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

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.

First time visiting this cute little restaurant, and we had the pleasure of meeting and chatting…read morewith Kevin himself! The food was delicious, and they genuinely cared about making sure we enjoyed our meal and had everything we needed. Now THAT'S excellent customer service! We decided to try a little bit of everything, including the shrimp tempura, original fried chicken wings, soy chicken wings, plus a lunch box and a bowl. The lunch box and bowl came with a side salad (coleslaw) and miso soup. Everything was delicious, including their homemade kimchi and pickled daikon cubes! Such a great first experience, with delicious food and wonderful customer service. We look forward to coming back again!

I first want to let you know about the owner, she's the sweetest lady (not sure if she's the main owner/possibly be the wife) to welcome us so kindly and prioritize my kids with crayons, papers and coloring books right when we seated and I mean loads of coloring books; thought she'd bring one per kid but she was kind enough to give them tons of options. Another thing that I loved about her that may not seem important, was her smile. She smiled when we came in, smiled when talking to my kids, and smiled when looking around making sure everyone at the restaurant was happy. I can see that she was genuinely happy and proud of her business, super easy-going lady, Trying out different Korean fried chicken spots in town is always fun, so is going back for it, but finding the one place that makes your belly happy is a whole different experience. I love this spot! There's something about the way they season their chicken, I feel like it gives me a more "at home" cozy eating experience. I also enjoyed how they made their beef bulgogi. How the chicken was battered was just right, not hard nor thick. Haven't been back, definitely coming back! Give this kind of K(Korean)FC a try at Kevin's!

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 beef we got had a nice kick to it, but the flavor was messed. They had no one inside. I bet if…read morethey had regular customers. The food would be even better. 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 hadn't been here for several years, but since we were in the area, we decided to give them…read moreanother try. One thing we noticed right away was that the bonchon was already set on the tables before guests arrived. It wasn't a large spread--just a small tin of cheese corn and a divided tray with kimchi, bean sprouts, and fish cake--not sure how long they were left out and did look and taste dry. The servers seemed to work well together. Different team members checked on us, cleared dishes, served food, and helped other's tables. Once it got busier, they also used robot servers to help deliver food. We started with the salad with house dressing and the popcorn chicken. Both were good, and the chicken was nice and moist. For the BBQ, we ordered the Chardol, Ju Mul Luck, Hawaiian Steak, Tri-Tip Bulgogi, and Galbi (short ribs). Having eaten at quite a few Korean BBQ restaurants in Las Vegas, we noticed the portions here were a bit smaller. They also limit each round to three appetizers and four meat selections. Overall, the service was good, and we especially appreciated Eurie for being friendly and attentive. The only thing that concerned us was when another server changed our grill. Instead of lightly drizzling oil onto the grill, she forcefully squeezed the bottle, causing the oil to shoot out onto grill. It seemed like an unnecessary safety risk for both guests and employees. Our favorites were definitely the Tri-Tip Bulgogi and the Galbi. Both were flavorful and tender. The Chardol was good, but the slices were very thin and the portion felt a little small. The restaurant filled up quickly between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m., so it's clearly a popular spot. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and would come back for the Tri-Tip Bulgogi, Galbi, and the teamwork displayed by the staff.

One of the biggest reasons I keep coming back is that it's one of the few Korean BBQ spots that…read morewelcomes solo diners without requiring a party of two. As someone who occasionally likes to eat alone, I really appreciate that. I've visited several times over the years, including recently under the newer ownership. Unfortunately, some of my old favorites aren't quite the same. I used to love their deep-fried oysters, which are no longer on the menu and have been replaced with deep-fried mussels. The kimchi stew recipe also seems to have changed and wasn't as memorable as before. That said, they still serve my favorite gopchang (beef small intestine). When cooked properly, it gets wonderfully crispy and reminds me of Mexican tripas tacos--definitely worth ordering. I'd personally skip the bibimbap appetizer. The rice was hard, the ground beef was cold, and it felt like it relied too heavily on the gochujang sauce for flavor. Even with those changes, I'll continue supporting this business. Service was also attentive.

The taste was spot on, with a generous proportion, that was beyond satisfying! I also, ordered the, "Grilled Squid!" The presentation was beyond, immaculate!

One word: wow…read more Kwok's Bistro blew away my expectations and with my first visit became one of the favorite restaurants in Reno. It's listed online, but I will say call to make a reservation a good 2-3 days before the day you want to visit. The restaurant is small and limited on seating so please give grace to the staff. The food was some of the best Chinese food I've had anywhere, a blast of flavor in each bite. My table ordered honey-glazed prawns mid-meal because I was very impressed/wanted more yummy food. The service was lovely and enjoyed the ambiance in the restaurant, it was comforting setting. I will absolutely be coming back or ordering to go as Kwok's has takeout too.

Wide and flat, just right to hold the mild savory sauce and bits of pork, green onion and bean sprouts. Not your run of the mill from dried noodles made in a large batch. A simple dish that in each ingredient is made to perfection and the sum of the parts is wonderful. The crab Rangoon was unlike any I've ever seen or tasted. Check out the picture. Beautiful and flavorful. Fried rice is my favorite and by which I judge any Chinese restaurant. Must be oily and but so much to cover the bottom of the bowl only cover the rice. Perfect! The space is small and reservations are required. Several parking spots adjacent to the restaurant and many more on the street. Service is up close and personal. You will be treated as friend and special guest. So make your reservation and prepare to be wowed. Of course they do take out.
