After reading the mixed reviews on Google, I decided to try it. We ordered Kung Po chicken, hot and sour soup, fried dumplings, and two flavored boba tea. The Kung Po chicken was wet and soaked in the average "brown sauce." Barely any flavor, all you can taste is "brown sauce." The hot and sour soup tasted like "brown sauce" with a cup of vinegar—barely anything in the soup. Fried dumplings were ok, but the soy sauce spilled out all over the other containers when we picked them up. Boba tea was below average, basically store-bought syrup with iced water; I can't taste any tea in them.
As an Asian, I would recommend this restaurant for their food, pricing, and the service. I have tried this restaurant more than 10 times and some of the reviews may have said something bad about this place but every restaurant has mad one mistake or so. But that does not make them bad. Gin Gin is an authentic Chinese restaurant, it has superb food and you should try out their "secret menu" in store that is posted on their wall for a more authentic Chinese food!
Gin gin has always been my go to for Chinese! So much delicious food for reasonable prices. My favorite General TsoWith lo mein and pork eggroll, the best noodles around, big and flat, a quart.of wonton soup and fortune cookies and I barely made a dent in all of it! All that for $23 and I'm a happy gal! Ten stars if they had em!?❤
Pretty authentic Chinese flavor to me, friendly staff here, will come back again.
I ordered a total of 3 combo plates. Chicken Lo Mein, Shrimp Lo Mein, and Mixed Veg with Chicken all three with pork fried rice. Two with an egg roll and one with Hot and Sour soup. The pork fried rice had pieces of burnt rice and veggies throughout. The vegetables were either canned (baby corn, mushrooms, water chestnuts) or soft (green pepper, celery, snow peas) instead of crisp in the Mixed Veg. The only things that we really enjoyed was the hot and sour soup and the fortune cookies which are half vanilla and half chocolate.
Was incredibly disappointed. Always enjoyed food prior to covid, but this was my first visit back and nothing was as I remembered. Not sure if there's been a change in ownership/ management, but the food was sub par at best. The broccoli had an unusual taste and the egg rolls and Rangoon were cold and barely filled. I have always raved about the food here so this was a real let down.My friend also ordered take out with me and was equally disappointed. And manager was incredibly rude when called.
My friend and I were more than disappointed. She and I have always enjoyed the food here very much until this time. We both ordered take out to bring home to our families for dinner. All of the food did not taste fresh and it was cold. It seemed like it was taken out of the fridge and warmed up. After hearing from my friend the next morning that her family wound up throwing their food away because it was not good, I decided to call the restaurant to complain. We will not be going back unfortunately. The egg rolls used to be piping hot and the best in Buffalo. They must’ve hired bad cooks.
This place is very cute and quaint. It’s very clean and I like the layout. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. The food’s the best I’ve had. There were actually vegetables in the entree I ordered where other places would maybe put a couple small cubes of carrots. It’s across town but this is where I’m going from now on.
Delicious food, and kind people. There’s something for everyone at Gin Gin
One of the best Authentic Chinese restaurants around with big portions! Your money is well worth. I totally recommend you trying out their authentic Chinese dishes.
