It's a nice restaurant on the inside. It's nice and quiet and the food was comforting.
Personal not the place for us when wanting the "American" Chinese food have grown up on. There are so many different regional styles and cooking techniques. No two places are the same. You really have to know the difference or your opinion won't be respected. Gin Gin from what I have been told is the place for a real traditional Asian soup. Lots of people swear by it. Service is fast and welcoming. You will walk-in and see a group of people all eating different types of soups. The inside is dated but what looks like a traditional Chinese eatery. I give 4 stars because I cannot judge them based solely on my experience. I want to acknowledge my inexperience in ordering what they are know for.
I love this little local family owned restaurant. I tell all my friends about this place. The owner is usually always working and super sweet. My personal go to order is a quart of milk tea and pork + preserved congee. I also really like the phoenix chicken. Highly recommend :) !
I oughta come here more. Very nice portion sizes for reasonable prices, though the food is standard Chinese fare (the scallion pancakes, though VERY hefty, were also kinda thick and starchy--again though, you get a lot of food for the same price). Will probably come back to see what else they have. The interior also looks very nice :D
4 stars for the extensive menu. I ordered crab rangoons which were a bit greasy and didn't come with any sauce. Also orange chicken which was ok. My bf got pig ear meal which he liked- but stuff like that is slightly outside of my comfort zone. I seriously couldn't believe how many options they have though. For people looking for something different, or I assume more authentic dishes than what we normally see here, definitely give them a shot! The bubble tea was delicious and I will definitely be back for that since it's so close!
This was our first visit (take-out) to Gin Gin and we were not disappointed. The woman working was very nice and the food was delicious. It is not the absolute favor Chinese food place of our house but it's a close second. Gin Gin offers an extensive menu selection of starters, soups, rice, noodles, house specials, and boba tea drinks. FOOD: -Hot and Sour Soup: The quest to find the best hot and sour soup in the city of Buffalo to replace my beloved one back home in Texas has been a long and disheartening one. I am glad to finally say that for me, a very suitable one has been found. I like a sweet taste to my H&S which this one had it just has what tastes like a yellow mustard flavor added. This is not my favorite flavor but it's not too overpowering to really make a huge difference and not a fan of water chestnuts. -Spicy Chicken with scrambled egg: It was nice. The egg was in one big clump so I didn't really get the benefit until the end of my meal but the sauce was nice and I was able to choose between white and dark meat. I like this option since white meat does not appeal to me in certain dishes. There are chopped chilies which give the whole dish a nice heat as you bite into it. Yum! -Sesame Chicken: It's ok. We were not disappointed nor were we impressed. DRINKS: -Bubble tea: The black boba must not have been microwaved long enough because some of them had cold hard centers. I have never microwaved my boba at home, only boiled, so I am not sure if this is normal for microwaved boba. The jasmine green tea was very nice. Not overly sweet which is what I prefer. Overall, I will be returning for the hot and sour soup but perhaps will try other dishes next time.
Enjoyed a fantastic meal takeout meal from here! The Orange Chicken was loaded with saucy chicken, a few pieces of broccoli, and white rice. As part of the dinner special, it also came with a side of soup. I chose the hot and sour soup which was AMAZING! Currently they are takeout only. They have several COVID safety measures in place too. Staff was friendly and pickup was quick. I highly recommend!
