Chin's

@chinsszechwan will be my go Chinese restaurant from now on, I can easily guarantee that everything on the menu will be super delicious, I loved the varieties on their menu, 😋😋 the service is so friendly and generous, they make sure that you are enjoying your experience at all times. They have 7 locations in San Diego, I got to try their restaurant in Encinitas ☺️ and i would definitely love to try the other locations too 😉

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.

The Black Pepper Beef is made fresh in front of the table , bright out sizzling on a 500° hot iron plate reminiscent of fajitas or Ruth's Chris steaks. Highly recommended, this place is a new family favorite. We already forgot Chang's...

Delicious! Love the Shanghai crispy pork, Walnut shrimp, Crispy cream cheese wontons and Szechwan green beans. I’ll definitely be back!

Food was incredibly good, you don’t try this legit chinese food just any day, I am grateful for whoever recommended this place to my family and I. The personal was too kind and really funny in my perspective, nice people and incredibly fast service, food just kept coming. Atmosphere amazing, the music makes me feel at home it’s so nice. Overall greatest experience in a restaurant I will come back each time i’m at San Diego.

Lunch specials are a great deal! Went for a lunch special, food was delicious, portions were big and great value! The servers were attentive and the food came out quickly. I’ve been to their other locations in Carlsbad, Del Mar, and Rancho Bernardo and the flavor and quality is consistent. The lunch specials are a highlight for me, you can get a very generous meal for the same amount you would pay for a burger combo on a big chain burger joint.

Chin’s is one of our favorite restaurants, and this was our first time visiting this location. Everything we ordered was delicious. The kids especially loved the chicken wings and dumplings. The atmosphere and vibe were beautiful, and the location is great. We also received excellent customer service. We will be back soon.

If you’re searching for the best Chinese food in San Diego, look no further than Chin’s Szechuan in Encinitas. This place truly lives up to its title of "Best Chinese Cuisine" by San Diego Magazine! Every dish we tried was full of bold flavor and perfectly cooked. The Cream Cheese Wontons were golden and crispy with a creamy, flavorful filling, I always order these. The Pot Stickers had that perfect pan-fried crunch and juicy inside. The Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings were lightly battered, seasoned just right, and incredibly addictive. My personal favorites were the Spicy Honey & Sesame Chicken, House Lo Mein, and Fried Rice with the egg on top. The staff told us the Pao Hu Pork and Kung Pao Chicken were customer favorites, and they were totally right! The restaurant itself has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere - perfect for date nights, family dinners, or casual nights out. Portions are huge (we had leftovers for days!), and service was quick and friendly. Chin’s has six locations across North County and San Diego, so it’s always nearby when the craving hits. I can’t recommend this place enough!

We ordered a large company lunch takeout from Chin's Szechwan for over 50 employees, and they absolutely nailed it! Everything was neatly packed, well-organized, and arrived fresh, hot, and right on time. Coordinating an order of that size isn't easy, but they handled it flawlessly. The standout dishes were the broccoli beef lunch and the Szechwan garlic chicken lunch -- both were incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection. The broccoli beef had that perfect balance of tender meat and crisp broccoli in a rich, savory sauce. The Szechwan garlic chicken was bold, garlicky, and had just the right amount of kick without overwhelming the dish. We also appreciated the variety included in the lunch boxes -- rice, sides (cucumber salad, egg roll, and a cream cheese wonton), and generous portions that left everyone satisfied. Several employees commented that it was the best takeout we've had for a team lunch, and I completely agree. Highly recommend for both small and large group catering. Will definitely be coming back to for our next team event!

Yummy Chinese food at Chin’s Szechwan in Encinitas! We enjoyed the Shanghai crispy pork and Szechwan garlic eggplant. Very pretty restaurant. Service is fast and friendly. Recommend having a reservation on the weekend as it can be busy. Recommend!

Okkk listen now, everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The sweet & sour chicken, egg drop soup, and crispy wontons were so delicious, and the portions were generous. Chinese food cravings hit the spot & highly recommend!

Get the spicy black pepper beef !!! Came here and was in the Encinitas area wanted to see what Chins was all about. Me and my buddy's came here and shared our food. We got the black pepper beef, imperial shrimp plate with scallops, orange chicken, honey walnut shrimp, imperial noodle soup, crispy chicken dumplings and white rice. My favorite was the spicy black pepper beef. So yummy. 2nd was the orange chicken, 3rd was the walnut shrimp. Lots of seating inside, restaurant was clean and well taken care of. Our server helped us with the menu. Everything was great can't wait to come back !

Fresh and delicious. While I can go for express (Panda) Chinese, I wanted quality today. Something as a treat. The reviews were solid…for good reason. Good was plentiful, huge portions, and the service fantastic. The price is worth it…trust me. Photos show the aftermath.

When I’m feeling hungry and want some Chinese food, this is always my first stop. The portions, in my opinion, are huge for the price and I’m ways impressed with the flavors. Their service is also lovely, really receptive to what I want to get, offer suggestions, and make sure I always have what I need.

The absolute BEST pot stickers and top 3 best Sweet and Sour Chicken we’ve ever had. Even the soft lo mien noodles weee great. I like spicy, and when I ask for level five out of five it’s usually not spicy enough… This was absolutely perfect! The atmosphere was great, and very authentic, service was traditional, and the quality was fantastic. We’ve been wanting to go here for a while now, and it was definitely worth the wait!will repeat for sure

Delicious! Love the Shanghai crispy pork, Walnut shrimp, Crispy cream cheese wontons and Szechwan green beans. I’ll definitely be back!

Love this place!! Coming from the east coast I was so bummed that there wasn't any good Chinese food out here, finally my prayers have been answered. I go here a few times a month, the food is delicious and the servers are so kind. The steamed dumplings are 10/10 and I recently ordered the beef and broccoli which was perfect. I have to say it's so much better than the other place with a similar name. A very happy plus is that my kids love it just as much as my husband and I.

I got the Honey Walnut Shrimp from Chin’s Szechwan in Encinitas, and it was amazing! I ordered it to-go, and even after bringing it home, the shrimp was still crispy and perfectly coated in that delicious honey glaze. The walnuts were fresh and caramelized just right — sweet, crunchy, and so good with the shrimp. You can really tell they care about quality and texture here. Definitely one of the best versions of this dish I’ve had anywhere. Can’t wait to go back and try more!

This place is beautiful! Never been to such an upscale Asian restaurant like this before!the food was amazing, my particular favorites were the, Black Pepper Beef. The presentation made our table stop and stare as it came to the table -- the platter arrives still sizzling and steaming, filling the air with garlic and freshly cracked black pepper. The beef is savory, tender, and peppery making it both comforting and exciting in every bite. The Cream Cheese Wontons with Crab are al ligh, golden, perfectly crisp shells that give way to a warm, creamy filling. They hit that indulgent sweet-savory spot, with just enough crab flavor to elevate them beyond the standard version you'll find elsewhere. They're addictive little bites and a great way to start the meal. I'll be sure to come back again with more friends!

Our family gathering at Chin Chinese Restaurant was a delightful experience from start to finish. The moment we stepped in, the elegant decor set a warm and inviting tone, blending modern touches with traditional Chinese accents--perfect

This is a very good restaurant, with service and atmosphere, because they were vey kind. We brought a cake from outside for my sister's birthday, and they offered to put it in the fridge. The food was good, but the sweet and sour soup was too sour ):
