    First time at this gem and it was amazing. Fast and friendly service and the food was outstanding. I also love that they've been around for 17 years! Love supporting local! Definitely recommend trying this place out again and again.

    I'm as Caucasian as they come but, even I know this is not any type of mein. Lo or chow.
    Jonathan J.

    Tasted fine, pretty good and reasonable prices but three starts because my order was wrong. I ordered chicken lo mein from their website, rang up as chicken chow mein and received pork fried riced with a scoop of chop suey. There was no lo or chow in it. The egg roll and no-crab rangoons were okay. Still not a bad place for lunch.

    Best Chinese take-out in the Charlotte area! Their food is delicious and the owners/staff are so kind and friendly. I sat and watched them share their own food with customers after being asked what they were eating. Great food, great vibe!

    Beef and broccoli add garlic and ginger

    This is my favorite go to Chinese. They even take my request to add garlic and ginger to my stir fry's. Egg rolls are basic

    Small 43. Shrimp Lo Mein - Small
    Malika E.

    I ordered delivery through door dash maybe 20 minutes prior to them closing. The food is hit or miss. We got one dinner plate, two egg rolls, and a small shrimp lo mein. The sesame chicken was great but our pork fried rice tasted burnt. Definitely was disgusting. The lo mein was dry but it wasn't bad. The best part were the egg rolls. They do not offer dine in at the moment. Either delivery or order at the window. The small lo mein is extremely small for the price but I'm from the south and our small containers are larger.

    Jin Jin is my #1 go to for Chinese food in the area! Over a year ago, I saw great reviews for Jin Jin and had to try them out...they did not disappoint! I'm typically a creature of habit, so I normally get the same things. But with all 4-6 items that I get (mix and match), they are always on point! Jin Jin is located in Huntersville, close to many other establishments such as Publix, Woodie's Auto, Wells Fargo, etc. They have a great pandemic setup (cannot go into the restaurant), with a kiosk/window for pickups and ordering. Whether you call in or order at the window, the staff is great, friendly and always gets the order right. Try them out and you will not be disappointed with service or taste!

    Chicken broccoli, Sesame Chicken, fried rice, egg roll

    Sesame chicken, chicken & broccoli, and steamed dumplings were amazing! Staff/owners were super nice when we went to pick it up too. Great place!

    I didn't realize how hard it is to find an egg roll without pork around my side of town but thankfully after a few calls I found Jin Jin and crossed my fingers as I attempted to satisfy this craving. They're currently set up for window only orders during the pandemic. The menu is pretty extensive and is very similar to the chinese spots we have back in VA. I ordered 2 shrimp egg rolls and a veggie fried rice(broccoli, onions, carrots, mushrooms) and thankfully the rolls hit the spot and the rice would have been great but there was lots of grease at the bottom of the container. I actually returned the following week for more shrimp egg rolls, they were really good. The reviews are pretty mixed so I'm not ready to try anything else at the moment.

    I have never done a review like this before. I'm writing the first half of the review before I eat the food. I ordered General Tso's Chicken with white rice and a quart of Wonton Soup. I love Chinese food but don't eat it much because there aren't many great options in the area. Jin Jin used to be a good option, but their blinds being crooked for years turned me off. On the other hand, it's impeccably clean inside, and I have a broken blind in my house (not viewable from street), so I can't judge. The last time ate Jin Jin was on my son's birthday (4/21). That was Sesame Chicken with white rice, Lo-Mein, and Wonton Soup. I wasn't impressed that day, but I had birthday cake on my mind. Will continue this review at home after eating. Update: General Tso's Chicken: Very Good Wonton Soup: Pretty Good White Rice: It's white rice Noodles: Some were stale Service: Friendly Blinds: Crooked A generous 4.

    Paid extra for "all white meat" and instead i got "all breading" Why is it to much to ask? I just want actual meat with my General Chicken.. Egg rolls were good. Walk-up window very nice COVID touch.

    The fried rice is absolutely delicious! It was full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and tasted fresh…read moreand homemade. I especially loved the beef steak -- it was juicy, tender, and seasoned really well. The combination of the steak with the fried rice was amazing. The pastries that came with the meal were also a wonderful surprise: warm, soft, and very tasty. Everything was served beautifully, and the portion size was generous. The atmosphere and service made the experience even better. I would definitely come back again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal!

    I hadn't eaten here for about a decade but I was in the area so gave it a shot…read more At first, I wasn't going to give it a shot because there is a beat-up printer paper on the door--usually not a good sign. I went back to my car and looked up reviews before driving away. Most of the reviews were good. At that moment, I made a decision: "We're going in!" Even though 'we' is just me. Don't judge; I'm sure you do the same from time to time: consciously or subconsciously. I ordered a Quart of Wonton Soup (very exciting) and Roast Pork Lo Mein (pretty cool). The wait was 10-15 minutes and I paid ahead of time. It was $16 and change but the woman behind the counter stared with great anticipation if i would leave a tip. If I could go back, I wouldn't. For what? They're already marking up prices and this part was strange. Not a fan. Fortunately, the food was good. There were only five wontons (quart usually has 6-8) but it was very good!) The Roast Pork Lo Mein was also strong. It actually had too much Roast Pork for me. At this location, I might just get Chicken Lo Mein next time. But I have been seeing more TikToks with chickens on farms and they're pretty chill so maybe just Lo Mein. I would eat from here again. Hope that helped!

    It all started with missing white rice…read more I had been working all day and hadn't consumed Chinese food in about a year. I love Chinese food but I have been paying off debt like Al Capone wanted his loan-shark money back, which led to me going from 27.3k to currently 1.8k on my Discover within a year. This background is to let you know why I haven't been eating a lot of Chinese food. It has nothing to do with sodium. But this is about wonton soup, sesame chicken, lo mein, white rice, and a drunk guy (not me). All of the food items listed above were solid. And they are always solid across the board. I wouldn't put this restaurant as #1 for any of those individual items in Lake Norman but I do put them #1 for all food as a whole. In other words, Jin Jin has the best wonton soup but you only get four wontons and they aren't as good at other stuff, and it just doesn't seem as clean--Huang's Chef is impeccably clean. Huang's China Bistro in Cornelius has the best sesame chicken but their lo mein and wonton soup aren't quite as good (still very good though). Lotus on River Hwy (Rt 150) has the best lo mein but not quite as good on the other stuff (but still very good). Huang's Chef (Mooresville) is a solid 9.0 across the board so it's where I order most. But the time prior to this one, I drove all the way to Huntersville and they forgot my white rice. This isn't a major issue but it kind of does ruin the experience after spending $30 for one person on dinner. Fortunately, they gave me a free pint of wonton soup the next time I went in. I was so excited to eat their food again that I ordered when driving by and had to wait. While outside and thinking I was alone on the strip-mall sidewalk, I practiced pronouncing "Huang's Chef." In order to do it, you need to inhale 5% on the "Huah" sound and exhale 95% on the "Wang" sound. I was getting good at it and repeating, "Huah-Wang's Chef ... Huah-Wang's Chef" while pacing, but a dude from from Marty's Bar popped out to smoke a cigarette and looked at me funny. "Just practicing," I said while nodding to indicate all was normal. "For what?" he laughed. I could tell he was one of those friendly drunk guys. "Huah-Wang's Chef." He walked over to cut the distance between us in half and laughed while taking a drag of his cigarette. Tall and skinny guy mid-60s with scruff and loose clothes that fit his personality. "Huah-Wong's Chef," he said. "No," I corrected. "It's Wang." "No it ain't," he cackled. "It's Wong." "That would be the Cantonese version. That's not correct." "I don't eat cantaloupes." He just started cracked up at his own joke, which wasn't funny, but then funny because of how much he enjoyed it. Then he continued, "What if we just put it together and start our own Chinese restaurant called Wang-Wong!" Bar guys always talk about things like this but know they will never follow through, and I didn't want to start a Wang-Wong Chinese restaurant with a scruffy-looking drunk guy. I had the perfect out anyway because Huang's Chef told me 15 minutes and it was about that time. "Good to meet you, but I have to go get my food now at Huah-WANG'S Chef." "Wong!" he cackled again as I walked away. Anyway, I definitely recommend Huang's Chef. It's a good price with solid portions and quality taste across the board. The restaurant itself is one of the cleanest Chinese restaurants I have ever seen, which is always a good sign. Definitely recommended.

    I requested an upgrade in my order and they were not willing to do it, 1/10. Food is average, 5/10…read more The ambiance shows they lost the quality they had on the past, 5/10. Total score: 3/10. Now, my go-to Chinese food is a different one.
