General Tso bean curd
Jordan B.

Drowning the protein in sauce must be a Reno thing because this is the 3rd restaurant in town that serves General Tso this way. What is most disappointing is the two lonely broccoli florets and the dry rice served on the side. Crab Rangoon was good and my daughter liked her kids chicken chow mein. Not horrible all in all but better Chinese options in town.

Chin Chin is probably one of the most overlooked Asian food destinations. It's truly a hidden gem. It's tucked away from high traffic visibility but once you're inside you feel like you landed in another world. The dark quiet atmosphere spotted with subtle but colorful lights. I am always recognized and greeted with a friendly smile. We normally go for their amazing lunch specials but this time we were dining with friends. We landed on the family special which at $17.00 per person each are able to select an entree with rice, soup and 3 appetizers. We had the Sesame Chicken, Vegetable, Hunan Chicken and Szechuan Chicken. They were all served pipping hot and delicious. The Hot and sour is recommended The hot mustard is not tame so go easy. This spot is always nice for a quiet relaxing meal. One of our go to spots.

Tried something new this time. It was the Hunan shrimp lunch special with hot n sour soup... it was delicious and new, fresh tasting and hot. Of course I do get my stand by of Massaman chicken. If you like spice they will creamy up the heat... I think I've tried "3" and it was mighty toasty!! So now I just get mild so I can actually taste and enjoy it. Service is always friendly and I swear the lady remembers me each time I come in, or at least she makes it seem that way. Place has nice seating area and is open and cozy. Nice to relax and have some hot tea.

Beef and Scallop hot pot
Brittany H.

Delicious... Serve was great, staff are very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is clean and relaxing atmosphere. I had the beef and scallop hot pot and my husband had the red curry chicken both served with a side of white rice. It was amazing and we will definitely be back.

So clean and nice in here

The customer Service is the best Customer service I have ever had. You will never be left without anything here. Very clean. I'm a super picky eater. Everything I've gotten here has been great! Best place ever! I really don't wanna blow this spot up, but people should know these people deserve service

The main dining area

Good service and large portions. Everyone in our group of eight enjoyed their entrees. They only serve beer and wine, but have a decent selection. Nice atmosphere, though some in our group felt it too dark. We will definitely be back.

We didn't feel like cooking tonight, so my sister brought us all to chin chins for a yummy dinner. It was wonderful. Service was great and efficient. Very friendly. Very clean in here. We ordered. Got our appetizer. Got our tea and our entrees. First time to order this sizzling plates and they came with the egg flower soup cup of rice And a sizzling shrimp and scallops. It was quite the little show. I loved it and it tasted fabulous. I'm going to try. Every one of those I'll be back was so good.

Steak hibachi, fried rice, salads, chicken chow me-in, cherry temple and Thai tea.
Mariana G.

Tried this place for the first time. Me and my husband were just hungry and in the area and we stumbled upon this hidden GEM! The hibachi dinner specials are extremely affordable and the flavor was amazing. We had our baby with us as well and they made us feel more than welcome. Great service, great food and great prices! Definitely one of our new favorite spots for a dinner night out.

Mongolian beef after i cooked it down and re seasoned
Nathan D.

Food was pretty good overall but disappointing for my personal taste. I've never had a sugary sweet mongolian beef before and i hope i never have it again.It was spicy which is good but totally missed the mark for me, good thing we ordered for take out, I literally put it all in a pan and added soy sauce and chili garlic sauce to kill the overly sweet flavor of the dish. Also the beef was chewy, big pieces of tough meat that just needed to be cooked a bit more and reduced down to make them tender and pleasant to chew on. My wife ordered orange chicken and it was good, much better than my mongolian beef. Veggie spring rolls were excellent but i didn't get a side of spicy mustard- my fault , the mustard packets are terrible and nothing like the real deal. Hot and sour soup was pretty good. I'm a fortune palace guy, they are closed on mondays so we tried the only local option we could find and it didn't compare in my opinion. That's a first for me to cook and season take out chinese to improve taste and tenderness. I order Mongolian Beef every time i eat chinese food, so take it from a fan of the dish, sugary sweet mongolian beef is not very good, it's supposed to be savory and spicy- Soy Sauce, rice wine vinegar, fresh garlic, chili garlic sauce, little oyster sauce and a pinch of ginger and that will make a lovely savory dish. HOLD the Sugar and instantly improve that dish for your customers!!

Red Curry chicken
T B.

Seated quickly, menus in hand. Ordered water first Anna we were brought out snack chips and 2 sauces. Ordered a couple of Thai dishes and they came out tasting great. After a long road trip, this food (more healthy than what we've been eating) was comforting. Wait staff was very nice and patient , would eat here again if in area.

Fried won ton strips with mustard and sweet and sour sauce part of the lunch.
Michelle F.

Love to try new places and anticipate loving each new experience. My first visit today trying Chin Chin restaurant. Lovely location but I was disappointed when inside. The decor seems very dated and cumbersome. I could not imagine coming here for dinner. We tried their lunch special. We had the hot and sour soup and also tried the egg drop. The soup was warm only, but served in a bowl larger than the norm and very delicious, both were enjoyed. A dish of fried won ton strips was presented with sides of mustard and sweet and sour sauce for dipping. Didn't eat it or need it. My son chose the chicken chow mein and I had the chicken with vegetables. The chow mein was normal but not exceptional. My chicken dish was not delicious. Normally this dish comes with a clear, light sauce and this was what I was expecting. The sauce it came in was dark and I found lumps of gelatinous sauce in my meal, not heated through to melt properly. I must say the decor was a real struggle for me. I found it so unappealing it detracted from everything. In all fairness, when we were there, there continued to be more people coming in and clearly many were repeat customers. I usually review after several visits but I will not be back.

Consistently amazing! We had been going for their AYCE sushi…read morefor over a decade now with excellent food and service. When the pandemic hit, I started doing their Chinese takeout with the Combo boxes and learned that their Chinese food was also incredible and for several years now, have consistently gotten fresh, flavorful, quality ingredients that has never been wrong. I just kept forgetting photos because we end up scarfing it down before I realize that I still hadn't posted a review and I always want photos with my reviews. Last Friday night, I finally remembered and I'm glad I waited because this was the first time one of us got the Lobster Roll as an entree. This HUGE and beautiful roll is absolutely a meal unto itself and worth getting as your only entree. The sushi chefs are truly artists. It also tastes as good as it looks. I have became an AYCE "cheap date" in the last several years so I always get the combo box now. It gives you a little of everything and you can bring home leftovers. There's something about the salad, or rather everything about the salad! It's just lettuce, crunchy noodles and their house sesame dressing but the lettuce is always fresh, cool and crisp. It never tastes bagged so someone is prepping heads of lettuce every day. It doesn't matter if you choose the Tonkatsu, Sesame Chicken or Steak with your box because all of them are tender. I usually get the chicken and it's a LARGE portion of tender chicken, lightly breaded and then sauced, sliced and topped. The Tempura veggies always includes one shrimp, one zucchini and a few sweet potatoes. I upgrade my half sushi roll to the Wayne's roll or something for, usually, a $3 upcharge which still comes in very affordable. Their Egg drop and Miso soup is never thin and always hearty, white rice is perfectly cooked, slightly sticky. It's a nice sampler for people like me who have a hard time making a decision and isn't overly expensive. I'm generally cursed dining out and if something is gonna be wrong, taste bad, forgotten, undercooked, whatever... it's usually me. So when I find a place that never misses a step, it's like finding my personal unicorn. CJ is a unicorn!

Food, ambiance & service are always Five Star at CJ Palace…read more I love to sit in their booths.But there are always so many people at the sushi counter with the sushi chefs. Thank you Stanley for always providing outstanding service. The steak & tuna is my favorite. It comes with hot miso soup, salad, rice, temporary and tuna slices. Wow. I also ordered a mountain roll. I will definitely be taking food home tonight. I love this food. Outstanding. Julie A

My fianceé told me about the Lemon chicken she tried for her first visit and how much she loved it! It's not her usual to to for the lunch specials, but she highly praises it. I am very happy to say that I do too now. The chicken was cooked perfectly and reminded me of chicken Katsu, light and crisp. It wasn't drenched in a gelatinous over lemony sauce either. Everything was light and refreshing, if you love lemon I suggest asking for a couple more wedges. I can't wait to have it again very soon. The entire time we were there which was about 45 minutes there were hardly any other customers for a Friday I thought it would be much more busy around lunch time. I do not believe this place deserves to be that slow on a Friday at all. I'm seriously going to be dreaming of more scallion pancakes with that sauce! The dining room and bathroom was very large and clean. Also, I really love the pictures of the food along the windows. Pictures are always very helpful. On our way out we picked up almond cookies for $2 per bag (sandwich bag ziplock). When I bit into it I was immediately transported to the Japanese tea garden in San Francisco. I have very fond childhood memories there. We always had almond cookies with our jasmine tea. Well done all! See ya on the next visit

Caie in the Legends shopping center in Sparks was our lunch stop on a Saturday after a quick visit…read moreto Scheels. Parking was easy since the restaurant sits a little away from the busiest part of the center. We were greeted right away and seated as soon as we walked in. The dining room is large with an open layout and plenty of room between tables. The decor follows a classic Asian style with umbrellas hanging from the ceiling and themed pieces throughout the space. Service was warm and attentive. Our server checked in often, stayed on top of drink refills, and answered questions without hovering. We ordered a mix of Chinese dishes and dim sum. The dim sum stood out and ended up being the highlight of the meal. The main dishes were less consistent. The calamari felt heavy with breading, and the pot stickers, while flavorful, didn't quite hit the mark. The fried rice and duck were both on the salty side. Overall, the place is comfortable with kind service, solid dim sum, and a few dishes that could use a lighter touch.

The shrimp dumpling amd the shu mai were pretty goof..I would rate thay as a 4 for reno. They furniture keep the place spotless. When I went there the staff member was even cleaning the windows and the waiting area seats. The cashier was super helpful and super friendly. She said to get the eff custard bao fried next time, but must be eaten fresh. So take out won't work. It was pretty good, but could tell it was probably steamed a little bit ago. The price is decent. About average for dimsum amd asian cuisine. They should do special events or host holiday things to get more attraction to them. Would help drive in members. Like a moon festival set or new years set. People love those and must be reservations. If they advertised this gs like that. I bet the community would love to experience that. Overall its not bad Would go again, but we rarely eat out. Also there's plenty of parking , just beware those people coming from the backside. They tend to speed a little.

We ordered the Vermicelli with Grilled Chicken, Dry Fried Beef Chow Fun, and Gai Lan with Beef. The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable. With "Hong Kong Diner" in the name, I was expecting authentic Cantonese stir-fries with good wok hei. Unfortunately, the Dry Fried Beef Chow Fun lacked that signature smoky flavor, and the texture was closer to lo fun than traditional chow fun. The Gai Lan with Beef also lacked wok hei. The outer layer of the gai lan stems had been peeled away, so the stems lost the crisp texture that makes gai lan so enjoyable. The Vermicelli with Grilled Chicken was overly tender and quite salty. It seemed to be marinated so heavily that I couldn't really taste the natural flavor of the chicken. Overall, the restaurant offers generous portions, reasonable prices, and friendly service. I just wish the Cantonese dishes had delivered the wok hei I was expecting from a place with "Hong Kong Diner" in its name. :)
