" Had a mixed experience last night. I ordered the sweet and sour shrimp and while the flavor was good, the shrimp were overcooked and tough. The fried rice side was nice, though. Service was solid; our server was friendly and attentive. I think I’ll give it another chance since I've enjoyed their food in the past. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Jin Yuan for the first time recently and was blown away by the quality of the food. The chef really knows how to balance flavors. I ordered the combo platter and was impressed by the variety and quality of the meats. The space was cozy and the service friendly. It's now my go-to for Chinese food in Waterville! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a gem! I've eaten in numerous Chinese restaurants in Maine, but Jin Yuan stands out with its extensive, varied menu and consistently flavorful dishes. Each meal feels crafted with care. The service was attentive without being intrusive. I'll definitely be returning to try more items! " (*Curated Review*)

" Jin Yuan has a charm that keeps bringing me back! The menu is filled with traditional dishes that taste as if they came straight from a Chinese home kitchen. I especially love their hot and sour soup, which is perfectly balanced. The staff is always welcoming, making it a pleasant spot to unwind after a long day. The only downside is that I sometimes have to wait for a table, as it can get busy during peak hours, but I don't mind the wait for such delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had a birthday dinner here, and it was incredible! The staff brought out a complimentary dessert which was a lovely gesture. I ordered the spicy Szechuan chicken, and it was the best I've ever had. The flavors were vibrant and perfectly spicy. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and conversation, making it a fun evening out. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a nice dining experience! " (*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!
