    Pad Thai
    Monica K.

    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).

    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!!!)

    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.

    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

    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.

    Lovely decor

    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!

    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.

    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. The only complaint is they don't offer free water, which seems like a money grab when serving food that uses lots of salt and spice.

    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!

I…read morewould've reviewed it sooner, but every time the food arrives, we're so excited to dig in that we forget to take pictures--in this case, the phone definitely does not eat first! This is easily one of the best ramen spots I've ever tried. They offer a great variety of broths, ranging from clear to creamy and spicy. My personal favorite is the Spicy Miso Ramen; it's the perfect balance of richness and heat, accompanied by incredibly tender pieces of slow-braised pork belly. I also love that you can fully customize your bowl with different toppings to make it exactly to your taste. You also cannot skip their appetizers. This time we ordered the Rock Shrimp Tempura, which was fried to perfection without overcooking the shrimp, and the sauces were the perfect addition. You also need to try their Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, the Bao Buns, and my absolute favorite: the Ika Geso Karaage, which comes with the most delicious mayo dipping sauce. The cozy ambiance perfectly complements the food, and the service is always attentive. It's a BYOB spot, which is a nice touch, and they'll provide glasses upon request. Since they don't take reservations, make sure to add yourself to the Yelp waitlist so you don't have to wait too long to try this amazing food!

Seating is limited so I'd recommend signing up for the waitlist online ahead of time I did try the vegan curry ramen which I've never had before and it was good although I'll stick with my usual next time. It did taste like maggi (ifykyk) but elevated which was comforting buttt I can just make that at home lol still hit the spot though!

We've always enjoyed the food, but unfortunately, something has definitely changed since our last visit -- and not for the better. We ordered several dishes, including the Baithakh Seekh Kebab Roll, Crispy Fried Chicken Burger, Beef Paya, Beef Nihari, Peshawari Mutton Karahi, and Chicken Malai Boti. To our surprise, nearly everything was a letdown. The Beef Paya and Peshawari Mutton Karahi were both swimming in oil and severely lacked flavor, which was shocking considering how good they used to be. The Fried Chicken Burger had decent seasoning, but the chicken itself was tough and rubbery -- almost inedible. The Chicken Malai Boti was okay, but even that wasn't as tender or flavorful as we've had here before. Maybe they've changed chefs or recipes, but the quality just isn't the same anymore. Baithakh had never failed us before, but this visit was a major disappointment. Sadly, we're giving it a 2 out of 5 stars. We hope they find their way back to the standard that once made them great.
