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.

This was my second plate. I was so hungry I failed to get a pic of my first overloaded plate.

Stopped in here for the lunch buffet with some friends at work. This was actually our second attempt. The first time we went we had a group of seven and didn't realize there was such limited seating. This time we planned ahead and made reservations. I'm really glad we went! I generally don't care for buffets. The food is usually not kept hot enough and the food is usually bland. Not the case at Jing's! Everything was properly hot and very flavorful. It was a smaller buffet but everything was delicious! I especially liked the Singapore noodles and the chicken wings. The hot and sour soup, which is my favorite soup, was also quite good. They also had two other soups on the buffet, egg drop and a tofu vegetable, but I didn't try them because the hot and sour was so good! I will definitely be back for lunch and would love to try this place for dinner someday.

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.

Only wish they took reservations but usually the wait on a weeknight isn't too long. My favorite rolls are Smoky Rocky and Drogon. I also love their garden salad, gyoza, and soups. Parking on the street can be a bit tricky, I usually have to park a block or two away.

We were told it gets busy for dinner right away and with no reservations we decided to go right at dinner opening time. There was a line forming outside the door before they opened but luckily we were second in line and got seated right away. The staff is very friendly. They check on you often without rushing. Multiple people greeted us and then thanked us on the way out. All of their sushi options sounded delicious. I got the Very Crunchy. It was served with a fun presentation over dried ice. The sushi itself tasted amazing, even though sushi isn't my favorite. I got the Pad Thai for an entree and I honestly think it's some of the best Pad Thai I've had in a while in Milwaukee. The sauce to noodle ratio was spot on and the flavor was perfect with the right amount of spice. Portions were great as well. Overall, definitely make sure to stop by!

This is a fun place. Reminds me of some really great fun sushi restaurants I've been to in other…read moreparts of the country. It was pretty busy on a Friday night at 7pm. We came after visiting one of the nearby breweries. We were seated right away at the bar. I had a glass of the Black River sake and my boyfriend tried the Blossom of Peace. His was much sweeter and I was very happy with mine. They weren't served in traditional sake cups, just in regular wine glasses but this was good with me as they were a normal sized wine pour. They had a special for Bluefin Tuna. We shared the Nigiri trio by cutting each piece in half. My favorites were the two fattier cuts ( otoro, and chutoro ) I remember at this point we wished we had ordered another appetizer since the restaurant was busy and our main sushi rolls took a bit of time to arrive. We decided next time we would at least get the edamame in between plates. The rolls we ordered were the Ponzu Jello and Riverwest. The Riverwest description listed a smoky miso mayo which I did not notice a different from regular flavored mayo on a roll. The Ponzu Jello was unique and worth trying! The rolls were fat and very filling so we did not need to order more than two! I think we both agreed that the Riverwest roll was our favorite of the two. After that we noticed there was a special for some premium sake, so we ordered the G Joy. Very delicious, easy to drink and a perfect size to share. I will add this restaurant to my places to visit again!
