Solid, un-dramatic Chinese cooking.

Chalin's Restaurant Restaurant Review: This location of Chalin's (one of two, and formerly Charlie Chiang’s) is cut in the mold of traditional Chinese-American eateries, with safe (that is, not too exotic) and familiar dishes that include such standards as crispy sesame chicken, lamb with spring onions, and orange beef.
