Jin Sing Restaurant

The food is great here. We had a favorite spot for Chinese food in Oakland, but they sold it to a new owners and the food is not the same. This is place is our new favorite and the food is always fresh. The portions are generous! My fav is the general chicken I call in my order for pick up, so I can't speak on dining inside. You won't be disappointed with the food!

It's the Fruitvale District, but I didn't care. I was craving some low-key, homemade Chinese goodness. You know, those type of jewels that we find in the San Francisco area. But at Fruitvale? Yeah, I was kinda desperate.....did a Yelp quality check of this place and I still took a chance. As soon as I drove by the place, school was out at 3:30 and kids swarmed the neighborhood.The main part of the building read, "Comida China". I thought it was pretty interesting considering there were several Latin citizens ordering from here. I kinda got hyped! I ordered Dry Fried Pork Ribs and a BBQ Pork Egg Fu Young (Lunch Special w/fried rice and egg roll).I did value the fact that my simple order took a good 15-20 minutes of cooking time. I would have grow suspect if my order arrived any sooner than 5 minutes.The food looked good at first glance, but I was disappointed at Jin Sing's execution. The Egg Fu Young was so heavily battered, that it tasted flavorless and starchy. My go-to dish lacked that silky egg goodness I was longing for. Additionally, the Egg Fu Young gravy was rather thick, dark and salty. It didn't do the egg dish any justice.The fried rice was served hot with little bits of pork dots. However, it lacked fluffy grains of seasoned rice.At least the egg roll was served hot and fresh. It was crisp and packed with cabbage and onions. It wasn't wasn't full of sodium.As for the ribs...disappointing. I was craving for sweet n' sour sauce just to mask the taste behind these dark and salty ribs. I feel like the ribs could have been dipped in a wet batter to deliver an epic crunch. At the ribs had some meat to it as opposed to cartilage and fat.On to the next one!

First time eating from here and YES Sir!!!! I'm making this my spot to go to especially since it's only a eight minute walk Although it's in a hidden spot if you not looking! I'm sold hope it's all as good as it was this first time Sincerely Pat down the street!!! Lol

The Honey Walnut shrimp is really good. They have been open for years. and it's good to see that they're stillopen. :)

This place is take-out ONLY. You cannot dine-in. Employee told me through bars on the window, "Oakland is too dangerous." Take-out only. Front door has locked iron gate. Parking is marked as "pick-up orders parking."

Came here and had the Chicken wings, Shrimp fried rice and veggie chow mein. Definitely added to my top 3 Chinese spots in Oakland!

Small window made to order to go.They only take cash which is super sketch and way outdated.I only ordered the vegetable chowmein and it simply wasn't appetizing. The customer service is rushed.

I love trying new restaurants when I travel, and this one was a great choice. Located directly across from the school, the smell walking in, enticed me to the different spices and flavors prevalent in Chinese cuisine. NOTICE: This establishment is CASH only. There are plenty of options for lunch combination plates, sadly (and understandibly) not all entrees were included.With that in mind, I decided to order staple sides; chicken chow mein and chicken fried rice. Since the entrée option I wanted wasn't available as a combo, I ordered broccoli with black mushrooms. The food took approximately 15 minutes to arrive to my table. Taste wise, I was NOT disappointed. The fried rice was out first. Perfectly cooked, the rice was firm and not greasy. The taste was buttery and savory with no soy sauce needee. Salted perfectly to taste. The chow mein, out next, had perfectly sautéed noodles and a great ginger, sesame seed oil, and garlic taste. The plate was slightly greasy, but not overly powerful in the mouth. The noodles weren't cheap quality, as noticible by the firmness and non doughy taste others have. The woks must thoroughly be seasoned, because the whole plate had a nice char smell taste that compliments the vegetables.Lastly, the vegetable dish came out and I was NOT disappointed. The mushrooms were kinda chewy but the broccoli was perfect. It was flavored with an oyster and black bean sauce that brought out the wonderful taste of the mushrooms. Overall, 5 starts for this whole in the wall Chinese restaurant. Definitely will come back again when I am in town.
