Passed by this place while craving Indian food. Ordered chicken biryani based on staff's recommendation. It was okay. Definitely not the best I've ever had. Didn't taste a lot of spices other than hot spicy. Chicken wise, they used a mix of chicken parts like drum stick and thigh. The ordering experience was a bit confusing. They had all the Chinese food items presented on the menu behind the food bar. And the Indian food menus glued to the wall next to where people order... The ceiling was leaking while I was there. They had a bucket to hold the water and the water was yellowish... and it was right next to the place to collect food... Will not visit again. read more

Chin Chin Street Side Kitchen - Chicken biryani - Chinese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This weekend we ordered take-out from Chin Chin to satisfy my gluten free requirements and my boyfriends love of Chinese Food. It was such a great experience! From the moment we placed our order to our pickup, it was a smooth delivery. THE EMPLOYEES: The employees were super friendly and helpful. They let me customize the dishes to get exactly what we would love. THE FOOD: Shrimp Dish: - We ordered the Honey Sriracha Shrimp dish with the vegetables from the Kung Lao Shrimp dish. The shrimp dish tasted amazing. It was a little bit spicy at times but it was delicious. Of the two dishes we ordered, this was my boyfriends favourite. It came with about 5 shrimp (I know I sometimes wonder how many I'll get since some places don't put enough in). All over we were really happy with this dish. Signature Orange Chicken: I absolutely loved this dish. I actually had not had orange chicken in years because it is not gluten free when we go to other restaurants. This dish was phenomenal. It had the perfect amount of crunch and sweetness to bring back childhood memories of eating this at home with my family growing up. We wish we ordered another dish to review since the food was so good. We will definitely order 3 dishes next time. The two bowls we ordered were definitely enough food for two people. On one of the dishes we ordered the jasmine fried rice and on the other we ordered the jasmine rice. I preferred the Jasmine fried rice and my boyfriend preferred the jasmine rice. You might like one or the other. I definitely recommend you try both to figure out your favourite for your second order. Will we return? Absolutely! read more

How does this place have such good reviews? We ordered 2 "recommended" dishes, and they were awful. The kung pao chicken was greasy and overly sweet, even for Americanized Chinese food. But the Chinese chicken salad was so much worse. It didn't look appetizing, was bland, and had a chemical tasting dressing that smelled like Mr Clean. We ate maybe 1/4 of our food and threw the rest away. The people were nice, but it looks like this spot either has fake reviews or has been taken over by new management that is running an Indian restaurant out of the same location. Their naan was OK, but the chai masala is worth skipping as it tasted like black tea with milk and not actual chai. read more

Food: 3 Stars Service: 3 Stars Ambience: 4 Stars Fill Factor: Satisfied I saw this place open a while back but never bothered to give it a try until recently after seeing some good reviews from others. After entering the restaurant I noticed that they have two cash registers which was a bit confusing as the cashier was taking orders from one end then came to the other and took orders there as well. The menu and instructions are on monitors just above the kitchen and you can follow step by step to add the ingredients to your bowl or wrap. I ended up going with the honey sriracha shrimp bowl with vegetable fried rice, spicy pickled cucumbers, toasted sesame seeds and chili paste. Overall the food was not bad. There were a lot of veggies in the vegetable fried rice, the pickled cucumbers were good and the various sauces they used were tasty. The shrimp was a bit tough though and the fried rice did not taste like the usual fried rice at other Chinese restaurants for some reason. The staff were friendly and my food was ready fairly quickly. The restaurant itself was bright and clean and was fairly spacious with a lot of seating. The one weird thing I noticed were the smaller tables were a bit low compared to the seats. I felt like I was hunched over when I was eating my food so it was a bit uncomfortable. All in all it was not a bad experience. The food seems promising as the sauces were tasty so next time I will probably try something other than the shrimp. If you are looking for some food in the area and did not want to head to Chinatown then this is not a bad option. read more

Wow What a nice Surprise Chin Chin is running thru the 6ix with their fresh, gluten free, dairy free, local and vegan and halal food!!! first came across this brand when I was stationed up in Vegas for a couple of months really nice to have it in my home town. For all you healthy conscience foodie ppl that want some nice eye candy photos for your Instagram, drop by here for a new food experience in the 6ix city. This location is different from their Las Vegas location, as per the name of the restaurant "Street Side" it's more gear towards getting your food "On the Go" in a quick tick in a TDOT minute. During their grand opening they had $5 bowls so there was a huge line due to the great deal and general public curiosity. First off, the staff are very friendly and nice on suggesting what is good to get. Their food and drinks are refreshingly different and they have a lot of options where you probably want to go back and try something different until you find that right meal you like and that can you be your go to meal. I order the General Tso bowl and it reminded me of the times I ate at the vegas location a quick reminder to myself to head back to Las Vegas again to catch some shows. the Quality of the food is fresh and taste really good. Looking forward to have another reason to go to Toronto so I can drop by for a quick bite again. Definitely drop by this place and try the different option meals, for they cater to customers that enjoy Gluten free, diary free, vegan and halal food options. They also have a kids menu so make sure you bring the whole family as well. Hoping to see more locations to pop in the 6ix area very soon to share their culinary taste to the North people. Stay Classy Yelpers read more

Yessss Chin Chin is in Toronto!! Pleasantly surprised to have this brand in Toronto and even more excited that the food is really good! Great things to note: gluten free, vegan/vegetarian options, the place is halal (which doesn't pertain to me, but I know it affects my friends), YOU HAVE CHINESE AMERICAN FOOD IN A BURRITO!! I tried the place twice since they've opened and I have not been disappointed when either going the vegetarian route or getting the General Tso's on top of Jasmine rice with the edamame succotash. I added the roe, spicy pickled cucumbers and spicy mayo. Definitely worth the try and the line moves quite quickly. read more

This place was a hot mess when we came here a couple of days ago. Literally waited for 25 minutes to get our food and we didn't even got our food at the same time. I got mine about 10 minutes before my boyfriend. No apologies that we had to wait for so long for his food. Major turn-off. None of the staff seem to know what was going on and the food line was at a stand still for quite some time since there was only one person cooking. Upside with cooking everything fresh is that it's fresh, but that also means it's going to take some time. Perhaps once they have the flow sorted out, it'll be a lot better. Overall the food was pretty decent but the slow service and pricier price point for the quality and quantity probably won't make this a go-to spot. read more

Chin Chin Street Side Kitchen - Kung Pao Chicken with green beans and eggplant - Chinese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I was visiting some friends in Canada and came across this brand new gem. They had $5 specials for their opening and I had to try it! The line was pretty long but the line moved by fast. You basically start off ordering and building your dish as you move down the line towards the toppings. You can see them physically refreshing the food with new product which was great because it tastes just like it! They have super cute sushi desserts and blue butterfly tea (my fav). I highly recommend this spot for anyone who loves healthy Asian food! read more

Food is good but some health and safety concerns. Raw meat left on the counter without any lid and then right across is the ahi tuna they left without any lid either. I might get very sick tonight, we will see. We got two general tso and 1 poke bowl. The fish is questionable and not very good quality, that set us back $13.88. They give a star shape of a sauce which isn't close to enough for the bowl. TL:TR: Asian place, chipotle style We came here during the grand opening, $5 general tso chicken on jasmine rice, wished I could pick the filler, and two sides with a bunch of extras. Drinks are $2-3, and specialty teas start at $4.88. The desserts are really cute shaped like sushi. read more

Chin Chin Street Side Kitchen - General tso chicken and the poke bowl - Chinese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

3.5/5 Everything was really fresh and the general tso chicken was yummyyy... definitely satisfied my western chinese food craving. I got the spiralized veggies as my base which is prob what went wrong for me. Very healthy but I feel like the raw veggies just didnt really go with the toppings. Or I feel they should sautee the veggies first so they are softer. read more

OMG ! This restaurant is one of the best in town I mean , hats off !! food? Well cooked, not greasy (as many other places) exquisite flavours and generous servings. A delight ! Happy belly guaranteed read more

Meh not impressed, grabbed it one evening cause they were open late and honestly there was no flavor in the whole dish it was very bland....not worth the price I feel and hey maybe I could have ordered the wrong thing but still not a fan.. read more

I was visiting downtown Toronto, and I come across this restaurant! I been hearing about this brand for a while, and have seen all the good reviews. I was excited to try it! And of course not disappointed at all! Everything was super delicious, I ordered the beef ball and you can add wherever you want on it, the balls are so cute! I was very satisfied with it! The staff are very friendly, in side is warm and cozy! I like it. I returned again, and ordered the sushi tuna burrito! Ohh my!!! Mmmm, that one is my favorite by far! I could eat that almost every day! So tasty if you are a sushi lover. I totally recommend this. They have so many great options, specially the gluten free. I love this place and definitely will go back again! The price are reasonable for around there!! read more

Absolutely delicious vegan dish and at an incredible price! Their lunch special costs less than $9 and the portions were very generous (I was surprised by how low the price was - I still wouldn't hesitate to order if it was slightly pricier). The staff was very nice and took the time to walk me through their menu over the phone (I called to ask about vegan options and ordered over the phone because UberEats takes a chunk of their money if ordered through them). We ordered the Mama's Tsao Tofu dish and it didn't disappoint. Good customer service always wins my heart and I highly recommend this place for that reason and all the others stated above. read more

Lots of opportunity here but being a new business (it seems?) They still need to work out their options and food line. I intended to pop in quickly to grab lunch on my way to a meeting. There were only 2 parties in front of me so I didn't think it would be an issue. You can order hot ingredients for the bowl and also add cold ingredients from the bar into the bowl as well. This was really slowing up the process. I saw one person take forever trying to get different things into the bowl which then could not really close. Meanwhile the next dishes on the line were getting really backed up. I ordered a tofu bowl with succotash and chick peas. The bowl came with way too much rice (maybe more than 1/2 the bowl was rice, which became a problem for folks adding lots of toppings). The sauces were very strong. I would rather have the ingredients speak more for themselves but I saw a woman in front of me pester for extra sauce so to each their own. Because of the line I did not add any extra cold ingredients on top. The bowl itself though was very good. Just needs a lot less rice and more efficient ordering style (maybe limit the number of cold ingredients and/or take that info down earlier). Next time: hopefully the timing and ordering gets worked out. read more

Visiting Toronto and was looking for a truly gluten free place for my gal pal when I found this gem! Fantastic selection that is truly gluten free, vegan, halal even!! Staff are very friendly and helpful. Your order comes up super fast. And OMG - the food! You wouldn't think it would be this good!! Definitely will come back here when I'm in Toronto next! Really wish they had a Chin Chin's our west! read more

Chin Chin Street Side Kitchen - Entry to Chin Chin - Chinese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I popped in here after a long day, craving some Kung Pao Chicken. I ordered off Ritual but ended up eating here since the decor was inviting and spacious. The food was 3.5 stars, but rounded up to 4 because I love my western Chinese food. Portions are large and you get to choose so many sides! (2 veggies, 3 toppings). I noticed they forgot to add fried eggplant to my order and the manager whipped a quick batch for me. Without having to go all the way to Chinatown I'm able to satisfy my Chinese food craving. I would return to try the poke, but from other reviews perhaps stick with the wok fried dishes. read more

I had the broccoli beef with stir fried vegetables over brown rice. The "sauce" just seems like soya sauce and lots of it. White rice was provided - not a big deal. $22.58 including a bottle of water. Terrible smoky air, and the place was filthy. This place is awful. read more

Quick food - subway style - pick your base your protein and your toppings. I found the selection good and the staff friendly. This is fast food so expectations should reflect that. read more

Beautiful decor and friendly staff, but the salmon poke bowl I had lacked flavor despite the $16 price tag. Besides the small portion, the rice on the bottom was cold instead of traditionally served warm. I would go back again to try a different dish but will not order the salmon poke bowl. read more

Chin Chin Street Side Kitchen - Salmon poke bowl - Chinese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We arrived around 6:30pm on a Saturday and they did not have sushi rice, general's chicken, or orange chicken ready. It took them quite awhile to prepare everything." So we had a long wait. General's chicken was good. Orange chicken was decent, but not great. The salmon for the poke bowl was only marginal, nothing even close to sushi quality. I'd recommend that you stay away from it. The other toppings you get were pretty good. The biggest negative is the amount of rice they give you, probably about 75% of the bowl, which doesn't leave a lot of room for the meat and other toppings. Quite an expensive meal for so much rice. read more

I ordered the salmon poke bowl. Everything (at least for the poke bowl) is ready-made -- just needed someone to assemble it. For whatever reason, it took way longer for the bowl to be assembled. Upon ordering, the man behind the counter grabbed a tray and my bowl and then disappeared. And there my bowl sat on the counter for a few minutes, empty. He later reappeared and took my bowl to the back to grab the sushi rice. Then, again, my bowl was placed on the tray and again it sat. While the food was good, what's supposed to be a simple concept and quick to-go meal ends up taking way to long to assemble. Also, I was slightly concerned that the salmon and ahi tuna didn't seem fresh. I ended up ordering the salmon because the ahi tuna looked horrid. It was rather dark in colour and looked like it was sitting there for quite some time. And like a previous reviewer did mention, there was no lid for either raw fish. Will I go back? Probably but only because it's so close to me. Do I recommend it? Only if you have no other options nearby. But be prepared to wait for your order even if the entire place is empty and you're the only customer! read more

I've been wanting to try this place since it opened and it was close by. I ordered a rice bowl with general tso chicken, the bowl was good until i noticed that my chicken was NOT cooked and still pink on the inside. I am so glad it was me and not my pregnant cousin that ate it. It wasnt even busy so Im not sure why they would rush cook time. read more

This place is pretty good. They are absolutely not shy with portion size. Ive eaten there 5 times since it opened (a few weeks ago) up and I'm increasingly impressed every time. There is a gentleman (who I think owns it) who greets you at the door every time! I'm a sucker for politeness and customer experience Everything is delicious! Give it a go!! read more

I ordered ahead of time through Ritual and my order was accepted and "ready" for 8:38pm. When I got there, the staff said it would be ready shortly as it was being "packed up". 20 minutes later, and 25 minutes after the "ready" time I asked for an update only to be told they didn't have the ingredients and they'd cancel my order. This means the staff blatantly lied about my order being packed up initially. The biggest regret I have aside from ordering here and wasting an hour of my night, was not giving the staff a piece of my mind. This was an exercise in how not to run a business. read more

Overall a pleasant surprise. Their chicken is juicy and tender for sure. The staff could use some more cooking knowledge - for example eggplant requires more time in the fryer compared to other veggies, or they'll stay rock hard in the centre. They also tend to use a bit too much sauce to my liking, but that's a personally preference so I wouldn't count that against them. read more

Glad to see this place open in Toronto! I was enjoying it in LA. The food is healthy, tasty and good!

This place has potential but it certainly does not deliver. I echo some of the health concerns. They offer vegan on the menu but if you ask for a hot protein (which in this case is tofu) they cook it in the same vat of oil as the meat. So not vegan. Also they clean the wok with water and steel wool between each meal - very quickly. The wad of steel wool sits in pool if dirty water in the stove. So lots of opportunity for cross contamination. Don't come here if you are actually virus or have any type of allergies. Finally I hate when quick serve restaurants ask you for a tip at the cashier. This is clearly a poor mgmt decision. Perhaps they should pay their staff a living wage. Yet another reason to avoid. Won't be coming back here. read more

I can't give them 4 star I am sorry. Despite the fact that the guy works there is super nice and give us a full introduction to the restaurant. Owner is Canadian and a chef himself. The food is Chinese fusion. The rating has to be based on food and though I like the idea of how they manage to be freshly cooked and fast food. The taste of the food could definitely be better. read more

Just had my first experience at Chin Chin, I live upstairs from the restaurant and wanted to try it. The first bad sign was that no body was inside eating, and they had the music blasting like a night club, I cld hardly hear the server explain the menu to me. As far as the food goes it tastes like a microwave dinner that was reheated. Do yourself a favor and walk an extra 10 minutes up Spadina to China Town and get some proper Chinese food, I'll defiantly not be returning. read more

The menu is a bit confusing at first, but the food is very good, bigger portions in a large bowl would make it a better value, it's quite expensive though read more

So fresh, healthy, and delicious! Also everything is gluten free. I had the general tsao chicken bowl with spiral vegetables noodles as the base. They cooked the chicken on the spot and everything in the bowl complimented each other well. Wish they'd open up a spot in Markham! read more

The food is delicious. However, during two weekday lunchtime visits to this location during the pandemic the staff has not been fully compliant with mask wearing requirements. Staff have not been wearing masks fully covering both their nose and chin at all times. The restaurant is called Chin Chin, but the masks must be work chin to nose. read more

I'm so glad they are here in Toronto! I had the general Tso chicken and quinoa fried rice and they are delicious. I'm definitely coming back again for the poke bowl. Great job guys! read more

Messed up our orders and food wasn't that great! I felt bad for the kids working there. It was not well organized.

Great food and amazing service. Always friendly and kind. I love the general tao chicken bowl, however the tuna was amazing too. Great place to get a quick and healthy meal. read more

Traveling to Toronto from LA, Happy to see the Chin Chin brand expanding. I went in even though there was a bit of line, but it moved fast. I was pleasantly surprised to see a bit of a different menu. I usually get the orange chicken when in LA. So went ahead and had the orange chicken bowl and was not disappointed. It was the same great flavor with a slight twist on the ingredients. I hope we this style Chin Chin in LA soon. Until then Enjoy Toronto!!! Yelp On! read more

Best new restaurant in Toronto. Great staff and even better good. We will definitely come back time and time again. 10 stars!

Amazing! I have eaten at the Las Vegas and L.A locations; and I am happy that Chin Chin made it to Toronto. Definitely going to be my spot.

Food and location are excellent. Service was quick although the store was busy. Love the mural in the lobby. My wife and I shared a Poke Bowl and Sushi Burrito, excellent flavour and good amount of protein in each. This will be a regular spot for us! read more
