Small restaurant (currently offering take out and delivery only), short hours and no menu. You have to go to a website to see the menu. Friendly girl behind the counter offered to show us the menu on a small handheld machine (same one that takes credit card and Apple Pay payments). Food was very good, big portions and prices were not too bad. We’ll be back!
This is my favorite place in the area! The Mongolian beef is amazing. You can add whatever you like to it and if you ask for things to be left off, they listen.. order at least once a week here!
Easily some of the best Chinese food I have had. Their crab Rangoon's are also top notch. Quality is also always consistent! Jin is definitely my go-to for Chinese food.
My son and I are in the process of visiting every Chinese restaurant in Chittenden County. We always order the same thing. I order a chicken and broccoli combo with pork fried rice and an egg roll. My son orders a sesame chicken combo with pork fried rice and teriyaki sticks. In this case, Jin's has discontinued offering combination meals, so we ordered the equivalent meals a la carte. Price: $40.65. On a price per ounce basis ( $.46/oz), the price is outrageously high. Portion: 5.5lbs between the two meals is a bit larger than average. Pros: Good location easily accessible from the heart of Winooski. Overall, the food had good flavor. The pork fried rice was moist and tasty. Microwavable trays are a bonus and distinctive. Hot and spicy offering is available. Cons: PRICE, PRICE, PRICE! On a per ounce basis, Jin's is nearly twice as expensive as comparable Chinese takeouts in Chittenden County. Reduced hours 3:00 pm - 8:00 pm, a 53% reduction from pre-Covid. By charging 2X, they're able to reduce business hours by half and maintain pre-Covid income level. We ordered just after opening at 3:00 pm and it took 35 minutes for the food to be ready. Impression: Good food at a convenient location. Ridiculously high pricing around 2X the average Chinese takeout in Chittenden County. Had the price been in line with the average for this area, this restaurant would have earned 4 stars. Because pricing was prohibitively high, we're giving Jin a 2 star review.
First time there and enjoyed it. It reminded me of Panda Express in California. The food is prepared from fresh. The menu is basic Chinese fast food and tasty. It was ready for pick up in 20 minutes. We will be back.
