Chin's Szechwan - Encinitas

Best Chinese food in San Diego area
My wife and I go at least once a week
It’s by far the best around plus the staff are very friendly and nice and Beautiful inside
Highly recommend to anyone who wants real good Chinese food

Ordered delivery and was not happy with the quality of the food. Mongolian beef was hard to chew . The wonton in the soup did not have feeling, only dough.

Great spot. Their Kung Pao Chicken is the best in the city.

We've been visiting this area for the last 5 years and just today found this gem. If you like Chinese food, you'll love Chin's Szechwan in Encinitas. We were so excited to find Chin's and hungry, we didn't take pics of our dishes, so I apologize. That said, we haven't eaten Chinese food this great in years.

The atmosphere is great. We kind of felt a little underdressed for the ambiance. The interior was recently remodeled and they did a great job!

The service and specifically our server was excellent and anticipated our needs. He was very nice, cordial, and attentive.

The food was fantastic! We ordered the chicken with szechwan braised green beans, the pork fried rice, and the egg rolls. Again, I apologize and regret not having photos for you. The pork fried rice had real pork strips, not the little chopped bits you see at other places. The green bean chicken had large slices of all white meat chicken and the green beans were cooked perfectly with a crisp to them. The sauce flavor perfected the dish. The egg rolls were vegetable and really good. They have the original hot mustard too! My receipt is pictured. I highly recommend Chin's. We will be back to try other dishes!

The food here is absolutely delicious. I ordered the eggplant flower soup and the ma la tofu. It is hard to find a place that know how to cook todu but it was done perfectly here. The restaurant inside is lovely and the waiter was super attentive and nice.
