Reviews Jinli China Town

We loved the chicken dumplings, duck pancakes, egg fried rice, and the sweet and sour chicken. Didn't love the kung pao chicken as much though. This place has a very lively atmosphere and you can tell it's very popular restaurant in chinawtown. Would come back here again in the future.

I have been here a few times now, having discovered it a few years back and it continues to impress me every time with its fuss-free, generous, spicy Sichuan dishes. The classic beef and black bean chow mein was lovely. Tender pieces of beef with perfectly-cooked noodles and the distinctively earthy black bean sauce gave it that extra level of savory flavour. The prawns with asparagus were delicately seasoned and had a very pleasant texture. Overly hard and chewy prawns can be a recurring problem at some restaurants but not here! This was also my first time trying pig trotters. The ones served here had simply been served with some vegetables. They were very nice but I would have preferred them to have been slightly softer. While they had a rich flavour, as the trotters consisted mainly of fat and gelatine, they became slightly boring after a while. But nethertheless, it was worth the try. The duck hotpot was delightful. Plenty of tender meat was served with chilli oil and chillis. The Sichuan pepper added that distinctive mouth-numbing sensation and the extra kick you really want when it comes to Sichuan cuisine! Try to bring as many people as you can to make the most out of the vast, tempting menu. If you're looking for a good, simple and affordable meal, this is the place for you. But it's not for those who can't handle chilli!

we went on a normal thursday afternoon 6:30, wasn't too many people waiting (a long queue at 8pm when we finish, so make sure you come along early). The setup is quite nice, very traditional chinese, some thoughts into the design, spacious seats and big table. Service is relatively fast, the head waiter is very rude for no reason while the others are much better. Food wise I'll give it a 3-star, for authetic sichuan food. Grilled fish is not bad in flavor, but overly deep fried and not fresh, the veg inside has no taste, it's obviously just raw and throw inside. Average. I'd hardly come back TBH.

Been here a few times, food quality has been consistent each time. Usually have seafood dry pot which is excellent, schezwan beef with other dishes are good. Typical Chinatown prices, service is indifferent and not worth the automatically applied gratuity to the bill. Update 18/10/22. Just been for lunch today. Seafood dry pot was great as usual. The chicken kung po not so great, tasted slimy and the chicken was a bit odd in the way it was cut as looked more like mince. Otherwise, great as before of you accept the indifferent service as mentioned before on previous visits.

We visited three of us sat evening. Seems to be quite because after dinner time. Staff was friendly and helpful. We ordered dry hot pot king prawn 🦐 and add fish ball, sweat potato noodle, black mushroom and snow slices beef. Not much spice! Tasty and feel fresh! The spicy sauce was great with rice.you need to order rice with this hot pot:) we spend around 80 gbp for three people. I think it worth and enjoyed spicy and hot food 🫣😬 we will be back to try other dishes.

Called for a reservation and this was no issue. When I arrived we had a great table, the service was fast and staff very friendly. I really recommend the Dry Hot Pot, we did a custom one with Lotus Root Slice, Beef, Cabbage, Fried Tofu & Fish Balls so tasty! You can now order through the App and Pay which makes the experience easy and efficient. Make sure you go and try.

Best service. Pricewise its relatively cheap. The food is phenomenal. Its quite spacious inside with a nice atmosphere. Highly recommend.
