Reviews for Jinli Sichuan Cuisine in Marlboro, NJ
We went to Jinlin for a special birthday. What a disappointment. The service was non-existent. We got water in paper cups,... asked for condiments and never received them, asked for ice and never received it. The main course came out with theappetizers, and we never got dinner plates. Imagine eating your entire meal on an appetizer plate. They have no idea how toserve and staff is RUDE! $300 dollars down the drain. We tipped according to service and the hostess ran after us in theparking lot asking for more money, and continued to harass us by calling to ask for a bigger tip. DO NOT RECOMMEND THISRESTAURANT.

Love this restaurant! Used to drive 30 min to just come eat here, but recently moved to the area and now it's just 3 minutes... away. They have amazing food ans friendly service. The menu is quite large and they have everything from traditional Chinesedishes to more authentic options. Also, the bubble teas are yummy and very fresh. The decor is beautiful and more upscale thanyour other local Chinese restaurants. Highly recommend Jinli! Read more
Below average food... Went for dinner, the place was completely empty on a Monday night. There were a few take-out orders, but... nobody else came in to sit and eat. We were seated and given two used paper menus. We ordered our food and got it very timely(of course, we were the only people there). The food wasn't that good though. The noodles were way too salty and the broccolididn't have enough sauce on it. The spring rolls were okay?they were a bit greasy, however. In conclusion , I probably won't becoming back here anytime soon. The food wasn't great by any means, and there was no "x-factor" or whatever that would make mecome back. Read more
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 sesamebutter. Read more
AWWWWFUL. I ordered two things - Wonton Soup and Bacon and Scallions entry. They messed up 4 things. Soup was tasteless, with 4... small wontons in a quart. the $16 entree was literally bacon and Scallions in (dirty) oil. Tiny dish maybe 4 slices of regular,not special bacon. No sauce. The soup noodles were stale. VERY stale. And no sauce, no mustard. Perhaps the worst local chineseever. Read more
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. Read more
The food was very good. A little spicey for me but obviously everyone has different tolerances. The decor was very nice and all... the plates, tea cups and chop sticks we're brand new. The service was not so great, but it was a Saturday night and they arestill feeling out the staff they need I think. This is a very authentic Chinese menu so be prepared. Read more
Fantastic food with an incredible variety. No problem accommodating the 'no-meat eaters' as well and adjusting levels of... spiciness. Must try(s): Dan-dan noodles, eggplant and string beans, and the shredded potatoes with chili. Read more
