Chin's Szechwan - Oceanside

Delicious! Can't wait to return. The service was fantastic. The food was amazing. My husband and I shared an appetizer and then we each ordered a main dish for ourselves. We ate until we were full and we definitely have enough leftovers for lunch and dinner tomorrow. I recommend!

Appearance is nice. Staff seems friendly. Asked for dark fried rice as I am used to a Cantonese version of fried rice which is very very dark brown. Rice was still very light. I also ordered shrimp egg foo young and I was immediately grossed out as the very first spoon into the container of gravy I pulled up hair ‍️‍️‍️. Since my hair is up and currently gray and my husband is bald, naturally it wasn't our hair. I started to toss the whole meal in the trash which was just under 60 bucks. Not impressed. Looking for a fried rice house like "The Mandarin" that was in Oceanside off of Mission next to the Walmart grocery store.

*Update* I received a very quick response from Howard and he has made a very good faith effort to rectify this unfortunate issue. Will try Chins again and update my review again.

What the chin's on Saturday.food was delicious I ordered the cashew chicken it was delicious just expected more chicken in the dish but that is to be expected for a lunch special My wife ordered orange chicken and said it was probably the best orange chicken she'd had in a long time and the friend that we were with ordered the sweet and sour chicken and loved it I must say they're wontons are beyond delicious

If one is looking for authentic Chinese cuisine look no further! This is by far my favorite Chinese restaurant in SoCal!

I've been coming to Chin's for years. Great food! My only problem is that every time I go to order, the prices have increased again. Fried rice for $17.00? The prices have gotten insane. I think I'm gonna have to find a new favorite for that reason.

The food is always delicious and fresh. But what stands out the most to me is the staff. They are some of the nicest individuals that I have ever had the pleasure of being around.

At first I thought that it was a weird place but maybe bcs is a little too dark inside and no windows,

I used to come here as a kid with my family for special occasions and as a young adult on my first date with my hubby (then boyfriend).

Recently, I came with mom for lunch after many, many years, and it was still the same (in a good way). The atmosphere is dark and moody and slightly sophisticated (maybe). To me, the decor is classic and brings nostalgia.

Their food is consistently good, cooked well, and flavorful. I've ordered a shrimp dish and the eggplant dish (my favorite vegetable). They've never disappointed me.

I'd recommend this place all day every day.

Delicious Chinese food, good Sichuan spice. This is flavorful food, but Chinese seeking authentic food may find it too Americanized. They explain the menu very well and point out tips for enjoying the lunch menu. I will come here again and again. Service was excellent. Friendly staff, good prices. Food came fast. We ate everything on the plate. Get the spicy beef.

The food is very delicious but i would appreciate it if everyone here/ the employess here would stop wearing masks please it is june 2022 not june 2020 not june 2021 i understand its you're choice but it has been over 2 years now take off the masks please

What a find! With so many options for Chinese food out there, it was wonderful to find a place with great food, excellent service, and a good atmosphere. Portions were ample and fairly priced. The menu had something for everyone, ranging from the traditional, to the not often found. We started with hand made pot stickers and moved on to tangerine chicken, Schezwan beef, and pork fried rice. The flavors were amazing. Even my picky 8-year-old was impressed. Then we tried the pepper beef and the house special Pao Hu pork (pictured). The beef, served on a sizzling hot platter, was tender and delicious. The Pao Hu pork, which we were told is not found elsewhere, was this wonderful blend of crispy but soft pork and peanuts. My wife doesn't like peanuts but could not get enough of this dish. The staff was attentive and friendly. I can't wait to be back in the area and try some more dishes (fortunately we have leftovers). I highly recommend.

This place was HIGHLY recommended by a neighbor of a friend, and WOW WOW WOW - super glad we made the time to explore this venue because everything was really delicious here!

We ordered: eggplant in Szechuan sauce, honey walnut shrimp, fried rice, chicken corn soup, Mongolian beef, and General Tso's chicken.

Every dish was really spectacular and we just really enjoyed the quality of the food, the ambiance, and the super personable waiter who served us.

This is a MUST STOP for Oceanside eats!

Horrible Phone service. Not sure who they use for taking phone orders but, Wow what a mess! Took me over 20minutes to order Chicken Chop Suey. First the person sent the order to the wrong Chins then it took her 15 minutes to send it to the correct location.

We enjoyed the sweet and sour. It's very unfortunate that we couldn't our San Diego gift card there and the manager is very strict with the closing time. We literary got "kicked out".

Consistently great food, over the last 4 years we've lived in this area. Servers are soft-spoken, attentive & polite. Sweet & Sour Pork is one of my favorites here. Pork chunks, coated in an orange sauce are crispy on the outside, & succulent & juicy inside. Pineapple chunks, thinly-sliced, flower-shaped carrots, sliced green bell peppers & onions complete this tasty dish. Another here we love, is Chicken Chop Suey- tender thinly-sliced white meat chicken, broccoli, bok choy, zucchini, pea pods, mushrooms & cabbage, swimming in a delicious white sauce.
