    I had a wonderful experience at Jin Jia for my friends birthday dinner. We should have came sooner! The inside is sleek with a high end modern twist. I really loved the chains around the booths, it made our booth feel more private. You can't miss the big gold fortune cookie near the restrooms! So cool! Our server was so sweet, attentive and very informative. She explained the menu really well and gave great recommendations. We ordered a cocktail to start, I started with the star in the sky. I absolutely loved this beautiful yummy blue drink. It had supple pineapple, coconut milk, 5 spice and bacardi rum . My friends ordered the asian pear flower and an espresso martini. My friends enjoyed their drinks. We ordered two appetizers to share, the Jin Jia crispy egg rolls and the prawn toast menbosha. Both were great but the prawn toast was our favorite, crispy prawn with a lemon cream sauce, what else can you ask for!? So delicious. The crispy eggs rolls don't look like your typical egg rolls and they don't look that appetizing but they had a great crunch and were very tasty. For our entrees we shared the classic chili garlic shrimp, sweet and sour beef, vegetable fried rice and a side of white rice. It was the perfect amount for the 3 of us, we even went home with some leftovers. The food was so delicious! For the birthday girl, we went with the trident banana lupia with mascarpone. oh my gosh, this dessert was phenomenal! I'd love to come back during their $20 lunch specials and their $7 happy hour, looks like a great deal! See you then!

    If you haven't checked out Jin Jia yet your missing out. We finally went for a birthday dinner with friends, and it was such a great experience. The space itself is cool. The décor is sleek and modern with a really upscale vibe. I loved the ceiling lanterns and the booths along the side. They make the place feel intimate and stylish. There's even a giant fortune cookie in the back that adds a fun. We kicked things off with cocktails. I had the Asian Pear Flower Martini, made with pear vodka and grapefruit, lemon juices, topped with a thin slice of pear. It's very light and refreshing. One friend ordered the Star in the Sky, an electric-blue pineapple and coconut martini, and another had the espresso martini (served without foam, which was interesting but still great) The menu blends Korean and Chinese cuisine, and everything is meant to be shared family-style, which we enjoyed. We started with the Jinjia Crispy Egg Roll (filling is king crab, prawn, mushroom) and the Prawn Toast "Menbosha." The Menbosha was the standout. It's crispy medallions of minced prawn served with a lemon cream dipping sauce. Absolutely delicious and a must-order!! For entrées, we shared the Chili Garlic Shrimp and the Sweet & Sour Beef (Korean-Chinese Tang-Su-Yug crispy beef) along with vegetable fried rice and a side of white rice. Portions were generous, we even had leftovers. The Tang-Su-Yug was beautifully plated with vegetables and a tangy glaze, the fried rice was light and fluffy, and the shrimp had just the right amount of heat without being overpowering. For dessert, we had the Trident Banana Lumpia, served with mascarpone, brown butter walnuts, and fresh fruit. It was fantastic and since we were celebrating a birthday our server brought it out with a sparkler, which made it extra fun. Speaking of service, our server was wonderful. She was friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations that really helped guide our meal. We also checked out the happy hour and lunch specials while we were there, and the deals looked amazing. The bar area leading out to a small patio also looked like a great spot to hang out. We'll definitely be back!

    Chili Garlic Fried Chicken
    Tina H.

    Here's our bill: Sweet & Sour Beef $24.00 Kkan Sho Prawn $24.00 Chili Garlic Fried Chicken $23.00 Jja Jang (x2) $38.00 Shanghai Sour $18.00 Midnight Blossom $34.00 Milk Tea Fruit Tart $13.00 Beef was delicious. Definitely sweeter than expected, but tasty and good texture. Prawns were unnecessarily spicy. Texture and flavor were good, but this dish isn't usually supposed to be kick your butt spicy. Interesting take on one of our staples. Chicken was also spicier than it needed to be. Also tasty with good texture, but unsure why they feel the need to make these dishes to this spice level as a standard. Maybe make it an option to go spicy but have a normal spice level as the standard? Jja Jang Myeon was very good. We were pleasantly surprised by this dish as it's a staple and even our kids are good judges of jjajangmyon since we tend to eat it a lot. This passed the test for all adults and kids alike. Tasty and with good texture. Could've used more noodles to sauce ratio but pro tip: mix whatever leftover sauce into rice and eat it that way! Shanghai sour and midnight blossom drinks were both great. Got the milk tea fruit tart compliments of the restaurant, for our little one's birthday. The sparkler "candle" was fun for him and the tart was enjoyed by all. Definitely recommend this dish to top off your meal. Service was great. We called on a Saturday to see about getting a walk in table because online showed no reservations. When we walked in, half the restaurant was empty so I'm not really sure why they acted like they were doing us a huge favor getting us in. It stayed half empty the entire time we were there. Ambiance is on the fancier side (especially for these menu items) but fun. Not too fancy where you feel out of place. It's noisy in there but not too loud. We had 3 young kids and never felt out of place.

    Best korean chinese restaurant in the US that I've been to! Prawn Toast (membosha) is a must have, and all other dishes are high quality. Highly recommend!

    We love this place. Just found out their happy hour is 7 days a week so we stopped by on a Sunday. Great service. Our server, Amanda was awesome. The happy hour menu food is really good. Nice decor in the bar area. Great drink selection. Decent pricing. Highly recommend.

    My first time dining here and was an excellent experience. I dined on a Monday late afternoon and there were only a few other patrons present. First thing I noticed was their booths are huge and each could probably accommodate 8 persons or more. I was seated at a table with a cushioned seat and it was very comfortable. I began with the Seaweed Cucumber Salad. I have to say it was much spicier than I expected. While not too spicy it definitely had a wake-up-your-taste-buds kick to it. Very unique flavors made it a worthy start to the meal. My main course was the Lobster Fried Rice. This where they lost a point as the waitress brought out the dish while I was still eating my salad. This should not happen in a classy restaurant such as Jin Jia, especially when there were only a few other customers present. The Lobster Fried Rice was big enough to share. It was a large portion and I was able to finish it off. The dish was very good and had a decent amount of chunks of lobster. The flavor was what I expected - not spectacular buy fit for fine dining. I'm glad I dined here and I recommend this restaurant. There's ample parking nearby by. The entrance door is nondescript and, at first, I tried entering from another door and Hwy was locked.

    Nice upscale Chinese restaurant with a quiet & fancy ambiance. Tang-su-yug is pretty authentic, except they add strawberries here. The strawberry flavor was pretty distinctive and overpowering especially on the adjacent pieces of meat, and I personally didn't really care for it. Jja-jang noodle and Menbosha were both pretty tasty.

    Hubby & I had date night at Jin Jia, and were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is located in Desert Ridge, and there's plenty of parking out front. I started with the Shanghai sour, which was refreshing, and had the perfect dash of sweetness from the Chambord. The prawn toast took me back to childhood. My father loved ordering shrimp toast when we dined at Chinese restaurants, and this appetizer was amazing. I can't remember the name of the crispy beef entrée we ordered, but it was cooked perfectly, and not super spicy. The fried rice was immaculate! It was light, fluffy, and had the perfect blend of spices and seasonings. I would also recommend the La-Jo-Gi. I believe it was cooked in a brown sauce and it had lots of veggies. I would recommend Jin Jia for date night!

    Came in for an early dinner around 5pm and tried a nice variety of dishes from the Happy Hour menu. We ordered the egg rolls, golden dragon wings, and steamed dumplings to start. For our mains, we had the Jin Jia Fried Rice, Chili Garlic Fried Beef "Kan-Fung-Yuk," and the La-Jo-Gi. The egg rolls were my favorite of the night, I even ordered a second round, though they were forgotten and never made it to the table. It wasn't a big deal since I was already full, and they removed them from the bill without any issue.The food is served family-style, but I did feel the portions were on the smaller side for the price. That said, the service was good, and the decor has a trendy, modern vibe. We sat in the lounging area, which my kiddos really enjoyed, and overall we had a fun dinner together.We'll definitely be back to try their happy hour next time.

    We have been meaning to try this place out and went with my friend for a lunch. This place is huge and very fancy. A great dining place for date nights, family or friends. I loved the ambiance and the decor. We were seated immediately and asked if we wanted any drinks. Since we were just getting lunch picked from their lunch menu. Everything is priced at $20 with a main dish and side. We went with chili garlic shrimp and chili garlic fried chicken with a side of fried rice. The portion is really good and though both chicken and fish were chili garlic they tasted different and spot on. We loved both the dishes, the flavors were fantastic, very filling and enjoyed our lunch. The service is impeccable and totally worth the money. I would love to try their full menu and dinner options too. A must visit in desert ridge.

    I've been here three times but hadnt have a chance to write a review! I've come here for dinner, HH, and lunch. The lunch special for 2 for $20 is the best. We got the crispy beef and jjajjangmyun and then kkangsho shrimp and jjambbong. The "main" dishes are on the smaller side and similar to what is given during HH. The noodles however are huge! We were so stuffed and brought some of the noodles back home. The quality is excellent - I just wish it wasn't so far out!

    What a gem to find in Desert Ridge! The food and service was incredible. Food presentation was so artistic and talk about tasty! This restaurant is a foodie's dream come true! The pan fried dumplings were great. My Prawns with Mango were so delicious with a light but creamy sauce in which to dip the, (oh so lightly battered) huge prawns (6). My husband ordered Chile Garlic Fried Beef. A generous serving of spicy meat. We ordered chicken fried rice also which was a big surprise. A mound of perfect fried rice over which was a sliced seasoned chicken breast....a meal in itself! I did succumb to the fruit tart dessert. This was so beautifully presented it was a sin to destroy it. BUT I DID and it was awesome.

    Table and setting. Elegant Asian design.

    Live in Scottsdale and on a return from a trip across town my wife and I decided to stop by Desert Ridge and give Jin Jia a try. First thing that caught our eye was the design of the restaurant. Definitely gives an upscale vibe. We were there on a Tuesday night and it was pretty quiet, but seems like the type of place that could be poppin on a Friday and Saturday. From what I understand the food I'd Chinese-Korean fusion and the upscale Asian theme coincides with that. First the drinks...wife had a Citrus Blossom which was like a citrus flavored martini which was strong but very good/flavorful. I personally had an oolong caramel tea and it was one of the best teas I've ever had. I don't like sweeteners or anything in my tea and can say this was one of the most naturally flavorful teas I've ever tasted! We started our meal with their Prawn toast, which was excellent. It came out with 4 small circular "toasts" and looked a little small but were very dense and filling. For our main courses my wife ordered the Citrus Soy Chicken which was served cold along with some fried rice. I was skeptical at first of it being served cold but it was exceptionally flavorful and while the chicken is fried it was surprisingly light. I personally ordered the Spare Ribs which were AMAZING--tender, flavorful and spicy. We are trying to stay healthy and lose a little weight so we skipped dessert, unfortunately. Service was solid. The bartender and a single server were covering 5-6 tables together and both were friendly and attentive. We've always struggled to find a decent Asian place that we like out here, but Jin Jia will almost certainly become apart of our regular rotation.

    Pretend "Zha Jiang myeon" made with what tasted like spaghetti noodles dripping in oil. NO FLAVOUR. An insult to the inventor of this dish.

They weren't taking any more table reservations for the evening, but they added our name to the waitlist for bar seating and quoted us about an hour. We left to run a quick errand and returned just in time to be seated. The atmosphere was lively with live music, $2 oysters, drink specials all night, and their regular happy hour menu. We ordered a dozen oysters, ceviche, trout dip, tuna crispy rice (not on happy hour, but it's too good to pass up) and wine. Everything was fresh and delicious, just what we've come to expect from Buck & Rider. Even with the restaurant packed, the bartenders were friendly and attentive. The only unusual part of the evening happened before we even walked in. There was a woman passed out in the bushes outside covered in vomit. We mentioned it to the hostess when we checked in, and she let us know they were already aware of the situation and were handling it. Obviously, that's not something the restaurant can control, and it's definitely not something we've ever seen outside Buck & Rider before. Overall, it was another great visit. The food, drinks, atmosphere, and service were excellent, and Oyster Day is definitely worth checking out if you're an oyster lover.

    My wife and I celebrated my birthday with dinner here and we had an absolute wonderful experience…read more It was our first time dining here but it definitely will not be our last. The service was top tier. I wish customer service like this existed everywhere. Hannah was outstanding. She was welcoming, attentive, and helped make our night even more enjoyable. She didn't linger but somehow always knew when to check back on us as soon as we needed something. We're always weary of trying out a new restaurant for the first time but dinner was spectacular. Everything we ordered was so delicious and cooked to delectable perfection. High compliments to the chef! Appetizer: Warm Bread Basket - A must have! The bread was so scrumptious that it doesn't even need the delicious whipped butter. But the butter was so amazing it was hard not to smother every morsel of bread with it. Fantastic appetizer option. Entrees: 1/2lb Dutch Harbor King Crab Legs - Served with perfectly cooked asparagus, potatoes, and the usual side of melted butter. My wife said the butter that the crab is cooked in/served with was so phenomenal that she didn't have the need to dip into the side butter. I chose this restaurant because my wife loves crab legs and these absolutely delivered. The meat was sweet and succulent, and most importantly, they tasted fresh! Filet Mignon (8oz) - Delicious and perfectly seasoned! Exactly cooked how my wife ordered it and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Willow Bend Lamb - I can't rave enough about how exquisite this was. I was worried the chops were going to be too large but the portion size was spot on to my liking. The roasted garlic thyme jus it's served with is rich, savory, and a great compliment to the tender and juicy chop. I would order this again and again. Sides: Parmesan Truffle Fries and Smoked Gouda Tater Tots - It's hard to mess up a potato but somehow Ocean Prime was able to make it even more delicious. The fries had a perfect balance of crisp and tender, and the parmesan truffle flavor was the cherry on top. Wonderful aftertaste and surprisingly pairs well with crab legs. The tots had a perfect crisp exterior and a fluffy inside. The offerings are generous so 1 side would suffice for 2 people. Every bite was scrumptious and a definite recommend for the table. Cocktails: My wife also had the Berries & Bubbles cocktail. Well, it was so yummy that she had 2 of them. I had a sip and although I'm not a vodka fan, I can attest that it was indeed yummy. The dry ice is a nice touch and adds to the beauty and appeal of this drink. The drink is poured at the table (Hannah is clearly a pro at it). It was like a dinner and a show! Dessert: We were offered to choose a dessert on-the-house to celebrate my birthday. We ordered the Warm Butter Cake for the table and a Chocolate Torte to go. Hannah was kind enough to comp both of them for us! The Warm Butter Cake was AMAZING! From the delicious ice cream served on top to the gooey buttery velvety center of the cake with a perfectly crisped edge, it was everything you'd want in a dessert and more. I'm sure it's the star of the dessert menu. I've yet to make it to the torte but I've no doubt I'll be swimming in chocolatey goodness when I do. Lastly, I had flowers delivered to the restaurant to surprise my wife, and I asked if they would please have them set at the table prior to our arrival. They were able to receive the delivery before opening time and were placed perfectly in the middle of our table (booth seating). I'm so grateful for how they accommodated my request and helped me execute a wonderful surprise that gained a beautiful smile from my wife. 10/10 experience. Five stars all across the board. Worth every dollar spent. I highly recommend Ocean Prime for any and all events, or if you're simply just looking for a delicious meal.

The Caesar salad was very good, and the crab cake was excellent--easily the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the scallops were disappointing, arriving cold and noticeably tough. On the positive side, the carrot cake was outstanding and a great way to end the evening. The restaurant was surprisingly quiet during our early dinner reservation, so we expected attentive service. Instead, the service was slow and inattentive throughout the meal, which was disappointing given the restaurant's reputation and pricing. Overall, there were some bright spots, but the inconsistent food quality and poor service made for an underwhelming Father's Day experience.

    Words don't do this place justice!…read more The service was so on point and they all work as a team. Multiple people will check on you, clear the table, and refill anything you need. The overall place is super cute, quaint, and not loud so you can actually hear your table conversation. The food....delicious! I'll start off by saying those OYSTER BITES are money! My friend and I ordered multiple and I would have ordered more if we didn't have a place to be afterwards. I'm definitely ordering this every single time. The Tuna carpaccio was to die for, I would order this every time! The Lobster croissant was interesting, the lobster itself was so juicy and buttery, I didn't care much for the croissant or shrimp on it. The caviar chips were good but I wouldn't order them again, it was more chips than anything else. The drinks were sooooo good! If you don't know what to order the staff is very knowledgeable and can help guide you. A message for the owners: I absolutely love the concept! You two are extraordinary and I hope you don't change a thing at either of your restaurants. All of them are fantastic. The quality of food is outstanding and the way you train your staff is beyond amazing.

We also ordered their mashed potatoes. The service, while very friendly and helpful with the menu...went downhill from there. You might roll your eyes at the first one but we asked if they could split the two meals up as we were sharing. No, the kitchen can't do that. They can't plate it on two separate plates? Ok. Whatever. But then they brought out the pasta and shrimp and we waited quite some time, at least 10 minutes for the halibut. Reminded 2 servers that we also ordered potatoes and those came 5 minutes after the pasta. This was just not good. Since we waited, though we at half the pasta, the reminder was lukewarm at best. The potatoes finally came, weren't great, maybe they left out the gruyere? We had a few bites but with the elevated flavors of everything else it just fell short. I mentioned it and it was just ignored. Food coming out at different times, didn't like one dish - at least act like you care. This was our first time, and the food was sooooo good, I'll definitely be back but I do hope they take the service up a notch. I highly recommend having the staff read unreasonable hospitality, the food they served deserves it.

    Second visit to Tia. On a Marriott junket which included dinner at the JW. Went early so didn't…read moresee much action but really enjoyed our meals. Wifey started with the strawberry salad which was very large and had a wonderful dressing. Easily could have feed two. Went with the lamb entree which was cooked to perfection. Three chops presented on cauliflower mash and mint herbs. Superb choice. I took a step of faith and tried the Wagu beef appetizer. It was terrific. Chunks of beet on short skewers and wrapped with a large basal leaf. The beef itself was exceptionally good. For an entree, I went with the New York strip with a side of asparagus and off the cobb corn elote. The strip was slightly overcooked, I ordered medium and it came well done. Bummer! Asparagus was very grilled and tender. We wrapped up the meal with two pieces of Flan topped with coconut. Delightful ! Restaurant is a little unusual with respect to layout but very functional. Service, by Mel, was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed our experience. Bring your wallet. High recommend without any reservations.

Service was good, food took a little while but it was beautiful on the patio so we didn't mind enjoying our time together. Food was okay. The tri tip kabob was a 10/10. Guac was good, their specialty chicken dish was not my favorite and my wife got the chicken tacos which she thought were decent. Overall it was fine, wasn't bad but wasn't worth the price.

We decided to order a cup of clam chowder each to start off with and for our main entrees, we ordered a cold lobster roll and a shrimp po boy. The chowder was a bit disappointing for our preferences. However, both the lobster roll and the shrimp po boy were fantastic in both taste and quality! The lobster roll looked smaller than others I've had before but it was absolutely STUFFED with sizable chunks of lobster meat. I would definitely come back for another one in the future. What I really appreciated about this place was that for a fast-casual dining experience, the service was very friendly and attentive from start to finish. Even though this establishment is considered fast-casual dining the vibe inside didn't feel like it based on the décor and cleanliness. Not only do they have plenty of indoor seating options, but they also have a sizable outdoor patio.

I would love to go for happy hour and apps, the environment is very lively with outdoor seating when the weather is nice! We started with the Trio of Dips, the whipped ricotta was delicious and the sourdough loaf was amazing and still warm. Great way to start your meal! The Portuguese Stew was our favorite dish, the white fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce paired perfect with the vegetables and fish. I ate it together with the rice, Calabrian chili, and herbs that came with it. The short rib agnolotti was another great dish that melted in your mouth and had a great cambozola cheese that added a lot of flavor. Great visit, look forward to going back!

Modern has truly risen to become the new Dominic's, with its rustic wooden interior reminiscent of an old mafia movie. The warm ambiance invites you to indulge in a steak dinner or savor a glass of wine. Our waiter, with his warm smile and Aussie accent, made the experience even more enjoyable. He expertly explained the dishes being served and couldn't resist cracking a smile between dinner services. The happy hour menu boasts an incredible selection of crab cakes, muscles, or a simple Caesar salad. But let's not forget their signature martinis, which are simply fabulous.

Where things really took a turn was the food. I was so hoping I found a new staple in our walkable restaurants list but the food was mostly disappointing. We liked our fairly standard French onion soup and Caesar salad. The shrimp cocktail were not good at all. Shrimp was tough and mealy. They marinate them with a bunch of herbs. Maybe that caused the unpleasant texture? On top of that, I did not like the herbs used in the marinade. Good shrimp cocktail stands on its own! I should also add that these were $7/each. A week later I had the most amazing shrimp cocktail - tender and sweet and almost double the size for $4/each. I don't mind paying $7. I've paid $13 each for good shrimp cocktail. Just a lot of money to spend on something so disappointing. Our sea bass was also tough. Flavor was okay. The piece was fairly thin - possibly why it was overcooked? For those who love sea bass, I suggest checking it out at SumoMaya or Dominick's. Can't be beat! Sadly, I don't think we'll be back. Too many other excellent options nearby.
