Jin Jia

another Yelp rec for this NOODLE dish with beef & potatoes & onion led me here to enjoy this BEYOND INCREDIBLE flavor. Llama Malbec wine from I believe-the smoothest ever. SERVER was extremely sweet and helpful. GORGEOUS interior design that is so soothing and hip. Run even in the heat of AZ over to the west side of this desert marketplace and do not miss this spot. Hoping for a location in So Cal someday!

Patio lunch during spring weather with visiting sister from out of state. Super pleasant server with a chill zen about her. Tried a watermelon mule cocktail, it was very mildly flavored but had melon balls as a fun garnish. The lunch menu is pretty limited. I do not eat fried foods so I did ask a lot of questions before ordering. I could not get the server to describe the 12 mixed vegetables, but she was very helpful in steering me towards the Ghengis Khan Beef which was spicy and wok fried, not crispy. I really enjoyed this dish and the fried rice was simple and had amazing depth of flavor and a great short grain texture. More please! Sis ordered crispy prawns with sweet chili sauce and the steamed mixed vegetables. They turned out to be an exotic blend of mushrooms, peppers, maybe bok choy but all delicious (she shared). We didn't save room for dessert but I am so glad to have tried this special occasion place. It's not often I can enjoy a $20 lunch plus cocktail!

What a pretty restaurant to begin... beautiful, relaxing and well thought out floor plan. Our waiter/bartender Stassi could not have been more helpful, informative and attentive. All without being imposing. We started with a cocktail(perfect), wok fried dumplings and Jinjia crispy egg rolls. All was perfect. Entrees included chili garlic shrimp, chili garlic fried chicken and vegetable stir fry. The shrimp, rice and veg were amazing. Chicken was just ok for me. Tasted amazing just a little chewy. All in all well worth a visit. Word of warning, you do have to search a bit for the entrance which is a little off putting but well worth the effort.

Jin Jia is an upscale restaurant, especially compared to the other restaurants in Desert Ridge, which is a nice change. Everything seems really well thought out, from the beautiful decor to the tables with the lazy Susan in the middle, the gorgeous bathroom area, and even their web site is pretty. We came in on a Saturday night around 6:30. There were 3 other tables but by the time we left there were likely 8 or 9 tables. They have private seating off to one side and then multiple round tables in the remainder of the restaurant. Service was exceptional. I wish I remembered our server's name because she had great recommendations and was extremely helpful.Jin Jia has an appealing wine and alcohol menu. Quite varied so everyone should be able to find something they like. They also have a reserve wine list that is impressive. After ordering our drinks, our server suggested the crispy egg rolls and it was a wonderful suggestion. Lovely sauce and nice crispiness. For dinner we enjoyed wok fried dumplings, a delicious noodle dish, and chili garlic fried chicken ( I am still thinking about this one!!) All portion sizes are generous and we had leftovers to take home. This is not a 'pick up some asian food on the way home' kind of place. It is an upscale restaurant and the food is perfect! The prices do reflect the quality of the food and the level of service. The appetizers are all around $17 and noodle dishes are $25. The chicken dishes come in around $40-yikes. They do not bring rice out like some restaurants- they charge extra for that. I loved my meal and will be back, perhaps for a special occasion.

Pros:- The space was beautiful, from the entrance to that gorgeous bathroom hallway or the dining area- Service was excellent - our waiter was very attentive, and very knowledgeable; the food arrived quickly- The food was very tasty, and we did not leave hungry.- Tables are set up with lazy susans for easy sharing - Plenty of free parking at Desert RidgeCons:- I was a little disappointed with the lack of vegetarian options (got the eggplant and string beans with rice, and it was delicious but it is one of only 3-4 vegetarian options on the menu)- The dishes aren't cheap (but again, the food is very good), and you have to pay extra for rice (which you would want with most dishes)- The menu was somewhat limited, especially considering this is a Chinese-Korean place. I'm used to very expansive menus when it comes to Chinese cuisine specifically- I know this is an upscale restaurant but I would have still really liked a fortune cookie at the end!

Service was excellent, and inside is beautiful.Loved our drinks, Star in the Sky, and Royal Fortune.Food was good, especially the Jin Jia Crispy Egg Rolls, Crab Egg Drop, Chili Garlic Fried Chicken, and the Wagyu Belly Chow Fun. The Black Bean Noodle (Jja Jang) was okay, it was drowning in sauce.The Milk Tea Custard with Fruit, and Glass Sweet Potatoes with Lemon Sorbet were good.Highly recommend a reservation, since it did get packed. I made mine 2 months in advance.

Jin Jia delivered on ambiance, and excelled in service! 5 stars for our wonderful waitress, who had the best personality, made wonderful cocktails, and made our dining experience extra special! The food was above average, and the quantity was abundant! Large enough to share, or serve family style. We got a couple happy hour items, the ribs are sticky and spicy, and the steamed dumplings were my favorite! We also ordered the stir fried vegetables, and Korean fried chicken. Would recommend Jin Jia, and look forward in coming back.

This is a great little find. Took over the space for CPK in Desert Ridge. If you have big hips or are on the plus side, you'll have to ask for a booth because the seats are definitely narrow and it is not comfortable. The menu is small which I actually appreciate because then it, in my opinion means they focus more on quality than quantity. The hot & sour soup was delicious. I would come in for this alone. The chili garlic friend chicken was awesome. The previous reviews were spot on with that recommendation. The pan fried dumplings were also good. The ribs weren't quite what I was expecting because they were more saucey but tender & fall of the bone for certain.Ghengis khan beef was also good. The winner was definitely the chicken!! Service was great. Everyone was very nice & attentive. Prices super reasonable for the portion sizes. Would definitely recommend

This is a really yummy spot in desert ridge. It's so elegant looking when you walk in and the staff are very kind. Met up with some of my friends and we tried a few different dishes I showed below. Was unable to capture the hot and sour soup but I think it was one of the best hot and sour soups I've ever had. It's on the larger side so can definitely share with up to 4 people.

The decor is gorgeous! The staff was Sooo sweet and on top of service. The food was delicious and uniquely presented. Love the family style turn table making it easy to share. The fried rice was HEAVEN. The soft shell crab was spicy and delicious. Will be back.
