I was really looking forward to a good Chinese food meal. Part of the restaurant is under construction. It was quiet and only a few other tables were occupied except for a retirement party. Took a bit for the food to come out and when it did it was cool and not hot. It looked like the kitchen was right there...but maybe not, I don't know. One of the dishes we ordered was salt and pepper shrimp. It shrimp were not very crispy and they dumped some kind of veggie salsa like component and it was wet thus making the shrimp soggy. The boy chow was way over cooked and we exchanged it for the green beans; they were too crunchy to chew. The orange chicken was kind of dry. The deep fried flank streak...
Chinese food is hard to come by in the Southbay. I was hoping this would be a good option but I was disappointed. The food was not very flavorful to me. However my husband thought it was tasty as he tends to find a lot of restaurant food too spicy whereas there's not a lot of situations where there's too much garlic if you ask me. We had steamed chicken dumplings, wonton soup, orange chicken, beef with broccoli. Basic stuff and all were basically adequate nothing special. Our waiter was nice but they appeared to be short handed (like so many places nowadays) as we had to wait a while for someone to come seat us. The decor seemed rather overly minimalist and I found the TV set to football not...
DO NOT GO BY THE ONLINE MENU!!!!! Went there for some sushi and tuna tartar. Most of the items on the online menu are not there anymore, and the ones that are there are now 30-50% higher in price. Even the waiter told us that they had been asked many times to change the menu. The waiter was very attentive and pleasant, but forgetful. Came back to the table 2-3 times and had forgotten items we asked for. The place needs new decor. Feels like you're in a cafeteria instead of a restaurant. Benches with no padding that became uncomfortable after sitting for a while. Very simple, hospital cafeteria like chairs. Drinks were good. The food was good.
We came across Chin Chin by chance online and decided to try it since the food looked good. The food was nothing short of AMAZING ? The food looks and tastes great, and the ambience is great, especially since the energy of the Chin Chin staff and team is so light and approachable! Special thanks to Ms. Pan (sorry if I misspelled your name ? for taking such great care of us and making us feel comfortable! Because of your attentiveness and kindness and great energy, we were able to enjoy our great meal even more! Much love to Chin Chin! ?

During our first visit on September 6 at 2:09 PM, we were served by Zarina. My wife asked for hot water, and she graciously brought a pot and cup, which was very helpful. We enjoyed Szechuan Green Beans and Pad Thai, both of which were healthy and not greasy—it's a nice take on Americanized Chinese cuisine. Since then, we've ordered takeout through the Uber Eats app three times, and it has been consistently good.
I was excited to try their signature Chinese chicken salad, but when my friend took a bite, she just sat there in silence. I tried it too, and we exchanged a disappointed glance—it was the worst salad we’d ever had. It looked wilted and tasted awful. On the positive side, the wonton soup was fresh and tasty. However, despite the lack of customers, the service was slow. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning.
Lots of convenient parking. Seated on time. Restaurant is being updated but still open with limited accessible seating. Wonton Stars and Chow Mein were very good and portions large enough for leftovers. Noise level was high today from a large birthday party in side room with internal door left open.
Had lunch here on a Friday at noon but we were nearly alone in the restaurant. Service was good but the food was pretty average. Had a noodle dish that was very bland, garlic broccoli was ok, kung pau chicken was good. Not nearly as good as the PF Chang restaurant whose location it replaced.
