The service was outstanding. The food selection was very nice. The serving size was quite generous. I wouldn't want to come here again if I'm in New Brunswick. The ambience and the surroundings of the restaurant are very eclectic very nice very Thai looking. read more

I had a great experience at Jinsoy and will definitely be back! First things first - this is New Brunswick, so be prepared to find your own parking. It's not the restaurant's fault, just something to plan for ahead of time. The food was excellent. Everything we ordered was flavorful, fresh, and came out surprisingly fast - honestly, record time. The staff was also very friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. One thing to note: they don't have a liquor license, but they make up for it with really great mocktails. I didn't miss alcohol at all. Also, if you're going specifically for drunken noodles, just know they're not on the menu. That said, they have a wide variety of other delicious options, so you won't leave disappointed. Overall, great food, great service, and a spot we'll definitely be visiting again! read more

Jinsoy - Halal Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

Attended a birthday dinner here and had a good time! The food was excellent! Very flavorful with just the right amount of spice. I had the pad Thai and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I was lucky enough to be able to taste a variety of dishes that my party ordered and loved everything. Not one bad bite on the table! I would also highly recommend the orange chicken. My only concern is that they were clearly understaffed. They had one server who was also the host. It took a while to grab his attention and we were not checked on frequently (understandable because he was taking care of every other table in the restaurant as well). read more

Jinsoy - Pad Thai - Halal Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

Beautiful ambiance complemented by bold and tasty flavors. I give it a 9/10. The service was amazing, too. I accidentally ordered the wrong dish, and the manager noticed the disappointment on my face. He immediately came over to ask what happened. After explaining it was my mistake, he still took the initiative to make it right and had the kitchen prepare the correct dish for me to take home. Definitely will be returning! It's the little act of kindess that results in loyalty forever with your guests ! (No matter how stuffed you get, you HAVE TO HAVE THE ROSE ICE CREAM!!!) read more

I've visited this place a few times just to give it a fair shot, but the food has always been just... alright. The first time I went, they didn't have our reservation even though we called earlier that day and even showed it on our call log, but they still denied it. After that, we made sure to book reservations a few days in advance. As for the food: the chili garlic noodles were nothing special, the dynastic chicken was spicy but pretty good, and the Mongolian beef was just okay. Drinks were decent too. The decor is beautiful -- I just wish the food lived up to the vibe. read more

Jinsoy was fine overall, but not really somewhere I feel the need to go back to for the food. It was missing a bit of flavor for me and didn't feel very authentic, especially compared to other Asian spots in the area. I really like spicy food and asked for it spicy, but it honestly wasn't spicy at all, which was a letdown. That said, the menu has a lot of options, so I can see this being a decent place for a birthday or group outing, where people want variety more than authenticity. The ambiance is nice, the service was good, and I did enjoy the cheesecake. Overall, it's more of a vibe and social spot than a place I'd go to specifically for the food. read more

Originally hearing about this restaurant I was intrigued. It's a fusion restaurant with different types of Asian cuisine. There was Chinese, Mongolian, Thai, and more. I wasn't that into anything I was served. There was plenty leftover and I don't know why but I think it tasted better the next day reheated. At the start, they put cups at the seating but they didn't give us any water which was expected for a sit down restaurant like it. When asked about it, they only had large bottles of water which costed extra. I wasn't a fan of that because in general a business should be able to give free tap water as an option but they didn't. Something to note that's in the menu is that a party of more than 2 automatically has a gratuity of 18% and more than 5 automatically gets 21%. So do keep that in mind for your visit. My group had ordered family style so I don't have many photos of my time there. I did get a snap of their Hong Kong iced tea as I was very curious what made it Hong Kong style. It was a black tea, loads of ball shaped ice that gave it the appearance of lychee so it was a little misleading even to the people next to me, and a lemon slice. I really couldn't tell what was so special about it to call it a Hong Kong iced tea. It wasn't bad but I feel like a homemade or house iced tea would be more fitting title as it's not coming from a pre packaged bottle and it tasted like they made it themselves. I didn't really enjoy my time here so I don't think I can recommend it read more

Jinsoy - Shang hai ice tea - Halal Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

Place indicated it was closed online and via phone despite it being open. The food was definitely not the best- ordered the dynamite chicken mild however it was extra spicy and the chicken was chewy as if it had been refried a few times Rice portions are small. The lychee drink was horrible- a waste of money- no fresh lychees were in the drink and instead lychee syrup was used which was extremely sugary. Overall the place is not great and the food and service lacked quality. Would definitely avoid. read more

The menu is interesting and we were satisfied with our dishes. Unfortunately, they began to clean the restaurant while we were still eating and the smell of the cleaning products (ammonia) took away from the enjoyment, especially when they sprayed the liquid on the booth right behind us. read more

First timer, we were looking for fast service since we had a play to attend. They were very accommodating. We were seated immediately without any reservation. The decor is soothing and it was almost full. But the noise was at a min. We ordered our food. I got spicy garlic chicken. He asked if I like spicy food and I said yes. This wasn't too spicy so I practically ate the whole thing. They are very generous with their portion. I took my leftovers home. It was so good as I was packing it up, I was still eating it. You won't be disappointed. Fresh and very tasty food. New Brunswick needed Jinsoy delicious food. You must go and sample it for yourself! read more

Jinsoy - Lovely decor - Halal Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

This hidden gem in New Brunswick not only serves great food but also has great service.

We went on a Sunday night we had made reservations as we had a large group. The decore is nice, service was really good. We ordered bunch of drinks and the best was night in something ((sorry don't remember the name)), we felt food was bit salty or had too much of soy sauce. Is it the best indo Chinese I have doubts on that have had better in Jersey. read more

Jinsoy - Menu - Halal Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

Beautiful halal restaurant. Decent food. I'm a sucker for Asian fusion and this hit the spot. They have a good menu with a lot of options. The flavors are tasty enough to satisfy a seasoned palate as well as having options for less adventurous eaters. The service was quick and friendly. The ambiance itself is beautiful. Great place for a bridal shower or a family get together. Only thing that is a challenge is that it's in the middle of New Brunswick so parking is tough. Otherwise, good food. read more

Always amazing Everytime i am there. Food is great. Its not pricey. And the service is always fantastic.

This place was so beautiful inside and we loved that it had halal meat served there. Its a Chinese/ Asian cuisine, we ordered a variety of dishes including chicken basil, Mongolian beef, seasome chicken, fried rice, hot and sour soup with chicken and veggie noodles. The soup was amazing spicy and perfect! The best thing was the seasome chicken it was so spicy and flavorful the sauce was perfect. The noodles and Mongolian beef were also some of my favorites from that day perfectly fresh and great flavor. The only complaint would be that the food took a very long time to come and the waiters were not very attentive, we kept runnning out of water and needed to call them over alot. Also the food is pricey and servings aren't to huge maybe two people can eat per chicken dish we tried. The lychee mojito was okay as well. read more

This is truly a beautiful restaurant in the heart of all things fun in Rutgers. The food was very average, though. I had heard great things prior to visiting and couldn't wait to try it. I know my Asian cuisines, and this was far from exceptional. I had ordered the sweet and sour chicken and there was nothing sweet or sour about it. It just felt like sticky fried chicken. I especially did not enjoy the fruit in my dish. I understand it may be a specialty, but grilled fruit is not my thing. However, the presentation was lovely and the service was fast. Hoping to try it again to give it another chance. I may update my review. read more

The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere and great attentive service. The food was wonderful and the portions were enough to share. The spice level was palatable and still flavorful.

This is literally the worst place i have ever been to. I called before going. Asked about closing time and if we can come an hour before. I was told we can be seated as long as we order quickly because the kitchen closes. I understand and respect the fact that its late. We get seated and i havent even fully sat down when the server very rudely asks me what he can get for us. Mind you this is before he even handed us the menu. I dont know what he was expecting. This was my first time at the place. I didnt have the menu memorized. I nicely asked him if he can get us the menu and well choose quickly. He gets the menu, hands it to us and stands there right next to me. Asking me for my order again within seconds of handing me the menu. He can clearly see that I hadnt even OPENED the menu yet. He was being soooo excessively rude. My friend tells him that hes gotta give us a few minutes atleast to see the menu its our first time here. To which he rolled his eyes and told us we shouldve come sooner. At that point we just decided to leave. Its like he didnt want hs there at all. And i totally understand the kitchen closing but but then dont tell us we can come. Dont seat us. Respect my time too. I have never been treated like this by anyone before. Worst place ever. read more

Great place! The halal food is amazing and everything we had for a large party (15 ppl) was tasty. It took a while for them to take our orders (about 40 min after we were seated). And staff put too many chairs on the tables so it was very squished (about 4 chair on one side of a single table). I would highly recommend for the food, but maybe not for a larger party! read more

Tried their Dragon Chicken, Jinsoy Rice, Dynamite Chicken, Shrimp Pad Thai, and Hot & Sour soup every dish was flavorful and well-balanced. The drinks presentation was outstanding, and the Mint Mojito, Mango Mojito, and Lychee were just on point. Best Chinese in town with great service and a welcoming owner, Khizar, who helps guide you through the menu. Ambiance and flavors are consistently top-notch. Highly recommend!" read more

We left George St Theater in search of a late lunch/early dinner. Jinsoy looked like the perfect place, easy walking distance from the theater. We were 2 couples. The service was poor at best. The Pad Thai came out almost immediately. The other 3 dishes came out one at a time. The delay was such that the Pad Thai was ice cold. I took almost 10 minutes from the first dish until we were all served. What a disappointment!! We asked to have the dishes very mild. Two dishes were ok, the fourth dish was very spicy, I had to send it back. The others were already finished so I did not get another dish. Can you imagine, they charge $5.00 for a cop of tea with a poor quality tea bag? The check arrived and they added 18% tip. If you paid by credit card, there was a 3% up charge. If you paid by cash, they deducted 10%. There are many other restaurants in New Brunswick, avoid this one. read more

Overall food was fine, we went for an afternoon lunch with a colleague, ordered spicy lamb, spicy noodles, lotus root appetizer as well as spicy fish fry. Every food tasted almost same with same sauce, nothing special. The noodles were good and so was the ginger drink but for the price and the mandatory 20% gratuity I wouldn't go again unfortunately, was a big fan of Chai Chenak and as this is the sister restaurant was expecting a bit more. Both the restaurants have unfortunately failed to keep up with their food standard. read more

Some people have said Jinsoy is all style over substance. That's true to a certain degree. The interior sports some bright lights and colors, set against earthy background. It's exciting but also quite homey. The plating and presentation for the food is impressive and - yes - sometimes the food LOOKS a lot better than it tastes. However, Jinsoy puts in the effort to be better than average - it's clean, quality food, and as long as you order the right thing you'll leave satisfied. Must order: Jinsoy Chow Men (loved the smoky undertones) Dynamite Chicken Dragon Fish Crispy Beijing Beef Chili Paneer (one of the best cooked paneers I've ever had, not rubbery at all!) Skip: Bao Bun (very little flavor) Chicken Manchurian There were a few dishes whose names I even forgot because they fall into Jinsoy's biggest error: several dishes end up tasting all the same because they're too salty and saucy, nothing to distinguish them. read more

New to New Brunswick, Jinsoy is the latest creation from Syed Khizer Ali Shah, owner of the very successful Chai Chenak Restaurant, embarking on a new way to experience Halal Asian Fusion! The dishes are simply exquisite and invigorate the tongue with distinct characteristics, offering cuisine options both taking from traditional meals as well as blending Chinese, Mongolian, Himalayan, & Tibetan dishes for an opulent dining adventure. I attempted to enjoy as much as one meal I could and sampled several appetizers from the vast array of options. Kicking it off with the light, fruity zest of their Raspberry Mojito from their specialty mocktails menu. First out was the absolute must-try, Crispy Lotus Root in honey garlic sauce. Let me tell you this was such a delicious item as was a savory sauce smothering the crunch texture of the chips. Completely adored this dish! Next was the Dynamite Shrimp, which again, spot on with the crunchy and light, fluffy texture with a delicious sauce that gave it just the slightest of kicks to your palette. Rounding out the appetizers were the Chicken Dumplings served with a sweet sesame sauce that was just delightful and a flavorful red chili sauce that kicked it up a notch. Finishing out my meal was the vegetarian Szechwan Eggplant and fluffy rice, served in this cute bowl and packed with flavor coming from the Himalayan Szechwan sauce. The bite-sized morsels were amazing and filled me up a lot more than expected. The sleek lounge-like atmosphere offers spacious tables and booth seating for family & friends to enjoy with several smaller setups, perfect for date night, perfect for shareable bites and non-alcoholic cocktails. The service is quick & excellent and the friendly staff members are always willing to offer up a few ideas for dishes to try and what pairs well with other plates. If you're looking for a new experience that offers a myriad of traditional and modern Asian cuisines, blended and paired in all-new ways, then Jinsoy on George Street in New Brunswick is definitely a spot you'll want to check out ASAP. read more

Jinsoy - New Brunswick Finally got a chance to check out @jinsoynj and we were not disappointed! We are already loyal fans of @chaichenakrestaurant so when the owners announced their new venture we were so excited to try it! Prices: Appetizers - dynamite chicken $13 & pan-fried chicken dumplings $10 Entrees - Crispy Beijing Beef with jasmine rice $18, Chili garlic chicken with jasmine rice $18, Jinsoy fried rice with chicken $15, Chili Garlic noodles with chicken $16 Drinks: Lychee mojito $6, raspberry mojito $6, mint margarita $6 Food: 9/10 we loved everything! Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. Even after taking pics of the food for about 15 minutes, it was still steaming hot. The crispy beef was our favorite. Everything had such an authentic flavor to it. Dynamite chicken was the perfect appetizer. We've had better dumplings which is the only reason we didn't give this place a 10/10 but the rest of the food was Service: The food arrived relatively quickly. All the staff was really courteous and stopped by our table multiple times to make sure everything was okay. Ambience: The restaurant is extremely well-kept and clean. Their dine-in setup is beautiful and has the perfect blend of Pakistani-Chinese style seen everywhere from its decor to its tableware. Highly recommend stopping by and trying this amazing spot out for yourselves! read more

The 2 star awarded to this place is for courteous & attentive staff and good presentation of food. Very good Ambiance and nice clean place. The place is decorated well and has very inviting feel ... now let's meet the food and creations of Chef. 1 Chicken Corn Soup or Sweet Corn Soup .. whatever that thing was it wasn't soup. My friend was not able to take it down. 2 Jinsoy Chicken Chowmein .. my 5 year old had no complaints besides it had a particular spicy kick and she stopped after a few bites. I understand you may have a recipe but please understand the need of your patrons as not everyone likes spicy food specially kids born in USA. I requested specifically to tone down the spices for the kid. But I guess something was lost in translation. 3 Singapore Rice ... this was my first time trying this dish so I rather not give my own comments. But one of our friend suggested had a bit too much vinegar. Also spice was over powering all the sauces. It was definitely an interesting dish for me Rice over noodles over chicken over some sauce bath. 4 Jinsoy Special Chicken .. this was a major turn off as extremely salty and chicken had a distinct smell. We couldn't eat it. 5. Chicken Lollipop .. bland chicken wings fried and tossed in a mixture of over powering concoction of onions. I had better version of this at multiple places. 6 Mongolian Beef .. Extremely dry and spicy beef with no flavor. All you taste is rehydrated thick cut beef jerky tossed with peppers. Over all the food was presented very well but if you are feasting with your eyes than this will serve you right and you should visit .. But if you are hungry and you want to enjoy some good fusion Asian cuisine I suggest you skip this as you may end up going home confused for paying a good amount and still hungry. read more

My friends and I went to Jinsoy yesterday night. It's a beautiful restaurant with lovely decor and soft music. We only waited 30 minutes for a table on a Saturday night with no reservation. I did not appreciate an automatic 18% gratuity for parties of 2 or more. The restaurant was full (although it did not feel claustrophobic) and it took us roughly 20 minutes before anybody came to our table to take our order and that was only after we had to flag someone down frantically to ask how to order because the QR codes on the table made it seem as if you order virtually. Our food came out rather quickly, but the servers didn't serve everyone individually; they placed everything on the corner of the table and we had to pass things around while some of the dishes were hot. We never got water for the table and had to purchase three individual water bottles because the restaurant had run out of the larger Aqua Pana bottles. The waiter brought our check without us asking and then came by again five minutes later to pick up the check even though we were still eating and talking. There is a sign at the door saying the maximum time per table is 1hr30min; however, I'd like to reiterate that we waited about 20 minutes to be addressed when we enter the restaurant and did not appreciate being rushed when the restaurant was clearing out and had multiple booths and larger tables for parties of 4+ people open and set. I'd say: yes, this food is Asian fusion, but the flavors are not as rich and deep as I'd expect for this type of cuisine. The portions are very generous and the mocktails were GOOD (my friend and I each had a piña colada while our other friend had a lychee mojito). We were told our food was "medium spice level," but none of us thought our plates were spicy (we're from Jamaica and Trinidad so our spice tolerance level is pretty high). We shared a Dynamite Shrimp appetizer, two of us had the Chili Garlic Noodles with shrimp, and the other had the Chili Lamb. The service could be improved with more wait staff and deeper flavors in the food, and the mandatory gratuity has to be addressed...maybe mandatory for parties of 6+ since the restaurant hosts large groups. read more

The food is delicious! A bit spicy for my liking because of what I ordered but they ask you what level of spice you would like. The restaurant is beautiful and clean. The music set the vibe for the restaurant and it was probably my favorite thing about the restaurant besides the amazing food.

If I could give this place a 0 star I would. I don't understand how can they call it Chinese food. It's a mix of Pakistani/Indian/Mexican food with some soya sauce. I ordered chicken chow mein and it was filled with cilantro and egg, you could hardly find chicken in there. Who in the world put egg in the chowmein. The chicken Manchurian was actually meatballs with some sad looking gravy. The Lolly pop chicken were also worst with some gravy and peanuts on top. The chef seems to be obsessed with cilantro and egg. Worst Chinese food I've ever had . Won't be coming here again. read more

We wanted to celebrate the end of the first phase of our exams and came across Jinsoy. I'm so glad we came here because I loved everything from the ambience to the service and to the food. It's a very well decorated place with unique pieces! We started off with drinks which were delicious. The pina colada was perfect and wasn't too sweet. We were curious about ordering something new and inquired more about it with our server. He gave us a wonderful breakdown with recommendations. I ordered the Jinsoy Noodles. It had the perfect amount of spice and was very flavorful. This was the first time my friends and i finished every last bite of our meal! That's how delicious the food was. The staff was very courteous and friendly! Would definitely visit again! read more
