I'm a San Diego native and i can't believe i have never tried this place!!!! It is absolutely the best Chinese food I have ever had! We tried the Szechwan chicken & the veggie lo mein, both were 5/5! Not to mention the excellent service we had, shout out to Tammy and another server whose name i didn't catch. But seriously, please try this place if you're in the area you won't be disappointed!

Why this place has good reviews is beyond me. Our server was rude and didn't offer any help after we told her it was our first time, she didn't have any suggestions and didn't seem interested in being friendly. Another table got a different server who we could hear was super sweet and helpful. Our bad luck I guess The food was less than mediocre, it was super greesy and not much flavor. Between the two of us we only ordered 2 appetizers, 1 mushroom dish, and one shrimp dish and our bill was $100. We will never come back . What a waste. :(

Won't be going back. Recent reviews have been pretty mixed...good food but poor service. Thought I'd give it a try. All of the negative reviews about them forgetting stuff or getting orders wrong for delivery made me decide to do pickup so I could check the order before leaving the restaurant, which I did and the order was completely correct.My first concern came when my order was ready. I ordered at 5:16pm, and the text confirmation stated that my order would be ready between 5:40-5:45pm, which seemed very reasonable. However, at 5:24 I got a text saying that my order was ready for pickup. So, they cooked all of the meat, seasoned everything, got it all boxed up and ready for pickup in 8 minutes flat? No way. The only way my food was ready for pickup in only 8 minutes is if the food was all prepared in advance and was just sitting around. There's a name for that kind of food, it's called "fast food" and there's another fast food Chinese place nearby and I don't go there. After eating the food, it is clear that it is fast food and everything had been prepared well in advance.We got:-Hot and Sour Soup: Not hot and not sour. Very bland. Would definitely not recommend.-Ku Ting Crispy Chicken: Chicken was hard and tough. It had clearly been cooked some time earlier and was sitting out likely for hours. Very bad.-Moo Shi Pork: Very good. Pancakes were good (often very hard at some places), portion of moo shoo was okay. Vegetables and pork were good.-Walnut Shrimp: The shrimp texture was good despite having been cooked long ago and just sitting around. Good walnut shrimp is made with a reasonably small amount of home-made mayonnaise; unfortunately, Chin's Szechwan uses what seems to be big-box low-quality mayo and slathers it on. Had to wipe down the shrimp before we could eat them. The walnuts, however, were very good.Here's the thing, if I'm paying $20-$25 per entre, I expect that the food will be made when I order it so that it is fresh, hot, and with good texture. If I want pre-cooked, tough, greasy Chinese food, I can get that for a lot less money at the fast-food Chinese chain nearby. The food at Chin's Szechwan was truly no better than at the fast food Chinese chain, so I don't understand why anyone eats here.

Nice little place in the Del Mar downtown. Very friendly service and they give you won ton crisps and sweet and sour sauce to snack on while you wait which I love. Overall it is what you expect for a little sit down Chinese joint. I didn't eat anything that would blow me away but I don't eat anything bad. The veggies were nice and crisp in our meals and the portions were good. Leftovers heated up well too! I would go again but I wouldn't drive 2 hours to eat there.

Great food and ambience but the server constantly nagged and hovered over us which was kinda frustrating while having good conversation with friends. Next time we'll do a take out!

Be careful if you do GrubHub with this restaurant. I received all my food, and I checked the box to provide napkins, silverware, and plates. When the order arrived, and I got to my room, there was no napkins, Civil War or plates. I was not happy because when you were on vacation and you spend over $120 for your dinner and then need to play MacGyver to make your meal enjoyable. This restaurant needs to pay more attention to details and not be so concerned on volume.

This place was amazing! The ambiance was so cute, super intimate my first impression walking in was already off to a great start. The servers were quick and very friendly and attentive. They checked on us multiple times and were patient with taking our orders. The food came out and was absolutely delicious! Every dish was perfect. Good quality, good portions. There was enough to take home leftovers. I would highly recommend this place and plan on coming back here with my family. Also, the plum wine is soooo good!! You have to try it! I wanted to buy a whole bottle and take it home.

We have finally found our go-to spot for Chinese takeout.. and we are obsessed! Chin's Szechwan has several locations throughout the San Diego area just in case this Del Mar location is not convenient - Locations also include La Jolla, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista, Encinitas, and Rancho Bernardo. I have only ordered at Chin's through delivery so unfortunately I can not speak to the service received if you should dine in. With that being said, each time I've ordered, the delivery is timely (and oftentimes delivered before the esteemed time of arrival), and the food has been delivered hot and exactly as ordered. Food wise - Everything is amazing and you are sure to find something to satisfy every craving! Here's a little breakdown of some of my faves: - Appetizers: Pot Stickers {Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings w/ a Special Sauce and a Homemade Chili Sauce served over Green Cabbage - My Favorite - I could eat a million of these} / Egg Rolls {Wonton Dough filled with Veggies and crisped to Perfection, served with a Sweet & Sour Sauce and a Hot Mustard} - Rice & Noodles: Lo Mein Soft Noodles {Wok-tossed Noodles with Onions, Mixed Veggies, Bean Sprouts & your choice of Meat} / Fried Rice {Wok-Seared Rice with Peas, Carrots, Green Onions, Eggs & your choice of Meat} - I typically do not add Meat to these dishes and stick with just Veggies - Entrees {your choice of meat - Chicken, Pork, a Fish Filet or Shrimp}: Spicy Honey & Sesame Orange Chicken {Lightly battered in a sweet yet savory Sauce with Chili Peppers and Sesame Seeds} / Beef with Broccoli with Brown Sauce {One of my Faves - Beef sautéed with Mushrooms, Snow Peas and Broccoli in the Chef's Special Brown Sauce, Served with White or Brown Rice} / Sweet & Sour {Lightly battered Meat in a Sweet and Sour Sauce with Green Peppers, Onion and Pineapple}. All dishes can be made to the level of spiciness that you desire and the portion sizes are large enough for leftovers {and trust me, you are going to want leftovers the next day}. Hopefully y'all enjoy this place as much as I do and have also found your new favorite takeout place!

I think Chin's is a fine spot to go for American Chinese. Personally, I'd rather go to Convoy and experience more authentic flavors at a better price but sometimes Chins hits the spot. Overall, I enjoyed the potstickers to start off with and the mongolian beef, as well as the sichuan chicken. Overall, I'd be willing to give Chin's another try and change up what I order.
