It is so sad this place closed! It was our favorite place to eat. The food was always excellent. The atmosphere was so comfortable! Just sad to see it go. I hope they find a new place to set up business soon. Great news...Chinshan is now open again and is as good as ever! Welcome back! read more

Great food and service. Would highly recommend when looking for chinese food in Abq area. Prices are very reasonable for large amounts of food. read more

Yum! Portions are really big bc it's family style so be aware, we went a little overboard. Tasty. Not too salty, open/airy. I'll be back, there were so many good dishes it was hard to choose!! read more

Our favorite Chinese Restaurant! Great food and excellent service... Generous portions! Try it you'll like it! Kirk, Shelley and Clayton read more

Best Chinese food in Albuquerque! Great service! Super clean restaurant! Lemon chicken and orange chicken best ever. One person in our party does not eat MSG and was able to order chicken vegetables with no MSG which was delicious. read more

Excellent well prepared food! VERY reasonably priced and a popular restaurant among those that know good Chinese food. Had the garlic chicken and it came with soup, eggroll, egg friend rice, and the garlic chicken....wife got the same and bill was $15.02!! Unbelievable! Weekday menu 7 days a week, no change on weekends! read more

Finally, a decent place for Chinese food on the NE side of town! I'm not saying it's the best I've ever had, but by ABQ standards for Chinese food, it was good and fresh. read more

I work down the street from their new location. One day me and my boss decided to try it out for lunch. We called in our order and it was very easy and smooth! I showed up and picking up the food was smooth and fast. Now to get into the food. I ordered the orange chicken during a lunch time pricing (otherwise I think the dinner price is a little overpriced) the seasoning was okay, the chicken was a bit dry and there was too much heat compared to the other seasonings. We also got an appetizer sampler and everything was fairly decent except the rips (I know strange) but they were bland and very dry. read more

Fresh, flavorful and quick...Chinshan has the best green bean chicken lunch deal in ABQ! I've only had lunch at Chinshan, but what I've had has been consistently hot, fresh, and well seasoned. Lunch deal comes with good egg drop (2nd best in ABQ), light fried rice with sparse veggies and egg, small vegetable egg roll and a solid portion of the entree. Customer service is slightly cold, but efficient and friendlier with frequent visits. read more

Another update. Great meat but poor sauces. 3.5 would be my review. If your looking for a great place try Fan Tang.

My new favorite Chinese restaurant. On Wyoming in the parking lot of the super Walmart. The food is outstanding. Small very clean family run Chinese restaurant. The best general Taos chicken that I have had. And I have been to Chinatown in New York San Francisco and Philadelphia. They really know what they're doing. They're hot and sour soup was spicier than most but I enjoyed it. read more

Customer service was exceptional. And the food was terrific! Extra Spicy Orange & Kung Pao Chicken was delivered hot and fresh! Egg Roll was on point, and the price was fair...definitely coming back! read more

I have eaten here for about 3 years now. Its next door to work. Its decent enough food and reasonably priced. But sometimes they can be very rude. They told me today that they saw me calling (3 times to place an order)but she was to busy for me. (4 tables and a waitress) I asked to upgrade my combo to pork fried rice instead of egg and she said no. I explained i wanted to pay for it, she said.no again! Lol. They seem to take the regulars for granted. I don't think i will be going back. read more

This place is better then seven or so of the other locally owned restaurants in Albuquerque with the same menu we've tried in the last year or so. Portions in the smaller side but with good cuts of meat on the positive side. Taste was a bit bland but within reason. Asked for no heat so maybe that's why. Sweet pungent chicken was decent, appetizers were good and shrimp in garlic sauce was tasty. Wasn't wowed by any stretch but it was a good meal. I always ask myself, if I could have made it better and because I'm not a good Asian cook probably not. May be back to try other dishes again in the future. It's been hard to find a good dependable Chinese restaurant for us. We've tried them all from the top twenty list and Fan Tang seems to win for us. read more

Visiting ABQ and I was craving Chinese. Per the good reviews, we decided to come here for dinner and it was delicious. We had the hot & sour soup, egg rolls, orange chicken, and egg fried rice. I wish I had taken pictures of our meal, but it was so good that I didn't think about it. I definitely recommend this place and if we lived here, I would visit again. You won't be disappointed! read more

I had the seafood udon noodle bowl here. It was okay, definitely very Chinese in flavor profile, and stuffed with bok choy and imitation crab as befits the price point. The place is sparse but clean. A good option if you're craving authentic Chinese food in the area. (Note for those of you who're picky about the region: They're Cantonese.) read more

Some of the best Chinese food we've had in years. Portions generous; each easily serves 2-3 people. My husband ordered the sweet and sour pork, I ordered the veggie lo mein. We shared each dish with plenty leftover to take home. Pork was crispy on outside, tender and juicy on inside. Lo mein was just as fresh. White rice perfectly cooked. Service attentive. Highly, highly recommend. This is a place we will come often! read more

This place is always yummy. The cook was in fire tonight because all the dishes were savory and you could taste the difference in seasoning from dish to dish. B read more

Terrible experience! I ordered $60 worth of food and the lady threw a fit that I asked for chop sticks and soy sauce. They also put our carry out order in a box, which normally would be fine but we had a combination of soups and entrees and the soup was not supported so it spilled everywhere by the time we got home. The wonton soup noodles were awful and almost disintegrated to mush with a very oily soup broth. The sweet and sour chicken was soggy and the lo mein had no sauce on it. I have to say the Kung pau chicken was very good with the perfect amount of heat! If I ever ate here again I would dine in! read more

The best Chinese food I've had in a long time! We enjoyed a family style dinner with my parents, aunt, uncle and cousins when I was home for the holidays. Everything was delicious and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Clearly every dish that we had (7 dishes plus soup, appetizers, etc) was made fresh with fresh ingredients, nothing frozen or re-warmed as you find more often than not. You can definitely tell the difference. None of those thick gelatinous sauces you sometimes find that just taste like nothing. The dishes were all very flavorful and tasted like the best Chinese HOME cooking - not like some generic chain restaurant. REAL food! Even with a big hungry family we couldn't finish it all, even with as delicious as it was - the rest was taken home and surely lasted several more meals. It was very quiet there, which was lovely, but they deserve to have many more customers. Highly, highly recommended. They also have the BEST hot and sour soup I've ever had. (p.s. I'm New York based and have pretty high standards, as we have so many great restaurants to choose from here. If this restaurant was in my neighborhood I would eat Chinese food much more frequently!) read more

I only signed up for yelp just so I could rate this restaurant. By far one of the best Chinese food restaurants in the country. I lived quite a few places and I think this is the one of the best American style Chinese. They don't short change your veggies nor meat. Everything is cooked perfectly, not undercooked. I personally don't like saucy Chinese food, and this place has just the right amount of sauce. Veggies are always fresh looking and tasting. The owners/waiters are always on top of everything. Give it a try if you want some great tasting Chinese food. read more

Placed my call in order @ 7pm and was told to pick up in 15min but when I showed up, I had to wait 20 more minutes! THEN was told they don't have anymore egg drop soup, so I advised him to cancel my part of the order as I mix my fried rice and crab rangoons with the egg drop soup (I know, gross but SOOO tasty). When I told him this, he seemed to feel bad and went to the back to ask if they could make more,.....bad idea! I don't speak the language but it did sound very angry. Fine, I didn't want Chinese food anyway I guess but when we got home and my wife started eating her $30 meal,...the crispy chicken was soo soggy and slimy, it shot across my dinner table (white table cloth, not happy). The rice was worse,....I swear it had anise in it, I can not stand that stuff. I would rather eat spaghetti noodles in rotten soy with a side of fork in my eye then give them my money EVER again! read more

Great food, very affordable and clean. The owners are very friendly and the lunch specials are delicious

On a whim, we decided we wanted Chinese food on a Saturday afternoon. The service was quick and the food was top notch. I had the General Tso Chicken and Chicken Fried Rice. Everything tasted fresh and the rice was perfect. Highly recommend. We will be back here! read more

Just had dinner here tonight for the first time in over a year and it was just as amazing as I remember, the salt and pepper shrimp is a go too dish! Our waiter was great and Extremely patient with our party's indecisiveness, we ended up sampling several dishes and sharing and not one complaint!!! We will be back without a doubt and soon!!! read more

We actually like this place.food are decent. We like shaky beef special and singapor noodle. Clean looking restaurant. If you are visiting and want the traditional chowmein, they dont call it chowmein here, it is under a different catagory. Ask them. Otherwise we will definitely come back when we are in the state. read more

My husband like Chinshan better than I did. The food was tasty, but the chicken was a bit chewy (undercooked?). The hot and sour soup was ok. Service is good. read more

This is one of the best restaurants in Albuquerque hands down! If you haven't tried it you are seriously missing out! Everything is so very fresh and delicious! read more

I am so happy to find Chinshan Restaurant again! I love their food because it is not so overly sweet like many Chinese restaurants in town. If you need an adjustment to the usual recipe, just ask. The ingredients are fresh and the food arrives hot at your table. The entrees arrive "family style" so the generous portions can be shared. Chinshan is definitely my favorite Chinese restaurant! read more

After reading some reviews on yelp I decided to try this place. The restaurant is very clean and has a calm, quiet atmosphere (maybe a little too quiet). The service was good and our food was delivered quickly. I had the Kung Pao chicken which was really good. A word of advice: the portions are huge! I am a big eater and this place was a challenge to finish the whole plate. Will be back. read more

Chinshan is a hit with high quality Chinese food that is a little different (in a good way) than your typical Chinese food restaurants. I have a hard time lumping Chinshan in with your typical Chinese restaurants. While they do serve your sweet and sour chicken, orange chicken etc to me the food is a little more refined than most. You don't get a lot of greasy food here even with the fried dishes. The food is cooked hot and fresh and doesn't seem to me to be cooked from frozen. Sauces are not overly sweet (so if you like a really sweet sauce this place may not be for you) and you enjoy the actual food more than just tasting an overpowering sauce. To me the food here is closer to what you would get in China versus the more Americanized version seen here in other restaurants. The hot and sour soup is one of the best that I have had. Like most places you can't beat their lunch combo that comes with soup, egg roll, rice and entree. While a smaller entree portion than some restaurants I have never left here feeing hungry. If you are looking to fill a Chinese food craving with food taken to the next level this is the place to be. read more

This place is amazing! Fresh vegetables, the prices aren't bad. The staff is very friendly. Everything was deliciously seasoned and cooked to perfection. I strongly recommend this place! read more

The best Chinese food I've had in Albuquerque! Sizzling Soup is amazingly good! Clean place, friendly staff & great food! Price is reasonable too. We will be back again and again. read more

Price was a little high you do get a good amount of food the lunch special is the best time to go unfortunately for me I like my food little spicy the orange chicken did not have that much flavor as well as spice for my taste read more

3 stars, it's average. I don't have much luck finding good chinese food on the westside. The food was a small notch above some of the boring chinese places on the westside ABQ. I did notice that it tasted fresh, but lacked some flavor. The leftovers tasted better because they had time to sit in their juices overnight. Service was ok, nice people who work there. I'll probably go back but maybe after a few months to see if anything changes. read more

So I found this restaurant on accident actually. We were looking for the restaurant called Chows and we couldn't find it so we saw this down the road and decided to go. When I entered I thought it looked like a really good restaurant and I was really excited. We sat down and looking at the menu I thought it was a little unprofessional. Several things were crossed out in sharpie and the prices were too so some of the menu was hard to follow and it was a little ambiguous. After we decided what we wanted (which was the couples dinner A) we wanted 2 orders of sesame chicken. Our waitress proceeded to be very rude and critique our order. She was questioning why we got 2 of the same thing and then told us not to. I was very insulted that she thought it was her place to pass judgement on our order. I'm sure she had good intentions and was just trying to make our dining experience better, but I still thought that she didn't need to do that. All of this being said, the food was all really good. I just didn't really think the service was ok. read more

See all

Excellent food. I can always tell with the first spoonful of soup how it's going to go and the hot and sour soup was about the best I've ever tasted. Everything was very fresh and very good. We finished with a pot of jasmine tea which is often tepid and flat at other restaurants. Their tea was piping hot and fragrant. Dessert was yummy. read more

Damn Chinshan I came here blown away, I though it was about to be some BS Chinese like PF Chang's but lemme tell y'all something this place is pretty damn good,I order the Orange chicken and the serving size was HUGE and the taste absolutely AMAZING ,I 100% recommend but you don't have to believe me go check it out. read more

I had to wait a week before writing this review because i didn't want to remember the horrible food and Overwhelming disgust. My iced tea tasted like soap. My food tasted like...well,i don't know...but it wasnt anything i wanted to put in my mouth. However!!! My bf liked his food and would eat there again if someone else was paying. read more

I've been coming here since I could remember... has never let me down. They are so nice and the food is amazing for a reasonable price. Highly recommend! read more
