Food came cold! We ordered grilled fish and some vegetable soup which was served beautifully on large plates but ... The food were all luke warm, grilled fish was in room temperature oil. Worst thing was the added pork slices to the grilled fish were all stuck together (likely thrown into the pot without being thawed properly) Taste of food was average to good but the room temperature food, meat slices stuck together really ruined the meal entirely! Service was poor to average, waiter was really uninterested in serving us and even forgot the coke we ordered Overall do not recommend this restaurant unless you don't mind cold food on your plate!

Nice clean restaurant with very fast service. Kung pao and duck pancakes were very tasty. Dry hotpot was also enjoyable. Good portion sizes all round too :)

The environment was a bit crowded. We went on a weekday but it was still quite packed. Nonetheless, the food was pretty delicious and reasonably priced. We ordered the stir fried cabbage, garlic pork belly slices, pork intestine and fish hotpot and chilli lamb. Overall, the food was quite good especially the cabbage. The fish hotpot was slightly too salty but really hit the spot with the amount of chilli and sichuan peppercorn. Will definitely come back when I crave spicy food!

After aimlessly walking around Chinatown several times me and my wife finally chose this place. I got the prawn chow mein and it was ok. Didn’t seem to have much flavor but was still good. Wife got the Szechuan chicken and it was delicious but unfortunately it did not come with any rice. Later discovered that you can order rice as a side for £4.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Jinli. We saw Mary Berry here on bbc and had to try it. I’ve not experienced Chinese food like this before. The flavours in each dish and quality of ingredients are worlds apart from what I have been used to. Will definitely be back soon and will be recommending Jinli without doubt.

Went there withe family.. We ordered sweet and sour soup (no pork) and vegetable tofu soup, stir fried veg and chicken dumplings for starters, then veg noodles, beef with vegs and boiled rice and scallops with ginger and green onions with egg fried rice. The hot and sour soup was really nice, needed a little more vinegar to my taste, the other soup was very mild in flavor, the dumplings were very good and the mixed vegs were as expected. The noodles lacked flavor, the beef and boiled rice were good and I really liked the scallops and ginger and the egg fried rice was excellent... Good overall, nothing special, the service was acceptable. Not a keeper but an OK to try.
