Jin Yuan — Restaurant in Waterville

Expensive in comparison to quality. It perplexes me that these folks are rated in the 4s...the food is okay but not 4 anything material in my opinion.

At any rate, if you don't have an alternative and absolutely need to order delivery, it is what it is and yes they're probably the best quality food that does deliver.

But, if not, save your money because it's going to likely cost you around $60 or so to feed 2 people before the tip.

For what appears to be a lower cost and food at least twice as good, go to the competition across from the Elm Plaza. They're clearly the best in town.

I personally would have rated this place a solid 3 but their prices are crazy, again in my opinion. I went in the other night to pick up 1 order of veggie fried rice and 1 order of egg rolls and was already paying over $20 when the owner tried to hit me with another $5 when I asked for extra duck sauce. I told her no thanks.

Inflation is a problem yes, but, don't use it as an excuse and assume your customers will just shrug it off as "oh must just be inflation..." not cool.

Fast food duck sauce is almost literally apple sauce and rice vinegar, a 10x markup seems a little excessive to alongside outrageously priced...

Would've gave them 4 stars but something happened today on 02/02/20. So they uses to charge $12.00 for a order of ribs that came in one size, that size was a styrofoam container that held a lot of ribs. From what they said they had to switch from styrofoam to plastic due to health inspection. Totally understood that part. My issue is that the plastic container was visibly a lot smaller then the styrofoam container by almost 50% in which tells me it is holding less ribs but the price remains with tax $14.90. So I called the owner asking why I am paying the same price for less ribs in a smaller container, and the owner told me they always weigh it to 28oz, and the plastic container is deeper then the styrofoam. Now this is where I call their bluff because the styrofoam container was filled to the max which held WAY more than this small plastic container. So the point of all this is, why charge the same price for way less meat? And doesn't make sense that before it was 28oz when the styrofoam container held WAY more than 28oz. It would have been believable if she said their weight they go by now is 28oz, but then would need to charge less. Pretty much you are getting...

Excellent food - served steaming hot and very well prepared. Their House Lo Mein was served hot and the noodles cooked perfectly; it was packed with shrimp, chicken, and beef strips- all tender and juicy. Their combo plate had enough for two!! and the fried rice was hot flavorful and just as it they make it and ,of course , it was their version and thus not like a prior picture showing “another version of fried rice”. Egg rolls were hot and gigantic and had a wonderful crunch before biting into a pleasing vegetable meat combination filling. This dining experience is one that many should plan on for a casual friendly atmosphere with a wait staff that is welcoming and caring. This is not duplicated in any Asian restaurant in the region. There was a short wait time of 5 minutes but it is worth a little wait. Their meals are cooked from fresh ingredients , assembled after being freshly cooked and the taste is exceptional. No comparison in taste, presentation or freshness and the caring wait staff will be always be there for your questions. You’ve all tried many places but now it is time to try one of our region’s best Asian...
