Came here because they have drive through and I was not trying to get out of my car one day so I gave them a try. Food is about sub par with any hole in the wall Chinese restaurant you'll find pretty much any where. Now some hole in the walls are amazing but not this one. Chicken was heavily breaded, with very little flavor. The chow mien was also very flavorless and had some weird veggies in it that did not really taste like veggies. Overall if your looking for a quick cheap Chinese food experience then this is a decent place to stop in. Service was pretty good and friendly so they have that going for them. read more

Much worse quality than Panda Express, but more expensive. Greasy, soggy food with bad texture. It will probably upset your stomach after giving you no enjoyment. I did not finish my plate. I did not get the chance to warn my roommate, who went shortly after I did. He had similar opinions. He also did not finish his food. read more

I actually really like this place. This is not Pick Up Stix, PF Chang's, or anything fancy and pricy like that. So if that's the quality you're looking for, don't waste your time here. This is good old, cheap, quick, MSG-filled, take-out $6 Chinese Food. I can get me and my wife out for around $13 bucks with a soda, and we leave stuffed. I have been eating here since they were in the little restaurant next to O'Reilly Auto Parts on Tustin and Collins. (10+ years). Their new location is really nice and clean, you'd never think it belonged to a lower cost chinese food restaurant. The orange chicken is my favorite. Runner-ups would be BBQ Pork and Beef & Broccoli. The fried rice and the chow mein noodles are good too. I'm a big fan of the hot and sour soup. If you are sensitive to MSG or sodium, I'd probably avoid eating here lol. I am 27 years old, and even I feel like I am going to go straight to sleep when I sit down in my car after walking out of this place. I eat it sparingly as a little unhealthy treat every now and then. read more

I like the taste of Panda Express's menu items better (I got the orange chicken and BBQ pork combo) but the portion sizes here are much larger! And the food isn't that bad. I got the combo b through the drive thru and for the price, I feel like it's a good deal (includes an egg roll). The cute girl working the drive thru was patient with me, especially since I had no idea what to get since it was my first time. I'd probably go again! read more

Chin’s Kitchen - B Combo - BBQ Pork and Orange Chicken... Massive! - Chinese Near Me - Orange, California

This place is disgusting. The food is super greasy and didn't even taste close to actual Chinese food. This is another generic version of Panda Express. Rice is too dry and noodles are extremely greasy. read more

Dis.gus.ting. I ordered a beef bowl from the drive thru. The beef was all fat and smothered in some chunky, really bad sauce. I scooped it all off the top and had 5 bites of white rice for dinner. Really, really gross!! read more

This place is kinda funny because I know the owner is Chinese, but the foods there tasted really weird not authentic. Oily and starchy. It's a place I grab my lunch on the way sometime. But if I have time I would not go to this one. read more

I am writing this review because I have been dining at Chin's for many years at both their old location next to Albertsons as well as their current location. Tonight was the second time in a row where I felt compelled to throw away my whole dinner due to poor food quality. I went with my family and ordered a three item with half/half. The Orange Chicken tasted rancid. The Kung Pao Chicken tasted bad as did the BBQ pork. The Egg Flower soup was Luke warm and when serving egg rolls for my wife the server dropped on into the egg flower soup and left it sit in there and then served my soup up and continued to let the egg roll flout in the soup. The portions are big. The prices are reasonable. But the food quality and flavor have seriously diminished in the recent months. Apparently the food handling practices are lacking too based on the issue I observed with the soup both with the cross contamination and food temperature. Believe me, I want Chin's to return to excellence and I want to continue being a fan, but until I see their Yelp rating return to at least three stars, I won't be dining there again. I hope they return to being on their game! read more

I hate to write a negative review during the pandemic where I understand businesses are doing their best, however.. if that is the case then as grateful as we should be to the small businesses they should be grateful to their customers instead of being rude to them. I ordered a chow mein bowl with beef and broccoli. I love their beef and broccoli here and mind you, I've been coming here frequently during this time because they offer drive through. Anyway, I recieve it and start eating, as I eat the more I notice how slimy and mushy the chowmein was underneath the smush beef. I stopped eating, I ate less than half. And returned to get a refund. When I explain to the lady I wasnt impressed, she looks to the bowl inside my car (before I handed it back) and said "but you ate almost all of it right?" in such a rude tone implying I just wanted to jip them for my money back. rather than apologizing to me for the quality being crappy. Sorry, I dont need that attitude. I'm a regular customer there the one time I kindly ask for a refund the lady gives me attitude. I did get my refund but I didnt feel good leaving there, so I wont be going back there. read more

Best customer service, the ladies are always so sweet and very friendly. The restaurant is always clean and well put together. Prices are also amazing. Love the chawmein and orange chicken. read more

We have eaten there several times at their new location. Thought for a fast food place was really very very good. Plenty of food and hot and reasonably priced. I had the Mongolian beef menu one time and that, too, was delicious. So glad to see a restaurant like this doing well. The restaurant that was there before this one was a Mexican restaurant and there were very few people in the place when we went there, so this restaurant is a big improvement and the food and service are excellent. And so are the prices. Ethel M. read more

I thought this place was pretty good and cheap. The food has a more authentic asian taste which caters to my asian palette. The chow mein noodles are very flavorful and much much better than Pandas. The fried rice is much better as well as I hate Pandas fried rice. The orange chicken is not bad but probably best to get it when they just make it. The pepper beef is good too. Definitely worth trying out. A two item combo with eggroll or soup is about 5.96. If you are a light eater, the one-item combo should suffice as they give you a generous portion of chowmein and fried rice. read more

Food with no flavor. Kung pao had no pow and orange chicken was crispy sweet fried nothing. Chow mein noodles so short you dont need the fork. The hot and sour soup was only thing that had some flavor but skimpy on ingredients. I don't recommend the weak flavored thai tea boba. The pearls were stuck together some not completely cooked. Spent $9.50 for two item combo & boba. Dining room was clean w/2 tvs and place had drive thru, big whoop. Would rather go for chicken bento at Orange Roll near by. read more

Just went through the drive through! Everyone is always so pleasant and nice. Waited a couple minutes only because they freshly cooked shrimp chow mein. Karina at the window is always smiles read more

Overall an OK dining experience. The food is average. Orange Chicken is the best option here. Chow-Mein is good as well. The dining area is great and clean and offers 2 tv's however there's no volume most of the time... This place also serves Mongolian bowls where you pick and choose meat and veggies and they cook it in front of you. Overall ok experience and worth taking at least 1 trip to. read more

I went in around 2:30pm on a Sunday afternoon to get some quick takeout Chinese. I was a little worried that the food was going to be old since I was going in at an off peak hour. To my surprise, the food looked fresh. I ordered a 3 item combination for around $8. I got half noodles and half fried rice with the following items: - Kung pay chicken - chicken and string beans - bbq roasted pork The 3 item also came with an egg roll or soup. The fried rice was standard fare, nothing great about it and generally plain. The noodles were seasoned nicely and tasty. The Kung pay chicken was not spicy, too saucy (should be a little drier), not enough peanuts and celery and had a bland taste. The chicken and string beans was also very bland. The bbq roasted Pork was excellent. The bbq roasted Pork pretty much tastes the same anywhere you go. The egg roll they serve is meatless so it also tastes plain. They also had a Mongolian bbq setup but I did not try that. The customer service was OK. Not great like a Chick-fil-A but not terrible and mean like some Chinese restaurants. The facility is spacious and clean, but the food is just average in taste. The best way to describe it is bland fast food Chinese. I may be harsh and it is probably due to me being Chinese and usually going to authentic places. In this case I just wanted something cheap with a little variety. I will not be going back here. read more

These is my goto place for chinese fix. Food is good but service is also good. All the girls there do a good job. They always have smile on there face read more

See all

I have been coming here for a while now and I plan on continuing to come back. The place has a drive-thru which is a big plus when you are in a hurry (or have a newborn). The staff has always been helpful and courteous. The food smells and tastes good. The place is very casual so don't expect to come here and get a waiter but definitely a place to try if you want to get some good (and generous portion) Chinese food. read more

This place has the typical Chinese fast food side, where I recommend the orange chicken. But the real gem here is that they also have a Mongolian BBQ side, pick your ingredients put them in a bowl, they add noodles on top of it and cook it in front of you. And their boba is delicious, it's more of a slushy texture. Favorite boba here is the mango. And to top off the convenience, they have a drive-thru. read more

Chin’s Kitchen - Mongolian BBQ - Chinese Near Me - Orange, California

They are my roommates go to for hangover chinese food so I decided to try them out this weekend. I tried their Mongolian bbq, not their Chinese so I cannot speak on that. But the Mongolian bbq as a little disappointing. They were out of pineapple and didn't have water chestnuts which are my favorite Mongolian bbq components. They also didn't have sesame seeds which are also a classic topping. They also only have two sauce options: a spicy one and garlic. All of the other classic Mongolian bbq options were there and the noodles were pretty tasty. Overall it is descent, but if I go back I will try the regular Chinese food because the Mongolian bbq isn't anything special. read more

It's cheap and greasy Chinese. You get what you pay for. However, do not get the egg drop soup, it is a bowl of oil. I've never had greasy soup like that, I threw it away immediately. Gross. read more

Was driving down the street and immediately had to pull in to a CHINESE FOOD DRIVE-THRU!!! Chin's kitchen has really fast service. They give big portions for a low cost, with your entrée you get to pick an egg roll (very yummy) or the soup (did not try). The chow mein is on point, I like that it is more noodles than the add ins. I also had the BBQ pork and orange chicken which were both great picks. Also I recommend the strawberry slushy (with boba gives it a kick of happiness) read more

Chin’s Kitchen - BBQ pork, orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, and some white rice/chowmein - Chinese Near Me - Orange, California

This place is decent chinese take out for a cheap price. The service is very friendly and prompt. The dining area feels nicer with newer looking chairs and booths. They have nice long store hours, open until 9:30 every night. I had the orange chicken, which was mostly fried flour, very little meat. The beef and broccoli had a lot of beef, but it was too salty. Chow mein was decent. Their portions are very big. If I had to choose, I would rather pay extra and go to Panda Express down the street. Their flavor is better than Chin's. If you plan to go often, get their card - 10 stamps and a free combo. read more

First time eating takeout from here. Can't say anything about the service since I wasn't there to order, but I can say something about the food. The only reason I gave two stars was because the BBQ Pork rice noodle soup was good. The rest of the food pretty much sucked. Chicken satay was bland. Orange chicken was SO awful. Literally tasted like artificial orange lollipop. All breading, no chicken. Makes Panda Express look good. read more

Just went through the drive thru. Ordered Chowmein and egg rolls. Chowmein was great. I loved every bite and it was worth it. I am a huge egg roll lover especially from Chins but lately they have been horrible. I come here at least 3 times a week but if the food keeps going down I might stop and look for another place. read more

I did not give them a 1-star because these places are usually bad. The place was large and relatively clean. This is your typical Chinese Food restaurant where you can purchase 1, 2 or 3 items with fried-rice or chow mein. I did not think that this place was particularly good based on the following: 1. Service is terrible. The younger Hispanic girls working behind the counter are not very friendly. They look like unhappy teenagers that are unhappy and bored. If you want to act that way, do not work in the service industry. 2. Food quality: Having been there several times, I have tasted most of what they have to offer. Most of the noddles and vegetables are over-done. The meat is usually dry and tasteless. The egg rolls smell funny. read more

Not happy with this place. It used to be so good when they were off collins and tustin. Their service went down. They have girls there who have huge fake nails. How are you supposed to handle food with those long things? We spent $47 and wish we didnt. I called and spoke to a girl after we picked up our family dinner. The fried rice has no egg, no taste, barely any veggies. The noodles have no taste and have gone down in quality. The orange chicken isnt even chicken just a bunch of sauce with a bunch of hard crunchy pieces you cant really chew. I called multiple times and they said only the manager vero can do a refund. I called again and they say they dont have a vero there just a veronica. The young girls are rude and are so quick to hang up the phone. I called again and the lady vero said to bring in receipt and she leaves at 4pm.i went in at 330pm and she was gone for the day. I feel I'm getting a run around and not being properly taken care of. What happened to customer service? Also I asked for the owner Alex and they say hes never there. I called again and the young girl said don't think we can refund you because it's been longer than a week. That's not my fault. If the manager was there more and the owner was there more often maybe it wouldnt be longer than a week. Maybe train the young girls correctly and expect them to be able to give a refund. This is bad business and you can tell by the reviews that they arent good anymore.im very disappointed read more

It's a typical Chinese fast food spot. Hit or miss what you get. For a while there I wasn't getting the right items in my food, so be sure to check before you leave. Like others said, portions are HUUUUGE. They dang near stuff that To-Go tray til it barely closes. Prices are pretty cheap too. This isn't Green China, or a sit down Chinese restaurant. It's where you go to get fast food for cheap $$$. read more

I hate to say it during COVID as I'm sure businesses are going through rough times but the foods here was absolutely disgusting. I never reject or throw away food but I threw my whole entree away after eating a quarter of it. Really really bad - I have a feeling I might be sick tonight too... read more

This is literally the worst Chinese food I've ever had which is a huge bummer. We ordered the family dinner and ended up having to throw it all away. I had such high hopes! I'm attaching a picture of the chicken teriyaki just as a reference. read more

Chin’s Kitchen - "Chicken Teriyaki" - Chinese Near Me - Orange, California

Had a two item combo via the drive-thru. The broccoli beef was mostly gravy / broth and a few pieces of broccoli. It leaked out of its container and bag. The beef that was with it was small and soaked. The spicy chicken was mostly vegetables with bright orange chili jam of tasteless meat. Rice was dry, chow mien was wet. Really wish I would have had a better experience As the drive thru is a nice feature and the price and service were decent.... $8 for a box of wet veggies, noodles and dry rice. read more

Sorry, but Chins has lost my business. Although portion size and price is good. Food was not. Sweet and sour chicken all breading. Beef and broccoli; little beef and broccoli was mush. I actually got sick from it. Checking off my list. read more

Food is okay, but the lights in front are the most irritating thing ever. I won't eat there until the lights stop flashing. Ugh

I would give 4 stars for the service and 1 star for the food. 2 item combo plate with fried rice. Orange Chicken - Steam tray full of what looked like fresh Orange Chicken. Must have been pretty old. Could have broken their front window with a few of the pieces if I was so inclined. It was cold too when I sat down to eat roughly 5 minutes later. BBQ Pork - Fatty with a strange taste. Cold when I opened my lunch up 5 minutes away. Egg Flower Soup - So so. The vegetables in the soup had a strange consistency. The taste was ok. Panda is always much better, this is not a good alternative. read more

Normally I would give this fast food 4 stars. Tonight I went thru drive thru. I ordered B combo with half n half. Almost all rice with a little noodles on top. Very little mushroom chicken. Most of the orange chicken lacked chicken. (Just batter) no fortune cookie and no napkin or eating utensils. Disappointed! read more

Best Chinese food I've tasted. Doesn't have too much sesame oil taste and smell to food. And the food is not oily.

so good! great customer service good proportions of food and tasty. plus wont break your bank

This place is awesome. I just wish they had Dr Pepper and larger Napkins. The people here are great!

Hoy crap! Most everything we ate was just awful. I've had three day Chinese food that was better. The egg soup was the worst thing I have ever eaten. On a happier note the ladies that worked there were super nice. read more

The food was bland. Not very flavorful. The customer service was great though the cashier was very friendly and helpful.
