Wow! Our family go together last minute. We had a taste for Asian food. After reading the reviews we agreed to try Jin Jia. Our server greeted us and inquired if we had been before. We indicated our first time trying the restaurant. We loved the round table and Lazy-Susan. She explained the menu and how food would be served. First dish out was the Egg Rolls. We all agreed they were amazing! We ordered 4 different dishes and Chicken Fried Rice. My choice was to have some Egg Drop Soup. Got a lot a flack it was 102 outside.... But you must try ! Service , Food Quality, portions and variety were excellent. Keep up the great work, and cheers to the Chef. 5stars. read more

Amazing must try! We went there for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I would have to say it is the best Asian food I have ever had. The ambiance is quiet and cozy. The service is friendly, responsive, and attentive. The prices are very high but well worth it. We had to go there again two days later. Yummy!!! read more

Went for lunch last week. Some of the best Chinese food I've had in years. Schezuan soft shell crab - 9.5 Ghengis beef - 10 Chicken friend rice - 9 King crab egg drop soup - 9.5 Classy and elegant inside, yet casual enough for jeans. Only downside is price. It was expensive ($140 for 2 people for lunch) but worth it was a special treat! read more

From the moment we walked in the host staff treated us with Uber hospitality. Smiles. Friendliness. Great Energy! Of course, Excellent Service by the ultra professional and friendly server Kenneth. If we lived here, we would be his regulars! This place is super modern and elegant. The entree was shareable - perfect for two people. The decor is just as much a feast for the eyes as the plates were. I dub this place fancy Chinese/Korean and for social media photos definitely worth dressing up . read more

The food was good, but some of the dishes had smaller portions than we expected. Overall the price to value equation is a bit off, was decent but be prepared to drop $ without the satisfaction of fine Asian ambiance. Service was great so no issues there and the egg drop soup with crab wasn't worth the $$ but everything else was good. read more

Our family visit second time on Sunday Our daughters love this place food Order 6 dishes everything delicious except jajang noodle also portion lot big a then last time pretty enough! Food is excellent !!! Thank you Love this place. read more

Fantastic. Extremely delicious, authentic Chinese-Korean cuisine. Amazing vibe, beautiful restaurant. Everything we had was excellent. For the price, very reasonable given the quality of ingredients. Large family style dishes. Folks, these dishes are next to impossible to recreate at home without a huge sacrifice of your whole day and the cleanliness of your kitchen. Most importantly, these are highly technical dishes and no home cook could easily plate anything in the same arena. Service on an early Saturday afternoon (today) was excellent. I apologize for not remembering our female server. She is excellent. I can't wait to go back with a large clan of friends/family. Nothing is like this in all of the Valley. Epic meal. read more

What a beautiful restaurant! In the space that once occupied California Pizza Kitchen, it is perfectly located in the center of Desert Ridge. The service was outstanding and the food was good. Most portions are larger than average and suitable for family style servings. The prices were a little higher than expected, but might be justified based on the size of some of the dishes. The menu had a great variety that will be great to try on the next visit. If you're with a group, you might want to ask for a booth. They offer a little more privacy from the rest of the restaurant. They also have a nice patio with outdoor seating , once it cools down! read more

The decor is gorgeous! The staff was Sooo sweet and on top of service. The food was delicious and uniquely presented. Love the family style turn table making it easy to share. The fried rice was HEAVEN. The soft shell crab was spicy and delicious. Will be back. read more

Pretty much everything is spicy, but the portions are shareable. Like others have noted, the $2-$3 for a side of rice after ordering a few mains at $50/each is odd. But the drink are cold, and the service is good. Went twice already and I would go back again soon. read more

Great food and bartenders. High quality ingredients and well prepared food. Soft shelled crab is an excellent choice with some spice. read more

Everything was too sweet specially Jjajangmen. Maybe I had a high expectations on their foods.

My family and I eaten here many times and the food is decent. However, this is the first time we ordered to go and the quantity is less than half for the same price. Absolutely unacceptable. Why the hell would you reduce the quantity for to go. DO NOT ORDER TO GO BECAUSE YOU WILL GET RIPPED OFF. read more

Pros: - the ambiance was beautiful and upscale, nicer than most restaurants nearby in desert ridge. - our server was amazing, very attentive and went out of her way to make a birthday special, including making sure I was ready to record a video of my spouse before coming out with the birthday dessert. - the setup for a family style meal was cool including a lazy susan in the table. Cons: - unfortunately the biggest con was the food, it was decent but not outstanding especially for the price. A couple dishes were fried/crispy when we weren't expecting them to be. read more

Shared a table with 4 friends for lunch. Not chinese food. The cuisine is Korean and VERY SPICY. Everyone was polite but rigid in not changing the chefs ingredients. We requested a sauce other than the SPICY and was politely refused. A cup of tea was TEN DOLLARS (10) and a glass of Sprite was 8.00. I'll take a pass for the future read more

As a person who has a relative that runs chines restaurants and have worked in that industry, I was pretty disappointed. I will just bullet point it to make things easier 1) Went on a Friday night and it was not busy yet service was terrible. Waited almost 45 min to order. Yes we did say we needed a bit more time to decided but it was well in the beginning and should not have waited 45 min to come back asking if we are ready. Had to flag them down for water refill 2) THIS IS NOY FAMILY PORTION!!! Food was pretty good but for the price you are paying, ex is wagyu beef chow fan, it's $24 and you get less than 1/3 if in comparison to a typical Chinese restaurant. Not to mention where the hell is the wagyu beef!? Look at the image. I promise you it's not under that "family portion" 3) The flavors are great but nothing spectacular that justify the pricing. I get it, you are paying for quality ingredients over quality. But this contradicts what I said in #2. 4) Ambient is great, love the modern aesthetic which incorporates your typical Chinese red. Some Jazz/elegant music. Overall it's not worth the price. If you increase the portion size, then maybe yes. read more

Ambiance, food and service were outstanding. I highly recommend this unique Chinese-Korean restaurant to anyone who loves a great dining experience! read more

Good food and ambience. I recommend visiting the place and checking it out. Good drinks as well.

Honestly, don't know where to even start. My family and I ordered numerous dishes here and most of them were phenomenal. We got a dish called arranged, seafood beef, & vegetable a.k.a. "Yang-jang-pi" that we didn't enjoy cause we weren't aware that the sauce was a wasabi, spicy mustard flavored. Flavors that are known to be an acquired taste. I also want to start off by saying our waitress Holland was great. Extremely helpful, respectful and overall just a great vibe. We asked Holland if it was possible to remake the dish without the sauce since we weren't aware of its unique flavors, but if "it's too much trouble, then it's okay." She tells us that she'll let her manager know to see what they can do. Holland had told us prior to ordering that she's never tried this specific dish. Therefore, I can understand why she wouldn't be able to let us know that the sauce had such flavors. Fast forward, the manager, Roger comes over and the first thing he said was, "So what? Now it's too hot for you guys?" No, hi. No introduction. Just rude. It's was the most uncomfortable, unpleasant interaction. We all completely lost our appetite, on top feeling very unwelcome. If it wasn't for Holland, I would've gave this place a one star. You can have good food but with bad energy plus disrespectful service, it's never worth it. We were respectful. There was no need to get ugly. read more

The Ambience was perfect, staff was helpful and service was appropriate, food/flavor and presentation perfect. Definitely would come back after lunch again. Very satisfied and found our new hangout place! For some people who leave bad reviews, please be aware that this is a Chinese Korean fusion restaurant. I thought they did a beautiful job with some of the dishes. Many customers have lots of opportunities to ask questions about the dish before they decide what to get. If you don't do your research, you will disappoint yourself. This restaurant was simply put... Awesome! read more

Dinner at Jin Jia was fantastic! It's high-end Korean-Chinese so I recommend ordering outside of what you would normally order if you were to go get Chinese. To our surprise the mango prawns were everyone's favorite dish! read more

Beautiful place, but food was expensive and not particularly "special". Service was pretty good. Probably won't return.

The food and service were fantastic. We got the softshell crab, the ribs, the chicken, fried rice, the beef chow fun, the Jampong, the crab egg, drop soup and the prawn toast. Each of us had a favorite. It was so delicious! Thank you for opening an upscale Chinese Korean restaurant in our area. Love it! read more

The decor and interior was really nice. Service was good but the waiter didnt seem "with it" like forgetting what we ordered even though he wrote it down a second ago. We had a party of 7 but I think the place was more ideal for 4. They advertised family style foods but makes it hard to share at a long table. And it was really awkward to try to get the food with only chop sticks (fried rice no spoon!?). And we couldn't really mix the arranged seafood dish well with chopsticks too. As for the food, I really recommend the Yang Jang Pi - arranged seafood, beef and vegetables. The mustard adds a nice kick and jelly fish was delicious. Dumplings were good too. Jja Jang Noodles was too salty and full of onions. It was lacking beef and noodles. Chicken fried rice was soggy and dry chicken. They did not use overnight rice. La-Jo-Gi was soggy too. But tasted okay. In general, most of the dishes were not authentic to Chinese Korean. Jja Jang Noodles was especially disappointing and Paik's Noodle at Asiana was better at a fraction of the cost. And most of the dishes were either too soggy or salty. I think the Chinese dishes were better than the Korean ones. But the food was too overpriced for it's quality. I can't recommend this place. read more

Food 8/10 Service 9/10 Price... 5/10 Serving size 7/10 Overall it was a good meal just way over priced comparatively speaking. Seafood dish for nearly $40 had 6 prawns. 8 oz bottle of soda $6.00. Food was good but just overpriced. Would I go back... probably not. It was good but not worth the price. Friday night prime time and the place was maybe half full. I don't expect them to be around much longer. read more

So I will say I did like the food but this is just "good" Chinese food. Nothing crazy or special or higher quality than normal Chinese food, sorry to say. Where are you getting your prices because they make no sense. Coming from San Diego and the most expensive city especially when it comes to food, these prices are far above where they should be. $24 for chicken fried rice, Din Tai Fung's is $16.50 in San Diego! And WAY famous for their food. You are no where compared to them. $38 for sweet & sour beef!? What? Lol this was a normal size dish that should be no more than $20-$25 max. I'm a boujee high end foodie snob and this place should not be charging what they are. Even the best of the best aren't charging these prices. read more

This place is very good. The service to the quality of food you get does not disappoint. Its location at the mall may make you think its star rating could drop. However, that could not be further from the truth. Try this place, it's legit. read more

Located in desert ridge maul. Next to Barnes and noble. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a nice atmosphere. We had three appetizers pot stickers and shrimp toast they were all good but salty, portions a little small . We then ordered the egg drop soup, this was bland and portions a little small . We ordered beef and rice noodles, they were way salty and oily. We also had the scallop. s and garlic fried chicken. They were both good and a much larger portion. We ordered dessert glass noodles but got potatoes for a Korean restaurant I am not sure what was Korean price was high for the meal about 85 Dollars a person. The service was good , a little slow. It was good to try once but it is not a 5 star restaurant read more

Save your money!! The food was decent and the drinks were pretty good but in no way is this any better than your local Chinese takeout restaurant. Well....there is one difference and that would be the price tag. And the thing is I want to give them another chance but there is just simply no way to justify paying $40 for a plate that is the same quality as the $12 meal you can get at your local take out spot. read more

Decided to go for a lunch date with my husband. We went in and were seated right away. Very clean and modern new concept. Waitress was prompt to the table and we placed our starters and drinks. The food was amazing and portions were generous - Extremely fresh and tasted wonderful. Our food was beyond our expectations. We will be back and recommend those on the fence to give it a chance. read more

I am Korean and a regular here. It is on the pricier side but the quality of food, ambience, and service make up for it. Every dish is great but especially fried dishes like sweet and sour beef and menbosha are top notch , simple fried rice is very well made. One thing I wish they had is plastic straws and cup for kids. I guess kids are not their target consumer group but I do go there with kids and I would appreciate if they have them ready. (They have only paper straws, more environmental friendly, but my kiddos chew and eat them..) Other than that, definitely a great addition to the area. read more

Expected more from Sizzle and Shinbay's sister company and just an upscale establishment in general. Food is just okay for normal prices and terrible for the prices they charge, very Americanized despite what they try to say. I know it's their grand opening but I don't see this place ever being good because the food ultimately is far from good. Waitress was telling customer they have lobster egg drop soup when it's actually crab egg drop soup. Also saying they have japchae but meaning jjamppong. Waiter had to ask us multiple times randomly what we ordered after we clearly pointed at the time of ordering. They tried to give us other tables dishes multiple times. Then when they brought us one of our pork dishes (which they first tried to give to the table next to us and called it chicken) we said it wasn't our dish because it didn't match the picture on social media. Manager said that the pictures were labeled with the wrong dish names. Took them about 10 minutes for them and us to realize it was indeed our dish and they brought out the old one which was now cold instead of remaking it. Found it super coincidental the table next to us was getting our same dishes even though we ordered first. Later overheard they indeed were getting our dishes and so we had to wait longer for our food to be made. Waiter saw I was upset and asked if he could get us anything (to make up for all the issues.) I asked for rice and he later charged us $2 for it instead of just comping this minimum for all the issues. Meat quality was some of the worst I had. I understand they use dark meat chicken but it wasn't cleaned of fat and was slimey. Most of their food is fried even their wok dishes and there's no indication that some of the dishes are fried. We didn't eat half of one of the dishes and expressed to the waiter we didn't like it and why when asked. At the end we didn't receive any comps, wasn't even offered a free dessert- expect more from a fine dining establishment especially when our server acknowledged himself all the issues. Manager Christian was far from helpful in every interaction we had from him, seemed fake/disingenuous and not receptive despite saying he was appreciative of the feedback. Acted like they didn't give the table next to us our food. The Arizona Asian community was so excited for this place to open and I'll be sharing my experience. read more

Not sure why there are any poor reviews of Jin Jia. It is definitely a top three Chinese restaurant in all of Phoenix. We have been back several times and have NEVER been disappointed with the food or service. This joint is Tip Top. Prices are a bit high, but so is Mc Donald these day's! read more

Jin Jia - prawn toast and sweet and sour beef plus fried rice all at an amazing price! - Chinese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Great food and great service. Spent my birthday there and really enjoyed the evening!

Celebrated my birthday dinner at Jin Jia. Hubby made reservations online which was super easy to do. We arrived and our table was ready. Our server was professional and was on point with refilling our glasses with sparkling water. They have a full bar there, so I ordered a cosmo and hubby had a glass of Tsingtao beer. Beautiful dining room with cute booths and nice tables with a lazy Susan in the middle. There's a bar area and outdoor dining for those warm summer nights. Our plates were family style. We started off with the fried dumplings. Very delicious. We then had the Wagyu beef belly chow fun. Beef melted in your mouth. We wanted a chicken dish and our server recommended the chili garlic fried chicken. Yummy nuggets of fried chicken with a chili sauce drizzled over. We also had a small bowl of white rice to go with the meal. We were too full to try any of their dessert offering. We actually had leftovers and took it to go. The restroom area was decorated with a ton of red lanterns with individual private toilets. We highly recommend Jin Jia for an elegant date night dinner. read more
