Rick R.

I've been missing Jing's, and they were closed fo4 three months, while they visited family in China, so I was happy to get last night! They've been open 15 years! I wanted to order 8 menu items, but I used a little sekf control and ordered 3 and my friend ordered 2, and we shared everything, so that worked out alright. We started with the Scallion Pancakes, and they were amazing! Crisp, soft, chewy, with a buttery flavor from the oil. We LOVED them! The Guotie (pronounced go-TAY) are essentially pork pan-fried dumplings, which are always a good idea. These were on the former secret menu, but dumplings are on the current menu, so order them pan-fried and you should be set. The Shanghai Eggplant is a colorful and delicious dish and served with steamed rice. All the entrees include steamed rice. We ordered 3 entrees, so they served is a larger bowl of rice, rather than 3 separate cups of rice. The steamed fish with scallion and ginger was tender and the sauce was savory with a hint of sweetness. It was cooked perfectly! The Shanghai Duck has crispy skin and is served with some pieces having bone in them, which they told me up front, and I'm telling you now, and a side of sauce that I believe was plum sauce. The duck was good, but the sauce took it to another level of YUM! Hard to pick a favorite entree, but maybe the Shanghai Eggplant only because it was presented differently than I expected and I loved the color contrasts. The Scallion Pancakes are a MUST! Jing's is open for dinner only, and offers dine-in, carry-out, and delivery. They are open Tuesday through Saturday. Jing's is still one of my top 3 favorite Milwaukee Chinese restaurants!

Ordered takeout from here. Amazing lady at the front. So friendly. Amazing!!! I couldn't recommend it faster.

Ma Po Tofu
Samantha R.

I finally found out where this place was when I was looking for something else. There is, in fact, authentic Chinese food in downtown Milwaukee, you just have to look for it a little bit. It's across from Shake Shack and Aloha Poke. There is signage you can see from the street, but if you were just walking up Water you wouldn't know unless you were looking for it. I came to try the buffet but they apparently don't offer it on Saturdays. That's fine because they did have the Chinese menu. The names of the dishes are in English, so it's not intimidating if you don't know Chinese. I got the Ma Po tofu and then an egg drop soup and some jasmine tea. The soup was nothing unexpected but it was good. I kind of wanted to try the hot and sour because of the reviews, but I didn't want something too similar to the Ma Po, flavor-wise. The Ma Po tofu was really good. I didn't detect any meat but the dish wasn't missing any flavor. The sauce soaked into the rice nicely but there wasn't too much of it, and it was pleasantly spicy but not mouth-burning. The space is small. It's not fancy but it's pleasant and the staff are really nice. They're also one of the few places around to offer soup dumplings, so maybe one day I'll get the courage to try those.

Chinese Menu (authentic)
Becky Q.

First things first, I want to say that my review will be reflective of their AUTHENTIC Chinese Menu, which may be the disconnect between my 5/5 and the overall average rating if this place. If you're looking for authentic Chinese options (which is hard to come by in Milwaukee) then this is definitely a good option and I would recommend you trying it out! If you're looking for orange chicken you can read the next review because this one aint it I came here with a friend and the service was friendly, you could tell the food was freshly made to order, and it was delicious! I got the Malaysian Curry Tofu and the Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings). Both dishes were really good! The curry sauce was SO good, there's just something so satisfying dunking your rice in good curry y'know? The Xiao long bao I could tell were freshly steamed because they were nice and hot in the steamer basket and took 15-20 mins for it to come out. The broth and filling was good! To my knowledge this is the only place that I've been able to find that has soup dumplings, other than MomoMee, and this place's was MUCH better. All in all I'm going to keep coming back here, especially for the soup dumplings!

Chicken Lomein
Scott K.

First and possibly last time I will be getting food from this restaurant. Ordered the Chicken Lomein for delivery. It is completely tasteless, has no veggies in it, barely sauced. Has a very weird smell to it as well. I cannot say this enough, but NOT good. Yuck. No bueno.

Daughter recommended this place for dinner tonight and WOW! Glad she did. Not only were they fast but Everything we ordered was so good. The double pork was amazing, the sweet and sour chicken even without the sauce is delicious. Pot stickers were great. Will definitely eat here again and will tell friends and family.

Trying the Jings special w shrimp today
Pamela M.

So I really wanted egg rolls. I also counter dude for egg rolls. He says No egg rolls. After I placed my order counter Dude says the spring rolls are deep fried like egg rolls. Too late, dude. Order placed. Also, I like the traditional wrapper of the egg roll, anyway. The spring roll dough just seems to retain the oil more. Dohn-like-it So I get the Jings Special! Hey, when it's named after the place it has to be one of the best dishes, right? It's $15. The stuff comes out in like 1.2 minutes. Huh? How? Wher? Wha? Ok, I get it: there's a psychic in back. (Who's abilities failed on the egg rolls) This can't be fresh. Then I get home and open sesame. Why is it so light? Why isn't the container full? It was 15 bucks! Boo. 15 bucks at a Chinese joint should be two meals. Also, it was shrimp and onions and green peppers. That is it for veggies. Onions, the cheapest thing you can buy and the thing I dislike most - bell peppers. You know ... Might not be a "terrible" idea to list out the ingredients in the menu 'cause if I knew this I would not have ordered it or asked for different vegetables. There felt like pieces of tail or shell or something mixed in there, too. I kept feeling weird pieces of things in my mouth. The "spicy" sauce was pretty good - nice spice level. Probably won't go back, no value for me at all here.

Chinese menu bean sprouts...I think they are from a soy plant.  Very tasty!

Does this place still serve soup dumplings? (Not dumpling soup, it's a dumpling with broth inside the pouch).

Yes, still serve the dumpling soup.

This was only my second time at a Korean bbq spot, we really enjoyed it. Our group opted to just do…read morethe bbq and not the hot pot. We ordered the bulgogi, steak cubes, pork belly, spicy pork belly, beef tongue, rib meat, shrimp, creamy corn, fried buns, and a few other smaller items. The meat was all good quality! Our tables' favorite meat was the bulgogi for sure. We also loved the creamy corn and fried buns. However, beef tongue was so tough though I couldn't even bite into it (but honestly wasn't expecting to enjoy it!). The sauce bar was a fun touch to get exactly what we each liked. It was a little tricky being in a booth and getting people out to make their sauce combos though but we made it work. There is also a dessert bar but nothing was super intriguing to us and we were pretty full from the meal. The only downside was the service. Other servers seemed awesome but our waitress was totally aloof. She missed multiple orders of ours and we had to reorder those, and she acted super confused each time we had to tell her. She didn't give any direction on the process, and each time we wanted to add to the order we had to wave her down. I don't think she proactively checked on us once. A table nearby had the hotpot and that looked really good. We were intrigued and want to come back and try it. All in all, a great experience, and $31 per person for the amount of food you can rack up felt like a really good deal.

Plenty of space for parking in the back. Dark, smoky atmosphere with Asian interior designs. Perfect ambiance for BBQ! We had both Korean BBQ & hot pot, absolutely worth the price for both. The BBQ was by far everyone's favorite. We recommend the beef bulgogi, beef short ribs, and pork belly--these were the best for BBQ. Since it was all you can eat, we had a few servings of them. There was also a counter for different types of sauce one could get and a dessert section. The hot pot was great as well. We recommend the bone broth and the fish/shrimp/meatballs with it as well as udon noodles. The service was great overall. Our server was busy, but she managed to be attentive with us. We left with our belly full. We will absolutely come back.

It hits all the…read moreflavor and texture profiles I usually want and they are really quick about cooking the food to order. The staff is always very nice and if they are busy for some reason, they even have kiosks to order from as well. I'm Korean and love me some Korean fried chicken wings, but going here means I do not have to make them, make a mess in my kitchen, or have to spend time prepping everything beforehand. Yes, I know these are Karaage but they are very similar. I usually get the boneless wings just because I am weird and do not like having sticky fingers when I am eating, so these I can eat with a fork. The crispiness is always spot-on and I love that they give you just enough sauce to give everything a good coat and flavor but not too much that the chicken is drowning. I also really love the rice cakes that they add into the tenders and wings, it's like a nice little chewy treat to go with everything. Their fries are a LOT of fries! My wife and I have learned we can share one order of them. They have a bunch of varieties of seasonings you can add to the fries but I tend to get mine plain and just eat it with ketchup. I love coming here and their little outdoor patio is great when I want to bring my pup or just enjoy the nice fresh air as we eat our meal.
