Adding this as one of our favorites. The hot-n-sour soup was actually HOT and the atmosphere was soothing. We LOVE soup dumplings and these are some of the best. Also a favorite are the braised string beans - tossed with ground pork with a tender yet snap consistency. I dont usually rave about eggrolls but these were the bomb, served with the perfect sweet n sour hot mustard sauce. Will defiantly repeat!Kid-friendliness: boostersWheelchair accessibility: no stairs wide doorway

I ordered the chow menu with crispy noodles, (which I’ve had before and enjoyed). If you enjoy lots of bean sprouts and raw onion slices, you will enjoy this. I did not. Just adding more than 2 pieces of broccoli and a decent amount of carrot slices would really go along way. Perhaps more chicken too, because it was pretty skimpy for the price.

This restaurant is very expensive for the quality of food. On Wednesday night, I bought three items and the total was $50. That wouldn't have been a problem, but when I got home, the Ma La Three Flavor entree was old, not saucy and delicious like usual. I wish this place would learn that passing old food to a to-go customer ensures that the customer won't return. It never ends up saving the restaurant money.

My to go order was ruined because the Styrofoam containers melted onto our food. The El Cajon location was very nice about it but when I called the Escondido location by mistake, the gal on the phone was rude & unaccomdating. It was $80 worth of take out wasted. Stop using Styrofoam ?

Took the family here to celebrate my birthday and the staff was so wonderful. They made great recommendations for my kids and for me. They recommended the Taiwanese local basil chicken and it was delicious. I also loved the Chinese beer they recommended.Kid-friendliness: There is something for everyone here. My kids really enjoyed the food and people.

Medium length black hair I had to pull out of my mouth after taking a bite of my sesame triple delight. I understand this can be a rare mistake that can happen in the food business but it doesn’t remove the immediate feeling to throw up the food I paid a lot of money for. Disgusting. Food is usually great. No complaints on taste. But hair in my to-go order?… im stunned and repulsed. Won’t have me as a customer for a long time.

Great food but online menu is pitiful. Why not a list just like in the restaurant? Pictures not helpful when you want to order several things like in this type of restaurant.

Chin's has great food, and the rewards program they used to have made it a little more reasonable; however, they have discontinued their rewards program, which will probably cause me to go there a little less often now...

It’s kind of hit and miss. We’ve eaten inside and have done take outs. The people are very nice. We usually order the same items. The last couple times the fried rice has been kind of mushy and it was done really fast and there weren’t much flavor to it. It was disappointing. The orange chicken was also mushy. Not sure why but the the times we have ordered before has been good and has a fried texture.
