Jing's

I don't understand how this place has 3.5 stars. The food is always amazing, it comes out hot and fast, the service is always spot on, and it's always full in there. It's perfectly lit, very cozy. It's not super fancy but it's way nicer than your average Chinese restaurant, overall a very comfortable and inviting atmosphere.We came in on a Saturday evening, calling ahead for a reservation. We shared a crab Rangoon, and got Mongolian beef and crispy chili chicken to share, both were excellent. The server suggested that we add bok choy to our order, and that was very delicious as well.Great food, great service, great ambience. We'll be back.

I've been missing Jing's, and they were closed fo4 three months, while they visited family in China, so I was happy to get last night! They've been open 15 years!I wanted to order 8 menu items, but I used a little sekf control and ordered 3 and my friend ordered 2, and we shared everything, so that worked out alright.We started with the Scallion Pancakes, and they were amazing! Crisp, soft, chewy, with a buttery flavor from the oil. We LOVED them! The Guotie (pronounced go-TAY) are essentially pork pan-fried dumplings, which are always a good idea. These were on the former secret menu, but dumplings are on the current menu, so order them pan-fried and you should be set.The Shanghai Eggplant is a colorful and delicious dish and served with steamed rice. All the entrees include steamed rice. We ordered 3 entrees, so they served is a larger bowl of rice, rather than 3 separate cups of rice.The steamed fish with scallion and ginger was tender and the sauce was savory with a hint of sweetness. It was cooked perfectly!The Shanghai Duck has crispy skin and is served with some pieces having bone in them, which they told me up front, and I'm telling you now, and a side of sauce that I believe was plum sauce. The duck was good, but the sauce took it to another level of YUM!Hard to pick a favorite entree, but maybe the Shanghai Eggplant only because it was presented differently than I expected and I loved the color contrasts. The Scallion Pancakes are a MUST!Jing's is open for dinner only, and offers dine-in, carry-out, and delivery. They are open Tuesday through Saturday. Jing's is still one of my top 3 favorite Milwaukee Chinese restaurants!

Now this is a local restaurant that puts out good food! The Shrimp Fried Rice was Very tasty. If Beef and Broccoli is a favorite of yours, get it here and thank me later! Tender beef and perfectly cooked broccoli. Crab Rangoon was crispy and flavorful. Prices are very reasonable. I wish I could relocate this restaurant to my neighborhood in Cincinnati.

A gloomy option for subpar chinese carry out. It used to offer dine in, but doesn't appear to now. Anyway, i couldn't imagine eating in the dark, empty space. First warning sign was that I was apparently the only order at 6 pm on a busy restaurant night. As for the food, yikes. The fried rice with pork included ham chunks. How weird. I know ham is pork, but cmon. The other dishes were 1970s versions of Chinese food. Tasteless, unappealing. We ate a little and tossed the rest. Make it taste better! You're selling food! We know what food is supposed to taste like!

We actually wait for them to be open. The food is that good. The pricing is within our means and every bite is worth it!!

I finally found out where this place was when I was looking for something else. There is, in fact, authentic Chinese food in downtown Milwaukee, you just have to look for it a little bit. It's across from Shake Shack and Aloha Poke. There is signage you can see from the street, but if you were just walking up Water you wouldn't know unless you were looking for it.I came to try the buffet but they apparently don't offer it on Saturdays. That's fine because they did have the Chinese menu. The names of the dishes are in English, so it's not intimidating if you don't know Chinese. I got the Ma Po tofu and then an egg drop soup and some jasmine tea.The soup was nothing unexpected but it was good. I kind of wanted to try the hot and sour because of the reviews, but I didn't want something too similar to the Ma Po, flavor-wise. The Ma Po tofu was really good. I didn't detect any meat but the dish wasn't missing any flavor. The sauce soaked into the rice nicely but there wasn't too much of it, and it was pleasantly spicy but not mouth-burning.The space is small. It's not fancy but it's pleasant and the staff are really nice. They're also one of the few places around to offer soup dumplings, so maybe one day I'll get the courage to try those.

Jing's is the best Chinese food in Milwaukee. It checks all of the boxes. The ambiance is perfect. It's relaxed but nice, a great vibe for a date or family dinner.Everyone working there is welcoming, friendly, and on their game. Orders were taken and food came out fast.The food... How the heck do they make the beef so tender? It blows my mind everytime. It's all delicious and it sounds corny but you can really taste the love. It's homey, nourishing, and expertly prepared.I am already looking forward to the next time I go!

We showed up to dine in person and they seemed surprised. We had to tap a bell before someone showed up. The server was that same person and it seemed like we were an inconvenience. The portions were small for the money. Seems like they prefer their carry out model where there is no contact. They turned some lights on for us and closed the kitchen door. I wouldn't go there of you want Chinese.

Best Chinese food I have ever had. Quit ambiance and friendly, efficient staff. Top notch.

We had such a wonderful time here!!! Excellent food, terrific service. Very fair pricing! Owners are great and take a lot of pride in their restaurant. We'll definitely be back!!!
