Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had never been here but went off the reviews. I don’t know how they just appered with large plates full of beautiful food. Everything we ate was so tasty and well presented in vast quantiles we couldn’t eat it all and the price was great . Staff were friendly and professional we will be going here again

Celebratory birthday meal, ate in not takeaway. Fantastic food, great atmosphere, we just mentioned it was daughter's birthday & they brought her a cake at the end of the meal & sang her happy birthday! The hotpot looked great, going back to try that soon. NB. it's cash only

We've felt so welcome and really enjoyed the traditional Chinese dishes. We learned so much about real Chinese food and the waitress (Jin Jin?) Is very helpful with recommendations. Delicious all round - best if you like spicy food.

Walking around Cowley Road looking for somewhere to eat and stumbled on Jin Jin, what a stumble!! This place cooks and serves outstanding, authentic Chinese food, I have not enjoyed a Chinese meal like this in a very very long time. Do not believe the comments about it being expensive because it isn't, it is far from expensive. It was stacked out with Chinese students who go most days for their dinner. I got talking with the owner and she was explaining that her husband does all the cooking whilst she works out front. If you like a decent Chinese then you will not go wrong in going here for a meal. Outstanding food. Outstanding service. Outstanding Value!

Three of us enjoyed a fabulous meal at Jin Jin (Friday 8th December), we had not visited before. We chose set menu B and were not disappointed. First thing we noticed was the genuinely warm welcome from the ladies serving. It was a cold evening and they made sure the heater was turned on and immediately brought a pot of hot jasmine tea. The food was absolutely fantastic, fresh, plentiful and hot. We were not rushed into leaving, even as they were getting busy. Many thanks to all at Jin Jin for a great meal in a lovely atmosphere . We look forward to returning.

As far as Chinese takeaways go, the food here is (slightly) above average. But what makes this place special are the staff. We decided to eat in the restaurant. The decor is clique if a little crowded. The waitress was hospitable and catered to our non-menu item requests. So hospital, in fact, she offered us complimentary watermelon at the end.

A truly authentic Sichuan restaurant. Simple decor that was pleasing and relaxing. The food is not for the British Chinese fast food menu fans. We went as mixed Chinese and British group and the food was well endorsed. Most of the clientele are Chinese and the prices are great value. Without drinks our bill for 4 was below £40.00 and we left fully satisfied. Service is perfect, attentive and correct without the intrusive 'is everything OK for you' during the meal. The rice bowl was refilled at no extra cost. We ate the cheg special pictured among dishes and for those not keen on chilli a bowl of wonton noodles was ordered.

I stumbled upon this place by accident and my god its the best accident I’ve ever made. Myself and my partner (before lockdown) would drive 30 minutes to go here. The food tastes amazing and the waitress (I always forget to ask her name) is so extremely helpful and makes the experience. If I could eat here all the time I would. I really recommend this place!

Coming from a Chinese, the food was very authentic and delicious. We opted for the hotpot buffet which came with multiple flavourful soups and a good assortment of dishes. The staff was extremely kind, constantly offered to help us and apologised sincerely when had to wait for the food. The restaurant was small and cute with some Asian-inspired decorations. At the end, the even gave us a signature plate of fruits!! Jin Jin really gave me a taste of home out here and I would most definitely come back again and invite my friends over.

This place’s food is some of the best Chinese I’ve ever had. Customer service is impeccable and pricing is completely fair as the positions are big and everything tastes amazing. Only had the pleasure of eating from Jin Jin in lockdown so far, but can’t wait to go there in person once the restrictions are lifted!

Found this restaurant on Trip Adviser and thought We’d give it a go. We were not disappointed. It’s not in the city centre but only a short walk. It doesn’t have fancy decor but the food and service was excellent. The young lady that served us was helpful and honest and made sure we didn’t over order. The food was very good and what we call traditional British version of Chinese food. The prices were reasonable and we are glad we gave it a chance.

One of the best Chinese takeaways I've had. Just my type of food, piping hot, full of flavour and plenty to share between two or more. Also some amazing (proper) prawn toasts! The lady who served me when I collected my order was so lovely. I asked for some empty containers to use in the absence of plates (we were bringing it back to our hotel) and she happily gave me everything we needed! :)

Food was really tasty - everything. Service was warm and friendly - just 1 waitress who was busy and efficient. Only slightly odd thing was being asked to pay only with cash - no cards or phone payment were accepted. Strange in these Covid times....

We called in for a takeaway. The lady working front of house was super friendly. The place is small but she sat us down when we were waiting and brought us over some complementary prawn crackers. The food was delicious. If we'd had more time and less stuff with us we would have loved to eat in. Very pleased we happened to see it.

Was in Oxford for a couple of nights and we came here. My wife and I had the set menu for 2 and it was great. Starters followed by duck and then obviously main courses. I won't bore you with all the details, but the food was great and there was too much for 2. They wanted to bag it up for us, but unfortunately staying in a hotel made it impossible. A couple of Chinese beers helped wash it down and I would recommend without hesitation.
