A must stop for authentic Chinese food in Windsor, Canada. Just a day before we had the worst dim sum in Cleveland,Ohio, I had very little hope there is good Chinese food anywhere around To be honest, Ming kitchen across the street was closed for private party and we saw Shin Shin Chinese. My husband looked at the sign in the front door, street side that said, "Best Chinese food in Windsor", self proclaimed. In my mind, I thought I would be the judge of that. We entered the restaurant at 2pm, Sunday afternoon, there was no one there. I thought, "oh no," but we just ordered none the less. The owner was so nice. Took our order, and within minutes our food was out! 1. Crispy wonton with cheese, accompanied with a sweet sour sauce. Delish! It was freshly made, crispy, hot, tasty! We expected 2-3 wontons appetizer, the dish came out with 8-9 little yummy wontons. 2. House veggie soup, I believe it was a bone broth, on the house! The owner came out and said they just boiled some veggie soup and offered some for free. I didn't know it would be free until I didn't see it on the bill. Dish after dish arrived and we were delighted. 3. Sichuan boiled fish. Waitress came out to ask how spicy we wanted the dish. Caution, we said little spicy, but that's subjective. I think mild would have been good enough for us, but a little spicy is still delicious. The portion was HUGE. It had a good amount of cabbage, bean sprouts, cucumber, cilantro at the base of the soup and there was so many pieces of very tender fish above. For $16.99, you have this big bowl of yummy fish, perfectly seasoned. We have enough to take away. 4. The ma pao tofu was beautifully plated and simply good. Each tofu cube was soft and the flavor so good. The portions are so big, I had to bring the tofu to go. 5. My son ordered the beef udon and he liked it. I tried it, and it's just ok for me. I still like Japanese style udon more than a pan fried udon. 6. The General Tsao chicken was very good. Again, freshly made and it's not all batter. There is a good amount of chicken in the dish. My husband thought it was the best food he had all week after lots of fine dining in Detroit, eating at Adiamo and Highlands in the GM building. Our family enjoyed Shin Shin's Chinese food. If you want a taste of good Chinese food, don't let the exterior of Shin Shin restaurant deter you from going inside and having a taste. It was delicious and if I am ever in the area, I would definitely go again and highly recommend this place. Oh read more

The food was not traditional or good in any way. The fried rice and the main dishes did not meet any expectations.

Me and my boyfriend came here from the United States and we enjoyed our food so much. We got the sesame chicken and vegetables noodles are they were delicious. We will definitely be back! read more

Shin Shin Chinese Restaurant - table full of food - Chinese Near Me - Windsor, Ontario

We arrived for a late-ish lunch. Only one other table was occupied. The eggplant, calamari and scallion pancake were all very good ... and according to my (Chinese) lunch companion, authentic. The food arrived promptly and was served hot. The service attentive and knowledgeable; and if you want to chat, they are very engaging. The facility is clean and well maintained, but a bit dated ... but not objectionably so. Will I return? Yes! read more

Shin Shin Chinese Restaurant - Eggplant, squid and scallion pancake. - Chinese Near Me - Windsor, Ontario

Oh Shin Shin, we miss you. (we haven't gotten passports yet) Up until our passport laziness, we would visit SS every other month, coinciding our meal with a trip to the Windsor casino (since it is non-smoking and they had nice penny slots to occupy my time). We've culled our food choices down to the ones that we KNOW work. I love their corn egg drop soup - perfect combination of sweet creamed corn and salty egg drop soup. Love. To compliment the soup, we order a fried bun. The outside of this large bread is crispy from frying, but the inside is sweet and yeasty, and pulls apart in strings. We've never seen anything like this. Does not reheat well. Main dishes for us are the Crispy Beef, ordered hot and extra, extra crispy so it's almost the consistency of cornstarch battered bacon. Sweet, spicy sauce is over the top good. (Ken made the mistake of ordering their General's chicken our first time there, because that's one if his fav dishes, but when he saw my dish he said 'What is that??' then gazed longingly at it after I let him try it) Other winners are their Shrimp Egg Foo Yung, with thin egg patties and the shrimp in the gravy on the side (yum!) and the Spicy Green Beans. The sauce on the beans is similar to the Crispy Beef but contains ground meat and green onions, and the beans are still crispy and fresh. (I just drooled) OK, that's it, I'm heading to Walgreens to get my passport pic taken! read more

This place was the best! But during Covid the owners sold it. The new incarnation is ok but inconsistent. We ordered 2 crispy beefs---thinking it was what we used to order....we were hungry so we ate the first order which was completely flavorless. Decided to dig into the second dish ( there were three of us eating) and it was completely different. Still not crispy beef from our memories but it did have flavor-- garlic and subtle ginger! The spicy green beans were good. But we probably won't be making a special trip to Canada for this So sad. read more

Went for lunch. Hot and sour soup was good and hot. My chicken dish was good. Very attentive. Would go back. And very reasonably priced. read more

You have to get a fried bun here. Yummy. Moist, sweet, love the different textures to enjoy, just fabu. I want another one now. I also dove into some hot and sour cabbage salad for me alone, happy sichuan pickle memories. I have not had this dish in years. I almost cried from happiness. The corn egg drop soup here is very good. Sweet, salty, rich. Evil. My husband finally found an egg drop he will eat. The crispy beef was all that Liz R promised and more, we both liked it a lot. Ditto on the spicy green beans, which James could not stop eating. We went out on our own again with some shrimps in the shell with spicy salt, pretty happy stuff. I think you have to know what to order here though, other things I saw did not look as happy as ours. We over-ordered but liked everything we got so we were pleased. Thanks to Liz R I loved this place. Someone needs to get a passport already, hint hint. read more

Was recommended by someone that lives in Windsor. I'm always up to try new restaurants! The parking here is a little hard, as there are a couple spots in the front on the street, and some in the back. The service here was very welcoming, knowing it was our first time there, they recommended some dishes to us. They have some dinner set combos, but it's quite americanized with hot and sour soup, spring rolls...etc. We ordered off the menu, tried their mooshu pork which was recommended, string beans, hot and sour soup, eggplant and ginger beef. We asked for little salt, no msg, little oil. My parents enjoyed the fact that it was what they asked for, they found the dishes not salty, not oily and healthier. The hot and sour soup had a lot of toppings in it, the taste was okay. The string beans were pretty good, had a nice crunch and fair portion. The mooshu pork was really good, came with 6 wraps and some oyster sauce. the wraps are not enough, but eating the remainder with rice was still very good. The eggplant was nice and soft, had a good taste, and saucy. The ginger and onion beef had a lot of ginger and onion. It was very flavourful, but seems to have more ginger and onion than beef. Overall a good experience, but coming from Toronto, I'm spoiled with Chinese food. Bonus: They take vicinity points. $1.00 for 1 point. 100 points = Lunch combo. Very fair and achievable reward. read more

I've had this place marked to try for a while now. Finally made it here and wasn't disappointed. Parking as mentioned isn't that easy since they don't have a parking lot but we were able to find a spot quickly. We were promptly seated and given some water. Our glasses NEVER went empty. I've never had such attentive service. The spring rolls were flavorful and crispy. Excellent flavors. They even had hot mustard dipping sauce for the spring rolls which I have yet to see at any Chinese restaurant in Windsor. It's a staple in the states which I have missed since coming to Canada. We had Szechuan chicken which was spicy but not entirely flavorful. We were thankful for the prompt water refills because of the spice. I wouldn't hesitate to try another dish off their menu. This place will definitely be on my rotation of restaurants I visit. read more

Was a regular here 20 years ago while working in Detroit. Based on the recent reviews, I'm confident my rating is still relevant. Order the green beans!! read more

We have been traveling to Windsor for pst couple years for work. We have tried 5 different Chinese food places but all fell short of our expectations. But now we have a New favourite place in Windsor. Little pricey but it's worth the money this is what we got for 60$ Trust me when I say it was best we have had on road traveling, we travel about 4-5 months a year. Thanks for the Great food. Will be back to dine in next time read more

Shin Shin is as good as Chinese food gets folks! My parents live in Grosse Pointe and have been coming to this establishment since 1982. There is no other Chinese restaurant in Michigan that can even compare! For true Chinese food, you must venture over to Windsor, Canada for this absolute gem of a place. The ownership at Shin-Shin has changed, however, the food and kind people have not! I'm so happy! In the past, Julia, the owner, used to run everything. She even took our order. I can never remember a day where she did not have a smile on her face. She treated my family and I as if we were in her family. The food at Shin Shin is off the hook! I would recommend the garlic chicken, ginger duck, shrimp in dried hot pepper sauce, steamed bun, vegetable low-mein noodles (thick noodles), and hunan beef. Take if from a person that has been coming to this restaurant since he was a young chap...this is the food that you want! The chicken is thinly cut and prepared with aromatic garlic, the duck just melts in your mouth with the combination of celery to accentuate the ginger infused duck, the shrimps are very large and they give a generous portion prepared in a delectable black hot chile sauce that has just the right amount of heat for you to enjoy. Finally, don't forget the vegetable low-mein noodles and sticky bun to compliment your meal and send your taste buds to heaven! I highly recommend Shin Shin if you have not tried it. Believe me, you will not be disappointed! One thing to remember is that the service is not the best as there are usually two people that take the orders and run everything on the front end. However, if you are patient, you are in for an incredible meal! Enjoy! read more

This is the best Szechuan Chinese food in metro Detroit. My family has been coming to Canada solely for this restaurant for decades. Recently, they've been adding sugar to recipes, but are happy to cut it out if you request. This place remains my standard for Szechuan food. Still haven't found better... regionally or anywhere, really. (But I haven't dug into the scene in Cali.) The owner, Julia, is the sweetest lady and her staff is very attentive. read more

Went back for Peking Duck, which must be ordetred 3 days in advance. Very good and the staff was very excited that someone had ordered it but I wish someone there would have told me what to expect. I ordered corn soup and a spring roll to start. Then served the crispy skin as the first course, soooooo good. Served with pancakes and a thick soy type sauce. Then the entree, second course, of duck, they ask how you want it made. I asked for stir fry medium low hot. Their medium low is our medium high but it was very tasty. Then the third course was duck wonton soup, oops to full had to have it put in to go containers. read more

Years later and I am still a faithful customer of this delicious Asian restaurant. The price is very reasonable for how much food they give you. They will accommodate special requests too. read more

I come here several times a year and last night I went with a group of 8. We got great service and Raymond and Calvin were wonderful. The food is fresh and fast. Tell Calvin your name and he will remember it next time you come! read more

This place has great service and they treat you really well. However for an Asian food joint the food quality for the price point makes zero sense. $16 for a chicken entree where rice is extra and most of the entree is onions makes no sense. I've been here three times bc I have Hakka food craving and this is behind my house but I regret it each time. read more

Went on the recommendation of a friend as I was missing the Chinese food I am used to eating in Toronto. Windsor typically has great food and I was hoping I'd hit the hot spot for Chinese with Shin Shin. Never. Again. The meat was flavourless and a very strange colour, everything seemed really bland and overcooked and the decor made me a little sad; think Grandma's dank basement before she remodelled. Normally holes in the walls provide the best ethnic food on earth but Shin Shin is the exception. Do yourself a favour; cut off your tongue instead. read more

Over priced food it was good but our sauce for chicken was like salt broth instead of Gravy no soy sauce in bag when I called to complain about sauce they offered to deliver sauce but we live 15 minutes away we won't be going back read more

I've only had take-out from Shin Shin, but it's always been good. It's a bit more pricey than Jade but absolutely everything I've had was very tasty and my Chinese friends largely consider this their favourite place. I wish I could say more - I will have to make an effort to visit the actual restaurant. read more

The decoration is very nicely done. Because Windsor is a very small city and we don't expect there are many good Chinese restaurants around. We were surprised that the food was quite authentic and well-made. read more

I've been visiting this restaurant once every two years or so since the 1990s. Their quality is very consistent. Their best dishes are dumplings , fried rices, fried noddles and duck. read more

I love this restaurant. I travel to China a lot for my job and enjoy the variety of foods, the flavor and texture. I enjoy coming here because their food is authentic. I have been coming here for 25 years because everything is fresh and fast. Their hospitality and service are over the top. Really a great place to dine in or get Carry-out. If you're in Windsor or Detroit you have to stop here. Outstanding restaurant. read more

Darn good food. Never eat Chinese before other than at a buffet and it was delicious. There were some loud and obnoxious kids sitting in the back and that's all that made this time less enjoyable. read more

Shin Shin Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Windsor, Ontario

Quiet family run restaurant with the best won ton soup in town. The servers are always smiling and somehow make you feel like you are visiting your own family. My go-to standard here is the beef with dried hot pepper sauce, and it has never been anything short of awesome. Previously my favourite was their duck, but for reasons I cannot disparage, you now have to order it 24 hours in advance. I cant say if it is authentic or not, but I have never been disappointed. read more

Been going to Shin Shin for at least 25 yrs and the food has always been excellent . Their MooShu, Crispy Beef, green beans, ShinShin fried rice, chicken & cashew... all the best in the city. read more

Excellent Chinese food in Windsor, affordable and good portions. Everything tastes good John from Windsor read more

I took my wife on our first date to this palace in 1986. I have eaten there well over a hundred time and no I not kidding. You have not had true chinese if you haven't eaten here. I believe Shin Shin means Happy Happy and you will once you have dinner here. The beans WOW, Chicken la orange,the hot and sour cabbage and the list just goes on and on. I will not go to Canadian if I can't go there. As a matter of fact if that place ever close's you might as well close the borders:) read more

This is authentic food and our 1st go to when our Chinese relatives come to town The menu is extensive After reading a few negative reviews I wonder if they just got a bad day We've always been more than happy read more

I have never dined-in at shin shin, so I can only speak to their take-out/delivery. That being said, the food is very tasty. The crispy beef is a must, and is by far the best beef dish I have had in any Chinese restaurant. Very crispy with a unique blend of spices. The "shin shin special fried rice" has great rice flavour and a generous portion of shrimp and chicken. The delivery is prompt and the service is on point. The first Chinese restaurant I call in Windsor. I suggest you do the same. read more

Do not go there!!!!!!!!!! Worst service at this restaurant, no one asking me what I want to drink, also made a wrong order, they just said 'you did not order this?' No apologize for their mistake. read more

I can't say enough good things about Shin Shin! This Chinese food is to die for. My family has been coming here for years and it is the best Chinese in town. Calvin is so personable and welcomes us every time - he always remembers the little things which is really appreciated. We love Shin Shin and can't wait for our next visit. Thank you Calvin & staff. read more

Highly recommend the fried bun, seafood soup and beef noodle soup. Other dishes were also very good, but these were excellent. Service is also fast and super nice! read more

Having not been to windsor in 13 yrs , we decided to go to our favorite restaurant we always go to when in windsor. This time with 3 kids in tow. Wow time has change! Neighborhood has become kind of seedy deserted and overall cleanliness we are use to is gone. As we pulled in about lunch time the lot was empty. This should have given us a clue to leave! We were hungry and just decided to just check it out. There was a time that the lot was always full and we usually park a little distance.Of course as we entered we were the only ones there. I remember this place always full every time we came to visit. Again this should have given us a clue to leave! Well anyway the person there seemed surprised that we were even there! We told the lady that greeted us that we haven't been here in 13 yrs and if there was a change of ownership. She said that the cook actually took over and bought the place. Oh good I thought the quality of the food should probably be the same. Boy was I wrong! We ordered 3 items which was our favorite fish, pan fried noodles and Chinese cabbage. Not one of of them we recognized as the shin shin dish we once new. The amount of the dishes on the plate was so small our 7 yr old could fininish and still be hungry! We were so disappointed. We were looking so forward to the food. The owners we met were very nice. It's just to bad the food is not worth coming back for. Don't think will visit windsor again. Even our favorite bakery is gone also! Definitely 2 thumbs down! Food was bland and over priced.Trip was not a memorable one. Not worth crossing the border for. read more

This place is a great low budget place. New management is afoot in 2013. Some old faces are retired and new ones taking over. I don't know if its the same family or what but they are computerized now. So far so good and I hope they don't change the friendly ways. My favorite waiter in Windsor works here still. Makes you feel like you are in a fine restaurant with his attentive perfectly timed service. Tall, thin Chinese guy with longish hair. Anyway its not 5 star but the prices have always been very affordable while still serving decent food. Some items are better than others. Tried the black bean chicken once and it was all skin and fat. Usually though its pretty good. Best Won ton in Windsor. read more

This restaurant makes up in food for what it lacks in atmosphere. The food was great, service friendly but the decor is very basic and diner-esque. However I would go back because the food was tasty. read more
