Meat in short soup and spring rolls smelt off. They took the meals back and then ignored us for the rest of the time we were there. No offer of refund…

NOT COMING BACK TO THIS DISGUSTING RESTAURANT!! I DONT KNOW HOW MANY FLIES MY FAMILY AND I HAVE EATEN! WE ARE VERY UNFORTUNATE TO DISCOVER THE DISGUSTING INSECT WHEN WE WERE ABOUT TO FINISH OUR FOOD! WE RETURNED THE FOOD AND DID NOT GET ANY APOLOGY! Better be checked by food and safety standard people before they kill someone!
The food here was quite decent. We indulged in crab which was a bit scarce and the noodles to compliment a tad soggy and not plentiful. The service is nicer when you can speak the language which I personally don’t like but as most people have pointed out I can imagine the service being a tad harsher in nature due to the lack of customer service. Its wheelchair friendly as they have a side door to enter and throughout the night they do draw quite a large crowd. I enjoyed their white bait with fluffy light batter plus their sweet and sour pork was a pleasant surprise. Overall one of the better places to try some authentic chinese cuisine. The layout has a lot to offer but their dated table and chair pairings is a let down. The place is clean and spacious enough. Parking in the area is a tad hard during the night as it has to share with many other restaurants.
Very traditional China food but less oil with healthy cooking way. Love the entry soup and the followed dessert after meal. Steamed fish and stir fried vegetables are my favourite.
I understand that Jimmy’s is a very busy establishment, but the service was horrible whilst the atmosphere felt cluttered and filled to the maximum. The waiters/waitresses were only focused on quickly getting the order down and deliver it to the kitchen, they did not really go out of their way to talk to the customer. As well as this, the time to get the order out was extensively long and I found it rude when we questioned the waiters several times to ask when our food would arrive, they said several times that it will be coming out soon, after a while they said they lost the docket with our orders which was really frustrating and rude. With the food, I could tell that it was rushed and no interest went in preparing it. One of the main reasons may be because we went in a busy time. If you want to eat here, then I would go before or after the rush period. But besides that, the food was bland and nothing spectacular. The only good range of food was the seafood.
Had to give poorest rating, because they almost killed me. We bought take-away. I was enjoying the sweet and sour pork (the food was very nice) when my throat suddenly felt like it was being pierced with a needle. It was agony. My daughter was on the phone to the ambulance. I couldn’t breathe and was coughing uncontrollably. Every cough was agony; even the slightest movement caused intense pain in my throat. Luckily after about seven or eight minutes of the most incredible pain and fear, the coughing dislodged the sharp object.and I was able to bring it up. It was a piece of plastic with sharp ends and about 2cm long and 3mm wide. I’ve had surgery and my stomach is very small. If it had gone down, I would have suffered a perforated stomach.I had gone into shock and it was about fifteen minutes before I stopped shaking and crying. When I had recovered enough, I rang them to tell them what had happened, and warn them to have a good look at the sweet and sour pork, so that it wouldn’t happen to anyone else. My voice was very husky, but, but my father and daughter tell me it was easy to understand. I spoke to three people,but unfortunately none of them could speak English – strange, because I heard the first person I’d spoken to, explaining to someone in the background, that there was something in the sweet and sour pork. Puzzling!!!Soon after that my voice failed and it took three days before I got it back. I was afraid, at first, that my vocal cords had been damaged, so those three days were very hard.All I wanted when I rang them was an acknowledgement and an apology, and to warn them to stop this happening to anyone else. Now, because of the games they played on the phone, I/m very angry and I’m considering suing.
Good food. Agree with others with the service that it can be a little better. I felt that the service was rushed. Be mindful that they charge for tea and rice as per normal. Not an impressive seafood menu either.
Very poor service. Went with my friend and 2 12 month olds. Staff were rude about having the kid there and making a mess which I was happy to clean… They threw the receipt and told us to get out… Very rude if I was to rate it I would never put stars no matter how nice the food may be … The service is what counts Canberra has better restaurants than this one….
