What a find! With so many options for Chinese food out there, it was wonderful to find a place with great food, excellent service, and a good atmosphere. Portions were ample and fairly priced. The menu had something for everyone, ranging from thetraditional, to the not often found. We started with hand made pot stickers and moved on to tangerine chicken, Schezwan beef,and pork fried rice. The flavors were amazing. Even my picky 8-year-old was impressed. Then we tried the pepper beef and thehouse special Pao Hu pork (pictured). The beef, served on a sizzling hot platter, was tender and delicious. The Pao Hu pork,which we were told is not found elsewhere, was this wonderful blend of crispy but...
I have fond memories of this restaurant from my childhood, visiting for special occasions with my family, and later, I had my first date there with my husband (who was just a friend back then). Recently, I returned with my mom for lunch after many years, and it was just as I remembered it—in a good way. The ambiance is dark, cozy, and has a touch of sophistication. The decor is classic and evokes a sense of nostalgia for me. The food is consistently good, well-prepared, and flavorful. I ordered the shrimp dish and the eggplant dish (my favorite vegetable), and once again, I was not disappointed. I would recommend this place any day.
I used to come here as a kid with my family for special occasions and as a young adult on my first date with my hubby (then boyfriend). Recently, I came with mom for lunch after many, many years, and it was still the same (in a good way). Theatmosphere is dark and moody and slightly sophisticated (maybe). To me, the decor is classic and brings nostalgia. Their foodis consistently good, cooked well, and flavorful. I've ordered a shrimp dish and the eggplant dish (my favorite vegetable).They've never disappointed me. I'd recommend this place all day every day.
This place was HIGHLY recommended by a neighbor of a friend, and WOW WOW WOW super glad we made the time to explore this venue because everything was really delicious here! We ordered: eggplant in Szechuan sauce, honey walnut shrimp, fried rice, chickencorn soup, Mongolian beef, and General Tso's chicken. Every dish was really spectacular and we just really enjoyed the qualityof the food, the ambiance, and the super personable waiter who served us. This is a MUST STOP for Oceanside eats!

Delicious Chinese food, good Sichuan spice. This is flavorful food, but Chinese seeking authentic food may find it too Americanized. They explain the menu very well and point out tips for enjoying the lunch menu. I will come here again and again.Service was excellent. Friendly staff, good prices. Food came fast. We ate everything on the plate. Get the spicy beef.

I've been visiting Chin for years and really love the food! However, my only issue is that every time I try to place an order, the prices have increased again. Free rice for $17.00?? The prices have gotten out of hand. For this reason, I might have to search for a new favorite restaurant.
I've been coming to Chin's for years. Great food! My only problem is that every time I go to order, the prices have increased again...Fried rice for $17.00??? The prices have gotten insane. I think I'm gonna have to find a new favorite for that reason.

We enjoyed the sweet and sour. It 's very unfortunate that we couldn 't our San Diego gift card there and the manager is very strict with the closing time. We literary got kicked out .
If you like wings the salt and pepper wings are so delicious and fresh. I?ve been here several times and each time the food was really good.
