Good place for an authentic Chinese food! I recommend pork and szechwan braised string beens. Lunch menu is comparatively cheaper than dinner menu. Less options for drinks.

First timer here and since I am a Chinese food connoisseur when I read that Chins is supposed to be the best Chinese food in San Diego i had to try it. We got chicken and snap peas ,Lo mein and a shrimp dish. It was good but average. Customer service was good but over all it was ok just a little pricey .I would recommend trying it out for yourself.

Delicious and high quality, every piece of chicken in my meal was a nice chunk of white meat. No fatty cartilaginous bits. Vegetables were perfectly cooked.

Hands down best Chinese food available in San Diego, and arguably some of the best I’ve ever had. Dine-in is a must. 10/10 recommend.

Top picks:
• Salt & pepper chicken wings
• Crispy wontons
• Spicy honey & sesame (“orange”) chicken - or better yet the double delight with chicken & shrimp
• Shanghai crispy pork
• House special lo mein (chicken, beef, & shrimp)

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!

If you're looking for high quality authentic szechaun food, you're out of luck. Great for generic American Chinese regulars, with a solid mediocre taste. The taco place next door is amazing.

Faves here were the water and rice.
