We just discovered Jing's and we are hooked! Owners are so friendly, service was prompt and attentive, and the atmosphere is warm. We enjoyed the tofu and vegetable soup, orange chicken, and shanghai eggplant. The owner suggested the scallion pancakes, steamed fish, and sautéed string beans for next time. Whether for takeout, delivery, or dining in, this place is 10/10 for high quality Chinese food. read more

Jing's - warm & inviting dining room - Chinese Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

We love ordering Jing's for takeout. It's easy to walk to and is always ready within 15-20 minutes of ordering. It's affordable, convenient and delicious. My personal favorite is the Lo Mein and I get that every time! The orange chicken has a little spice to it, which I love. This is our go to Chinese takeout in the third ward area. read more

Jing's - Veggie Lo Mein and Orange Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Lovely food with a surprising depth of flavor. It seems most people carry out, but there is a spacious dining room.

I don't understand how this place has 3.5 stars. The food is always amazing, it comes out hot and fast, the service is always spot on, and it's always full in there. It's perfectly lit, very cozy. It's not super fancy but it's way nicer than your average Chinese restaurant, overall a very comfortable and inviting atmosphere. We came in on a Saturday evening, calling ahead for a reservation. We shared a crab Rangoon, and got Mongolian beef and crispy chili chicken to share, both were excellent. The server suggested that we add bok choy to our order, and that was very delicious as well. Great food, great service, great ambience. We'll be back. read more

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! read more

Jing's - Chinese Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Jing's is the best Chinese food in Milwaukee. It checks all of the boxes. The ambiance is perfect. It's relaxed but nice, a great vibe for a date or family dinner. Everyone working there is welcoming, friendly, and on their game. Orders were taken and food came out fast. The food... How the heck do they make the beef so tender? It blows my mind everytime. It's all delicious and it sounds corny but you can really taste the love. It's homey, nourishing, and expertly prepared. I am already looking forward to the next time I go! read more

Delicious + great service = left satisfiedand will come back for sure very relaxing atmosphere .

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. read more

We showed up to dine in person and they seemed surprised. We had to tap a bell before someone showed up. The server was that same person and it seemed like we were an inconvenience. The portions were small for the money. Seems like they prefer their carry out model where there is no contact. They turned some lights on for us and closed the kitchen door. I wouldn't go there of you want Chinese. read more

We had such a wonderful time here!!! Excellent food, terrific service. Very fair pricing! Owners are great and take a lot of pride in their restaurant. We'll definitely be back!!! read more

Now this is a local restaurant that puts out good food! The Shrimp Fried Rice was Very tasty. If Beef and Broccoli is a favorite of yours, get it here and thank me later! Tender beef and perfectly cooked broccoli. Crab Rangoon was crispy and flavorful. Prices are very reasonable. I wish I could relocate this restaurant to my neighborhood in Cincinnati. read more

I think what keeps this restaurant busy its convenient location to those who live in Third Ward. The restaurant has been recently closed for a few month so I was really looking forward to trying it for the first time. I have tried numerous Chinese restaurants in the area and they vary. Some taste like Chinese fast food but overall still a nice garlicky flavor and some with some higher end flavors. Some have lunch specials, some have one size, some of the more carry out focused restaurants sell quart and pint. So which one is Jing's on a Saturday evening? Well, I was extremely disappointed. We had carry out, I ordered the chicken in garlic sauce and the other chicken was sweet and sour. We also ordered spring rolls. Well, the size of my garlic chicken order was smaller than a lunch special in some local Chinese restaurants. The flavor was OK. It is not that I need endless left overs, but not feeling constrained about having seconds should not be a sentiment. Or if they specialize in small portions, great, but the prices should reflect somewhat the portion that you are getting. I was getting roughly $7 worth of food for for $14. Understood that rents are higher in the Third Ward and so on, but this price differential is somewhat absurd. No, the don't need to have the same price and portion as another more outlying area, but again, this was a huge difference. The spring rolls also were not interesting, they tasted as if they were out of a frozen Costco bag. They also forgot to give us the hot mustard. It is a pity that such a great location has to be a disappointment. Did they have an off night and run out of food? I doubt it based on some of the other reviews. read more

Best Chinese food I have ever had. Quit ambiance and friendly, efficient staff. Top notch.

The chicken fried rice was average we asked for spicy but it tasted rather plain. The chicken egg foo young was average The chicken was average The spring rolls were delicious The customer service was great The bathrooms were very clean We were hungry we just expected better tasting food Disappointed read more

Jing's - a statue of a man standing in front of a red wall - Chinese Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

A gloomy option for subpar chinese carry out. It used to offer dine in, but doesn't appear to now. Anyway, i couldn't imagine eating in the dark, empty space. First warning sign was that I was apparently the only order at 6 pm on a busy restaurant night. As for the food, yikes. The fried rice with pork included ham chunks. How weird. I know ham is pork, but cmon. The other dishes were 1970s versions of Chinese food. Tasteless, unappealing. We ate a little and tossed the rest. Make it taste better! You're selling food! We know what food is supposed to taste like! read more

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! read more

We actually wait for them to be open. The food is that good. The pricing is within our means and every bite is worth it!!

Checked with website to verify their hours and then gathered a lunch order for the office. When I called to place the order, the restaurant's voicemail advised that they do not open until 330 p.m. for takeout and delivery orders. That would have been helpful information to have on their website and would have saved me a whole lot of trouble. I had to quickly find another place that could make $75 worth of food as to not have a band of pitchfork-toting co-workers at my office door. Jing's failure is China Gourmet's gain! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Jing's - a table full of food - Chinese Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

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. read more

Fresh Chinese? Sounds like an oxymoron but Jing's definitely delivers and physically delivers to Bay View (my neighborhood). Until last week I had only had delivery from Jing's. I went there with a friend to try to the lunch buffet. Typically a Chinese lunch buffet is not fresh and tends to be greasy. The buffet was not huge but had some great quality items. The spicy dishes were actually spicy as stated which is not typical. One of my favorite entrees is their rice noodle with beef. The noodles are made fresh and the beef is done to perfection. I have had other dishes but this is definitely my favorite. The only downside is that the prices are a little bit higher than most places; however, you get what you pay for in freshness. Also, like any good Chinese restaurant they have a Chinese menu which is always the most authentic. read more

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. read more

Jing's - This was my second plate. I was so hungry I failed to get a pic of my first overloaded plate. - Chinese Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I was pleasantly surprised with Jing's. I had never had it before, but it came recommend as a good Chinese takeout place in the Third Ward. We ordered it to go, and the food was ready within 20 minutes. I got the vegetable fried rice which was excellent!! Not too salty and a decent amount of vegetables (could've had more, but that's just my personal preference). The size was perfect for a single serving; I was very hungry so was able to finish the entire thing myself. It is reasonably priced (about $10 for this), which is worth it to me for getting good quality food. The location seemed clean which also made it worthwhile. I will defiantly be back! read more

Jing's - Vegetable Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This place recently opened up in Milwaukee and we wanted to try it out! The crab Rangoon's are really really good and the food. I've had the Kung Pao chicken and the sesame chicken. They both were really good. They come with white rice and not fried. The Kung Pao isn't as spicy as I thought it would be. They tax and charge each item when you order here and charge for sweet and sour sauce, so order that ahead of time with your order if you want it. I've picked up food here and I've also had delivery. I've had deliveries multiple times from here and the delivery driver was BEYOND rude and disrespectful. The owner is a good deliverer but the young male employee we had was horrible, other than that it's a good place for Chinese food. Especially the crab ragoons. read more

Came here with a friend because we saw that they had a lunch buffet. Upon entering, the place looked very classy. However, as a vegetarian I would say there aren't the best options. The soups are great, rice is good and the nnoodles are good. But they could whip up some general tso's tofu or some garlic broccoli so there can be something that can be eaten with the rice. Though I was disappointed about that, the food was delicious and the waiters were very quick to remove plates. Parking is always an issue in this area. read more

This place was good but just very average. Ordered the tofu soup and tofu house special. The soup was very bland and lacked any kind of flavor. It was especially bland when I went back to eating it after the spicy tofu house special. Would not recommend getting this - especially for the price at $5+.... wish I went for the spring rolls or dumplings. The tofu house special was good but again pretty standard. The entire meal was $20+ which seems extremely high for both the portion size and quality of the meal provided. I think you could find better bang for your buck elsewhere. They did prepare the food pretty quickly so if you're in a rush or a desire for quick decent Asian food this could be your spot! read more

Hidden Gem I've been here a few times and really should stop in more. They have a great lunch buffet that is kept well-stocked with your standard offerings - fried rice, fried chicken, chicken wing, pot stickers, steamed broccoli, crab rangoon. You won't be hungry when you walk out the door and you don't smell like a chinese place. Super quick in and out. Reasonable prices and attentive staff. read more

Best Chinese I've had yet in Milwaukee, good enough to quit trying places I haven't yet, this is it for me. Have had delivery to east side near UWM a few times, they've gotten there as quick as 20 min from ordering and never longer than they said it would take. I've tried the beef & broccoli, sesame chicken, Mongolian beef, spring rolls, sweet and sour chicken and everything has been fantastic. I look forward to going through the entire menu and will update post with thoughts as I do. Sauces are great, high quality beef and chicken. Look forward to visiting the lunch buffet sometime too. read more

Great atmosphere!! Great people!! Even better food. We definitely recommend this restaurant it was amazing.

We were hungry for Chinese food and staying downtown Milwaukee for a concert and mini-vacation and decided to order in after running around all day. Jings was recommended to us as a good option. They had delivery which was terrific! The person on the phone was friendly and helpful, and very efficient which I always appreciate :) The delivery came pretty fast after we ordered (about 30 minutes) and the food was hot :) We ordered the spring rolls (crunchy but not our favorite item), Crab Rangoon (good), and the Potstickers (excellent!). We also ordered the Cashew Chicken (could have been good but actually had no flavor at all but plenty of sauce...not sure what happened there), and Mongolian beef (which was pretty tasty). Overall, it helped with our craving, but needed a bit of work on flavoring. There wasn't a lot going on with the flavor, but the service was friendly and fast and they delivered which was awesome! read more

Very good Cantonese plus a few other regions represented on the menu. Food is fairly priced. We do home delivery. Food is always fresh & warm. Service is great and delivery is fairly quick in the downtown area. We live in the Burns Commons neighborhood. read more

By far, the best Chinese Food in Milwaukee. I have tried quite a few and there is none that come close. It's in the quality of how it's made. I actually ate here 3 times on the first week and now it's a weekly routine. My review is strictly on the food which all that should matter when eating out. read more

So this is interesting. I just dined here and I am now reading the reviews. Many people comment that this is standard Chinese food. Before we went to Jing's I looked at the pictures and noticed the soup dumplings and Zah Jiang Noodles so I asked about them. Low and behold, yes they had both and it was not on the menu because they were both on the "Chinese" menu. Yes please. Give me items off the Chinese menu. The Soup Dumplings were made in house and as good as NYC Chinatown. All of our food was fresh, authentic and delicious including the Kung Pao Chicken. We also had the Spring Rolls which were the freshest rolls we've ever had. I suggest the owners print the Chinese menu in English and give it to every table. And I suggest the patrons order off of it! read more

Jing's - Authentic amazing Soup Dumplings! - Chinese Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This is the best choice in Milwaukee for authentic Shanghai style food! The soup dumplings are a delicious appetizer. They are dumplings with soup sealed inside - be patient or you will burn your tongue. My family always gets 2 or 3 entrees to share family style since we can never decide on just one item. The Jing's special with shrimp is our favorite dish. You can't go wrong with the Ma Po tofu dish. Ask for chili sauce if you want to heat things up. I travel to China a lot and this place is close to the real thing - but the quality of the meat is much better than in China! Service is always friendly and prompt. read more

I agree with David. Jing's food is good but not the greatest thing I've ever had. The lunch buffet is limited but the quality is good. Service was barely acceptable. I've done carry out for lunch and that turned out ok. Dining for diner was the best experience I've been able get out of Jings. Food was good as was the service. They were really slow that night - maybe that played into things. I am NOT happy with this delivery I just got from them. I asked for vegetable lo mein, not bok choy lo mein. It's overly peppery too! I haven't had that problem before... To end on a positive note - their crab rangoon, sesame tofu, and egg foo young are all really good. read more

Horrible experience: They don't accept orders from the yelp app They had difficulty understanding the order They called back 15 minutes after the order was placed to say the would not deliver as I was10 miles away, which was just a scam to collect a $10 delivery fee The food was awful consisting of soggy over batter chicken with tasteless brown sauce read more

I am not sure why this place has so many good reviews. The food was just mediocre and there are so many other places in the downtown Milwaukee area that has better Chinese food. We ordered our food to go so maybe that was part of it. Started out with the won ton soup. The broth was light and flavorful. Then next were the chicken wings. The wings are breaded and very salty. I ordered the Hong Shiu chicken. There were big pieces of chicken breast, broccoli, bamboo and water chestnuts. The brown sauce had kind of a weird taste to it, almost fishy tasting. My boyfriend order the beef with broccoli. This just was not good. The beef had a weird texture, kind of gelatinous and lacked flavor. The brown sauce also lacked flavor and he had to add soy sauce and sirracha. The reason I am giving Jings two stars is due to their employees. I am not sure if it was the owners that were behind the counter, but they are super nice. I feel bad for giving such a low rating for them, but food just was not that good. read more
