    Don't judge a book by its cover?  Let's find out.
    Billy E.

    From the outside (and kinda from the inside) you would think this place was closed. I ordered my go to with any Chinese fast food, the infamous CHOW FUN, bah-bah-bah! Coming in at a standard $11.00, and prepared in the standard 8ish minutes, I was presented with my bundled little treasure through a slot in the thick plastic barrier. My beef chow fun had a fishy taste. Very bland and flavorless. Very sad wimpy noodles dressed in a very thin sauce with some bean sprouts. Just a very brown bland dish. They really should add some scallions for some "pop". As other reviewers stated, it's next to an am/pm and cricket wireless I came, I ate, I judged......no bueno.

    Store Front of China Noodles

    This is definitely a yummy hidden gem in the Reno/Sparks Area. This is literally mine and my significant others absolute favorite place to go for quick and satisfying Chinese food. We were on a bit of a Chinese food kick so we ended up here around 7:30 pm on 03/16/2021. We actually haven't been here since BEFORE the pandemic started so the inside has changed immensely. They have some chairs spaced 6 feet apart so you can wait on your food if need be. All the tables have been stacked up and are currently out of order. The front counter has quite the plastic barrier in place, and staff had on goggles and masks. So when we arrived, we put in our order which consisted of 2 orders of Potstickers (10 in an order for $6.00 +tax), then we each got a combination plate ($7.50 +tax), mine had Pork Fried Rice with Orange Chicken and Sesame Chicken. The BF got Chicken Chow Mein with Beef Broccoli and Spicy General Chicken. When we arrived home everything was still nice and warm. We started on our 2 orders of Potstickers right away. These are legitimately some of the fattest & yummiest Potstickers in town. I'd eat them every single day if I could. After we polished off the Potstickers we moved on to demolishing our combo plates. Of course, you know how we do it... we share! The Chicken Chow Mein was on point, absolutely no complaints here. The Beef Broccoli was delicious, the broccoli was fresh n crunchy, beef was tender and flavorful. The Spicy General Chicken was not spicy in anyway, which kind of disappointed the BF since he said as spicy as you can make it, keep in mind this man lives for hot and spicy and I do not, I had to agree though, it wasn't spicy in any way but was still cooked well and quite tasty. The Pork Fried Rice was perfect not over or undercooked and I honestly ate most of it without soy sauce. Please note I love soy sauce on all my rice...but for once I just didn't feel like it was needed. The orange chicken was nicely cooked and flavored, I also enjoyed the orange slice awaiting me when I opened the box. It was an appealing aesthetic in my opinion. It was nicely flavored, not too orangey, is that even a word? Lol. I definitely think it was a tad bit better than Panda Express. Lastly, my personal favorite Sesame Chicken!! They have theirs down to a science...it always has the perfect amount of sesame seeds and sauce, never too dry or too saucy. This is probably why I tend to order a double side of Sesame Chicken. All in all this is a great place for a quick, filling, cheap meal. They are tucked in between the AM/PM gas station and Cricket Wireless Store on North McCarran across from Sierra Sids. Stop in, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

    War wonton soup

    This is my go-to spot for soup when I'm sick. The war wonton soup is packed with nutrients from perfectly cooked meats and veggies, but still light enough to not bog you down. They keep their prices super low despite the amazing quality of food, and have almost 0 social media presence! I truly think n they ate sparks' best kept secret.

    Almond chicken combo plate $5.50
    Alexis C.

    I ordered the almond chicken combo plate for only $5.50 and it came out of the kitchen in the just a couple of minutes. The food came out piping hot and there were lots of yummy veggies mixed into the chicken (zucchini, carrots, mushroom, celery and broccoli stalks). I was pretty satisfied with my cheap Chinese food. The chicken meat was a little bland, but the sauce made up for it. Their hot sauce is really good, too, and it looks house made. I was mixing around with my spoon to count how many pieces of chicken came with my order (10 small pieces) when I found a hair!!! A thick little black hair sat in the middle of my spoon. I immediately brought my meal up to the counter to have it replaced. They were apologetic and accommodating, and my new plate was brought to my table just a couple minutes later. The new dish was missing the zucchini and mushroom, so I wasn't shy to ask for more veggies. The lady took it back herself and cooked the veggies on top. The taste of their food is average (but satisfying) for cheap Chinese food. The hair incident will probably keep me from coming back. It's not the best place in Sparks, but if you're close by and have a craving for this type of food, it's an alright place to check out.

    Out of a jar good.
    Mel O.

    I wouldn't recommend this place. I got honey garlic chicken and a spicy chicken (both were breaded) with noodles on the side. Let's just say the noodles were the only good thing. Both chickens looked like death. All breaded no chicken, super soggy. Both lacked flavor. They looked the same. Just horrible. On the upside the chili paste was good.

    After taking out my chow mein to put on a plate this was on the bottom. SO OILY!!!
    Honest F.

    This place is a hit or miss for me and today was definitely a miss and wont miss coming back. My wife and daughter order the two item combo plate and they said it didn't taste like how it use to and abandoned the food. I think it depends on what chef is making the food and today the lady was making it. My daughter two items was General chicken and cashew chicken with chicken chow mein. My daughter said the General chicken was way to sour and cashew chicken had no cashew in it. My wife two items were honey garlic chicken and szechuan beef with pork fried rice. Honey garlic chicken was not crispy and had to much sauce that made it soggy and instead of szechuan beef she made broccoli and beef with pork fried rice that was just sad and bland and she was the one that was taking my order over the counter. Now for me the chow mein was good and flavor was on point with big cuts of BBQ pork which i like but it was so damn oily, I had to take it out the box and put it on a plate so I can eat it without wiping my lips every bite and after taking it out of the box there was so much oil and to top it off they only gave me 1 chili oil and chili sauce for 3 orders of food, SHADY!! good thing i had the same chili sauce at home. I use to like this place alot but performance and quality of food went down hill.

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!!

Place has nice seating area and is open and cozy. Nice to relax and have some hot tea.

    This was the second time I tried this restaurant since moving here from the Bay Area. Which of…read morecourse automatically makes me a Chinese food snob! It's been about 4 years since the last time, I tried the food here and since I was hosting about 10 people at my home, I wanted to serve something simple and cost effective. My goto for this is Chinese food. I ordered chicken chow mein and stir fried mixed vegetables. It came in two trays and enough from probably closer to 15 people. So portions were good but the total bill was between $120-$130 about what I've come to expect here in Reno. Let's just say, I've traveled to several countries in Asia and lived most of my life in Northern CA eating quite a bit of Chinese food. This doesn't make my an expert but it would be fair to say, I am quite familiar with what is considered mainstream traditional Chinese cooking. But let's get to the food, with the caveat that I realize that everyone's preferences can vary widely when it comes to food. So my opinion is based on what one would find in Hong Kong and San Francisco. The chicken chow mein had all the correct ingredients, long noodles that were slightly thicker than say spaghetti, had the correct amount of softness without being mushy. Chicken was presented in slices and appeared to be white meat, there was some white onions thrown in there for some texture and flavor. Normally when I order chow mein, it isn't served with a brown "gravy". Not that this dish was swimming in it, but think of spaghetti with tomato sauce. Replace the red with medium dark brown and you get the picture. Now my guests who are Reno locals, thought it was great and flavorful. I would agree with the flavor part but it was much too saucy for my tastes. Would I try Chin Chin again for noodles? I'm not sure but the owner did state, they can make dishes any way I like, so perhaps I'll order off menu next time. The stir fried mixed vegetables is where I was most disappointed. Let's start with the ingredients. All were sliced in 2-3 inch pieces, which included button mushrooms, zuchinni, bamboo shoots, brocolli, carrots, and onions. This dish could have passed for a savory vegetable stew. There was a lot of gravy, so much so, that it colored all the vegetables brown, except for the carrots. The sauce had a slight "twang" to it, almost vinegar or worchester-like. Not my thing, I could not taste the individual flavors of the vegetables because of how heavy the sauce was. The brocolli was over cooked where the flowerette parts were pale. I prefer my vegetables to be just cooked, almost snappy. I would not order this dish again. No comments on the restaurant itself as both times I tried it, was for take out. So bottomline, would I try Chin Chin again? Yes but I will be very specific on how I would like my order prepared. Maybe for their lunch special.

My friend and shared the following: - Crab Fried Rice: I am usually picky with fried rice because it can get dry very easily depending on how it's cooked. However, this was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. - Yellow Curry: This was good and came with a bowl of rice. How it was served gave a very homey feel. - Mango Sticky Rice: The rice is sweet and the mangos were good. However, there is a big difference in the amount of mangoes and rice they serve per plate compared to the first time we were here. Overall, the food tastes good and the service is okay. I am disappointed in the lack of consistency with plating and amount of food that is served. I would not eat in the restaurant in the future, but prefer take out. I really wish the presentation and comfort was the same as when I came in the first time. There is a difference seen in the pictures from the first time I came to eat in the restaurant versus now.
