Shrimp Toast
Vivian T.

Randomly chose to have Chin Chin for dinner. Our server Cam gave us a complete rundown of the menu and suggested us what to order since their new exec chef took over. Portions are all family style. We ordered Dan Dan Noodles, Sweet Honey Chicken, Chicken Salad, Chili Wontons and Shrimp Toast. My favorite item here was the Chili Garlic Wontons and Shrimp Toast! Highly recommend those appetizers! The chili wontons are probably the best I've had compared to other Chinese restaurants. I'd skip the salad but it was light! Service was great and I absolutely enjoyed my experience dining here.

Orange Chicken

This is an ambient place for Chinese/Asian cuisine located in West Hollywood! Made a reservation for dinner for my mom's birthday party and we were seated immediately, on a table with the lazy Susan. Our host, manager, and server Julissa were very attentive and helpful. For appetizers we ordered the garlic chili crisp wontons and chin chins famous Chinese chicken salad. The wontons were juicy and had a good flavor, I would say they're not the super star item on the menu but great for groups because it comes with 10 pieces We frequent the Chin Chin in Las Vegas so we always get the Chinese chicken salad. It was easy to split between 5 people and we asked for extra wontons and rice crunchies to give it that extra texture and kick. Cant go wrong with this and definitely a staple every time we come here! For our mains we ordered the honey walnut shrimp, orange chicken, eggplant tofu, yangs fried rice, green beans, and Mongolian beef. For the honey walnut shrimp I'll say the sauce was light (not heavy) and portion overall is smaller compared to other restaurants I frequent, I'm happy to have tried it but will stick to other items on the menu. Mongolian beef had incredible flavor and will be something I would like to order every single time I go here My family loves the orange chicken and it has great flavor and sauce profile. Very popular with my group. Yangs fried rice comes with pork and shrimp and had no soy sauce. A good dish to entertain the crowd and use for carbs with the mains. Eggplant tofu was good- but I prefer a specific type of texture that wasn't accomplished at this restaurant. But great veggie option for vegetarians and those that want extra vegetables in their meals. Green beans were perfect- loved the garlicky sauce it came with and could eat the whole plate! For dessert my mom got the churros that came with raspberry sauce, chocolate, and caramel sauce. 10/10 so warm crunchy and the sauces were a nice touch This is definitely a go to place for family dinners, luncheons. I've only ever gone in large groups and enjoyed the dinner here. Thanks for a great birthday experience for my family!

One last ride in the Sunset plaza closing next week had to visit them one last time again another wonderful meal at a wonderful location you'll be missed chin chin sunset plaza

The fabulous Chin Chin Chinese Chicken salad (this is a 1/2 order). Delicious.

Chin Chin recently announced that this iconic location is closing soon, at the end of July 2025. For all practical purposes, this famous Los Angeles restaurant invented the classic Chinese Chicken Salad, or at the very least made it famous. Some sources say it was Sylvia Wu who created this dish at her long gone restaurant Madame Wu's Garden in Santa Monica for her friend, the actor Cary Grant, in the 1960s or 70s. But no one does a Chinese Chicken Salad like Chin Chin. They have perfected the light and tangy salad dressing (there's nothing like it) and have been making this version since 1983; it's still the best. The restaurant currently has plans to close this Sunset Plaza location in late July and I'll miss it as it has been here for several decades. Lots of free, easy parking in back, nice unpretentious ambiance on the outside patio, heat lamps on cold days and nights with great people and car watching as it's right on Sunset Boulevard. Comfy indoor seating as well. I find the service always to be excellent and they've really upped their game; the food really is as fresh and good as it used to be! They have always made very good dim sum (try the Szechuan Dumplings that come with a savory cilantro sauce) and the menu has grown quite varied and substantial over the years. The lunch specials are an especially good value. I'm currently obsessed with their version of General Tso's chicken. It's really good!

Night market noodles
alexandra k.

I was craving green beans and noodles and felt that the Night Market noodles and Szechuan green beans would hit the spot, but unfortunately these missed the mark. Szechuan is known for its bold flavors and spicy kick, and the green beans were neither of these. They were overall undersalted. They were cooked al dente (with a bite) which I liked, and had a decent garlic flavor. The Night Market noodles also lacked rhe spicy the description claimed and without it, there was nothing to counter balance the sweetness. The vegetables were fresh, and I liked the addition of cilantro and the added texture of crispy shallots and garlic. I wanted to like it, but was unimpressed.

Garlic Chili Crisp Wontons
Monica S.

While visiting WeHo, friend was craving dim sum but after striking out multiple times, we ended up here. We did not need a reservation for weekday dinner time. We got the garlic chili crisp wontons, bbq spare ribs, lo mein, crispy spicy honey chicken. I think my favorite dish was the spicy honey chicken and the crispy wontons. Bbq spare ribs were a bit hard to eat. I wish I had gotten the fried rice instead of the lo mein- wasn't as flavorful as I would've wanted. Service was nice. Bill came out to about $160.

Chin Chin Chinese Chicken Salad
Sofya P.

Bf was craving their Chinese chicken salad so we had to visit before this location closed. Not going to lie, haven't been back for 20 years probably. Service was great. Shrimp toast was an interesting app, I enjoyed it. He enjoyed his Chinese chicken salad the most. Good Dan Dan noodle but didn't realize it came with ground meat so had to send it back as I don't eat meat. It was fine without meat, not the best Dan Dan.

I found chin chin to be very average in all ways. We went on a weekday night and the place was pretty empty we found street parking out front. The service at chin chin was very mediocre and average. Our server had pretty bland service and sometimes smack the dishes onto the table not sure why. The place is ok looking and was empty inside as people people choose to sit out on the patio. We did order a lot of things but none of the food was anything special. Some items were better than other but pretty much everything across the board was not great but not horrible. Things I recommend: Garlic Chili Crisp Wontons General TSO Chicken With Chicken Breast Crispy Spicy Honey Shrimp Peanut Noodles With Shrimp (This was the best thing we ate) You Can Skip: Szechuan Dumplings Chinese Chicken Salad Mongolian Style Beef Fried Rice Wanted to try the shrimp toast but they were out of it. Most of the food was very average and not sure we would give it another try as the service and food were both mediocre.

Lo Mein
Lisa G.

I used to visit this location often many years ago and it brings back great memories but nothing like the memories of how good the food is. It's probably mine and my kids' favorite restaurant ever. We used to always share the Chin Chin Chinese Chicken Salad and the dumplings when they were little. Today I brought a new family member since we were visiting Hollywood and she enjoyed it as much as I hoped she would. We came for lunch and was able to sit outside. The weather was perfect with a beautiful view. I have never received anything except superb service including this visit and the food was as good as I remember. I will not wait so long to come back next time.

The spread

It's been two years since I've been to this location. I came here around Covid and fell in love with their fried rice. Simple but delicious. But todayyyy, today was even better. Our server Nectaly recommended the dumplings and let me tell you! 11/10! It was so juicy and flavorful. Maybe my favorite thing on the menu. Even though it's an appetizer. I added some chili oil and bam! It was delicious! I asked for more recommendations and the manager said he loves the Pad Thai, and I can see why. Oh sooo good. My fiancé loves the orange chicken and ribs. We definitely have different cravings, so it worked out. Food portions? VERY GENEROUS. We came on a Sunday- so when we pulled up and seeing how packed it was (1:30), it made us want to dine in. The vibes were top tier. Perfect weather and outdoor seating. My top compliment would be the staff. Everyone was soooo friendly and welcoming. They all were so happy, which means they're being taken good care of. And I love that. The manger Sergio was also so sweet. Great energy and humor.

John M.

FOOD: absolutely delicious! Portion size is too kind. I love the orange chicken and dumplings! Service: 10/10! Everyone is so welcoming and nice. Love all the smiles and energy. Sergio and Nectaly were so good to us. They made the whole experience for me. Ambiance: I love the vibes here. Love the outdoor seating and atmosphere. Highly recommend sitting outside. Enjoy the wind and people watching. Parking: parking in the park. Free Prices: very reasonable. Especially for the location. Bonus * Request for the hot oil- it'll change your life. ;)

Peanut noodles! These were yummy
Sanela S.

The peanut noodles were great; creamy, soft, and chewy! The sauce was savory and if you like peanut sauce, these will definitely be your jam. The edamame was nothing special, but they ask if you want chili oil upon delivery, and it takes it to the next level. The chili oil wasn't really spicy, but very flavorful. The strawberry mint lemonade was also delicious; it wasn't overly sweet and just the right amount of lemon. I didn't taste much of the mint, but it was still very good. The service was pretty fast, and the staff was friendly. I do think the food was a little pricey, but the restaurant was a step above casual, and the ambiance was nice. They also have free parking in the back.

This place is amazing! We found it last minute and it was the best choice we made! Cam, our server was so kind and helpful. He recommended the best dishes

The service was good, and the other food was solid, so it wasn't a bad experience.

It was a little before noon and there was only one party in the whole restaurant. We got seated right away and it was by the front window for everyone to see. The menu had a lot of options and priced like all other places or I'm just getting used to the prices these days. They did have a lunch special for $20 and you can get a small pho, and then some other choices and then a drink. I couldn't tell you what the other choices were because I didn't order it. The waitress was efficient and got the job done. She did get a little overwhelmed since after 1230pm, everyone decided to grab lunch. Here's what we ordered: lunch special with small bowl of beef pho, a beef banh mi and unsweetened black tea. The hubs said that his pho was decent, the flavor was simple and didn't have that deep rich flavoring like other pho bowls he has had. The banh mi had great bread and the filling was pretty flavorful. The black tea was good. I had the build your own pho because I have to have vegetable broth but I added in chicken meatballs and shrimp. The broth was pretty tasteless so I had to add in some hoisin sauce, and sriracha. There were other condiments but I was too lazy to grab it from the other table. That helped out with the soup. The chicken meatballs were questionable as in I wasn't sure if it was chicken. There were plenty of shrimp and they added pieces of chicken. The noodles had a nice chew to them. Overall the pho was okay but it didn't hit the pho craving/spot. We also ordered pork egg rolls and they were interesting. They weren't crunchy at all. It was a bit oily and at one point, I wasn't sure if a part of it was cooked. There was more other filling than meat. The nuoc mam tasted like watered down fish sauce. I guess I was so hungry that I didn't mind it. Overall, the food was just okay. Nothing exciting to report and unfortunately I wouldn't go back.

Their happy hour is one of the better ones I've found, with a great selection of rolls, nigiri, appetizers, and more, mostly ranging from $7-10. Parking is easy too, with plenty of street parking nearby. I sat at the bar, and the service was fantastic. I ordered the chicken karaage, which only comes with three pieces, but they're huge, incredibly crispy, and still juicy inside. I also tried the wagyu taco--it was fresh and flavorful, though the sauce wasn't my favorite, but that's just personal preference. I finished with a salmon hand roll and upgraded to salmon belly for a small upcharge, which was absolutely worth it. For the quality, portions, and prices, I think this beats a lot of other sushi happy hours in the area. I'll definitely be back... although part of me wants to keep this place a secret.

All their weekday lunch specials come with hot & sour soup and an egg roll. I had to get their signature spicy orange chicken which is tangy and perfectly crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's seriously such a great deal with the amount they give you. Even their dim sum items are discounted during lunch too so I got all my favorites like shumai, radish cakes, green onion pancakes, string beans, and even the rainbow xiaolongbao sampler which is basically Russian roulette for you to guess the flavor of each. But the real sleeper on the menu are the sweet & spicy corn ribs. Love the nod to the Asian taste profile, and it's sooo satisfying to eat! Thanks for reading! ^-^

I've been coming here for the past two years, and their quality is stayed consistently high, if not even improving! They also have an amazing cocktail menu (which is more unusual for dim sum spots) and weekday lunch special menu from 12-3 PM, which features select dim sum and traditional Chinese dish combos at VERY affordable prices (all under $20). Honestly, everything I've tried on every visit has been AMAZING, but I highly recommend asking your waiter for recommendations and specials, since I've been able to try so many new dishes that I probably wouldn't have ever ordered.
