  “Really authentic Chinese food! Forgot how many times I’ve been there but never got disappointed once! Even my local friends love food at Jin Ji! If you like seafood, you have to get fresh seafood from a nearby Asian supermarket, then this restaurant can cook it for you. Honestly best seafoods I’ve had in Manchester.”

  “Taste of roast duck and sauce was not bad, but the rice was dry. The slow cooked soup was ok, but can be tastier. Service was not attentive but accommodative. Wanted to try the coconut chicken soup but was too expensive. Doesn't come with a small portion.”

  “Cosy little dining place. Fast and efficient service. Food is authentic and tasty, especially their signature pepper chicken and pork intestine soup. Value for money.”

  “The best Chinese restaurant ! All the food is delicious, every bite is full of flavor. I have been here more than 20 times. It’s kind of my comfort food <3 Go for lunch set, it’s just £10 with big portion. Highly recommend!!”

  “Update: we brought our own seafood here to have it cooked. Absolute dynamite! Ate a great meal here. Dishes all had authentic Cantonese flavors. They use high quality ingredients and make some really good soups. They are famous for their Pork Tripe and Chicken Pepper Soup which is served on a candle lit stove. Also have some seasonal seafood / fish. Best to go with someone who can order in Chinese. Apparently this place gets really busy with students during the school year.”

  “The most authentic Chinese food I’ve had in the UK thus far! Had the Coconut Chicken Soup (£25) and the Braised Big Intestine Rice Noodle Soup (£10). Both were amazing. The chicken meat in the Coconut Chicken Soup was very tender (even the breast) and the soup was sweet but not heavy (unlike coconut milk-based soups). The Braised Big Intestine Rice Noodle had a thick broth and the big intestines were really flavourful. This restaurant was the highlight of my Manchester Trip and I will be back.”

  “Small restaurant with a warm and friendly waitresses. So surprised they have goose dishes in UK. They might have Hakka chefs, most of the dishes are Hakka taste. We tried Pork bellies chicken soup and coconut chicken soup, they were very tasty, especially have them in cold and rainy nights.”

  “Although the decor & ambiance are quite good - it resembles a traditional Chinese restaurant of old, it is a bit chilly here (my family visited in January) - so you may have to keep your coat on ! I noticed a halogen heater pointed in the direction of another table (maybe you can get warmer if you are close to a power socket...) The food is OK - and it is slightly cheaper than the average Manchester Chinatown restaurant (my wife liked the casseroles pictured), & there is a good variety of rice & noodle dishes available. Customer service wise, it is "nominal" with at times, service without a smile. The restaurant seems to have a target clientele of ethnic Chinese, given many slogans & words inside don't have an English translation, although English menus are available.”
