One of the cheaper chinese restaurants around on top of that I feel like they're the best ! Always clean,friendly, and fast.

Jin House is a gem tucked away in Amherst I've been eating there for years. everything is always really good fresh and hot I only they would put the lemon chicken back on the menu as it was truly the best I've ever had. read more

When I'm in the mood for sushi this place definitely hits the spot. It's conveniently tucked in next to our favorite Aldi store location, so definitely thankful for quick take out dinners on the go. I will say the prices are a little high on some items, but compared to other places in the area it's definitely reasonable. We are repeat customers for sure! The atmosphere is nice, take out is delicious, and the staff has always been very friendly. read more

Fantastic place to eat. It's a little hard to find next to Aldi and Dollar Tree but well worth the trip

The service was terrible. The staff has no idea what they are doing. The food was ok but not worth the wait. We came in here on a Sunday at 4 in the afternoon waited 20 minutes for anyone to come to the table. Waited longer for the check. Had to ask for plates for appetizers. The silverware consisted of a fork. Reasonable prices. But not worth the wait. The staff seemed very disorganized. read more

Amazing food, great service and affordable! Only complaint us that I dont live close enough to visit all the time. Love it!

This used to be my favorite place for sushi and other food.. but recently they completely changed the menu and not for the better... Getting rid of the pork fried rice, and replacing in with Hotdog Fried rice?! Seriously? I can see that for kids but come on.. they also got rid of the hibachi items as well as alot of other items... And the quality of the sushi (at least this last time I went) has gone down hill.. i don't know what happened for them to do a drastic change like this but it honestly isn't for the better.. and hopefully they can take constructive criticism but from what I have been hearing lately they don't. read more

Love this place! We're new to the area and it was recommended by my stylist. What a wonderful suggestion! We arrived late - about 9:20. They were mopping and had the chairs up but let us come in anyhow. The food was great! We ordered 4 specialty rolls like we always do and were pleasantly surprised when it came out not even 10 minutes later. Wow!!! Everything was fresh and delicious. We will absolutely be back!!! read more

Great sushi! We drive a distance to order party trays for events & never disappointed!

Ordered takeout. They forget the rice. You had one job! It's only a staple ingredient in about two of every three items on the menu there. It's typically the subject of the first question asked after you place your order: white or fried. When humanitarian supplies reach disaster-stricken areas after a hurricane or typhoon halfway around the world, rice is the one food they distribute. read more

Really good food and great service. I went there for lunch and you get a lot of food for a great price. No complaints at all. One of the better chinese/japanese restaurants around this area. read more

Jin House - Store front - Chinese Near Me - Amherst, Ohio

This place never ceases to amaze me! Every piece of sushi I've ever had from here has been absolutely wonderful. The miso soup is absolutely delicious and so is their seafood noodles. It is also extremely fresh food, made right there in front of you. read more

I'm going to start by saying my wife and I really like the food here. The negative aspects of the dining experience have little to do with the quality of the food (a note on this later). The purpose of this review is not to warn people about this place because, like I said, the food is really tasty. It's to offer constructive criticism to management from former restaurant workers to make dining in a lot more pleasant. --- I don't know the name of the person who first waited on us. This isn't because I didn't remember--it's because she never introduced herself. The first thing she said after the host gave us our menus was "do you know what you want to drink?" followed a minute later by "do you know what you want to eat?" She, along with the other people who checked in on us throughout dinner, was pleasant, but obviously clueless about the steps of service. Speaking of being checked on, we were one of three tables in the restaurant, yet somehow had three different people waiting on us. There is clearly not a section system in place, with all the servers sharing responsibility for all the tables. In theory, this is a helpful thing for when a server is in the weeds and can't even spare a minute to greet a table or refill a drink, but not when the restaurant has fewer than a dozen tables in the entire dining area. The amount of hovering and frequency of check-ins made it impossible for us to maintain a conversation for more than five minutes at a time before being interrupted. By the time we were about 3/4 of the way through our sushi plate, one of the servers asked if we were going to need a box. Totally reasonable, and an appropriate time in the meal to ask that question. But after I told her "no thanks, we're still working on it," she kept walking from the register to the kitchen, eyeing the plate for the first opportunity she could get to clear the table. When there was one piece of sushi left, she grabbed the plate while asking "can I get this out of your way?" When we responded with "not yet, thank you" she pulled her hand back and just stood there, waiting awkwardly for one of us to eat the last piece. Not exactly a great way to end a meal. --- A note about the food: My wife and I always get the two-person sushi combination plate. The miso soup is kind of bland, but it's free with the meal so who cares? The sushi (the important part) always tastes good, but it always comes out on a hot plate. I know for a fact that the fish is fresh and stored at a proper temperature in the sushi bar area, but it's kind of distressing to put warm raw meat in your mouth. If management sees this review, please pass it along to your staff that customers know when you're trying to rush them through their meals. Honestly, I would understand that treatment if we were the only two people in the restaurant 20 minutes before close. But we weren't. It was 7:30 on a slow Wednesday. And for the love of god, please keep some chilled plates on-hand for the half of your menu that's served raw. And to the people who are thinking of eating here: do it! The food is good! Just make sure you order it for carryout. read more

I've heard lots of good things about Jin's and finally got to try it. Food was good. Service was good. Just make sure you get any egg rolls you order early on. We were done with our meal when we realized we never got them. So, I asked they be taken off the bill. Apparently, they couldn't cause they were apart of the meal (but really weren't), so alright...just give them to me to take home. The manager confirms with me that we ordered them. She verified. Then some kid from the back runs out and ask if he delivered them to us, and I say "no." Our server then brings us one egg roll. I said "ok" but we ordered two. She checks her order pad again and says "yes, you did, do you want me to get another one?" Laughing, I say "no" and walk out. I'm referring to this as "RollGate". I don't understand restaurants that don't want to give customers what they pay for, especially when it costs them like $.50. Needless to say, we will probably not go again. I'm still on the hunt for good Chinese on the West Side. read more

My wife and I frequent here or get take out at least once a week Never had a bad meal and the Staff is awesome... The Owners are the friendliest couple. The wife and I are Gluten Free Dieters, and the owners will cook anything un-breaded for us.... and the food is always hot and fresh... Definitely give it a try.. you will not be disappointed..... read more

By far, my favorite restaurant in Amherst. Sushi, avocado salad...everything. I love it! The staff is awesome! Zero complaints!

Horrible, horrible customer service. Went there often and had no issues until our past visit. We ordered Kung Pao Chicken, they asked if I wanted the dinner so I said sure. I didn't realize that the dinner version came with shrimp as well so they charged me more money and left out the shrimp. I should have been told the dinner version came with shrimp and I would have gladly taken it. I called to complain and explain this simple simple issue and they essentially didn't apologize and blamed me for not knowing. I just wanted a simple sorry that happened, we can't do anything but we will make sure to clarify with people in the future. How hard is that. The lady on the phone was incredibly rude and seemed annoyed I was calling to state an issue I had. Absolutely 0 customer service skills. Place has gone downhill. Also, when I went in there, I saw a cook picking his scab while cooking. Also, they don't answer the phone and aren't open consistent with their listed hours. Stay away. Do not support a business that could care less about you. read more

We stopped for lunch on the way through based on the other ratings. Hmmm... the menu is a folded piece if paper with dried food and weirdly set up. This wasn't the cleanest place overall and the bathroom had no hand towels. We ordered vegetable fried rice, soup/salad and asked for curry vegetables. Somehow they couldn't charge us a entree price for that so it was charged a la carte. The soup was ok. The salad was bad and consisted of iceberg lettuce and mushy Cucumbers drowned in ginger dressing. The fried rice was excellent. The curry vegetables was actually a green curry gravy and was also excellent. I ordered tea which was a mug with a tea bag, specify the pot, I guess. So, half the meal was great and half horrible. There's a sushi bar and lunch was steady. read more

I don't normally eat sushi because raw fish makes me want to instantly gag but I had the angry roll which has asparagus, tempura shrimp, crab, tempura topping etc on it. The taste was amazing and left me wanting more. I'll definitely go there again to try a different roll. The inside is clean, a row of tables on each side. In the open next to the register there is a man who makes sushi. read more

Jen house was nasty then they got new auto owners and at the beginning they were good but they fell off.I got egg foo yong and the egg was runny. I call and order ahead of time but they never have my food ready when I get there. read more

I have never had such a worse customer experience. Talk about not caring about your customer needs. This is my fourth time coming to this restaurant and I wanted to order the any 2 sushi rolls for lunch. It said any two but I figured if I wanted a special roll I would pay the up charge. First the server said we don't do that I requested why if i want to pay the price difference. The roll that was included was $5.50 and the one I wanted was $8.95, he went back to ask the manager who said the up charge was $8.00 which any one who calculates math knows that makes no sense since I am substituting a roll not adding it on. I ask for the manager again. The server tells me she refuses to come out. I ask him if he was telling me that a customer is asking for a manager and she refuses. The manager then comes out and begins talking very loud about how busy she is. I am still talking in my normal voice and the server says to me this is a restaurant and there are other customers. I looked at him and said your manager is the one hollering not me. He said I know but please lower your voice. The manager begins speaking again in a lower voice and basically tells me that I can pay the $8.00 up charge or not get it. I ask for the owner's contact info and he says his name is Mr. JIN but he does not know how to reach him. I cannot believe the experience!!! This place maybe good tasting but that does not give them the right to treat their customers bad. I hope the owner reads this and trains his staff better. That was just terrible and humiliating. read more

I frequent this place quite a bit for lunch. Great lunch specials. Some of the best Sushi I have had in the Cleveland area. Love the wonton soup and egg rolls-both seem to be home made, which is always a win in my book. read more

Visited this location for the first time yesterday, March 21st. Layout / Interior: I went around 11:30am hoping to beat the lunch rush but it was already busy. There was only about 7 booths and they were all full. There were some chairs around the server window area but it's pretty close to the cash register so it wasn't comfortable having people coming in and practically standing over you while they ordered and paid for their food. This place seems to be popular, too bad they don't have a bigger space to accommodate the crowd that wish to sit down and eat. Customer Service: When I arrived I was immediately asked for my order by the cashier. Honestly, it annoys me that I can't have a moment to look at the menu options and decide on a meal. I wasn't asked if I wanted take out or to dine in. I really wanted to dine in, but there were no available booths and the cashier assumed I wanted a take out order. Once while I was waiting for my food by the cash register, an older lady walked in and the brunette cashier/server asked if she wanted to dine in or take out. The older lady didn't not answer her immediately so the cashier/server said, "Like what, am I invisible?!" I was shocked she would make that statement with me sitting right there within earshot. The lady was older perhaps she simply didn't hear the server. To the server, if you don't like working with the clientele - get another job or perhaps get from behind the cash register and actually walk up to greet the customers instead of shouting over people. The food took about 15-20 minutes. I ordered the General Tso. I get an hour lunch break, but for those who only have 30 minutes for lunch this probably isn't the place for you. When I got the food, I opened the bag to ensure everything I ordered was in there. The chef (and/or owner) practically stared me down while I was doing this. I guess he was surprised that I took the time to make sure my order was right. Either way, I didn't appreciate being stared down like that. The Food: Again, I ordered General Tso chicken with soup and egg rolls. The egg roll was ok. I didn't touch the soup. As for the General Tso it was just ok as well. Typical Chinese food fare, nothing special. I did notice with the last few pieces I ate that I had a difficult time chewing through the chicken. I ultimately had to spit it out. I'm not sure if the chicken was stale, but it shouldn't have been that tough. I was finished with the meal by then (about half way through my portion). About an hour and a half later, let's just said I experienced some "very uncomfortable stomach problems". Needless to say, I threw the rest of my order out. Pricing: Reasonable. Verdict: I won't go back. read more

Jin House used to be super good. But it's not worth the hassle. The first time I ever came here, my boyfriend and I decided to sit down and eat (not a good choice). Not only did we wait 40 Minutes for our food. People who sat down after us got their food before us! We ended up walking out. They do have great sushi though so now we only do pick up. We haven't gone since they got rid of their habatchi meals since my boyfriend likes them and I get them when I want more then sushi. To get rid of one of the most filling, cheap things you have and replace it with hotdog rice is a bad business move in my opinion. Good for sushi, bad for customer service and anything else. If you guys want full meals, I recommend Golden Crown like right across the street. read more

I've never understood the hype with this place. Their food is ok, I guess. There are so many better Chinese restaurants in the area though. The entree's I've had have been ok but what makes or breaks a Chinese restaurant for me is the egg roll and I thought there's were pretty bad. read more

This is by far the best Chinese place in the Amherst area! We love all their lunch and dinner specials as well as their sushi.

I had to write my first review about the Jin House. I love this place so much. They serve the best sushi around and all their other options are just as good! Today I wasn't all that happy with my sushi and I had left most of it unfinished. The owner wanted to see if I needed a box, I didn't. I just wasn't feeling it today. He offered to make me any kind of sushi to go because he didn't want to see someone leave unhappy. (which I wasn't) It just shows how far people will go to make sure you get the best meal possible. He ended up refunding my entire bill to me, without me even being there. I wont stop going here ever. I love this place and the owners/staff. Thank you all for being amazing and making my day. read more

My experience was terrible. Waiter was uninterested and reeked of "I don't care". Food took 25 minutes to come out and the place had little business at the time. Messed up my wife's order. Both dishes ordered were the Chinese lunch specials and were not good at all .A person that I believe may have been the owner was yelling loudly in the kitchen at the kitchen help. Even after voicing displeasure at our meals to the waiter, he didn't say a word. The $15.67 spent was a culinary disaster. read more

Very limited seating. However the servers are very polite and attentive. The food is great. My go to order is the california crunch roll and their amazing fried rice. Wish they would upgrade to a bigger location and offer delivery. read more

The Angry Roll is awesome! Have yet to order something I did not love. Service is always outstanding and prices account for my repeat, repeat and repeat business. read more

This is my first time here so I ordered a large Kung Pao Chicken and the dark meat chicken was overcooked, super hard to eat. This pretty much ruined the entire dish; I threw it away after a couple bites. My friend ordered the Sushi and found bones inside the salmon. We won't be returning here anytime soon due to quality issues. read more

This place has the best sushi that I've ever had. I have recently moved to strongsville & have been to Shinto & Sakura & they don't compare. It's definitely worth the drive. The food has always been fresh. Their menu choices are extensive from sushi, Chinese, & hibachi. Their soups are also delicious. Actually between my best friends, husband & I, we have been there countless times, gotten a lot of different things & it's all been awesome! Jin & his wife Lynn are the owners & they are both in there every time we go, working to make sure everything is great. read more

Excellent sushi! Wow, I can't believe a place like this is in Amherst- the AK47 and volcano rolls are delicious and expertly prepared, and the Japanese dishes are excellent. The only thing that keeps this place from being another star higher is that the Chinese food they sell is basic, greasy-spoon Chinese. I had to double check that it came from Jin House and not a generically-named hole-in-the-wall. Lesson learned: don't order Chinese from a Japanese place. read more

I love this place, it's quirky and attentive. We tried it for the first time last night. They were very busy, all tables full and lots of take away. We were seated in a timely manner and quickly had our drink order taken. We had at least 3 members of the staff check in and take our orders. We ordered sushi for an app, they brought them all out on the same plate. Thats nice since it's all together and eliminates a lot of excess plates on a small table. The dinner portions are enormous! Very plentiful and tasty. They come with soup and egg roll. They don't put pork in the fried rice so that's perfect for me (vegetarian). Since I couldn't eat the soup the server said he would bring me two egg rolls, so sweet. All in all we loved it and made a point to grab a menu. We are more than happy to travel from Elyria to get takeaway or dine in. read more

This used to be my favorite but now fried rice is made with hot dogs. You can upgrade to chicken fried rice for a $3.00 upcharge. Plus they discontinued chicken hibachi, chicken teriyaki and egg foo yung. Not going back. read more
