One of our all time favorite restaurants! We order carry out weekly and meet friends here often. Delicious fresh food, high quality ingredients with unique flavors and menu items. Our favorite is Lemongrass Gulf shrimp. We lived in S. Florida many years and it's a flavor like no other. Strongly recommend!

Best Asian fusion restaurant in 100 miles in any direction of this place! We drive an hour from where we live to come eat here (not much different if you lived in a big city like Chicago or LA)! Prices are reasonable (although the speciality drunks can be pricey, but they are good). Very friendly and great bang for you buck. Especially if youre driving long distance on I-94, worth it to make this your stop to eat and gas (station a half block away). Maybe I shouldn't say that because id like to be able to get a seat whenever we do go eat here LOL! But I have to give credit where its due. Best Asian restaurant anywhere in between Chicago, Detroit, and Indy! And great Asian eatery place even in those cities! :)

We love Chinn Chinn but tonight was something special. Our server, Dani, was amazing and funny! I have Celiac, so he explained, when he brought the fortune cookies, that his mom has allergies and he likes to bring out fruit when he brings the fortune cookies, so the person with the allergy/disease can eat too! So he brought me strawberries and a fortune cookie in case I wanted the fortune. It was the most thoughtful thing a server has ever done for me! 🥠🍓❤️

I had the cool noodles at a family function and really enjoyed them. It was like a simple thin noodle with a light sauce and some spices served cold. I had never had Chin Chins before but decided to order a meal (take out). I ordered the cool noodle and Chicken fried rice. The cool noodle was not even close to what I had at the function, the noodles were big with a sauce that I did not care for and they were hot with a lot of veggies and the chicken in the fried rice was greasy, the fried rice was ok. I don’t think I will return.

Ive been to this spot a few times now, and when the food hits, it really hits. Some of the dishes are absolute standouts and keep pulling me back.
The cucumber chicken salad is to die for — super fresh with what I think is a thinner eel-style sauce that’s totally addictive. The fried prawns with Japanese curry? Legitimately the best golden curry I’ve ever had. Flavor, aroma, texture — all perfect.
We also had the chow fun, which was amazing. The noodles were new to us but worked beautifully with everything else on the plate. Fried beef dumplings were okay — the meat was soft and unseasoned, more like shredded roast beef, but the dipping sauce really brought it to life.
The drinks were incredible (and virgin, which we appreciated). There was a small mix-up and we got two of the same drink by accident, but they gave us the one we originally ordered on top of that, which was a kind gesture — and all of them were delicious.
Now, onto my one major letdown — the bibimbap. I was excited to try it, but when I asked what kind of meat came with it, I was told it was “kogi,” which in Korean just means “meat.” When I asked if it was marinated, the server said no — it was just plain, unseasoned cooked meat. That really surprised me. Bibimbap is all about balance — sweet, salty, spicy, umami, and fishy elements all working together. The meat is traditionally seasoned to help carry that flavor harmony. Using unseasoned meat in bibimbap feels like a major miss, especially when the rest of the dish relies on well-balanced, bold toppings. It made me second-guess ordering it entirely — and I ended up skipping it.
Instead, I went with the bulgogi. I didn’t mind that the beef was thick-cut instead of thin slices — that’s creative liberty — but it clearly wasn’t marinated. It tasted like beef that had been tossed in a sweet bulgogi-inspired sauce right before plating. It wasn’t bad, just flat. Lacked the depth and savory punch that bulgogi’s supposed to have. And the portion was surprisingly small, with two tiny pieces of watermelon on the side… for reasons?
Service wasn’t the strongest this visit. It felt a little disorganized — not rude, just off. Maybe the server was new or nervous, hard to tell. Order-taking could definitely be tightened up.

Fantastic food and service. You might have to wait for a table or plan ahead and get a reservation, but either way it's worth it!

GREAT FOOD !!!

Called before 5pm to place an order, they close at 6pm, and did not want to take my order. This is the second time they do the same to me! Insulting
I noticed there aren't any reviews of this place since ownership changed. The food prior to the change was flavorful, delicious and worth the price! The food we had last night was bland, underseasoned, and not worth the price we paid. We won't be back anytime soon.

The place is nice, but they are "try hards" when it comes to the atmosphere. The plateware was annoying "trendy" and the photos they have hanging up are all black & white, even though you can tell that many were actually taken on color film. It all seems so forced. The now closed restaurant Wild Ginger achieved what this place only wishes they could. So sad that a place I rate 5-star closes while a place like this stays open. Overall, Chinn Chinn's is too pretentious.
