Chin Chin

We have eaten at Chin Chin before and it was very good. However the delivery food that we received was extremely mediocre. The food is extremely expensive and was not any better then any other average Chinese food delivery place. I was extremely surprised at how bad it was. The shrimp were not cleaned. The steak was over cooked. The hot and sour soup was peppery and extremely average in quality. The meal was very average and not great, but was extremely expensive. I would definitely recommend avoiding this place. I was really excited to see Chin Chin on Seamless, but definitely let down after ordering.

Best in NY. Hands down Chin Chin is better than all others. Food is always delicious, and the spare ribs are the best Ive ever had.

After trying Chin Chin twice, and discounting the very steep prices, even by Manhattan standards, I can honestly say that this is probably the worst Chinese food in the city.

Submitted an order at 6:00 for an 8pm delivery. I went to the gym. They called my cell at 6:30 saying my food had arrived. I told them I put the order in for an 8pm delivery. When I left the gym I asked them to deliver a new order at 8pm as I requested. They sent the same food they tried to deliver at 6:30, room temperature and soggy. I will never order from Chin Chin again.

I've order from here a few times and I won't be doing so again. I could not be more unhappy with this place. First off, the food is WAY overpriced and simply not worth it. Second, with an estimated time of 20-45 minutes the food never showed up. Each time we called they said the food just left (meanwhile, we live 4 blocks away). Two hours later they admitted that they lost the order. At least be honest. Bottom line, save yourself the time and money and order from another place. You'll be happy you did.

Tasteless and bland. One star for fast delivery and very nice bottle of Bvlgari-edition San Pellegrino

Unremarkable lo mein for $14.50 is remarkable. Delivery was basically on time (50 minutes).

Messed up my order, no crispy noodles with soup, and food sub-par (steamed dumplings and hot & sour soup)

The best Chinese Food on the Upper East Side. Amazing. Maybe only Shun Lee can hold a candle to it.

Delivery estimate was 45-55 minutes. Food finally came 2 hours later. Food has no flavor. Grand marnier prawns are basically fried shrimp with mayonaise. Sesame chicken tasted like chemicals and burned, fried rice wasn't fried, spare ribs were tough to chew (as if they were old) and chicken lo mein had no chicken in it. $106 later I had to order a pizza. Terrible. Will never order from here again.

The food was ehh more like sub par. It didnt' meet it's hype and price was a little overboard for what we ordered today. We figure you pay a little extra for the quality of the food, something different from your avg local chinese restaurant. We couldn't taste the food, somewhat bland. There's no taste distinction from any other local chinese restaurant in midtown.

Order right after lunch if you want it for dinner. I'm on minute 80 right now after being quoted a delivery time of 15-30 minutes. According to the person who answers the phone, the delivery guy left "5 or 10 minutes ago," which wwas still 60 minutes late.
