Jinli Sichuan Cuisine

I’ve eaten here many times and the food is all amazing. I’ve never had a bad dish here and the service is quick and friendly. I’m a big fan of any of their dumplings, very delicious and authentic. The egg drop soup, sesame noodles, and hot and sour rice noodles are also amazing! The sizes are usually large and prices are very reasonable. They also give half an orange for free to end a great meal! And have a great rotation of seasonal specials. You will never be disappointed eating here. My favorite place for dumplings in all of New Jersey!

We have been going to Jinli for several years, even though it’s a 45 minutes drive from our house — we love the food and staff and have never been disappointed. The place has something for everyone and the flavors are authentic and delicious. Our favorites are Fish filet in Sichuan chili oil, cumin lamb and the kids love the sesame chicken! Strongly recommended for amazing Sichuan food for the whole family!

We had a great experience dining here. Good food, good service and nice atmosphere.

Went here for the first time with 9 people Saturday night. We ordered different Soup Dumplings, Spring Rolls, Dumplings with Chili Sauce, Wanton Soup, Cold Spagetti and everything was absolutely delicious. Our entrees were The Twice Cooked Pork Belly, Spicy Beef with Green Chilies, Orange Chicken, Shrimp & Vegetables, etc. and again everything was fantastic. The waitress was super nice, friendly and helpful with questions & recommendations. Everyone in the group was thrilled with Jinli and we will all definitely be going back again.

If you're looking for up to standard authentic Chinese Sichuan food, try this place! Delicious, place is nicely decorated and priced accordingly. You could also ask for less spicy or less salty as well.

Every menu item is delicious and the seafood is amazing quality. The cucumber salad is amazing. The customer service is excellent

One of the best Chinese food in Central Jersey! This is not your typical Chinese restaurant serving general tso’s and lo mein - properly serving regional Sichuan cuisine. With Sichuan more on the spicier side, plenty of options for milder tastes. Spicy foods are clearly labeled with ‘hot pepper icons’.

Place is phenomenal. My family and I love sichuan peppercorn chicken and it's hard to find a good restaurant that isn't too far of a trip. This place is perfect, on par with Han Dynasty in Philadelphia which is my favorite. The flavorful spiciness along with that mouth tingling effect only sichuan pepper corns can give is balanced perfectly at Jinli. I'll be coming here a lot more often in the future. 5 stars easily in my book.

Authentic Sichuan cuisine! Fish fillet soup was pleasantly refreshing. I’d recommend their Sichuan spicy chicken and scallion pancake, too. Their lamb plate and crab dish looked good as well. Can’t wait to try them next time.

I had lunch here for the first time and I highly recommend Jin Li SiChuan Cuisine, if you are looking for a slightly higher end meal in a nice setting. The steamed flounder fillet with baby bok choy was excellent. The fish melted in your mouth. The Smoked Tea duck was good, the flavor was very strong, so make sure you will like that if you order it. The server made a great recommendation, Sauteed Snow Pea Shoots with Garlic. We had excellent service with at least 6 people who helped us at one time or another. We were a little early for lunch so choose your time if you want to have the same service. I don't usually take pictures of the food, but the presentation was beautiful. Which is obvious by how many pictures other customers have posted already.

Authentic and flavorful. I ordered the 'Chongquing grilled fish with vegetables and peanuts' and it was great. Spacious place and pleasant. I will eat at Jinli Sichuan Cuisine again. The dessert was very good too, sticky rice balls stuffed with sesame butter.

It’s a great Sichuan food restaurant, delicious, beautiful decor, clean, and cheap. It is also friendly to people who cannot eat spicy food.

Excellent Chinese food! We had dinner for two on a Sunday night and the service was impeccable. We started with the dumplings in chili sauce and received a complimentary appetizer, which was so nice of the restaurant. For entrees, we had the Chongqing spicy chicken and bok choy. Both dishes were very fresh and tasty. Highly recommend! We look forward to returning and trying more dishes.

Authentic 四川 (Si-Chuan) food! Service was very fast. Food tasted amazing.

Don't get me wrong, I am not born in China so I have no idea what "authentic" taste like, but my parents are natives to China and they claim the dishes are "authentic".

Below are pictures of the food we ordered. The appetizer is also free if you spend over $20 total. The appetizer was great, too.

If there was one thing I wish could be improved, it would be the tea served, as it didn't taste too fresh, but I feel that's trivial.

OVERALL:
Food 5/5
Service and speed 5/5
Tea quality 3/5
Cleanliness 5/5
Customer care 5/5
Menu variety 5/5 (some might say 3/5)

Side note, the location of the restaurant (right next to well known Asian Food Market) is very convenient, attracting many customers of all diversity!

Cucumber salad & Dan-dan noodles w/pork & Gen Tso's chicken & Chicken w/broccoli ---- all were excellent and fresh/flavorful; portions were more than ample and good value.

Excellent restaurant, the best chinese restaurant I went to in the county and by far. The meat is thinly sliced, as all the ingredients, great flavors on all the dishes we've tried. I will come again

The food was absolutely incredible. So authentic - so much taste. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with our questions. Come hungry because you will get your moneys worth!

This is one of our favorite authentic Chinese food places in town. We usually order their Lao-ma pig-feet soup and spicy-sour bean-noodles. We have been coming to this place for several years and the quality of service is always very nice and warm too!

Very authentic Sichuan restaurant, chef from NYC ,he original from Sichuan China, so the flavor here is just right, not American Sichuan flavor ! The decor inside is fantastic! Love the new place:)

Loved the food! As someone who grew up in Sichuan, I can attest to the authenticity of the food here. Good portion and decor! The people are really nice and try to accommodate to different diet requirements! Highly recommend!
