Reviews for Chinshan Chinese Restaurant in Albuquerque, NM

Great food served hot and fresh, one of the best choices for NE ABQ. This restaurant is small, so it's close quarters if it's... busy and you're dining in. I think we'll order to pick-up next time. I'm covid conscious, so was s bit uncomfortable. Read more

A step up from typical greasy-spoon Chinese places. The food is quality, prices are very decent considering, the vegetables are... fresh and not overcooked, and it's reliable. A good selection with a little extra to choose from, while including your standardfare as expected from a Chinese restaurant. The atmosphere is very airy with a more 'updated' modern feel. Definitely the bestChinese in Albuquerque that I have tried so far. Read more

Haven't been here since we moved to Rio rancho 2 years ago. Never disappoints! Amazing good quality fresh food!! Worth the 45... minute trip! You can order to pick up but highly recommend eating fresh at the restaurant. Read more

The best Chinese food in Albuquerque! Always tasty and the presentation is amazing. Large chunks of vegetables! And meat.

Great food, fresh, hot. I watched one of the workers hand make their wontons. Cute little place. Great family environment. The... one thing about the place to know is that it takes a hot minute to get your food. Well worth the wait. Read more

Truly amazing restaurant, phenomenal food. Great atmosphere. Hands down the best sit down cuisine I’ve had since moving to... Albuquerque. A must try, perfect for date night and many other occasions. Staff is 10/10, service is 10/10. Cannot think of asingle flaw. True authentic feel to the place. Read more

Fantastic Chinese cuisine, high quality and flavor to rival restaurants in China Town in San Francisco and Philadelphia.

Summary: Best Chinese food in town, $10-15 a plate, friendly service. I went to Chinshan on a pure coincidence, they were the... closest place that was open on a Sunday evening. Me and my friends were trying to decide what to eat on a Sunday evening and Iwanted Chinese. I've never heard of Chinshan from anyone, but they were the close by and open. I can be a little critical ofChinese food, so not having any expectations, I went in thinking it was just going to be a throwaway dinner that satisfies thecraving for Chinese. Good Lord was I in for a surprise! We ordered Salt and Pepper Shrimp, Orange Chicken, Mapo Tofu, and halfof a Roast Duck. (Unfortunately they didn't have the crispy duck available) The Salt and Pepper shrimp was crunchy, perfectlysalted, and had a great flavor from the jalapeño and green onion slices sprinkled on top. I thought the shrimp heads were alittle fishy, but my wife assured me I was wrong. (If you've never had Salt and Pepper shrimp before, it's lightly batteredwhole shrimp that is then deep-fried and seasoned. Once you get your head around eating the skin, the crunch is absolutelyaddicting. Goes great with a brewski.) The Orange Chicken was the best I've had. Chicken was cooked just right, juicy andtender. The batter felt light and very crispy at the same time. Slivers of actual orange in the sauce gave the dish a balancedtangyness that coated the chicken without making the batter soggy. The Roasted Duck was good. I'm not a huge fan of duck(except crispy), but this one was not at all gamey and had a good flavor I would describe as a blend of Hoisin and Chinese fivespice. The Pork Mapo Tofu was my favorite dish of the evening. Good Mapo Tofu has both Sichuan peppercorn and regular pepper.This dish is meant to be spicy and 'numbing' which is something I haven't experienced from other places in town (or state). Tofuwas melt-in-your-mouth soft without losing shape, the pork was minced finely, and the peppers were sprinkled in Read more
