" I visited Jian's Kitchen a few days ago and found the place to be a cozy restaurant. For an underground location, it had a pleasant vibe. The food was quite good. I had the cumin lamb and it was spot on (though could’ve used a bit more spice for my taste). Portion sizes are generous, making it great value for the money. Service was fine, nothing spectacular, but they were attentive enough. I would recommend this place to anyone craving authentic northeastern Chinese cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had dinner at Jian's Kitchen and wow, what a delightful experience! The moment we stepped inside, we were welcomed by the warm ambiance. I ordered the mapo tofu and was taken aback by the authentic flavors; it wasn’t overly greasy. My friend had the cumin lamb, and we both agreed it was the best lamb dish we've ever had. Service was friendly, though a bit slow at peak hours. Nevertheless, the food more than made up for it. I can't wait to come back and explore more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was not impressed with Jian's Kitchen. Although the interior was cozy and inviting, the food did not deliver. The lamb dish was mostly onions, and while they tried to spice it up, it was unfulfilling. Service was average, and I noticed that some tables around us felt neglected. I may find a different place next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic dining experience at Jian's Kitchen. The dishes were packed with authentic flavors, which is exactly what I was looking for. The spicy options were especially good! Service was a bit slow, but the food made it worthwhile. Definitely a place worth revisiting for authentic Chinese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes coming to Jian's Kitchen based on all the glowing reviews, and I was not disappointed! The guobao pork is something I will dream about; it has the perfect balance of sweet and sour. The dumplings were also a joy. The wait staff was incredibly friendly; they even helped us navigate the menu since it was our first visit. I also appreciated the effort they put into presenting the food nicely. Overall, it felt like an authentic dining experience where the cuisine was made with love. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't understand all the hype over Jian's Kitchen. The food was mediocre at best. My portion of chicken felt small, and it wasn't seasoned well. While I appreciated their efforts for decor, the actual eating experience was far below my expectations. Service was another point of disappointment as I found the staff to be inattentive. I don't think I’ll be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Jian's Kitchen when searching for a different dining experience, and I was not disappointed! The deep-fried pork chops were crispy, and the flavors were so on point. It's definitely more authentic than most typical Chinese restaurants I've visited. The service was fine; nothing out of this world but definitely good. I left feeling satisfied and looking forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)
