    This is absoulutely favourite restaurant at the moment…read more It is a tiny little restuarant that is very easy to miss, as the roadside signage is both understated and unlit. It holds seating for around 25 people, is wheelchair accessible, and does easilly the best Chinese food I've had in ages. For me, the highlights of the menu are: Chicken Peking style - which is a chopped battered chicken breast fillet in the lightest, crispiest batter you can imagine, drizzled with a fresh garlic, spring onion and soy dressing... Sounds a bit doughy? Not at all.. it somehow keeps fresh and crispy througout the meal. The Chinese dumplings are fabulous (always a benchmark for me - as they're so easy to get wrong) - but the smart money for me goes to have the Wonton soup instead, as the starter has 4 dumplings, whereas the soup has 3 of the same.. and the soup, and is cheaper. Instead, either the chicken sate, or the Chefs special kebabs (with a delightfully spicy chilli sauce) are absolute winners. (and very large portions too) Any noodle dish is amazing, as is all the seafood.. I've now had prawn, squid and scallops, and all are of absolute freshness, and are cooked to perfection. On the first time I went to this restaurant, which to be honest is quite sparcely decorated and lit.. I was greeted by only one other table being used. The occupants said that they'd seen my party pass by, and then come back, and 'we'd chosen a good-un' here. They then proceeded to offer us tastes of their dishes before we ordered to prove,.. (one of which was the Peking chicken) I'm a very fussy eater, and wouldn't normally dream of accepting, but I did on this occasion, as they genuinely seemed proud of the restaurant,.. The tastes guaranteed that we'd have that on our first order, and the rest is history. Such enthusiasm from clientelle just speaks volumes IMHO. Wonderful service, great food. I seriously have nothing but praise for this place. I've taken 6 of my friends here on several occasions, and everyone agreed on the quality of everything.. One friend (who, incidentally I've just been back there with) literally could not wait to go back there this evening... The restaurant proudly displays paper clippings on the walls in the dining area and the outer widows proclaiming that they recently won the accolade of the best Chinese food in Bromley. (no mean feat as Xian was also in their catagory!) - While Xian is unboutably good, it also has the dresscode and prices to match.. For me, the unassuming location and friendliness of the staff, yet equally delicious food of Lotus will win out any day. Please go and try it, the chef deserves as much business as he can handle..

    Jin Jiang is the kind of authentic Szechuan that is hard to find yet incredibly rewarding. You get…read morea bevy of usual dishes expertly prepared alongside what they call "adventurous dishes" which is the genuine Chinese cuisine which tends to scare off white people. Those adventurous dishes are what make this gem so amazing. Trust me when I say your taste buds will thank you for taking the path less traveled. If you check out the included photo you'll see a wide assortment of flavors on display, from spicy dumplings swimming in delicious hot oil to aromatic spicy crab, which was a surprise hit. Yes, there are spicy dishes a plenty at this place, but you'll also find plates suitable for milder tongues as well. The entire menu is packed with delicious food which will satisfy just about anyone in your group. Indoor dining isn't happening these days, but during my previous visits to Jin Jiang I always found the service to be friendly and attentive while the atmosphere was quite comfortable. Seriously, this is the kind of rare find (outside of your local Chinatown) that I want to support through these tough times because I love restaurants that work hard to expand the Chinese cuisine experience beyond the same boring stuff that has sadly become synonymous with takeaway. Give them a try if you're looking for something different. They just might become your new favorite Chinese.

    From the owner: We make the nice and delicious traditional Chinese food for all customers! We do Hot Pot, dry hot…read morepot,grilled fish and all spice Szechuan cuisine, We are new management with same chef! Look forward to your coming
