Great Hot & Sour, blow out your sinuses hot Chinese mustard and a hot & crispy veggie spring roll, green onions.
Ben S.

Jin's is a lovely little buffet in the middle of a 3-4 business strip mall across from the Claremont Walmart. The staff were all very sweet and it seems like a small family based restaurant. Everything was fresh and the soups (I got the hot & sour, two bowls) were piping hot! My only caveat, being a vegetarian, is I wish they had a couple of more veggie friendly and/or tofu dishes on the buffet.

Holes in the wall to allow pests in.

The food is okay at times, but I just got freaked out a lot when I saw holes in the wall allowing pests inside. Looks so nasty. We never sat in this booth before so I never knew about this. Definitely rethinking this place now. The health department should come investigate this! Disgusting!

Love Bubblys! Great food, great service, portions are awesome, location is great and the price of…read morethe food is also great. Definitely recommend!

My first time visiting Bubblys and here is what I saw…read more    _New Years Eve hours sign still on the front door 3 days AFTER the holiday (I blame management).  _Dining area did not look clean (and not very busy).  _County Food Safety score of 94.5 is not an acceptable score (more detail on this later). _Person on the register was talking on the phone while the customer in front of me was waiting (did not sound like a business related call).  _Not all food prep employees were wearing hats, one worker was touching his hair then back to food prep, nobody was wearing gloves.  At this point we no longer wanted to eat here so we left (went next door to Tony's Pizza).    I looked up their most recent food safety inspection and here are a few violations.    _Hand-washing sink had no paper towels (so are they even washing their hands?).  _Refrigeration coolers running above 50 degrees (should be below 41 degrees). _Dirt buildup in kitchen area (repeat violation from prior inspections).  _Outside garbage dumpster area was messy. _General cleaning of facilities is a repeat violation including "large amount of buildup near fryers".    Note that ALL of the food inspection scores in 2025 were below a 95. There are numerous other restaurants around with employees who care about their customer's health achieving scores of 100
