A little music would've been nice for the dead air but at least you can conversate without having to talk over loud noise Overall I gave it a 5 because the food came out hot (even tho 2 dishes were priced too expensive for the quantity imo); it was delicious and my kiddos (with one being a picky eater) enjoyed everything :)

Nothing fancy in terms of decor, but very fresh tasty food and solid service. My wife got chicken Pad Thai; I ordered Pad See Ew with seafood, Thai hot. Great flavor! I didn't think it was all that spicy, though my wife pointed out all the minced Thai chilis. An hour later, I am realizing the skin around my lips is stinging, so I guess it's me, not them! The price was right too. This could become a regular stop.

The oblong tea was a lovely added touch, and we really appreciated the extra oranges our waiter served us for dessert -- such a thoughtful way to end the meal!

Lastly, a carefully curated menu with dishes that pack an intense flavor and warm the heart. Oh yes, they have a plethora of both spirited and non-spirited drinks so no one gets left out. They rotate the drinks often to keep things interesting. Everyone I have taken or referred has fell in with this spot. Including my 17 year old nephew and my 4 year son!! So please get there !! Also, my absolute faves right now are the udon noodles and wheat noodles with the black bread ....your welcome.

We did have reservations, but we didn't see anyone waiting all night. We got lots of appetizers to split amongst the table: the mushroom dumplings, cucumber salad, one of each of the fresh rolls, 1000 broccoli, and some type of bread with cheese that I'm actually not sure what it was called and after looking at their menu again I can't find it, but I'm attaching a picture for reference. I would absolutely get the bread and the broccoli again. Those were our tables favorites. Everything else was still delicious. I got the chicken and broccoli lomein, large size, medium spice. The spice level was great. The portion size was very generous and I took home leftovers. I will say they do charge you $3 for the large size to get a mix of chicken and broccoli so be aware of that. The waitress did warn us which I appreciate. I did enjoy the lomein noodles. I tried our friend's hand cut noodles and udon. They were all great and everyone enjoyed their meal. Our waitress was super kind and helpful. With a large group she handled us very well. She even split the bill multiple ways which we appreciated since I know that can be a pain. They forgot our friend's rice dish so she sat there for a while with no meal while the rest of us ate. After a while we notified the staff and they apologized and brought it out quickly and even took it off her bill without her asking which I was very impressed with. Most places would not do that. They did also charge .50 for going up a spice level which was interesting but not a huge deal. Also be prepared to sit for a while. We were a large group so understandable things take a while. We were there for a total of 2 hours and 45 minutes and that was just from the time we sat until we got the check. It seemed like our waitress was in charge of most of the restaurant. Besides those few things that went wrong I thought the service and quality of food made up for it.

As another reviewer noted, it does come out sizzling hot (tried to capture the steam in the photo) which means the duck continues to cook, unfortunately. The special house sauce was a bit sweet for me, but none was left on my plate! Companion asked for extra spice in the one star spicy dish ordered and that was graciously accommodated. Servings were generous. Weeknight found us there about 6:30, not crowded at all, but weather was nasty which probably kept people home. Seemed to be brisk takeout business.

What it does offer is something far better: food made with care, flavor, and generosity. The standout is the bulgogi. It's tender, beautifully marinated, and cooked just right--savory with a gentle sweetness that never overpowers, and every bite feels like the kind of comforting, well-loved dish that keeps you coming back. The portions are generous, the seasoning is balanced, and it arrives with that quiet confidence of a kitchen that knows exactly what it's doing. The atmosphere is casual, welcoming, and unpretentious--exactly the kind of place where you settle in, chat, and leave feeling cared for. Service is friendly and sincere; you can often sense the family pride in every plate that comes out of the kitchen. Prices remain very reasonable for the quality and quantity, which makes it easy to become a regular. If you're looking for authentic, comforting Korean (and Burmese) flavors in the Buffalo area without the pretension, Chin Hills delivers with heart--especially that outstanding bulgogi. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that quietly becomes one of your favorites--the place you recommend to friends with a smile and the quiet confidence that they won't be disappointed. Highly recommended.
