New Jin Jin Chinese Restaurant near Inlet Beach

[InletBchDweller]

Last night for dinner we had to give New JIn Jin a try.....

We got (i know way too much)

Sesame Chicken/fried rice/egg roll
Pork Lo Mein
Happy Family/white rice
sweet sour chicken/white rice

The egg roll was very good, hot, crispy and not full of only nasty filler cabbage stuff....

fried rice, just ok...not as good as Mikatos...maybe it will get better with time...

Lo Mein, I thought this was very tasty and the large order would feed a family it seems.

Happy Family was filled with lots of veges and meat. The sauce needed some flavor but I can just ask for that next time. I like this dish b/c there is something for everyone...

Sweet sour chicken - standard flavor but I was happy to see it was breast meat and not unidentifiable.. The sauce came on the side and was very watery. This is my only complaint. I dont regularly order this dish so it really does not matter to me.

The little restaraunt 6-8? 4 seat tables so if they are full then you have no where to sit. They were busy with take out and seemed to be on their game for this. A couple that was wanting to eat in were waiting to be taken care of but the staff was so busy taking togo orders that they could not get to them. They may be counter service, anyone know??????

Everyone in my group welcomes this restaurant--very high points for the EGGROLLS!!...all the meals have been good, but there is a need for more flavor.

My Curry Chicken was well prepared, fairly bland tasting to be honest! Flavor needs to be pushed up a notch or two.

F.Y.I. the "New Jin Jin" Chinese Restaurant will open tomorrow (12-28) in the Cariillon Beach Publix shopping center.

We picked up a menu and it is extensive, with nothing over $11.00. Lunch specials are under $6.00.

Hope the food is good!

I love Chinese food and will have to try it. I am sure they have chicken fried rice which is one fave of mine but do they have Sesame Chicken or General Tsao's chicken on their menu? Different Chinese restaurants call that same dish by one name or the other.

If you take your lunch to the shop, and the leftovers of the day are spaghetti or chili or anything with tomato sauce, use those instead of fancy clear plastic containers. They also hold paper clips well. And shrimp shells. And computer parts!

Martha Stewart says if you don't want the clear plastic to stain with red sauce, before putting the red sauce into the container, spray the container liberally with a cooking spray, like Canola oil. ;-)

LadyD, I just checked the menu and they have both of those items. THe sesame chicken is great!!! I am eating the last of my leftovers now. We had them for dinner, lunch and now dinner again. :shock: It is still good although I added a little red curry for some flava!

Thanks for the update. I have had my eye on them. Is that the same owners as the one in Dfunk? Will they have buffet? It is so rare these days to find good chineses food outside of a big city. Let us know how it is.

Ate there on Saturday. Food was great and big portions!

I was wondering this myself. I have several of the plastic containers mentioned above from this location so thats a sign pointing towards yes. I've never seen any other chinese restaurant use anything but the foil containers or paper boxes.
