Reviews for Chin's Szechwan - Encinitas in Oceanside, CA

I've been coming to Chin's for years. Great food! My only problem is that every time I go to order, the prices have increased... again...Fried rice for $17.00??? The prices have gotten insane. I think I'm gonna have to find a new favorite for that reason. Read more

Delicious Chinese food, good Sichuan spice. This is flavorful food, but Chinese seeking authentic food may find it too... Americanized. They explain the menu very well and point out tips for enjoying the lunch menu. I will come here again and again.Service was excellent. Friendly staff, good prices. Food came fast. We ate everything on the plate. Get the spicy beef. Read more

I used to come here as a kid with my family for special occasions and as a young adult on my first date with my hubby (then... boyfriend). Recently, I came with mom for lunch after many, many years, and it was still the same (in a good way). Theatmosphere is dark and moody and slightly sophisticated (maybe). To me, the decor is classic and brings nostalgia. Their foodis consistently good, cooked well, and flavorful. I've ordered a shrimp dish and the eggplant dish (my favorite vegetable).They've never disappointed me. I'd recommend this place all day every day. Read more

What a find! With so many options for Chinese food out there, it was wonderful to find a place with great food, excellent... service, and a good atmosphere. Portions were ample and fairly priced. The menu had something for everyone, ranging from thetraditional, to the not often found. We started with hand made pot stickers and moved on to tangerine chicken, Schezwan beef,and pork fried rice. The flavors were amazing. Even my picky 8-year-old was impressed. Then we tried the pepper beef and thehouse special Pao Hu pork (pictured). The beef, served on a sizzling hot platter, was tender and delicious. The Pao Hu pork,which we were told is not found elsewhere, was this wonderful blend of crispy but soft pork and peanuts. My wife doesn't likepeanuts but could not get enough of this dish. The staff was attentive and friendly. I can't wait to be back in the area and trysome more dishes (fortunately we have leftovers). I highly recommend. Read more

This place was HIGHLY recommended by a neighbor of a friend, and WOW WOW WOW - super glad we made the time to explore this venue... because everything was really delicious here! We ordered: eggplant in Szechuan sauce, honey walnut shrimp, fried rice, chickencorn soup, Mongolian beef, and General Tso's chicken. Every dish was really spectacular and we just really enjoyed the qualityof the food, the ambiance, and the super personable waiter who served us. This is a MUST STOP for Oceanside eats! Read more

We enjoyed the sweet and sour. It's very unfortunate that we couldn't our San Diego gift card there and the manager is very... strict with the closing time. We literary got "kicked out". Read more

Consistently great food, over the last 4 years we've lived in this area. Servers are soft-spoken, attentive & polite. Sweet &... Sour Pork is one of my favorites here. Pork chunks, coated in an orange sauce are crispy on the outside, & succulent & juicyinside. Pineapple chunks, thinly-sliced, flower-shaped carrots, sliced green bell peppers & onions complete this tasty dish. Another here we love, is Chicken Chop Suey- tender thinly-sliced white meat chicken, broccoli, bok choy, zucchini, pea pods,mushrooms & cabbage, swimming in a delicious white sauce. Read more
