1985 Called and Wants its Chinese Food Back
In many ways, Chin Chin is still stuck in the 1980's, when it opened. The food is pretty good even though it is not a recognizable Chinese cuisine. The staff turns over a lot and sometimes is a little indifferent or slow. Over the last 10 years, it has tried to remake itself twice but has returned to something like it used to be in the late 1980's and early 1990's. Stick with the dim sum and the Chinese chicken salad--the old dependable iconic items on the menu.
Good Food, Bad Service
I had been to Chin Chin many times and the food is generally good.
However, on more than one occasion, their service has been poor.
One time, we called to reserve space for a big group. Despite making the arrangements ahead of time, they had us wait for 40 minutes before we walked out since we had already wasted almost our entire lunch. The host was pretty rude about our impatience. That was the primary reason we walked out.
A waiter(?) chased us down trying to bribe us back in with free drinks but by that time our lunch was over anyway. :-(

Does not even deserve a star - very poor service

Used to go and there was quick and courteous service; recently the service was horrible - very slow and unhelpful - waited more than 40 minutes for meal and then found out the order had not been put in until late. Instead of correcting the mistake and rushing the order - it stayed in line of all the others.
Cons

A group of us used to go to Chin Chin in Marnia del Rey before it closed down. If I think about it, I can start craving their pot stickers and peanut noodles. Now, we get catering from the West Hollywood restaurant. (Just as good!)

Chin Chin has great reasonably priced dim sum and chinese food. I think this location has a grill specialty. They have great Chinese chicken salads, noodles and spring rolls.
