the dumplings out of the container without them completely falling apart.
I am so disappointed as we talked about eating from there for a few days and I was kinda excited for it. We had been going there for literally years and never really had a complaint.
I will not go there again.

I’ve had good experiences here in past, but the wonton soup tasted like there was mold in it today. My partner thought same. Didnt finish it.

Great old school Chinese restaurant! I came for lunch and got orange beef with a steamed side of broccoli and an egg roll. Portions were very large and delicious! If you like old school authentic Chinese where they still put umbrellas in the drinks…this is your place!

I would give this place zero stars I if it was an option. It was the dirtiest place I’ve ever seen. The tables were not clean, the tea pots, menus, check holder and sauce dishes were all sticky and had visible grime. We felt very uncomfortable eating inside the restaurant and the food was utterly disgusting. The food was slimy, lacked flavor and looked uncooked. Lastly, we ordered a coke/pepsi and it has zero carbonation, and it tasted funky. Hopefully, we won’t get sick from the unsanitary conditions.

Best place and been going my entire life!!! I have severe reactions to MSG and Jinlan is the only place that I never have a reaction from. My favorite takeaway spot☺️

Walked and and walked out. Filthy. Eat at your own risk

Incredible food, staff is friendly and helpful. Though I had never been here before, walking into the restaurant gave me such feelings of nostalgia. Though the interior is straight out of the 1980s, it’s clean, and well-kept. There was a large group/family there of nearly 20 people and I get the feeling that that family meets there regularly, and they have for years, because it’s just that good.

Don't know what happened over the years but this place has gone downhill!!! Chicken was way over cooked hard on the inside (hoping it really was chicken) The pork fried rice was undercooked, hard completely uncooked pieces all throughout. The service was even worse than the food. Rude when ordering then refusing to allow putting the pin in on the debit card that doesn't work without the pin?!?! Wtf how are you going to tell me how to use my card!! Will NEVER eat there again honestly not sure how they're still in business But they really shouldn't be! ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND

Food was bland and tasteless

4 people for lunch and tea and a soda and the bill was under $50! The food was fresh, hot, flavorful and MSG-free. The atmosphere is charming. The service was fantastic. Someone in our party with dietary restrictions mistakenly order a dish that was deep fried, we were willing to pay for the dish but needed to order something else, the waitress insisted that she take the 1st order off the bill.We're going again in a few weeks.

Kenmore's hidden gem! Excellent food, ridiculously inexpensive price which means you can tip the waitress more for her fabulous service. The food is fresh, hot, flavorful and MSG-free! The decor is a bit old but it's charming. It reminds me of the Fort Erie Chinese restaurants of the early 80s which I rather liked. Especially when lunch for 4 with tea and soda is still only $40!!

Great food family style atmosphere. Huge variety of food. You can't go wrong visiting this family owned business. Sue and Oi are fantastic!

A very great Chinese place for food and culture they have alot of Chinese pictures and status I wish more eat
