The waitresses are friendly and attentive. The lunch menu offers a good range of selections, including soup (recommend #19 the winter melon and clams soup), vegetables, pork (#49 and 51, the later has hidden diced chili to surprise your taste buds), seafood, a few beef and lamb dishes (#61 is good). You will need to pay for the steamed rice which is charged by bowls. Overall, the taste of food matches the advertising Michelin award. Food portion is smaller while pricing is a little higher if compared to the nearby restaurants in SGV. Parking spots is limited in the adjoining parking lot, but there is an additional parking in the far back.

The food was okay. The chicken dish we ordered were all bones and very few pieces with meat on them. The beef soup was really good. The egg was silky and light. The pork belly was the best. It literally melted in your mouth. Because it's so rich and heavy that I couldn't have more than two pieces. The veggies was good, the same as everywhere else. Although the servers were very attentive to our needs, I don't appreciate them started clearing the table while I am still signing the credit receipt. For a Michelin star restaurant, I am not impressed.

We came early around 11:30 am and no wait on weekend. We are large group and lucky there is only 2 tables left for large group. My fav are dry spicy pork intestine pot, crab, fried fish and Shanghai baby ribs. Bitter melon with egg yolk is good too, a little more bitter than the flavor we eat. I like the way they cook. Light and not too overwhelming for sou sauce flavor. Will come again for sure to try other dishes. Price is also very reasonable too. Has small car park on the side and back. Cost about 240 for 9 people.

We came here because of the michelin guide sign that we have been seeing every time we pass by Alhambra. We were pretty disappointed because we were expecting more flavor on the food. The corn and chicken soup was tasteless, Xiao long bao has thick dumpling skin and very little soup, seaweed fish is tasteless. The only dish that's good was the steam fish... Parking was easy for Friday night

Food is delicious and the service is good. We’re told that the kitchen is closed on 3pm, we thought it’s time to finish our food and leave, but the staff told us don’t rush they will still be there. That’s nice.

If without the hype, I may enjoy this place more. It is truly just an above average Chinese restaurant. For sure not those kind hole on the wall type. The food taste good but not outstanding, the service is excellent consider this is a Chinese restaurant, haha, you know what I mean. The price is also fair. Again, I sure will come back if I am in the neighborhood, but not deliberately.

- Sweet Red Bean Pancake ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Love it! Just the right amount of sweetness! If I ever visit the restaurant again, this will definitely on my order list! - Dong Po Pork ⭐️⭐️ Too much oil. The portion is really large so you probably wouldn’t want to order it unless there are 3+ people. I don’t like the pork as there’s just too much oil but the broccoli is really good 😂 although it’s not the focus of the dish - Seaweed Fried Fish ⭐️⭐️ It’s almost flavorless unless you dip the salt in a small plate that comes with the main dish. I can’t really taste any seaweed but the fish inside is tender and juicy. Just not much flavor. Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Environment: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This place was really solid, great service and tea smoked duck was good but not my first choice. Spare ribs were the stand out dish, seaweed fish was good too.

Above average food quality and tastes. Mainland Chinese cuisine that is not Cantonese, Teochew, not Hokkien. Some seafood items are market priced. Lobster was $40/pound when I visited and also required a 1-day advance order. Excellent attentive service from the staff. 1 VIP room area with 2 tables, each seating 10. Minimum charge for a VIP table is $400. Rice is $1.95 per bowl (not large). Nothing special about the interior. Plenty of free parking. For those who like pork belly, get the Dong Po pork.

Do not believe the other reviews. You get 5% discount for reviewing them on Yelp or Google. We had the shimmering shrimp and the only characteristic thing of it was sugar, there is no depth no amount of redeeming it. We also had the salt duck which was ok. Wonton soup might have been. The most edible dish we had. The raw crab was a bit too much MSG. The Pork Abalone dish was ok. The scallion noodles with shrimp roe was bad as the noodles were overcooked and you could barely taste the shrimp roe and scallion . The braised sea cucumber was quite a vile dish that was not properly prepared, it needed more braising and cleaning. It was so bad that we left the leftovers in their parking lot. Please do not visit this establishment.

Lots of great delicious choices here so be adventurous & try something new. Definitely must try the beef rolls & the rice cakes. This place is a bit pricier than your traditional mom & pop type of Chinese restaurant, but it’s worth it. Great for groups since it’s family style.

The decor here is not like your typical Chinese Restaurant. The food is good. Small things could make it better. Of the dishes we tried the Kung Pao Chicken and the Eggplant with Pork were the best. The fried fish fillet with seaweed was really good, but to me could greatly benefit from a nice light sauce - maybe even on the side. We tried a soup dish that was recommended by an article in the LA Times and it was just ok. It had what looked like a noodle, but turned out to be a bean curd based thing. Definitely not going to order that one again. Not even sure if it’s on the menu.

Don’t judge a book by its cover. I found Jiang Nan Spring in Eater for a family/birthday get together for 11. The exterior could use some improvement, kinda worried me since it was our first visit. They had plenty of free parking which is nice these days. When you walk in, we were very impressed compared to exterior. - simple yet elegant decor. It was like walking into a nice boutique hotel. As soon as we sat down the service staff was on it with tea and water, followed by drink orders. I took on the task of ordering. Thank goodness for those pictures because when you need to order for 11 it really helps with the decision making. It may seem tacky but all we care about is whether the food is good or not. The staff came by several times while I was trying to pick things to order. Once I got a base order, the server was helpful in making suggestions and making sure we had enough food. We did pretty good, everyone was full and not enough leftovers to make it worth taking home. The food was spot on. The xiao loong bao, green onion pancakes, hot & sour soup; crab with rice cake;; pork with pepper salt; lions head stew; string beans; crispy noodles; beef with onions; Shanghai short ribs; probably forgot a few. It was all good. I don’t want to call it basic but it was really good go-to Chinese dishes. There have been many times we have been disappointed with the simplest of dishes at other restaurants. The service was great. The food came out at a good pace. The servers kept our drinks and tea pots filled. They even changed out our plates several times and took away the dirty plates (these simple things are not done at other Chinese restaurants, a pile of dirty plates is not appetizing). Plus, new clean plates is so nice when you have so many different dishes you are eating family style. They even had candles we forgot for the birthday cake we brought from Portos. They cleared our table set up the cake. Even asked if we were ready for staff to sing happy birthday, we said no but the gesture was appreciated. The only price I asked about was the crab with rice cake, it was $60, which I thought was reasonable and what we got was more than fair. The xiao loong bao was $14 which I think is about the same as Ding Tai Fung. Nonetheless, the restaurant deserved to charge whatever they wanted because they checked the boxes for a nice restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised when the bill came it was only $350 total including 18% tip they totaled for me. A few of us had beers and soda too. Anyways, I was ready to pay $500 and would have been happy to. I have paid more and not been this satisfied. At the end of the day, Jiang Nan Spring served tasty food at more than reasonable prices for the ambiance and great service they provided. We found a new spot and will be back.

The food is much improved compared to when they first opened. The Avocado Preserved Egg Salad, Smoked Fish, Seaweed Fried Fish and Green Onion Pie are must tries.
