Chin's Szechwan - Del Mar

I ordered takeout and unfortunately, this was the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. I spent over $100 expecting a decent meal, but most of it ended up in the trash. The food was completely tasteless and didn’t resemble authentic Chinese cuisine at all. It was incredibly disappointing and not worth the money. I would not recommend this place and definitely won’t be ordering from here again

I ate there twice, and the waiters were very rude. There were steel wool and hair in the dishes. The hygiene conditions were very poor.

Big portions packed with flavor. The walnut shrimp has a lot of shrimp and is totally worth it. The kung pao dishes are a little on the sweet side but they're delicious.

Great service by Leo Leger Banks. So delicious and scrumptious i will definitely be coming back.

We thought we were gonna love this place based on reviews and sadly the food was kinda tasteless. Our server was attentive that is the only thing positive to say.

Eating a lot of their food past four months through Grub Hub due to being unable to walk. It’s always excellent. Tonight’s was super excellent, chop suey with beef extra snow peas and Napa cabbage. Been cooking for over 60 years and this is one of the best and healthiest things I have ever eaten.
Also a bargain…one order is enough for three meals!!!
Thank you Chins!!!💥

Our favorite spot for Chinese food in Del mar. Everything we've ordered has been delicious!
Large section for vegetarian options 🌟

The food was fine. Coming from NYC it's hard to beat. The lo mein was completely different and the portions weren't as large as I'm used to. The flavors were fine. It wasn't bad at all.

Small and cosy place.

Nothing spectacular just your average quality food - flavor- presentation and ambiance

Food was great when we dined in. Unfortunately, quality is hit or miss for takeout. The spicy honey chicken was mostly fried dough and very dry. Not worth it for the price.

The food was amazing. I used to go to a similar place that closed and this is the closest thing to it. Ordered the orange chicken and black pepper beef and both were great. Was slightly disappointed with the spice rating because my wife and I love Szechuan cuisine but their “5 star” spicy was not spicy at all. The other thing I was disappointed with was my server was not very attentive and went a long time without water and not checking in with us to see if we needed anything else. She came and took our order then dropped it off and never came back. Atmosphere very quaint and intimate. Definitely sit in the patio. Overall, new favorite Szechuan place.

I ordered food to go here on Sunday, 12/15/24 at about 5:45. The woman said it would be ready between 6:09 & 6:19. When I got there to pick it up, there were like 20 people at least waiting for orders to go. I sat down and waited till almost 7, and hardly anybody had gotten their food in those 50 minutes. Finally we decided certain people wanted to get a refund and just cancel. She had a stack of orders that she read out that had not even been processed yet and mine was one of them. An hour later, I canceled my order because they had not even started it. How can a restaurant be so screwed up? When I asked for a receipt for the credit of my canceled order, she couldn’t give me one. She said it would be emailed. It’s been 15 minutes. She didn’t know when I would receive the email. I don’t know how a place can run in such a messed up fashion. I will never go back to this place.

Honestly.... it's like if Panda Express made a "fancy" restaurant. It fine, but not real, quality, Chinese food. Too pricey for panda quality though.
