Class ends at 10pm, which, inconveniently enough, is the exact time that my favorite Chinese place closes. As I sadly drove on by, I saw a beacon of hope in neon form shining from Chin's, which doesn't close until 10:30pm! Stellar! Only, when I walked in at 10:20pm, they were already closing up shop and the only thing available to me was the soup. Fair enough. It was late and I was hungry. Unfortunately, I wasn't hungry enough. The wonton soup was not my thing at all. It was a little spicy and just so not my style. I guess the late hour didn't help, what with stale crunchies and all. Unwilling to be deterred by a single cup of soup, I vowed to try again and I did. Last Friday, I slogged through traffic and sleet, drove past my usual spot and sidled up to the counter to order an actual meal (to take home, because this place is pretty much carry out only). So, wisely, I skipped the soup and ordered the sesame chicken dinner platter (fried rice and egg roll included) along with a side of shrimp toast. The shrimp toast comes as an order of two, which was a little disappointing, but they tasted okay. The sesame chicken was terrific, but the fried rice left much to be desired, while the eggroll was KILLER!! Oh, and when I asked for extra duck sauce, I got a fistful of the stuff. Zero complaints there, and everyone was so friendly! I would like to say I'd eat at Chin's again, but I'm not sure.... my spot is just so my spot, you know? Quite a few people came in and ordered wings while I was there, so maybe this is where its at for wings! read more

I've lived near here for 3 years and always order Chinese food from this restaurant for a few reasons. 1) They allow online ordering and payment, including tip. So, I never have to worry about having cash tip when the driver arrives. 2) They are fast. 3) They are VERY nice. They just made an order in my takeout and I called to let them know. She apologized and sent her husband to my house with the correct food and let me keep the other food. Great customer service! 4) The food tastes great. I've had quite a few items and they were all good. The chicken doesn't have nasty gristle, etc. when I bite into it (a huge pet peeve of me). I will continue to give them business. read more

Coming from NY I am picky about what you would consider good Chinese food. However, Chin's Kitchen delivers very quick, has very polite/friendly employees, and food is great. So far I have tried the beef on a stick, beef lo mein (I order without vegetables), shrimp lo mein, fried chicken wings, and general tso's chicken. All of it was very good. My only MINOR criticism is the first time I ordered the noodles from wonton soup were SLIGHTLY overcooked and too soft. Other than that, everything was great the two times I ordered. read more

Inedible. For serious. We ordered enough Chinese food to last for days: pu pu platter, cheese wontons, wonton soup, hot & sour soup, spring rolls, beef with broccoli, chicken with garlic sauce, chicken with almonds. Let me put it this way, edible things: spring rolls, beef with broccoli, perhaps soup. Everything else went into the garbage after one bite. All things in the pu pu platter and generally fried were so dry and tough that you couldn't chew them. Chicken with almonds was in no way related to almond chicken and tasted like NOTHING. Chicken with garlic sauce had no flavor except burning. Beef with broccoli was edible, but not good. Spring rolls were decent, but it's pretty hard to eff those up. I'm very angry that I wasted so much money on disgusting food that went straight into the trash. read more

Even during a time like this there is nothing better than a nice hot plate of food from here. Literally enjoyed every single bite without a doubt. When they say 10 minutes then they mean 10 minutes. COVID friendly and will recommend whoever is looking for a new place! read more

Woohoo! As good as it gets! We've only ever ordered delivery, but it's never disappointed, and we actually got a free duplicate order of rice. Boneless chicken is actually a cantonese dise called hong-su chicken, or something. Details unimportant. It's chinese delivery and it's delicious. Did you know it's hard to translate chinese into english using just our little english alphabet? It is, now you know. read more

Is this the best Chinese food I've ever had? No. Will it change your life? Absolutely not. However, it is extremely solid delivery. Everything we've ordered has been good - and we order at least twice a month. The online ordering is super convenient. Food is always delivered within 30 minutes and is piping hot. My husband loves the white meat chicken options, as he is extremely picky about meat. If you live in the delivery zone, I would highly recommend Chin's Kitchen the next time your craving quality delivery. read more

Huge shout out for their customer service; tonight my family enjoyed our first meal from this restaurant. I ordered it for pickup and brought it home. Twenty minutes into the meal there was a knock at the door, we thought it was a trick-or-treater, but it was a delivery guy from the restaurant bringing us a sauce they forgot to pack in our order. How awesome is that? Food-wise they are better than average for a takeout Chinese joint. Noticed that their food seemed less-salty than other similar restaurants, which is a huge plus. Especially enjoyed the orange chicken. Will definitely be back when the craving for quick, enjoyable, reasonably priced Chinese food strikes again! read more

We found this by chance on a late evening when so many other establishments were closed. We were pleasantly surprised by the food. It was very flavorful and in good-sized portions. It is a take -out only place but service is quick. read more

Great Menu! My husband and I went here on a whim. They are walking distance so we thought why not. So glad we did! The menu is fantastic- there are items I have not seen elsewhere. I am a huge fan of noodles and any place that does Singapore Rice Noodle well is worth it. They also have Lo Mein that was new to me. Curry Lo Mein? O yes! So good! I am looking forward to going back to try more of their menu. read more

Its a good place for take out when your spouse isn't home to shame you for eating the entire pu-pu platter alone or make you share the crab ragoon! Its local to me and I love that they are fact, accurate and on the money when they say 30 min, they mean 30 minutes to your door! I cant say i ever crave anything from them but I love the service, the accuracy and the price for what i get and that goes a long way in my book! Thanks Chins's! read more

As far as Chinese carry-out/delivery joints are concerned, Chin's is pretty darn good. I order through Yelp, which means it's quick and easy to order and it's already paid for when I get there. I've only had to wait once, and only for about a minute. I've ordered a few things (beef with broccoli, chicken lo mein, spring rolls, etc...) and each time the food's been hot, fresh and with recognizable vegetables and meat in it. It's not very greasy, at least in terms of Chinese carry-out normally. The prices are fair and you get a good amount of food. I'm glad this is my local carry-out option! read more

If you are in their delivery zone, this is your go to place for cheap, fast, good Chinese food with shockingly large portions. We order the TVP "chicken" (Textured Vegetable Protein) frequently because they do it right, so delicious. They are always fast, and we live in a weird neighborhood where it's hard to get in and find the right place so it's always a pleasant surprise. Note - The food here is NOT weirdly sweet - I find that most of the Chinese delivery around here is so weird with almost sugary food and that is so gross. Give them a try, we're fans. read more

This place is awesome and I can't believe that someone had such a big issue with their order that they threw all of their food away. The owners are so friendly and will ALWAYS fix your order if they make a mistake. I once ordered delivery and they forgot our soda but came back and gave us extras & egg rolls. The Singapore rice noodles are delicious, their Szechuan chicken is great - love the carrots & celery in the dish, my partner loves the hot & sour soup & their coupons for free stuff are a great deal & will even throw it in if you call them if you can't order online. Also, the food isn't salty & they can pretty take out any ingredient you don't like in your food. Love this place & love the friendly employees that work there!!! read more

This was our go-to for Chinese delivery. Delivery was quick, the delivery guys were always very polite and nice, the price was very affordable. The food was always piping hot, anything that was supposed to be crispy was still crispy, and I did not have a bad experience. We usually ordered the crab cream cheese rangoon, sesame or general tso's chicken, and the stir fried green beans. Make sure to check if your order qualifies for their special bonus free items! read more

My girlfriend and I LOVE Chin's kitchen, because they provide options for vegetarians that you don't find at most take-out places. They have good TVP options for meals in addition to the tofu/veggie section. The food is always delicious, delivery is fast, and the staff is friendly. read more

This is the best bang for your buck chinese place in my opinion. The staff there is super friendly and the service is prompt.

Either they're under new management or they just redid their menu because subs are off the menu in spite of the fact that they still have a big fake neon sign that says "SUBS." They're selling textured vegetable protein instead, so if that's how you roll, they can set you up. Five wings & French fries are still hot and crispy and whole wings, not pieces. Mambo sauce skews closer to BBQ, but still, not bad at all, and they're open at 10:30am every day unlike the lazy jokers who open at noon. read more

This is the best Chinese take-out in the neighborhood. The food is always fresh and hot and the owners are really friendly when I pick up my food. Today, I tried their delivery service (I ordered directly from my Yelp app) for the first time and it was at our door in less than 20 minutes, exactly as ordered. The sweet and sour chicken is good because they're the only place I know that adds fresh green pepper and pineapple chunks in the dish. They also have the tastiest fried rice around. Definitely best for fast food/take-out/delivery Chinese food! read more

Solid takeout staple. Quickly prepared, friendly staff., good food. It's a plus that the fried rice/etc isn't seasoned as over-the-top sodium bombs. That said, a lot of this is personal preference; it's definitely worth doing a taste test comparison between this and the other Chinese place down the street. I was a reliable Chin's customer until I did, and then I switched to New China Taste... feel a bit bad because Chin's was always solid, but I prefer their seasoning style more. read more

I usually don't like to write reviews but this place has come a long way. They delivered my food on time, everything was still hot....my family enjoyed it as well. The mumbo sauce they give you....it's huge!! My fries usually come in all soggy and warm....not chins kitchen it was still hot and crunchy on the outside but soft in the inside. This place impressed me!!!! read more

Chin‘s Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

See all

General tso's chicken was okay as was the wonton soup. The egg rolls were not very good. The service is great and they are very friendly.

The best Chinese Food in Alexandria. I love their Chinese Food. When I used to live in Lantern Place, I used to order for a delivery from that place. I love their sesame chicken and chicken wings. They are always friendly and it was in the convenient location. =) read more

Been here a couple of times. Food is generally nice, done quickly and consistently done well. I really like their Egg Food young lunch is 2 patties dinner is 3. Not overly greasy and the gravy is pretty standard. read more

Great variety of food and quite tasty too =) They are always so friendly and FAST delivery, they always say 45 min but never takes more than 15-20 FANTABULOUS XD and thier crab rangoon is pretty good and thier Kung Pao is VERY NOMABLE read more

Chins Kitchen is probably one of my favorite Resturants ever I eat it almost everyday for dinner because that's the only thing I can really afford read more

Food was bland but I guess you can spice it up with soy sauce. I don't think we'll be ordering from this place again. The food delivery was fast and the delivery person was nice but asked for a tip right off the bat. read more

Orange chicken is barely even orange , rice was kinda dry. The mambo sauce is horrible (it's basically barbecue sauce) fries tasted like it was the last fries they had at the bottom of the bag smh read more

My grandparents actually found this place in the late 60's when they moved into the area. Our family has been ordering there food ever since then. In my oppinion, best in the area. You could try Bamboo Garden or Easterns Carry Out right up the street, but trust me, you'll be dissapointed. Take it from a college student that has become a take out guru :) read more

Just tried this for the first time ... The fried rice was really good and the sweet and sour chicken was good. We got some spring rolls that had too much cabbage and not much else. Probably would order from this place again but would skip the spring rolls next time. read more

Exactly what I want from a delivery restaurant! The food is good, the prices are reasonable and the delivery is quick. Is it as great as eating at a nice Chinese restaurant? No, but when I want hoo food brought right to my house, this is my go-to place. read more

We always order delivery at work. I really like the orange chicken and the portions are pretty good size

Just moved out here recently, and this is my go to spot for good Chinese food. Thumbs up

General Tso's was really good. Kung pao chicken was alright. Also ordered hot n sour soup. Delicious!! I love the online ordering feature, that's what attracted me to this restaurant. Prices are very reasonable as even lunch portions are incredibly generous. Delivery guy was fast, food was still hot n yummy. Would order from again! read more

This is my go-to place for Chinese food! Now I'm not one with the widest array of taste in Chinese but I do love my crab Rangoon and they have some great stuff! Also anyone who I've bought for from Chin's has said how good it is, which includes fried rice, pad Thai and beef and broccoli. So if your in the delivery area, get chin's, you won't be disappointed! read more

We recently ordered from here. My wife had the kung pao chicken and I had the the beef hunan style. We also ordered a combination lo mein. All the food was bland. The beef hunan style was ordered extra spicy. It was not spicy at all. The order included a free egg roll order. The egg rolls were pretty good. But that's about all that was great tasting. The delivery guy was nice but I don't think we'll be ordering from here again read more

It was just ok. I was so hungry and this was the only spot open. There was just something about the sesame chicken that was just strange, maybe they added alot of ginger or something. I also ordered the shrimp toast and it was super thin. I was like what happened?? The spring roll was just fried lettuce. They received the 2 stars cuz they were opened!! read more

My delivery order was wrong. And I found a pice of plastic in my hot and sour soup. I ordered beef and broccoli and they sent me beef Szechwan or something and there were only a few tiny pieces of beef in it. My coupon for free egg rolls was also ignored. I ended up throwing everything away. 30 bucks wasted. read more

My boyfriend and I order from Chin's all the time and I honestly can not say enough good things about them. The owner is a joy to speak to, she is incredibly friendly and the prices are extremely reasonable and (as mentioned before) the portions are fantastic. I am personally not sure why anyone would rate this place negatively, unless the expectations for Chinese take out are unrealistic. PS: After seeing some of those who posted negative reviews before me, it appears they only use Yelp to post negative reviews, so I would consider their validity in reviewing Chins before deciding to try it or not. read more

My first delivery from Chin's was wonderful.The only negative is the hot and sour soup was warm so I just reheated that. The soup was tasty, the spring roll fresh and delicious. I had the pork egg foo young which is the best I have ever had. Even the rice was good, sticky and moist. So tasty with the gravy and pork. The portions are large with plenty to share or for leftovers. I ordered through grubhub which I like because it keeps you updated on your order status. You pay online including the tip so there is no need for cash. Highly recommend them! read more
