Gin Gin Restaurant

Gin Gin might be my new favorite Chinese restaurant in Buffalo! Even as someone who grew up working in Chinese restaurants, Gin Gin has impressed me. First impression, it's an older restaurant, the interior is nothing fancy, but older, which might give the wrong impression but I'm not one to quickly judge until I get my food.

Amazing food and service!! The owner is super sweet and accommodating. They have so many food options. I definitely recommend coming here for good and authentic Chinese food!!
