((TAP TAP)) Wow if you love The best in Chinese food and the atmosphere of the Sunset strip this is the spot! You can dine outdoors or enjoy the indoor with a view, perfect for the weekend. Our hostess and servers were top notch, personable A+ their timing and presentation were spot on. The dinner menu is full of treats like potstickers, others you may even be surprised by. I sure was "Shrimp Toast"! Say what, shut the front door!!! OMG what a treat it's awesome. It comes with a delicious apricot sauce that was amazing, my night could have ended there and I would have been satisfied. But no,…

Worst service ever

by Onelove79

So I research this restaurant on the internet before heading out on vacation to West Hollywood/L.A. My girlfriend and I arrive at the restaurant and we were seated immediately. It took at least 20 minutes before anyone came and asked if we were ready to order. We finally ordered and we ordered the same meals and drinks. They brought us out the drinks and 5 to 10 minutes later they bought one plate of food and put it right in front of me. Then the waiter looked at my girlfriend and asked if she had ordered anything. Before she could even answer he said "um, ok", then he kinda tapped the table and walked off. Two drinks and one plate of food at the table is not a good look. Esecially when everyone else at the restaurant on the inside and and outside is enjoying their lovely evening, and we're the only African Americans in the place. And to think that I actually made it a point to try this restaurant while I was out there I never felt so offended in my life and that's the truth. In contreast our night turned out great after we ended up eating at El Compadre Mexican restaurant. We have lots of Mexican restaurants in the Bay Area and El Compadre honestly was one of the best I've ever tasted and the service there was top of the line, no kidding. If it wasn't for El Compadre, I would have ill feelings about dining in this area of L.A.

Incredible Service

by aslanmichelle

Our service was great and the waiter was adorable. Ambiance was romantic and definitely recommended. For the music,,,I would recommend jazz or house and the people were cool. Portions were good.

Pretty much eeeh...

I've been to Chin Chin in Marina del Rey and enjoyed the meal, although I thought it was expensive. The Chin Chin Grill on Sunset in West Hollywood is always crowded, so I decided to get some food delivered at the office for lunch.

The food was ok. Not nearly worth the overinflated prices. I don't think I'll be going there again.
