    The hot pot at jin jin was amazing. It was our first time trying out hot pot and the waitress was very helpful. She made sure to explain every step and even made us her favourite sauce. The broth was very flavourful and the meat tasty. The hot pot was all you can eat including soft drinks for £25 each. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. However, when we went there was only one waitress so of course the service was little bit slow but it is worth the wait and honestly not something that bothered me.

    Order from jinjins yesterday for takeaway as was staying in Oxford for a few nights and this was recommended to me. Must say it was a pretty dam good Chinese. Me & my wife ordered the Chinese chicken balls, shredded beef and then also chips and spring rolls and it all tasted great. Would definitely eat here again when in Oxford next.

    Our go-to place for hot pot, £25 per person for hotpot, including drinks(you can choose any drink that says £1.80 on the menu) Ingredients are all frozen but tastes okay. Avoid peak hours.

    Great value for money large portions really tasty food the staff are wonderful. Went in for hotpot £25 all you can eat couldn't believe how good it was! If you're new to hotpot the staff will explain everything to you and will guide you throughout the meal. Have only ever ordered take out, dining in is definitely better. By far one of the best Asian restaurants on Cowley Road if not the whole of Oxford!!

    Very little duck and it’s mainly skin! Just a few strands of mushroom! Probably cos mushroom is too expensive in this country?! Edit: reduced to 1 star because initially the reply was asking me to call the restaurant. Now they are justifying that the duck given was mostly skin and the ridiculous little mushroom that could be barely found. I tried hard to dig out the mushroom in order to take a photo and I shouldn’t have done that. I haven’t seen this amount served in a restaurant back home.

    Really good little restaurant! Got the HotPot, was really nice and a unique eating experience. Recommend the beef strips, but dont bother with the fillet. The crispy chicken was really nice too

    Absolutly delicious food, with great service and atmosphere. The portions are a good size and the price is reasonable as well. We are vegan and gluten-free and still had many possible dishes.

    Fantastic evening. Food was wonderful. Atmosphere was great. Staff really attentive and went extra mile to not only order a taxi, but to wait with us and follow up that taxi arrived for us. Superb !! Special thanks to Vicki for going this extra mile!!

    Come for the hotpot buffet! You won’t leave disappointed. Excellent value too @ £20/person for all you can eat with no time limit and drinks and sauces included.

    The most Lovely, kind staff. The staff take good care of you, the food is so fresh and you see a lot of people in the restaurant. Food is very fresh, tasty and good quality. I always go here when I have had a long day at work and I’m taken very good care of. Lots of different dishes to try and I highly recommend them. The staff is very friendly and the best restaurant in cowley. I would recommend here for quick service and lots of options. Staff are very approachable and will make sure your looked after and speak very good English. The staff are amazing. I always eat half in the restaurant and pack half to take home hence the half portions. Food is still super tasty the next day

    Me and my husband went to Jin Jin for their all-you-can-eat hotpot. Excellent value for money: the food was really tasty and soft drinks/teas were included in the price. Service was flawless. The place is quite casual and has a relaxed atmosphere.

    Absolutely love this place. The staff is lovely and caring with great customer service. The food is simply delicious and unique, especially would like to point out my personal favourite - the beef broth noodle. The place feels loved for it's Chinese cuisine authenticity because of how popular it is amongst the chinese residents/locals of Oxford. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

    I have been to this establishment many times, 13 times to be precise. I’ve taken many of my friends here, each time I’m astounded by the sheer breadth of selection on the menu! Every time I did not shy away from spending at least £60 to really indulge in this wonderful food. Hands down, I’m saying this is the best Chinese restaurant in Oxford. The serving staff are wonderful, the food is marvelous and the kart from which you can make your own sauce concoction is amazing! No other restaurant has that - it’s a really unique experience. You have to come to this restaurant if you find yourself in Oxford.

    The mapo tofu is a bit salty, but their pork and chili fish is amazing as far as UK Chinese food goes. Great hospitality and nice cosy environment. Very limited space so if you're coming better make sure you reserve as they seem full most of the time.

    Food poisoning. I just returned from holiday off a late flight - following day had nothing but yoghurt and fruit for breakfast. Ordered from here that night. A few hours later, I developed food poisoning and still have not recovered over 12 hours later. I did not order rice, but made my own, so the bacteria was present in either the chicken or pork ribs. I must say that I have previously ordered from here on two occasions, with no issues. However, last night’s order will be my last as there must be some serious disregard for food safety and handling in recent weeks. Salt level was also off the scale yesterday - Dead Sea levels of salt. Avoid. Save yourself

    Very reasonably priced delicious food. Vicky who served us was super efficient, polite and very attentive. She gets a straight 10/10 for her service. Menu was extensive and food was presented well. Little touches like the sauce counter, complimentary prawn crackers and a fortune cookie added to the experience. Parking is on street. It is cash only. Cash machine is right opposite the restaurant.

    Such amazing food and such amazing service! We were in Oxford for 8-days to attend a course and stumbled upon this lovely little restaurant. The food was super tasty and fresh, and the lady at the front was super sweet and friendly. We ended up going 3 times during our trip since it was just that good!

  • 2/5 mala n. 1 year ago on Google
    Only giving 2 stars because the service was great - friendly and fast! Unfortunately can’t say the food was nice - the mushroom omelette was bland (no salt) and the chow mien was ridiculously salty. The veggie dumplings and spring rolls were okay but nothing special. The chicken skewers were over cooked and rubbery. To top it off, it was very expensive. Feel let down as was really looking forward to this meal.

    Order delivery food via Deliveroo at 19:00, expected 19:35. Arrived 20:45. Called restaurant twice and kept making up excuses about Cowley Rd traffic, dumping responsibility on driver. Asked for a refund they said talk to Deliveroo. Stuff arrived half cold. They lost a good customer.

    Friendly staff and good food. Must try the unlimited hotpot!!

  • 5/5 Monica 2 years ago on Google
    Jin Jin is a great Chinese restaurant. The environment and food is very good and typically found in China. Prices are cheap and staff are nice. I really enjoyed hotpot there and I'd recommend the prawn crackers, fried chicken and pork!
