Those adventurous dishes are what make this gem so amazing. Trust me when I say your taste buds will thank you for taking the path less traveled. If you check out the included photo you'll see a wide assortment of flavors on display, from spicy dumplings swimming in delicious hot oil to aromatic spicy crab, which was a surprise hit. Yes, there are spicy dishes a plenty at this place, but you'll also find plates suitable for milder tongues as well. The entire menu is packed with delicious food which will satisfy just about anyone in your group. Indoor dining isn't happening these days, but during my previous visits to Jin Jiang I always found the service to be friendly and attentive while the atmosphere was quite comfortable. Seriously, this is the kind of rare find (outside of your local Chinatown) that I want to support through these tough times because I love restaurants that work hard to expand the Chinese cuisine experience beyond the same boring stuff that has sadly become synonymous with takeaway. Give them a try if you're looking for something different. They just might become your new favorite Chinese.

So I searched up authentic Chinese places in B'ham's Chinatown to find one that had plenty of veggie items and found this place. The place is on the second floor close to many other Chinese places. The interior is quite large, with bare bones decor. They had plenty of items that are or could be vegetarian, so we stuck with those items. We got: -Ma po tofu (vegan version; £8.80). This was very well-done, with a nicely spicy fermented bean paste and chili oil character. Not so much if any Szechuan peppercorns -- oh well. One of the better ma po tofu dishes I've had in a long while. 5/5 -Morning glory with garlic (£9.80). You can't get this dish in North America to my knowledge, so we were excited to order this: perfectly cooked water spinach with a good amount of garlic. Doesn't get better than this. 5/5 -Sliced potato with chili Chinese pepper (£7.80). Classic dish cooked perfectly, with a sort of hot & sour tang. We were really happy with this one as well. 5/5 -Marinated cold cucumber in garlic sauce (£7.80). This could've done with chili oil but the garlic sauce and cilantro that it was flavoured with made this very satisfying. 4.5/5 Service was also top-notch, speaking good English and helping us make sure that everything would be vegetarian, indeed vegan. Top-notch authentic Chinese food experience here and can be very veg-friendly. Highly recommended.

They are all in cahoots! Very nice ambiant interior, clean, spacious, Chinese love songs in the background. But a bit drafty. Looks look the building used to be an old pub. Start off with the tasty complimentary prawn crackers and a red sauce. The mixed seafood soup was good, not at first, but it grows on you. It's a mix of mussels, shrimp, squid and vegetables. For main course had chicken Sezchuan and Cumin lamb. The odd mushrooms with the Sezchuan sauce was a strange choice that doesn't make sense. And no broccoli. Which for me is fine. I'm with George Bush on this one. The cumin lamb had somewhat of a spice imbalance. Too much cumin powder and too much flour coating. But very flavorful and a large size portion. You dim sum, you lose sum.

I'd have liked to give Red n Hot four stars, but I couldn't. Here is why…read more Welcome warm and professional. Menus were offered and drinks orders taken with perfectly pleasant efficiency. Red n Hot is placed in the heart of Birmingham's Chinatown which, like much of the centre of the city, is dominated by high rise office blocks, flyovers and busy lanes of traffic and bustle. Food The starters were delicious. Cucumber with soy, chilli oil and garlic . . . lots of garlic. Delicious and the perfect pairing to the fried fish we had also ordered. The portions were large. The main courses arrived, and the portions were even larger! Szechuan Beef (with chilli, chinese lettuce and oodles of garlic) was lovely, a really warming savoury dish. We also had chicken with peanuts, chilli, basil, ginger and spring onions. A side serving of Chinese lettuce with vinegar provided vegetable fibre. Lots of plain rice was on offer to mop up the delicious sauces. The portions defeated us completely as the dishes were cleared away we were told that this was the way Red n Hot did things . . . might have been nice to hear that on ordering rather than waste food. No matter, we were happy. This was food you could imagine a few hundred million people happily eating with no ill effects. Toilets shocking doesn't even come close. I'll spare you the details. There are some sights even hardened Qypers will not want described . . . . an effort at tidying had merely 'spread' the problem everywhere, ahem. The Bill a healthy £53.50 with drinks (4 bottles of Tsingtao beer). The bill was delivered folded . . . we were asked if we wanted to add a tip . . . why?, we asked it's in the service charge already isn't it? (this we knew having unfolded the bill). A huffy response was all we got and we couldn't be disposed of fast enough. Come on guys, you already had 10% on top. The sour note struck by the bill and the unspeakably gross toilets did Red n Hot no favours. A pity, the food is worth going for. I gather Red n Hot has branch in Manchester and one in London too. I'd be interested to compare the London branch with the Brum one. Disabled access isn't available. Tables are accessed up several steps as are the aforementioned toilets of shame.

Barshu has been serving what I can only imagine is authentic Sichuan fodder, (for surely you couldn't make this stuff up) for a good 20 years. It sits a stone's throw from Chinatown, north of Shaftesbury and it's worth the short detour from the mainly Cantonese Gerrard St and its environs. Intimate and intricate, the space and the wooden carvings that adorn it. It gives a sense that the proprietors want to give you a flavour of their beloved Sichuan culture as well as their food. And they don't hold back. There's no catering for those of a nervous culinary disposition here. The menu is unfathomably and reassuringly long. If you will make use of every part of your animal, that's will happen. Pig's feet stand next to Pig's ears who listen intently to intestines as they growl that nobody is being brave enough to eat them. Sichuan pepper and chilli feature heavily in many dishes. Two things I can confirm. The pork is most definitely in chilli. And the Dandan noodles are most definitely, as described, legendary. I spent the weekend trying and failing to create the same unctuous loveliness that arrived in a bowl in front of me. A more comforting, yet powerful concoction it would be hard to produce and for under a tenner, an absolute bargain. The noodles are fresh, soft, chewy. We could be in italy were the noodles not smothered in a minced pork and sesame paste concoction that adds to the velvetiness. Smoother than the cream in a Twinkie, word up. the Pork in Chilli came on a plate they snaffled from Wimbledon ladies champ Iga Swiatek once she'd finished brandishing it in celebration. In amongst a million dried chillies which have been fried with Sichuan pepper, you'll find hard nuggets of pork. They have been incinerated and infused with the flavours of the chillies and pepper that engulfs them. To eat a nugget is to be met with an initial pleasant fragrantness followed by a mouth who's only means of protest is to find another one and do it all over again. The treasure hunt through the chillies is fun. Just when you think you've picked every last nugget, a little rustling around reveals another, and another, and another. By the time your mouth can take no more, it's numb and that means you can start on the chillies. It's a mission but it's worth it. Rather like a Dostoyevsky book, I'm not sure anyone's actually finished one of these but everyone declares their love for it nonethelessless. You might describe it as a statement dish, were your mouth able to make any statement at all. Don't panic. The sensation dies down after about 20 minutes alongside two or three beers which the house are happy to bring you quickly. If that doesn't quench the flames, Shaftesbury Ave has a handily placed Fire station. After the madness you are then left with a very pleasant feeling. One that says you've been out, eaten something bold, interesting, mad. And you're ready for action. Step back out into the Soho night and go get some. there's plenty around and if you've dined at Barshu, you are well primed to crack on.

The sign said open, so we walked in and asked if they did take away and they did. The interior is very nice and the prices acceptable. For a hot and sour soup I paid £2.80 and for the fortune rice special £6. There was only one person and she was part of the staff. Seemed a pretty empty place. But having said this, we went there at 16.00 what can be considered too early for dinner. We waited for some time for our order and I asked for a glass of water. I would have throught that this is offered straight away plus maybe some prawn crackers as we might have looked hungry :-). Overall the food was ok. I was struggling with the soup a bit when my toung started burning. Very spicy indeed and recommendable for the ones that love spicy. Would I eat it again? I guess so. Yes. The rice was tasty too, served with a lots of vegetables. I also asked for some soya sauce and got a wee cup. That was nice. I was not so convinced with the spare ribs. Bit too chewy for my taste. The Chinese chicken wings were soft enough, however the chicken bones were quite bridle and broke in half easily. Not sure this is a good thing. Anyway, overall, it seems a pretty ok place where you can enjoy a nice tasty Chinese menu for a lunch price of £6.95. The interior looks very cozy and the prices acceptable. Would I get another Chinese takeaway from there? Yes, maybe.
