The Szechauan Chicken is really good. I like how you can adjust heat and ingredients easily when ordering on website. Also the pictures of each dish is on point.
The garlic sauce is top notch, the vegetables are well proportioned. The total price is rather high ($25 w/an employee tip automatically added to your bill. Nevertheless, the dish is outstanding.

I was skeptical about a “great” Chinese spot in La Jolla, but Chin’s delivered in a serious way.
The service was very slow to take our order, but once we got started, the service was great the rest of the night. The staff was warm and inviting, and they made sure we had everything we needed.
We got the pan fried pork potstickers (solid – more dough-y than I prefer), tangerine beef (a little too fruit-forward with the glaze), Szechwan crispy pork (delicious), ku ting shrimp (a hit across the table) and spicy honey & sesame chicken (the crowd favorite of the night). Not pictured: crispy wontons and seafood fried rice (the table liked both).
The space is small, but the portions are HUGE. Four of us were eating, and we took home at least half of three entrees. I’d love to return to try more savory dishes…and hopefully more veggies.
Well done, Chin’s!

Such a great takeout place we got the tangerine chicken (A MUST), the spicy eggplant, mapo tofu, and chicken fried rice. They didn’t pack utensils both times so just make sure you ask if you actually need them!

We’ve been here a few times, and today chose an ideal time – mid-late afternoon. Chin’s was not busy like usual. This restaurant in my opinion is the best chinese food in San Diego. Coming from New York, it’s been challenging to find something really good, but Chin’s consistently does it. Today we ordered, Tangerine Shrimp, Chicken and Broccoli, Wonton Soup and Vegetable LoMein. All really good! We’ll be back again soon, thanks!

Comfortable seating and a pleasant background soundtrack that enhanced the dining experience without being overpowering.
Service
Attentive and friendly staff who greeted us with smiles and were quick to assist.
Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, offered thoughtful recommendations, and ensured our needs were met without being overbearing.
Timely service with dishes arriving hot and well-paced.
Food
GARLIC BEEF Described as GARLIC BEEF , with perfectly balanced flavors and tender texture.
TANGERINE A standout for its crispness, aroma, freshness
Note-worthy for its balance of sweet, savory, tangy, ] and generous portion.
Vegetables were crisp, sauces were rich yet not overpowering, and the presentation was vibrant.
If you’re into spice, the delivered a satisfying kick without overpowering the other flavors.

[Drink/Tea] was the perfect palate cleanser between bites.
The [dessert] was a delightful finish, offering a harmonious blend of textures and flavors.
Value
Generous portions at a fair price, with clear attention to quality and consistency.
Clear care taken in sourcing ingredients and presenting an authentic yet approachable menu.

Mandarin chicken is pretty sweet. I’m goona do spicy level 4 for next time.
Also the chicken is pretty much crushed. There is 5 tables only, so you should make a reservation.

I certainly can’t speak to to authenticity, but the food was delicious. I would say probably some of the best I’ve had in all of California, which is probably saying a lot as I’ve traveled throughout for work.
This location is a cute little place with about eight booths. A very cozy ambiance. And the service was excellent!

Really good Chinese food with large portions, which is perfect for dining with a small group. We had several dishes and everything came out fast and fresh. The service was phenomenal, they were very attentive, asked how everything was, and boxed up our food. The space is small so highly recommend a reservation. I would definitely come back here!

Their food is great. Their spicy scale is 1 to 5 and the 5 is hot, I was not disappointed. Their chicken wings are delish. Be prepared to wait. It is a small dining area and very popular. take out order is a wait as well. They are not fast, but they hustle and it is worth it.

Came in for some wonton soup; was great. Ordered the chicken fried rice, was not a fan, when I mentioned it to the manager he immediately asked if I would like it off the bill or order something else. The garlic chicken I got instead, was very good.
