" Recommended by a friend, I finally visited Jin Yuan, and it did not disappoint! The fried dumplings were crispy and delightful. I also loved the spicy chicken dish. The atmosphere was vibrant, though it did get a bit noisy as the restaurant filled up. I’ll definitely return to try more dishes from this extensive menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I did enjoy my meal at Jin Yuan, I'm not sure if I would rush back. The flavors were decent but not mind-blowing. I ordered the chicken with broccoli and it felt a bit bland. The service was friendly and the ambiance was nice, but I was hoping for a more authentic taste. I think I'll explore other options in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining at Jin Yuan after hearing so many great things, but my experience was rather disappointing. The food was overly oily and tasted like it had been sitting out too long. I ordered the tofu dish, and it was mushy instead of crispy. The service was decent, but the quality of the food just didn't meet my expectations. I think I may explore other Chinese options in the area instead. " (*Curated Review*)

" Jin Yuan is one of my favorite places. I usually order the sweet and sour chicken, and it never fails to impress. The portions are always enough to have leftovers for lunch the next day. The service is always attentive yet not intrusive, just the way I like it. If you're in the area, I'd highly recommend stopping by! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing service with mediocre food. I expected a lot given the reviews but felt underwhelmed. The sesame chicken was average at best. I found it overly oily and not very flavorful. The only highlight was the friendly staff who were apologetic about the delay in my order. I won't be rushing back any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to Jin Yuan several times and it has always been a wonderful experience. They use fresh ingredients and everything is made to order, which makes a huge difference. I love their egg rolls and sweet and sour chicken. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for family dinners. The only downside is that it can get a bit busy on weekends, but the wait is worth it. I will be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles! The decor is cozy and inviting. We ordered the wontons as an appetizer, which were crispy and delicious. For dinner, I tried the General Tso's chicken, and it was one of the best I’ve had! It was crispy, sweet, and had just the right kick. This place is now on my list of favorite spots in Waterville!
