Xin Jiang Restaurant

I can’t say enough about how much I loved this restaurant. Everything was delicious!!! I’ve been told that the food is pretty authentic. So much flavor! And the portions are very generous. The service was very kind too. There were NO leftovers from this meal. I would eat here anytime! The menu is pretty big, so there are many options.

We stumbled across this restaurant while window shopping the restaurants at Metro Square. This restaurant caught our eyes with large stews, bbq skewers, mini wok stir fried. We decided to take a chance and try it out. The restaurant is located on Steeles Ave E just west of Warden Ave. We ordered the following: 1. Stir fried bone-in chicken with hand pulled noodles $28.99 2. Stir fried lamb pluck $22.99 3. Pan fried beef and chives pancake $8.99 This restaurant tries to sell you on lower prices if you purchase a membership for $20 which gives you access to members' only pricing. We wanted to try the food first before we decide. Overall the food was really good. The chicken stir-fry had a delicious broth which compliments the noodles. The lamb stir fry was also really good. The server asked us our tolerance for heat/spiciness. We went for mild because we didn't want to burn out our stomach. We made the right choice. The beef chive pancake had vermicelli and egg stuffed in a flaky pan fried pancake. I would definitely order this again. Service was very good for chinese restaurant the orders were brought out fast and hot. If you want to try something different I would recommend coming here and try their specialty dishes. The restaurant is also serving Halal dishes only. Follow me on @whenhungerstrikes17 Parking: Free parking in Metro square and there's a parking garage beside it.

The food here is, in a word, outstanding. We've been twice and both meals were off-the-charts. One of the reasons we chose to try Xin Jiang is that they do a lot of lamb dishes. We love properly prepared lamb and these folks do it right. We've had BBQ Lamb Skewers, Braised Lamb on Naan, and Roasted Lamb Ribs. Every one of those dishes were fabulous, though if we had to choose just one it would be the lamb ribs. They were rich and fatty in that delicious way only lamb fat can be, and cut wonderfully with the onion and veggies served on the plate. They have a lovely, very lightly battered crust that adds a bit of crunch to each bite. Their BBQ and skewers are varied and delicious. In addition to the BBQ lamb we've tried BBQ Chicken Gizzards soooo good and BBQ Okra. The ones we've tried have a dusting of a barely sweet, warm cumin seed/chili powder mix that adds a unique and earthy flavour that we now crave. Another appetizer worthy of special comment is the BBQ Squid Tentacles. They come lightly bathed in the cumin/chili spices infused in a light oil. The flavours are blended perfectly, and the squid is firm enough to be crunchy but not chewy. Some of the best we've had. Their Stir Fried Green Beans With Minced Beef was delightful. The green beans were heated through but tender and flavoured with a balance of Sichuan peppers, hot peppers and onions. The beef was tender and juicy, with just enough to satisfy but not so much to distract from the beans and peppers which were, for us, the star attraction of this dish. Another outstanding offering is their Xinjiang Style Crispy Beef. We make a pretty mean crispy beef at home and love trying other versions when we find them. And this is one of the best we've found. Coated in a wonderful light batter with a pleasing texture, the super tender beef is complemented perfectly with a flavourful cumin and hot pepper spice mix. Their menu is huge, and we've only been able to try a few of their offerings, but we've purchased a membership a great deal; a $20.00 membership gets you 10 - 15% off every dish and will be back often to try every dish on the menu. We've even got a menu at home that we're going to fill in like a bingo card as we try each dish! LOL We can't wait.

Some of the items we had was really delicious. Specially the beef fried rice. Portion was very small compare to the price. Price is also in higher range than other traditional Chinese restaurant. They dont accept credit cards, Fyi

Good spot for rich and flavorful dishes. The lamb skewers were especially memorable. Our only disappointment were the naan bread that were very stale.

Delicious Chinese food and very authentic. The staff was very friendly and great service. I personally ate inside but they have a fairly big outside parking lot patio. I ordered a ton of food so my bill was approximately $150 but had lots of food to take home to enjoy more the next day. This was my first time going and I'm looking forward to trying more menu options next time. Thank you.

These three are their best so far: - B01 Xinjiang style BBQ lamb kabob - R41 Shrimp, ground chicken and crab dumplings - P04 Sliced Potato & beef in a wok We enjoy eating their delicious halal Chinese cuisine and enjoy the 2 years membership deduction each time we come I leaved so many years in Penang/Kuala Lumpur Malaysia and this place is the only one around so far that give me a similar taste

Good food to die for, every bite and every dish we ordered was finger licking good and hit all the right taste buds. Highly recommend this restaurant on a cozy Saturday with friends and family.

It was my first time there and the place was packed. Food is delicious, but more in the spicy spectrum. The service is fast and the price reasonable.

My go-to for lamb skewers! Xin Jiang features tasty, authentic Chinese dishes and are known for their skewers. The skewers were not too chewy and not dry at all. We also ordered some spicy lamb with Chinese pancakes and it was super yummy. Tip: Most of the staff speak Mandarin, so be sure to speak up if you're not fluent! Their tea is also delicious and pairs well with the food!
