Gin Gin Restaurant — Restaurant in Town of Amherst

A small restaurant that packs a big punch with flavor.

I've driven by this restaurant for probably 30 years. I remember when it used to be a donut shop. It's a whole lot better than that now.

My wife and daughter begged me for Chinese food. With Covid, that meant take out. We always try to find new places, so this was what we chose. What a tgreat choice.

I had seen a lot of pictures of exciting looking dishes and wanted to try them all. That wasn't going to happen in one visit so we had to pick only a few. I didn't know what to choose so I asked the owner to pick enough entree's for 4, add some soup and some sort of side dish.

We got enough food to feed an army!.

Sour soup, steamed dumplings, fried dumplings, hot wings, chicken and noodles, ribs, white rice and dried rice. I'm drooling just thinking about it.

OMG, wow! So many flavors, all delicious. Everyone kept saying how each dish they tried was better than the last. Afterwards I thanked the owner and he told me everything was all homemade. Yikes, how cool is that? He was proud of their fresh ingredients and how they make everything by hand, daily. Who does that these day?

Now the only question is what to order next!

You...

Stereotypical Chinese take-out restaurant, even the menu design is the the same as every other Chinese take-out restaurant, and so is the standard of food. It's not as cheap as you would expect though. It gets surprisingly busy and the woman running it was trying to take my order while taking down a delivery order on the telephone. I found that incredibly rude as I had to keep repeating myself because she was not really listening and sometimes talk on the phone while I was speaking, but as I tried to wait for her to finish the call, she would motion for me to order. A man came in after me who must have been a regular because she immediately hung up the phone, burst into a smile, how's the wife how's the baby would you like the usual order I throw in a free egg roll and bubble tea for you!! He obviously got his order before me as well. Gin Gin's is just another Chinese take-out and Chinese take-out is Chinese take-out in terms of food. Service (at least for non-regulars) leaves something...
