Reviews for Chin's Szechwan - Encinitas in Vista, CA
Not a lot of choices for decent chinese food around here. Chin's was ok, though a bit expensive for what you get. ... Understaffed, only one or two waiters for entire restaurant, slow service Read more
Our 2 favorite dishes are Walnut shrimp and Orange Beef. After 3 years in Georgetown TX and not finding any restaurant that... could make these dishes, my husband and I are so happy to find Chin's. Our server was pleasant and tended to our needs. We willbe back! Read more

Service has been fast every time I've ordered from here. Food comes out great! Definitely on the pricey side though. I spent... 31.74$ on the following order- spicy lo mein with beef chicken and shrimp and fried rice with beef chicken and shrimp. Theportion could be better too. The food can be a little spicy if you go that route. I recommend staying at a level 2. It isdelicious however. They also give a small side of white rice free if you spend over a certain amount but I'm not sure what thatamount is. I think the rice should be susbstitued for egg rolls if the customer would prefer that instead due to alreadypurchasing fried rice. The rice isn't that great though. The fried rice is just white rice cooked in soy sauce. I prefer theirlo mein noodles. Read more
Superb food and great hostesses. We always have great food here. Tonight we had the appetizer Pu Pu Platter, then the moo goo... chicken, and the honey walnut shrimp. People are always friendly and a good time to go is Saturday after 7pm. Read more
I loved their decorations, make sure you take advantage of the lunch specials 11-3pm , lunch specials are about $12/$15. It was... my first time here prices for dinner are pricey, would not go for dinner here. Read more
I dont like leaving a bad review - this is my 2nd one in the last week. I dont know what it is with some older asian waiters.... They have a personality of a wet sock. Plus wearing a mask made it difficult for the deaf people in our group, who need to readlips. Prices have more than doubled. When was the last time their prices were updated on line? We had the lunch specials whichended up being $20 with tax. Explains why the place was empty. You do not get to choose your soup or appetizers. The soup wascrazy salty....... sorry to say I havent even a clue what it was. Waiter would not say. The cucumber with dressing were good,walnut shrimp was good too. Rice needed something....... not salt! The only condiments was salt, pepper & soysauce. A garlic, peanut sauce or any kind of sauce would have been nice. But nothing salty. I would be extremely hesitant to come back to thisrestaurant. Maybe they had someone new making the salty soup & dull rice. Maybe just an off day? I would really like to havea choice over my appetizers. No substitutions allowed Wont be back to endure the cranky waiter Read more
