What makes Jinn’s Fresh different from the other Chinese restaurant?

• From the name, you can tell Jinn’s focus on is on “FRESH”. The restaurant guarantees the use of fresh cooking oil and foods: seafood, meat, veggies, etc. And, all noodles are made at the same day to serve.
• Provides the healthiest food to customers. Jinn’s Fresh guarantees no MSG, low sodium and less sugar. They try to use all nature material to make all the food.

They have very strict food standards for all the team members, and they appointed Jinn’s Fresh as their ONLY restaurant for eating 3 meals every day.
• For the Chinese community in Fairfield county, and in Chinese social media “Wechat”(similar to Facebook), Jinn’s Fresh enjoys the best reputation. In June, 2015, six Chinese restaurants participated in a food competition for the largest Chinese school (1300 students) in White Plains, NY. After a parent vote, Jinn’s Fresh ranked the 1st place among all the competitors.
