What People Are Saying About Chin Chin

In Short – Signature white umbrellas and tempting aromas beckon hungry shoppers to prime street-side patio tables. Inside, chefs show off their skills in an open kitchen. The fairly health-conscious, vegetarian-friendly menu features a variety of rice, noodle and soup dishes, all made without MSG (by request, many can be prepared with little or no oil). Popular choices include the restaurant's renowned Chinese chicken salad, the lesser known but super healthy seaweed and tofu salad, sticky steamed pork buns, ginger shrimp fried rice and almond chicken.

Does not even deserve a star - very poor service
by wehocal at Citysearch
Used to go and there was quick and courteous service; recently the service was horrible - very slow and unhelpful - waited more than 40 minutes for meal and then found out the order had not been put in until late. Instead of correcting the mistake and rushing the order - it stayed in line of all the others.
- Cons: service is horrible

Great chinese chicken salad
by marpop at Citysearch
I've been coming here for years & I almost always order the chinese chicken salad -- it's their signature dish (they'll let you know) and it's not surprising -- tons of chopped iceberg piled high w/chicken, almond slivers, crispy wontons & a fabulous dressing that looks/almost tastes like salsa. The sidewalk cafe is great for people-watching and the interior was recently updated, so it's much more sleek. The menu has also been updated, offering more Pan Asian items instead of just strictly chinese. For dessert, I highly recommend the chocolate-dipped fortune cookies -- you can also buy them by the bag.
- Pros: Chinese chicken salad, chocolate-dipped fortune cookies, people-watching
- Cons: Not much

Decent Sunset Plaza chinese food
by jericsmall at Citysearch
Chin Chin serves up the standard fare for a chinese restaurant. The main entrees are common. Appetizers are where its at for this place. I especially like the pan-friend pork pot-stickers. Outdoor seating is good but choose a spot away from the heaters if you can. The wait staff is friendly and service is reasonably fast. I recommend the Mongolian Beef for the main course.
The Details on Chin Chin
The Extras:
The restaurant's famous oversized (they're 5" by 7") fortune cookies, dipped in white or dark chocolate, can be prepared with personalized messages, from birthday wishes to marriage proposals. Order at least a few days in advance.
