Jin Zhou Garden — Restaurant in Virginia

Here's the important stuff... 1.) Placing an order is extremely easy...they can understand you & you can easily understand them. 2.) Jin Zhou has many dishes to choose from. From appetizers & soup to the entrées, looking at their menu makes you want to try everything! 3.) Our order was correct! Everything arrived as it should have...neatly packed with nothing missing. 4.) The food we ordered, which was quite a lot and was ordered an hour before their closing time, was prepared super quick. 5.) No MSG folks! Many Asian restaurants say that they don't use MSG but they actually do...it just goes by several different names. Technically, even though they use MSG, because their name for it is different, they say that they don't use it. You know someone's lying though when you're eating and those MSG symptoms hit you...especially if you're super allergic to it. Jin Zhou Garden honestly DOES NOT USE MSG...ANY. The three people in our family react badly to MSG...none of us suffered in ANY way after eating the food prepared here. All three of us got different entrées as well as three different soups & an appetizer. While we were still eating & afterwards, we all checked with one another to see if anyone was being negatively effected by the food...nope, all was well. Also, they do not use a TON of salt in their food. 6.) Everything was absolutely delicious! The smell was intoxicating, the appearance was rich & alluring and the flavor was YUM! I'm a pretty light eater usually but last night's meal was SO good, it had me snatching more food each time I told myself, "No more." 7.) Really fair, reasonable prices...some even lower than any other Chinese restaurant in the area.

If you're looking for some over-the-top, lit up like Christmas, huge restaurant with 200 selections drying out under heat lamps and an ever-growing line of customers lined up outside the bathroom door...then Jin Zhou Garden isn't for you. If you're looking for a small, humble, family restaurant where food is created with integrity and skill, then Jin Zhou Garden is the...

They claim that it's on film that my order was complete, but they refuse to send me the film, even though the manager said he would. We were on our way home from Breast Center at Valley Health because I've been dealing with cancer and because I just got access to money I was owed we splurged. The food is always soo good here. Unfghortunately I made ome very nasty comments on line about the owner and manager being duplicitous in claiming to have film of an item I ordered beoing placed in the bag with the order. When all was said and done,, my Mother whom has severe short term memory issues put that part of the order on a counter we weren't using last night. I would like to apoligize to all who read my diatribe and especially to the manager and owner of Jin Zhou Garden. I was absolutely wrong and beg forgiveness. I didn't make accusations for any other reasons than what I truely believed at the time. But when my Mother's involved, I certainly should know better.

All of my heartfelt apolygies. I truely was acting on what I believed at the time. I am so...

Visited for the first time. The food was very good. My husband got the hit and sour soup which was flavorful. He asked for it to be a bit spicier and got what he asked for. LOL! His chicken and black bean was very good. the veggies were crispy and cooked perfectly. I had egg foo young. the gravy was the best i had ever had- not too thick and very tasty. It was cooked a little more than I personally liked, but it was still very fluffy and light. We also tried chicken mei fun. the noodles were firm but not mushy and not oily, which we like. The General Tso was good but a bit on the sweet side for me. The chicken was battered in a way similar to sweet and sour chicken and the sauce was more sweet than spicy. Our son had asked for a little spicy and it wasn’t even that. The broc that came with it was excellent. Still crunchy and not soggy. Love that. Finally, the fortune cookies were very good. I know they don’t make them but wherever they get them the cookie is a tad sweet, great crunch and table fortunes inside. We will...
