Jin Jin Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Niceville

I'm a lifelong Niceville resident. Jin-Jin had always been second best to the now defunct Hong Kong. But when Hong Kong started to crumble and subsequently closed, I started going to Jin-Jin regularly. Well, that was up until the product quality began to slip, and I eventually stopped going to Jin-Jin altogether. Quite frankly, it's been many years since I've stepped foot in this place.

Today, I had a hankering for some chinese food and decided to give Jin-Jin another go. The lady behind the counter exchanged no pleasantries and took my order almost immediately, as a small child colored next to her. The restaurant was clean, although it's definitely showing its age. The food was mediocre at best and wasn't worth what I paid for it.

The flavor was somewhat bland, some of my vegetables were undercooked, and there was hardly any meat. To make matters worse, I ordered enough food for two people, and I got only one fortune cookie 🥠... How dare they! 😲

I'm very sorry to say, I now know why I stopped going to Jin-Jin. I don't think I'll ever go back, and that makes me sad. This is one of the few places left in Niceville that I remember from my adolescence.

Owner: If there's anything I can do to help, please feel free to reach out. I'm not certain of the challenges involved in running a chinese restaurant, but I sure pray that you guys get it figured out. This kind of thing will ruin...

Waited an hour for barely warm food. The spring rolls were mostly wrapper with a few soggy vegetables. The combination fried rice was dry and kind of crunchy and had a 6 shrimp in the whole container. The sesame chicken was more breading than chicken. The other members of our party had similar feedback on the other items we ordered. The best things in the entire order were the fortune cookies and the condiments. Definitely will not go back to Jin Jin in the future.

The order was called in for pick up and we were told it would be ready in an hour. No third party was involved. Even if one was, that's no excuse for poor...

You're definitely going to read some extreme differences in reviews for this restuarant but this is mine... Jin Jin in Niceville is very good. I love their Sesame Chicken best. I do wish they would put more veggies in the friend rice but that's just me.. It could use some updating but is always clean with a few tables to eat at inside. The staff is quick and friendly and the price is average & fair for the amount of food. I have a shellfish allergy and have no issues eating here, which s a huge plus for me. (note- the Jin Jin in Crestview, is ran by a different family and is not good...
