Same good lunch, same soup and salad, same menu, same cooks and best of all same price. The outside looks totally different in all black since remodel. Very hip looking without the extra cost. Nice music too. Love it. Do be afraid to come in. We all here. read more

Jin Ye - Eggplant garlic lunch. Yum. - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, California

Usually a renovation just means the same food and a way to get more money from the customers. I liked this place when it was Little China. The service was fast, the food was good and it was very quaint. All of that has changed now. It's basically just Panda Express with a different name and higher prices. If you're looking for lunch in point Richmond, All American Burger is going to be better read more

I just ordered my first meal at the Jin Ye and it won't be my last! I had wonton soup, kung pao beef, and green beans in black bean sauce. Everything is fresh, cooked to order, with vegetables cooked al dente. I took my order home and enjoyed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and my wonderful dinner within half an hour. I have plenty left over for tomorrow. The interior has dark walls, some artwork, and beautiful wooden tables. Simple, peaceful, and elegant. read more

Jin Ye - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, California

Great Chinese food ! Super friendly staff. They are my go-to when I crave Chinese style cuisine. Try them out you will not be disappointed !

Cockroach! Came here for lunch today. In the middle of our meal, a cockroach fell from the ceiling and landed next to one of our plates. The waitress came and grabbed it. No apologies, no comped meals, not even a discount! If you're looking for a little extra protein in your diet, this is your place. read more

This is quite possibly the best Kung Pao chicken I have ever eaten in my life and I've eaten it all over the world. It's the dish by which I judge all Chinese restaurants. The hot and sour soup was spectacular. The egg roll was awesome, too. The salad with the peanut sauce on it was the only thing that wasn't extra special. When I visit the SF area, this place jumped to the top of my list of places to eat. read more

They have the best lunch specials in town! Always a hefty amount of food for the price. The interior has been updated recently and it's very modern. read more

Such a great value with high quality ingredients! Lunch or dinner, you cannot go wrong if you're hankering for some classic American-Chinese food at a fair price! read more

Not a big fan of Chinese take out but this little place is great. Their food is fresh and always good. My favorite is the Miso Kale and salt and Pepper Green Beans! read more

Best Chinese in Richmond if you can find a parking spot. Great lunch specials for vegetarians too!

Nice to get quality Chinese with good ingredients that's not totally bad for you. Fresh vegetables and the chow mein seems well made. Regular spot when in the area read more

The ambiance is nice and the new furniture really elevates the look of the place. The sweet and sour pork with pork fried rice was good. The portion size was filling. read more

I've been going to this restaurant a few times a year for a number of years. The food has always been good average Chinese food and not expensive. However, the take out I bought a few days ago left me feeling as if I had just eaten food with too much MSG. Too much MSG used to be a big issue with restaurants, but with people opting for a healthier diet they mostly cut back. I can't say for certain that Jin Ye is using large amounts of MSG again, but it tasted that way to this customer. (For those of you who don't know what the effect of too much MSG is, it's like drinking too much black tea that makes you a little spacey and jittery coupled with a dry sensation in the mouth. Some people get headaches.) read more

I have been eating there frequently and other than the distinctly different interpretations of certain dishes I like their food perspective. I had their seafood clay pot and house chow fun last night and they were delicious. 5 spice ribs are a curiosity as they look like grey chalk-like rocks. The fried tofu was tasty. Beef with mushrooms was hearty. House won ton soup was a meal. Not a fan of their sweet and sour pork though, large balloon-like batter covered the pork snuffing out any possibility of the limited sauce to bail the dish out. Broccoli beef was fresh. I haven't come to a conclusion yet about the Eggplant in garlic sauce which either had too large stalks of eggplant or too weak a sauce than I am used to, a shame because it is a slam dunk almost anywhere else. read more

Delicious! We had the fried chicken, chicken chow fun, fried rice, veggie egg rolls, lemon chicken, and a few shrimp and veggie dishes- everything was really perfect. This spot is definitely going to be our new go-to Chinese place! read more

Ordered egg rolls, and ordered beef chow fun on a to go order. I was greeted with a smile when I walked in. Friendly, hot and fresh from phone call order to pick up. Thank you :-) read more

I was hoping when they revamped the menu that they would perhaps have more vegetarian options. Nope. In fact there were less. I decided to try the broccoli with hoisin sauce since that is a new offering. Very disappointing and lacking in flavor. It's a shame. I was really hoping to increase the options for vegetarians here in the Point. Alas, not to be. read more

Love this place. Small Chinese restaurant in pt Richmond. Recently renovated a few years. It's got delicious and affordable options!

Great Chinese food clean and fresh very nice to seat they remodeled the place not long time ago I would send over there people they like Chinese food. read more

I've been eating at Jin Ye even when it was called Little China. Tonight I had mushroom beef (oily and bland) and pot stickers (inedible). Really disappointed. read more

This is a wonderful spot. We ordered at the last minute and they took care of us above and beyond. They serve big portions and are very cheap with great quality food. read more

I really liked this place. Really good food and decent prices, a bit lower than some of my other East Bay favorites (Kirin, Shun yen) Favorite dish was scallops with ginger and garlic sauce. Excellent! read more

Yummy dinner. Friendly COVID pick up service. Easy, quick. Me, supporting another local business!!

I was excited for the new opening. I loved Little China as I did the *original* Red Pepper a decade ago, but though the place looks wonderful... It took well over an hour to get our food. And I had to ask about it. When we got home with the food, it was not as hot (warm) as in the past. Also, our order was messed up (one item was not what we ordered). The food was okay, but not as good as with Little China. Worse, my friend got sick from the Chow Faan. I'm not thrilled with the new recipes. They were pretty busy, and had more people on staff than I'd ever seen, but they seemed overwhelmed. Jin Ye, I miss Little China. read more

This used to be a great place to get cheap but tasty food. Nothing fancy but often just what I needed for a quick after work dinner. Now the restaurant reopened after a remodel and the food is about 20-30 percent more expensive, no complimentary tea either. My favorite dish isn't on the menu anymore. At this price I think they will loose a lot of their previous customers. Yes, the paint looks good but it's not worth such a high price increase. read more

If any Chinese food restaurant gets a 5 start this one gets 5 stars times 5 it's the best Chinese food you will ever have. The sweet and sour chicken is crispy not soggy like some restaurants. Our kids love this place my husband will drive us from Berkeley every time on a Sunday to eat there all the way in point Richmond. They are amazing the food even the people they are genuinely kind hearted people who serve with a smile and a nice attitude. Also it's beautiful when you walk in really modern and updated. Great location pretty area, nice walking area and quiet. read more

I've ordered from here before more than once & I really like the food. Never had a problem before. Tonight I ordered through DoorDash. My daughter decided she wanted some too after I ordered and I placed a second order. Around 6pm I got an email from DD saying my first order was cancelled because the restaurant was not taking orders/they could not be reached. I thought it was odd they would fill the second order and not the first especially since it was only 6pm and they close at 930pm! I called and explained I had 2 orders and she even read back to me my first order so I know they got it! I explained it was all going to the same address. She acknowledged that & I figured everything was fine. An hour later food comes but only the second order. I call back and ask if the other order is on the way. She said no. She said she told whomever ..the manager or kitchen that I had 2 orders but they said NO..I only had one. She said she told them more than once but they basically refused to make it! I asked if I had to reorder and she asked me for my address..bear in mind they just delivered to my house 5 minutes prior. Its only 7 pm and she says..no we don't deliver there. HELLO!? Am I taking crazy pills? They JUST delivered to my house! And the first order was more than the second one! Do they not want to make money?! So as much as I liked the food their customer service SUCKS! I have complained to DD and so far have not been charged for the first LARGER order. I was a regular customer but not anymore. You guys suck. Now I have to wait another hour for a different place to deliver and my kid is hungry. FYI I have arthritis so I can't just whip up dinner on my own. Today was a really bad and painful arthritis day and you guys made my day worse!! read more

Today is Chinese New Year. I came here tonight to get my Chinese food fix in since I didn't have time to cook it. First of all, they're really nice people when greeted at the door. Second, the inside looks great and very modern. And third, the food was delicious. I definitely recommend coming here to eat some yummy Chinese food! I am Chinese. And I gotta day, their food is BOMB. What my boyfriend and I had tonight was the fried tofu, wor wonton soup, house chow faan, beef chow fun, honey walnut prawns, orange chicken, and string beans with black bean sauce. Honestly, everything was great. We ordered a lot so we can try different things. My boyfriend LOVES orange chicken (I'm not a big fan lol. I think it's an American thing..? Haha jkay). Anyways. He said it tastes reaaaaally good compared to a lot of places. He even said it's better than this one Chinese restaurant that was his favorite. I did try it and it was crispy and then tender when you bite it. And the sauce was perfect I must say. Same thing with the fried tofu, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Also the sauce tastes really good with it too. The beef chow fun wasn't super oily like a lot of other places. And the noodles were fresh!! (It has to be or else it won't taste good) It was ON POINT. Definitely should get that. House chow faan is basically combination fried rice. And it was good because it wasn't super salty. The string beans were super delish and the sauce wasn't over powering. Everything was amazing. Great experience here. I wish I could try more! I will come back here for sure. I did compare their food to other places because other Chinese restaurants use a lot of sodium and they don't seem to do so here. It feels a lot lighter if that makes sense. Anyways! You should try this place out if you are looking for some yummy chinese food!! read more

I'm very unhappy with my visit. I disliked the food. And when I told the waitress that she would take the food off the bill and let me return it. This is very unprofessional. Why would you make some one pay for something they aren't eating. And her reason was "well you ordered it ". I wouldn't have ordered it if I knew it was nasty. The sauce was too watery. And the chicken was to slimy. Horrible service. read more

Renovation looks good, but you will be paying for it. Long time customer, 15 years plus, will not be returning. Food has always been decent but with these prices just too much. Could have bought Sushi for this price. Sad to say I will not be returning. Good Luck with pricing San Francisco in Richmond. read more

Their take out box is tiny compared to eating in. Don't get ripped off and sit down. Eat a bit. And ask for a To go box. RIDICULOUS
