Placed 6 dishes as to go. Food quality were not good at all. If I rate the Kungpao chicken from Panda Express as 6 out of possible 10, Kungpao chicken from Jin Ye was about 3. Chow mein, Fried rice, Broccoli beef, pot stickers were about same not so good quality. Will not recommend this place to my friends.

Portion size is definitely not an issue at this convenient Chinese eatery in Point Richmond, but there's some oomph factor that seemed to be missing from their food. It was not that they do anything wrong per se...it just somehow missed the mark on providing culinary satisfaction for me. Too bad because the restaurant itself was a nice space - compact, sleek, and minimalist.Granted I have yet to dine here, my review relates to my takeout experiences, and what happened once I opened the cardboard boxes. The $12 Beef Chow Fun had the requisite thick noodles but seemed a bit light on the meat (photo: https://yelp.to/4Wtu7f7z4O). The $15 Eggplant in Garlic Sauce was quite heavy on the sauce, and the eggplant absorbed the oil fully (photo: https://yelp.to/5wYVsJ798o).On a subsequent trip, I went for the $14 Quarter Roast Duck which had a nice crispy skin, but unfortunately it was overcooked with the duck meat a lot drier than I was hoping (photo: https://yelp.to/XEz49bHoR9). The $11.50 House Fried Rice was likely the best dish I've had with calamari and shrimp mixed with a lot of chopped vegetables in an abundance of fried rice (photo: https://yelp.to/iV2kC0_KIl).FOOD - 3 stars...definitely a motley mix with none hit out of the ballparkAMBIANCE - n/a...not that relevant in my caseSERVICE - 4 stars...they toil pretty hard hereTOTAL - 3 stars...just not my favorite...sorryRELATED - Exploring Richmond?

I am so bummed out. I was hoping for some good Chinese food and this was not it. I had a few bites and the taste is just not good. By far the worst garlic eggplant I've ever had. Also the egg roll was super soggy. It wasn't tasty. Then just having it be delivered I was surprised how soggy this thing was. The whole lunch as BUST!

I randomly stumble upon this Chinese restaurants after a long hike around Sausalito. This hidden gem is located in the little downtown area of Point Richmond. My first impression of Jin Ye is the decor inside doesn't really match the cuisine. Don't get me wrong, it's really modern and nice but I thought it was more suitable for a Japanese restaurant. Regardless of the decor mismatch I still thought the food was delicious and the service was outstanding. We ordered the honey walnut prawns, sesame chicken and beef chow fun. Out of the three I personally like the beef chow fun the most. The noodles were perfectly cooked and everything was seasoned very well. I would definitely order that dish again. The honey walnut prawns and sesame chicken were very tasty as well. The only thing I will gripe about those two items is the thickness of the batter especially for the prawns. The ratio of the batter and meat can be portioned a little better. Other than that I had a nice meal here in this quiet little downtown area. There were people coming in and out on this Saturday evening but not a lot of dine ins. Most people came in for takeout so there was no wait for a table for two.

We moved to the area several years ago and LOVE our local Chinese place. Food is always fresh and delicious, service is stellar - always prompt and courteous. The ambience is calm and clean - restrooms, too! Prices are better than lots of other places - really reasonable, especially given the recent increases around the Bay Area. Orange chicken is crunchy and delicious, vegetables are fresh and crunchy in everything, the Hot and Sour is not overly spicy but very flavorful. We love the noodle and rice dishes, too. We also love the lunch specials, and enjoy take out from time to time. Plenty of take out orders keeps a busy kitchen and fresh food, but plenty of seating for when you want to dine-in.

My colleagues and I love going here. In this economy it is difficult to find quality food with the price they offer. Lunch on weekdays come with soup and spring roll on cabbage shreds. Thanks for the lovely and fast service. Hot tea and hot water is also available. The restaurant is really cozy and clean.

Mu shu pork? Never mind. Don't bother. It is all cabbage. No egg. Very little pork. A tad of wood ear.
