Food was tasteless. Served a bowl of cabbage without chicken when it was supposed to be chicken chow mein. Very little pork in the pork fried rice. The rice had the same texture as minute rice. Sweet and sour pork was: sweet and sour deep fried fat. They serve canned gravy with the chicken soo gai. I can keep on going but you get the idea. Save your money and get a microwave meal. It’ll taste better!!!! They need a new cook.

This has to be the bland-est Chinese food I ever had. The pad thai was tasteless, gummy and looked non-appetizing at all. Singapore noodles barely had any meat in it. And it's too expensive for a mediocre quality. Will never buy again.

Fish tank was way too loud had to leave. Maybe try takeout next. The noise was over bearing. Asked to shut off for the time we was there. They figured the fish would die because the pump was on for an hour

Excellent wait staff, very friendly and helpful! I had the veggie pad Thai and it was a huge portion and delicious. Different sauce then I have had before. My husband had a combo and was pleased as well. The atmosphere could be better but it was a pleasant experience overall

Had the dinner buffet. Although it was a slow night, owners were quick to refill on empty trays. Good, but a little salty, so won't recommend for those on a low salt diet.

I am pretty much satisfied with the quality of Jiwen restaurant, the taste is good, a little bit salty, but mostly were acceptable. I visited Corner Brook as a traveler with a friend, I was pleased with such taste that was so familiar with my family when I was in China. Sometimes, Chinese people visited Chinese restaurant in Canada would complain and blame that taste without MSG or others might negatively impact the Chinese taste. I will simply conclude that it is so much worthy to wait no matter dine in or take out, usually take half an hour to have your first dish coming, to reach that taste without using MSG, everything is worth it, though price per dish is higher than the restaurant opposed to Jiwen. As a Chinese person traveling to NL, I have a good impression of Jiwen restaurant. The price is a bit expensive, the service is generally a bit longer, but the taste is very good. I am very satisfied with this alone. The food tastes very good, although it is a bit salty, but it is acceptable. The restaurants in the area have a very Chinese flavor and are not at all what I imagined American Chinese food to be like.

The food was pretty good but the restaurant is ethically questionable. The blond waitress in her 60 s was without a mask, and when mentioning it she said she couldn t breathe. This is after the law in place that she must wear one. a face shield would have done the same job but made it easier for her to breathe. The fish tank in the restaurant had dead fish in it, and the tank was only about half filled with water making poor living conditions for the habitants. Sadly Won t be returning.

Me and my girlfriend went there last week, the food tasted good but made my girlfriend very sick for 3 days, and was throwing up the day after. And the appetizer we ordered was not like the menu described at all, we were expecting something way different. Sad to say we wont be coming back.

Sadly I had a terrible experience with this restaurant today and cannot recommend it to others. There was a mix up with a take out order in that one of the combination plates was missing when we arrived home with the order. We called to let them know and they said they would have it ready when we went back to pick it up. When I got there it still wasnt ready and they were rude, unprofessional and condasending. Didnt want to accept responsibility for their error or have any compassion for the fact that this inconvenienced us in this way. A family birthday supper with some having their food and others waiting. A number of times a waitress there said she had customers to deal with and didnt have time to check on the situation that they created. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!

I have eaten at this place 4 times and have had no problems. They do not use msg or too much salt in their foods. They use fresh vegitables in their dishes unlike other restaurants in town that use frozen veggies. It always tastes fresh. I have eaten in the am, pm, and afternoon and always recieved great food and service. I definitely liked the way I felt after eating. I have eaten at all chinese restaurants in Corner Brook and always felt a ltlle stomach sick afterwards. (much like the way after Micky Ds) I have brought my dad there and even after eating at the dragon restaurant for 30 years he agreed this restaurant was better. I highly recommend this place. As for previous comments regarding staring I have not noticed this... neither do I care.
