Jimmy Jeng's Szechwan Chinese Restaurant

*the short:  The Food was better than most "Chinese food" in the area. The Service could have been better.

**Please do not interpret this review as rant. I have done my best to describe my experience from the good to the bad.

SERVICE:
  If you like SPICY food (like Sichuan style food is supposed to be) make sure to be VERY VERY VERY clear that you want it spicy. I asked for a spicy dish (with a spicy symbol next to it, plus she told me it would be spicy)  to be extra spicy but they made it very sweet. It tasted like sugar sauce. To be honest, I couldn't eat much of it. The lady made the hard sale about how what they gave me was "really good" and wasn't to interested in correcting it. She gave me a spiel about how it was "supposed to taste that way" and implied I ordered the wrong dish and how next time to order "xxxxx dish". I was shocked. When I asked (politely) to correct it and add some spice to the dish I could see the disappointment on her face though, she did politely. It still wasn't spicy but it at least had some type of flavor to it. After I had them correct the dish the staff was ignoring my table. I had to go to the front counter to get their attention. It seems that if you like spicy then you have to ask them in Chinese as I should have done. Just ask "   " .

   From what i see in the review it seems that people rate the service as of good quality. I can see that. They're sweet, smiling, give you the thumbs up, and ask " is everything thing is ok" and they are also good about refilling the water. Though, when the food is not ok the service turns sour pretty quick. They will try to convince you that the food IS good. Haha. Just wow.

FOOD
   Compared to other "Chinese food" in the local area it is pretty good. No doubts about that.  Assuming I never had an issue at this restaurant I would recommend it a 4 star (for this area) as it seems as if they have food that is slightly closer to a Chinese taste than most local places.

Anyway, if you read this and have or will eat here. Let me know about your experience!

It's hard, these days, to find a restaurant that's authentic Chinese and not Americanized.  If you're looking for the fried and greasy fare that most restaurants (particularly buffets) serve under the guise of Chinese food, you're not going to find it here.  The food is light and flavorful, and the portions are a great size for the price.  We've always had friendly (if a bit slow) service when we go, and leave very happy with what we were served.

My only complaint is a lack-luster takeout menu, compared to the sit-down one, but even in takeout we're generally happy with what we've been served.  Definitely a favorite!

We love coming to Jimmy's. He an his wife are always there to take your order. They and the staff are very friendly...Jimmy knows us personally!....food has always been good and hot. The menu is very large, and they will be happy to recommend popular dishes( make sure to try the Szechwan dumplings and string bean with pancake). Food is averagely priced but it is fair for the quality. It can get crowded on weekend evenings. Last I checked, they're closed on mondays.
