New Jingo's Restaurant

I was looking for a good cheap Chinese place in Columbia, and saw this place had pretty good reviews so I tried it with a group of friends

The food was very good and pretty reasonably priced .

Perfect. I'm often tempted to drive back to Columbia just to have more. It was a big plate full, enough that I had some of it boxed up to go, and there were plenty of the pancakes to spread plum sauce and to stuff with veggies and meat. While it's nice, I prefer to stuff my own use my hands and then chopsticks, then my fork to get every morsel. Here, it's well worth it. I found this restaurant while visiting Columbia thanks to Yelp and the good reviews are genuine. Not a lot of atmosphere but cheap, tasty excellent Chinese food.

Best Moo Shoo ever! I've been ordering Mou Shoo or Mu Shu or .. since Madame Wong's in 1981. This is by far the home of the best Mou Shoo I've ever tasted.

Your coconut chicken is the best chicken I think I've ever had! Thanks for lighting up my day.

Hey! We got two cookies in one!

I get food delivered from New Jingo's a lot lately, and it's always packaged nicely, tastes great, and is hot.

Their garlic sauce is wonderful

I order here because there is no delivery minimum and the prices are okay.

Small but cheap. Jingo's is a place if you want some low prices Chinese food

The food was definitely more than decent and I could see doing takeout.

I had the General Tao's chicken. It was the best Chinese food dish I'd ever gotten

I love this restaurant. I agree with some of the other reviews that the service is horrible. However, the food is delicious. My meal is generally around $6. Also, it is entertaining--although some might not see that as a good thing

Their online ordering and payment system makes it easy

Love, love, love this place.



We were visiting a friend who attends the Mizzou and were planning on going out for a (failed) movie night. The problem was that we were attempting to find a place to eat on New Years Day, which if you haven't tried to do it yourself in a college town, is damn near impossible. After dong some extended urban hiking (aha, just kidding; it was only a couple of blocks - I'm just lazy), we came to Jingo's.

Decor: The place is super duper dozy. It looked like 5 four-person booths and a few free standing tables, so it *is* on the small size. The walls are red and decorated with the traditional scrolls, lanterns, etc. They also have a semi open kitchen, which was charming on the night we went because our waitress interacted regularly with her two young children while they watched Spirited Away on a plasma screen tv. (So adorable!)



We had a party of five, so we ended up grabbing a booth and snagging a chair for the head of the table.



Food: I had the shrimp lo mein, which was delicious. We also ha the crab rangoon, which was pretty good too. My boyfriend had gotten the general tso's chicken, which was flavorful and crispy. I was actually pretty jealous of his dish.



Service: Our waitress was pretty nice and responsive, but I was a little irked about the wait. The appetizers we ordered were brought out with our food, which didn't make a whole lot of sense to me, but no big deal. The waiter who brought out of dishes didn't seem to know the difference between them all, which made giving them out a little annoying. These were all minor things though, and totally didn't distract from the meal.



All in all, a great Chinese food place that I would definitely eat at again!

What food we did get was good. i just wish we didn't have to wait so long

Ordered a while back and really enjoyed the food. Good mix of veggies in with the meats. Crab rangoon appears to have actual crab in it and tastes like it as well. Egg Rolls are great, they have a little curry in them if that's your thing.



Ordered delivery last week, Jingo's Chicken and Curry Chicken. They called and said their main chef hadn't come in so they couldn't make those dishes. We cancelled. Tried again yesterday and same story. Not sure if we'll try again as the more mainstay dishes(lo mein, general tso's) we got were pretty pedestrian compared to what I'd had previously.

The taste of traditional Chinese food is one of the best in town. Try beef noodle next time and it really worth 11 bucks!

We have ordered delivery in the past and was good enough to order again

The Chinese food here CAN be authentic! You just need to be able to read Chinese :-) My friend and I had 'spicy boiled fish', and 'dry cooked pork', both spicy. Both authentic. BUt may not be for everyone... I have liked Singaporean fried rice noodle before. Big portion. ONe serving is enough for both my husband and I. Curry-y and spicy too. If you want authenitic Chinese food, this is the place. BUt go with someone who can read the Chinese menu. And go with big appetite. Probably 4 people ordering 2-3 dish is a good way to do it. In the basement, now there is a Asian market. Has lots of real Chinese flavorings and spices, if you want to try your hand at Chinese cooking, this is a good place to get ingredients. And their price on produce is better than local grocery stores.
