Jin House - Amherst

In general, probably some of the best Chinese, Japanese food around. Consistent, good quality ingredients. Do miss the days of dining in. Although that seems to be a thing of the past for many restaurants. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 2

The Jin House was highly recommended by multiple people. In fact, I was excited to finally have an opportunity to try it out. Unfortunately, I have to say that the Jin House was not any better than other Asian restaurants between Huron and Amherst/Lorain. It is getting to a point where I am starting to feel that these Asian carry out joints are less interested in quality and taste and are more interested in quick turnaround. This is too bad because I used to enjoy so many dishes at these places. It may be time for me to visit the Emperor's Palace on Rockwell. They always had good Chinese food in a sit-down restaurant which I also miss. The atmosphere in the Jin House left a lot to be desired while we waited for our food. It felt dirty and run-down which never inspires confidence when getting food to eat. One last thought, do not order the seaweed salad. It was by far the worst I've ever had and the scoop they provided was miniscule. Price per person: $20–30 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 1

The food is usually very good but the hired help is terrible. They are clueless about the items on the menu. They don’t know the difference between sushi, nigiri, sashimi or any other menu item. They should at the very least have a working knowledge of what they serve. Service: Take out Meal type: Other Price per person: $10–20
