Jin Li - City of London,Westminster

Don't understand the poor reviews. Been visiting for several years though not in evening so can't comment on that but always have great service from friendly staff. Food excellent quality, piping hot, but unlike other places the individual dishes are very large, basically a meal in itself or to share. True, it's not cheap, more like value for money if you enjoy quality. The environment is very pleasant in a modern but still traditional decorations. We are always pleased to see a restaurant own nationality eating there as it can't be bad. And the bonus of having its own car park is the cherry.

To say this was disappointing is a huge understatement how you can call this Chinese food is blasphemy. I suggest you get new chefs and dont charge as much for the garbage I received.

On the 11th Feburary I ordered the Set meal C for 2 persons for £78.60, delivery &service charge taking it to £87.75. The seafood meal was not what we expected. Not only was it waiting to be picked up for 15 20 minutes before the driver turned up, he then had another drop off before delivering. I ended up waiting well over an hour for food at this restaurant which is an 8, yes 8 minute drive away. You would think that the most expensive set meal would be quality, but you would be wrong. Cheap supermarket microwave meals would have been of a better quality than this. The restaurant really let themselves down. The seafood mixed starter made up of the following was disgusting: satay prawns, squid, cripsy seaweed, prawn toast, butterfly king prawns. Everything was soggy, including the seaweed! It mostly ended up in the bin. We didn 't eat the friend king prawns with brocoli they tasted as if they had been boiler in water for 30 minutes. Completely vile. Straight to the bin. The mixed vegetables were wattery and flavourless. The egg fried rice was good. Surprisingly the mussles in black bean sauce were very good, still hot and not overcooked! This was the only part of the meal I was happy about. The lobster was clearly overcooked but still mostly edible. I have ordered from JinLi 3 4 times and it was normally good, this time however it was completely terrible. Had I been in the restaurant the food would have been sent back. Having paid £87 for the meal, I feel completely let down by this restaurant and ripped off. I don 't think I 'll ever be ordering from them again.

Unwelcoming, rude and food overpriced. I Was at Hillingdon hospital for treatment and wanted something to eat before I went back in. This is a dark miserable place that makes you feel like dirt on their shoes apart from one young waiter food I ordered: mixed starters £15! which were unappetising and egg fried rice and chicken in oyster sauce total: £33 for one person! Totally overpriced and a horrible experience in a miserable place

Ordered online some traditional dishes, when food came I was very disappointed. I payed £10 got a meal and received it with out any sides, no salad, nothing! And the meat was dry. It recommend at all. Very upset and disappointed!
