Chin's Place - Pretty garden space out back with a picnic table. - Chinese Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!! I loved Chin's for years! I have not been there in 3+ years and I just ordered a general tso's chicken and it was not okay... soggy and runny, container full of liquid. Bitter flavor with no sweetness... sad to write this review because this place was epically great years ago.... i'm definitely hoping this was just a fluke....... And to follow up I just looked in the bag and didn't get the red sweet-and-sour sauce that I paid extra money for....dang read more

Chin's Place - Extremely soggy chicken swimming in bitter juice - Chinese Near Me - Akron, Ohio

I found a place here in Akron that got real fried rice with sprouts and brown colored. Not yellow or orange lol. I ordered shrimp fried rice with egg. It was very good. I also got egg roll, cream wontons and general Tso. I pass on all of it. Wasn't bad but wasn't the best. I will only go here to order my fried rice. Ooo.... Pricing is high! read more

Always quality food. The best green beans EVAR! Fresh ingredients and delicious family recipes. Stand up member of the community as well.

Ordered a combo pork fried rice with egg and spring rolls as take out. The woman who took my order was very friendly and seemed to know other customers who were picking up their orders. I waited 15 minutes which is a little faster than I expected. The pork was tender and had a good umami flavor with the fried rice and veggies. Very much comfort food. The rolls were crunchy and satisfying. Can't wait to work my way through the menu read more

It was delivered perfectly. Food was delicious and hot. The portions were great and we had a wonderful New Year's dinner. Thank you

Someone recommended me this place as the best Chinese food in Akron and i was not disappointed. Everything is soooo fresh. I think i noticed a garden in the backyard for fresh produce, but i couldn't be sure. The vegetable lo mein is sooooo good and full of flavor. I will be back to try more dishes read more

Love their spicy rice noodle beef soup!! So delicious I always want this soup when it's cold if I'm not feeling well. read more

Chin's Place - menus on the wall - Chinese Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Love the people love the food. I always pick up. Not sure if they serve in the restaurant.

I've struggled to find good Chinese here in Akron (I've been spoiled by big coastal cities), and one common issue is burned food. The service was fine and to the point. I wish the restaurant was actually open and not just carry out. It's super cramped to wait. read more

Very fresh and tasty., especially the house special soup, like none other that I've had anywhere, including Hong Kong.

My partner has insisted for a long time that Chin's is the best Chinese in the Akron area. He used to live just around the block, but now we live in Cuyahoga Falls, and in the 4 years we've been here, I've been pretty disappointed by every place we've tried (except for Sushia Asia Gourmet, which has a great Sichuan menu). Chin's appears to be more Cantonese style; while there is a dining room, it is has apparently been closed since COVID. We had a couple drinks at Frank's Place and placed our order. 15 minutes later, it was hot and ready. My car smelled so good that my mouth was watering. He ordered the Cantonese chicken, which was good but kind of basic. My stir fried chicken and veggies in ginger sauce were better--and the veggies were so fresh and crisp. You may have noticed, but there's a garden behind the restaurant, and they grow a lot of their own produce. The star of the night was the veggie Egg Foo Young, which I'd never tried before. I saw photos of it online and had to try it. Wow. Egg Foo Young: where have you been all my life? I feel like I'm going to have a new food hyperfixation because this was absolutely delicious and fresh, and I've never had anything like it before. It was a very thin, very crispy omelet with veggies folded in, and then it was covered with a flavorful brown gravy. There are so many other things I want to try, and I can confidently say that my partner was right. It was worth the drive, and our food stayed warm even after a pit stop for beer on the way home. Our meal at Chin's was a reminder of just how good Chinese food can be when it's just not chicken nuggets covered in a sweet sauce. read more

Delicious food. Ordered the orange chicken for takeout. Short wait. No indoor dining when I ordered on 5/01/21 while other establishments and bars in the area had indoor dining. read more

Best Asian food in northeast Ohio. Fast and friendly service and reasonably priced. I just wish that they would open dining room. At the present its carry out only. read more

Head chins for the first time today. House soup was fantastic, colorful, and light with chinese vegetables and baby shimp. Beef with Ginger dish was tasty albeit a bit salty. My friend raved about his general tso. Service was good except for the somewhat obnoxious banter from one or possibly two of the crew in the back. First experience, was good so will be returning. Recommend to those looking for homemade Chinese food. read more

After reading all of the decent reviews on here, I decided to give this place a try...especially because being half Cantonese I'm always looking for good/authentic Cantonese. Well, this place did not make me happy. I'm not sure what everyone is raving about, the food is terrible. We ordered beef ho fun, shrimp lo mein, and steamed dumplings. SALT and non authentic Cantonese is what we received. The food was so salty! This place is no different than any other Americanized Chinese Take Out, if you think it's authentic then you've never had authentic food. The dumplings barely had any stuffing and were uncooked, the dough was tough and disgusting. Why can't AKRON have just one authentic Chinese restaurant? Why do I always have to go to Cleveland? Won't be coming back here...ever. read more

Best food in Akron Only place I'll get Chinese Thank u.. everything is good! Really enjoy it. They deliver in a small area but worth the trip. Very fresh and never had a bad experience read more

Food was bland. I heard good things about this place but it wasn't what I expected. The egg rolls were so oily!Better to call and get a description of what you're wanting maybe that would have helped. Best part of my meal was the fortune cookie. :( read more

Chin's Place - Chicken and broccoli. Tasted like boiled chicken. - Chinese Near Me - Akron, Ohio

This is my favorite Cantonese restaurant I've ever been to. The food is amazing and fresh. The owner uses ingredients from her own gardens and locally sourced often! The owner is one of the best people I know. She cares about everyone. She makes her food with love, and I wish more places did that. It means a lot to someone who needs a warm meal and a friendly face. read more

Fast, affordable and consistently good food. What more can you ask for. I haven't had a mela I dislike.

The food here is terrible. I honestly do not understand the positive reviews. You all misguided me! :/ The ONLY positives about this place is the service and the cheese crab wontons - they were maybe THE best I've ever had! Bad signs: 1. Immediately after sitting down, they gave us a bowl of crispy noodles like from a bag. 2. Zero Asian people The dumplings were mushy and inedible. The rice was clearly bad quality rice - Jasmine rice is where it's at! Did I come on an off day?? On a what is supposed to be busy Saturday night? Very disappointing. Don't not go. read more

Staple of Akron - hard pressed to find better Cantonese in the state. Thankful this place exists and will be a customer as long as I'm in the northeast Ohio area. read more

Chin's Place is certainly unassuming, but don't count them out. Prior to COVID they had a small dining room. Post covid have offered takeout and such. I consider Chins place to be the best in akron. This is a family business that offers delicious food at a fair price. read more

This was the most sorry excuse for Chinese food I've ever had. I ordered chicken and broccoli and it consisted of boiled chicken, boiled broccoli and carrots in a clear slimy soup. It had zero seasoning, and zero flavor. It was so disgusting I wouldn't even feed it to my dog. I have no idea how they have 4 star reviews. I am so grossed out I can't even put it into words. read more

Chin's Place is like your high school prom date. On the outside, it looks like a complete dump. But it's the inside that counts, and the inside is delicious. Not Jeffery Dahmer delicious... that's only in Bath. Anyways, get the sesame chicken and the general. Both are top notch. Great service! read more

2013 Update Spicy Beef Egg Rolls - OMG... not to be missed! We go at least once a month... sometimes with a restaurant dot com discount and other times full price. Still love the fresh veggies and love that they are already getting the garden ready for another year. Love the cashew chicken... orange beef is really crispy and spicy... fried dumplings are a comfort food favorite. There are take out specials listed by the door and a pretty steady line of walk in folks ordering take out. If you love veggies... and a great wait staff... it's still a great place to have lunch or dinner. read more

I love their Kung Pao chicken! Great tasting food, that is consistent and high quality. I love Chin's Place for a Tuesday night meal when I don't feel like cooking or want to spend a lot of money. They always come through! read more

The best Chinese restaurant in the Akron area! Not the same as most, the food has more complex flavors and cooked fresh to order. Moo shu pork is my favorite! The hot and sour soup is great with a unique flavor! read more

My favorite Chinese food in town. My family loves it, even my picky 4 yo daughter likes it. We've tried half a dozen of the entrees and liked each one. General Tso's chicken is our favorite. The portion sizes are generous. We usually have leftovers. And the price is very reasonable. read more

Love them and the food is great ! You won't be disappointed! They are also an Akron staple !

The cutest little Chinese place. They have a garden in the back where they grow their produce. The orange chicken and crab cheese wontons were great. Overall, a great experience and just a cute atmosphere. Menu was big and had great lunch specials. Everyone speaks perfect English and is very helpful with the menu. read more

I was in Akron for a work conference and stopped by this restaurant as I read lots of good reviews about this restaurant. It was a small and clean restaurant as any other Chinese restaurant. I walked in around 12:30 pm, the receptionist was really nice and welcomed me. I got seated right the way as it wasn't that busy. The waitress was really nice and polite. She brought out a small dish of fried noodles which were chips for me to snack on. I got my water really quick. Then she took my order. I got the lunch special: General Tsao's chicken/ Cantonese chicken with fried rice, I also ordered a pork egg roll. The lunch special was about $5.50, I added the egg roll and fried rice for an extra $1.50. That price was really decent in my opinion. The pork egg roll and General Tsao's chicken were good; they weren't like super good. The fried rice was really good and flavorful. I would recommend this place to everybody. read more

The actual restaurant looks pretty sketchy and unclean but the food is actually SO good! I got teriyaki chicken and fried rice and it's the best I've gotten.... & I go to a lot of Chinese restaurants! Would recommend read more

Family owned and ran, always fresh food here at Chins. We have been eating here for years and never had a bad experience. Best Chinese food in Akron by far. read more

Yay, Chinese food! I'm talking about the Americanized version of Chinese food... General Tso's, shrimp fried rice, sweet and sour chicken... you get the picture. So I'm rating this place in relation to other restaurants in this same, very specific, well-known genre. Two things that make Chin's stand out amongst the other greasy, salty, syrupy establishments of it's kind: (1) the quality-to-price ratio, and (2) the fresh vegetable garden. The prices are great for the quality. Go across the street to the other plaza (I forget the name of the place) and you will get lower quality food for the same price. Go just a little further down the road to the Platinum Dragon and you will likewise find lower quality (and more suspect) food for your buck. When possible, Chin's Place grows and uses its own vegetables from their garden! I first read about this from another review-based site when I was looking up the phone number and I thought "naw... can't be". But sure enough, if you know to look... the large vegetable garden is visible from the parking lot. At the right times in the year, you can tell the veggies in your little paper carton covered in brown sauce are fresh and homegrown. Year-round, I notice their dishes are packed with veggies. My only problem with Chin's has been that sometimes I can't get ahold of them during business hours. I'd imagine it's a family-run place, and it is so small-- surely there are times they are either not able to man the phones or close during their regular hours. I've never eaten inside. Though certainly not luxurious by any means, it does seem a little nicer than the other two Chinese places in the immediate area. I think I'll order some tonight! read more

As a foodie, we can't always dine at the 4-5 star resteraunts, and are always searching for that "Diamond in the Rough"- That is what we live for! Chins is that little Gem. In a land of hundreds of Chinese reseraunts and the dreaded "Buffet", Chins is a small unassuming hole in the wall, that just prepares good food! The wait staff is freindly and attentive, the guests mostly regulars which gave it that "Cheers" feel. I was pleasently supprised to find out after I told the server how I enjoyed the soup,that each bowel at Chins is made to order. Give it a try- you won't be dissipointed! JAG read more

This was absolutely the WORST CHINESE FOOD I have ever had in my entire life! Terrible, terrible, terrible!!! I'm Asian and LOVE Chinese food, but I've never had Chinese food that tastes sooooo bad like theirs before. My husband and I ordered steamed dumplings, hot-and-sour soup, and two meat entrees. The dumpling's starch skin was way toooooooo thick (more than you can imagine) to taste its filling. When I took a bite, all I could taste was the thick skin. I couldn't believe I paid $5 for the starch skin. Hot and sour soup had blackish color and tasted real bad. It was an absolute horror. My husband and I will never go back there! read more

Steven is an incredibly attentive waiter, without a doubt knows the menu 100%. Elaine cares about the customers & her quality of food. This place is delicious, & we gladly drive from Cuyahoga Falls to pick it up & take home, or dine in, at least once a week. Their home grown vegetables make the vegan dishes more delicious than anyone else. read more

Awesome awesome awesome. Very fast and friendly workers, nice environment, daily specials.... EXTREMELY FILLING!!!!! Great food, not miles ahead of the competitors in terms of food quality, but it's definitely delicious. Overall, no complaints at all. P.S. - Very affordable. Large meal with huge helping of Orange Chicken, Fried Rice, and a giant egg roll for $6.50. WOW. read more

It was 9:30 P.M. on a Wednesday. That gave me two choices Subway (the McDonald's for Vegans) or another place that is open past 9 P.M. Thankfully for Help From Yelp (HFL) we located an Asian restaurant not to far off our path. We were returning home after a visit to a potential foster to adopt (we run a Non-profit Animal companion Rescue Storm's Angels). Sadly the only place near our fosters home was a pizza place that contained dairy. It was in the dough. Dairy was even in the pizza sauce. One other bar was a type I had never been to. At first when parking my son said it looked like it had a skating rink inside. When I went in to ask for a menu I was shocked. There was a "rink" but it was more like a corral for humans to work on their line-dancing (uh). We went on our way. Using HFY to find food on our trip home we settled on Chin's Place. Yelp had their webpage. Chin's Webpage had a menu. On the cover page was a green stamp stating many selections of Vegan and Vegetarian items. A worker there had friends who were Vegan. She stated that we could order just about anything to be Vegan. That they would work with us. That was most excellent. We ordered 3 orders of fries, 2 sesame Tofu, and 4 General Tso's. The General Tso's was okay, the Sesame Tofu was my favorite. I will order that next time. The whole ordering process and having our food was about twenty minutes. Thank you. -Omeed read more
