Review China Chef - La Jolla

Lynne Button
This very little restaurant is the best Chinese Szechwan food we have ever had. Such a little gem. The service was wonderful, the restaurant is very beautiful. They do not take reservations and it makes sense that they don’t. The entrees Tangerine Beef, House Lo Marin and Mu Shu Pork all 5+ stars. The Egg Roll appetizer was good but would maybe ask what one they recommend. We can’t wait to visit here again and highly recommend.

Really pretty atmosphere, friendly service, cozy, and great Chinese food! Recommend! We got two entres, drinks, and two apps, and came down to just under $40 per person—super reasonable for this area! Came away with plenty of leftovers too

Our experience was SO wonderful! We unknowingly stopped in for dinner while they were in a soft-open, only technically taking to-go orders, however-- they took us to a table and gave us great attention. Food was genuinely some of the best we've ever had!! Highly recommend the Shanghai Crispy Pork, Mongolian Beef, and Sweet and Sour Chicken. Service was speedy, attentive, and kind. Thanks!!

Edited after trying a 3rd time: This time, we ordered different dishes. Surprisingly and happily, they were flavorful and well-seasoned! Will be coming for those dishes! Initial review: Easy online ordering, which is why I've ordered from here twice. Service is good in that food gets done quickly and delivery is fast. I really want to like this place since it's so close to home, but alas, the food itself is lackluster. Not much flavor or seasoning. Probably won't try a third time despite how convenient this new spot is. :-(

Potstickers, black pepper beef, crispy pork, and a tofu dish that they ended up making specifically for us (not on the menu). Food was so very good and we have leftovers for the next few days. It's a small place (5 tables), so go early if you want dinner on a Saturday. We arrived just before 5, but people after us had to wait for a table.

Chin's quality is amazing no matter what location you choose! I was in the area and had to check out this new Chins location. I picked up an order of Lo Mein, Spicy Honey Chicken, and Mongolian Beef and the food was amazing as always! I love that I can always count on great food from Chins no matter the location!

Amazing food and service with another location! Chin’s Szechwan is our go to Chinese restaurant whenever we’re down in the area. We were stoked to see that they opened another location in La Jolla, which makes it even more convenient for us. You gotta get the Beef & Broccoli and pot stickers!

Long time customer of Chin’s, so glad they opened up a location in La Jolla! Same high quality and delicious Chinese food as the other locations, and the food is great eating in or via doordash on a Friday night! Love the wings and garlic Szechuan chicken with some lo mein and hot and sour soup, really hits the spot after a long day of golf!

We went for dinner last week, but we were sad to find out dining wasn't open yet. We got some take out instead and took it to the beach. It was absolutely fantastic and we will definitely be back!
