Chin Chin Bar Restaurant in North Lanarkshire

Lovely wee gem in Gartcosh. The Mongolian Beef is a real treat. Friendly welcome and great service. ♥️

First time visiting tonight ... food 10...staff 10 atmosphere 10......value for money 10

This is a lovely small Chinese restaurant and takeaway. They have a thorough gluten-free menu, and staff were very informative and helpful. Please attend as food is brilliant but staff also superb

Great food and customer service

I don’t know her name but she helped me and my family book a taxi when we were almost stranded exploring the world 😀😀. Their food however seem to be the best around.

Started going here in 2015 when Chung owned the place. It was the Number 1 Chinese Restaurant in Glasgow then. Certified. Used to be bouncing now it's absolutely dead. Salt & Chilli Haggis balls to start. 3 bouncy balls size, Haggis awful like tinned. Chicken Chow Mein Average. Diet Irn Bru poured from a 2 litre bottle. Young staff just gabbing. Won't be back. Trying to help as a local but they don't listen to feedback. Final strike sadly.

This place makes you feel very welcome. The food is really really good. The staff could not do enough for us service was top notch! We went for my brother birthday came over with the cake we brought gave him a birthday shot and pulled birthday poppers when we finished singing happy birthday.. would definetly go back

Curry sauce was tasteless.. and fried rice was the same. Very disappointed

Went for a midweek meal for our 35year wedding anniversary. Food was excellent and the staff were lovely. Will be back in a few weeks, it was a magical find. Cheers to the Chin Chin staff

Went for the 2 course dinner, waitress didn’t have a clue, she returned a couple of times to confirm a very simple order, then returned repeatedly asking for any further drinks to be ordered, annoying to say the least. Salt and chilli chicken starter was a minimal portion of very salty battered chicken on a bed of salty crispy “stuff”, ribs were nice. Chicken balls in curry sauce were ok, same curry sauce as the one used at home. Chicken in black bean sauce was nice enough. Small portions served. Desserts from main menu were expensive for what was served. Banana fritter was very nice, sticky toffee pudding was not the best and ice cream was purely that. Oddly decorated restaurant with a ram/ goats skull and horns looking down from the cotton wool clouds and lotus blossoms as we ate. Strange. There are better places not to far away from this.

Brilliant, so nice to get gluten free chow mein and chicken balls! Really friendly staff too

Great tasting food and very good service

Second time getting takeaway from here. The fried rice was the lightest and blandest fried rice I have ever had. Curry sauce tasted like a poor pre-mixed sauce which was very watery. I'm not one for wasting food but I couldn't justify eating this food. Disappointed as it was a decent takeaway the first time I had it.

It's a sad day I want crispy chicken and your closed. Still 5 stars but

Very friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. I really enjoyed the food and the prices were reasonable. Plenty of safe street parking too as it's not a congested area

Amazing Restaurant!! Food is insanely good, tastes fresh and full of Flavour! Very resonable prices, the Pre theater Menu and Al Carte menu has a great selection of starters / mains and desserts! The service is also fantastic!! Nothing is too much trouble & you are always greeted with a warm welcome !! THIS IS OUR GO TO PLACE when eating out or ordering a take out, Cant wait to visit again !!

Food was amazing, service was spectacular staff incredibly friendly and happy which made the meal much more enjoyable. Great gluten free and vegetarian options, interior is really cozy 5 stars cannot complain!

Was sooo looking forward to this but highly disappointed. This was a takeaway order and asked for a munchy box. It doesn't say it's a salt and chilli box online, but that was no issue as they said I could have a plain box, no spice - perfect for elderly parents. Then went on to order salt and chilli dishes and Foo King Hot dishes, which had absolutely NO heat in them at all, and everything had a sweet/sour taste to it, which I don't like .... so didn't enjoy my dinner. Plus side - it arrived super quick. Tbh I won't be ordering again - how can a Carolina reaper dish have absolutely NO heat in it at all ...... didn't even reach Jalapeño heat !!!!!!

All I can say is YUCK Got a gluten free meal Fried rice Prawn balls And chick soup cost £ 18 Was absolutely disgusting I had to bin it These guys are meant to chefs What an absolute joke

Just visited for the first time and I will definitely be back. Food was amazing & service was outstanding. Beef Steak curry was out of this world, melt in the mouth. Would highly recommend.

This is the second time I ordered crispy beef online and was given a different beef dish instead. I was really hungry so I went ahead and ate it, but I won't order her again. I don't know if there's something wrong with the app, but they need to sort it.

Portion size has shrunk considerably, I had salt and chilli chicken. Chicken fried rice was quite sloppy and tastless. Prices have increased a lot as well as reduced portion sizes. It's a shame because the food used to be really tasty. Hopefully they will up their game soon. I doubt I'll be ordering again at least until I hear some better reviews.

Food was lovely, could tell it was fresh. Lovely little restaurant,great service from staff. Will definitely be returning.

Great food, Always good consistency. Tad on the more expensive side but definitely a good meal

Worse food about. Highly not recommended 👎🏼 Zero stars for all of us. Owners are still the same. Disgrace.

Great food & service, give it a try!

Worst green curry I've ever had. This place cooks like that hate food and the customers that come in here. Honestly don't know how they're still in business. £70 for two people 🥴

I used to love the food here. I had heard it went downhill since changing owners but i wanted to try for myself. I mean, can it really be that bad!?! Yes! It’s the worst Chinese meal I’ve ever had! I’m not a fussy eaten and it was inedible! Also, prices have gone up a lot and portion sizes have got much smaller! they also don’t give you free prawn crackers. Just a small touch but combined that with poor quality overpriced food, it’s not a great experience.

Great service, excellent food and a great atmosphere. Great value too

Very friendly staff — I had a 2 course set menu & for the price it was great value — thanks very much for such a warm welcome!

Heard good reviews of this place since the owners changed so thought it would give it a go. Glad I did the service was fantastic especially key and Sharmain. Will be returning again soon with the family for a birthday celebration. Food was good much better than the lady time I went. The new owner seems to be putting the effort in and making all the changes that were required. Would recommend.

Food was terrible. Salt and chilli chicken and chips were just plain chicken and chips with crispy onions, no additional flavour, really disappointing. Curry sauce is extremely watery and has very little taste. I’d urge you to avoid and try other local options as this has ruined my Saturday night lol

I used to go to chin chin religiously and never had a bad meal, but the last few times I’ve been the quality has really changed and tonight I was actually bordering on asking for my money back.. £27 got a fried rice chips salt and chilli chicken and curry sauce. Used to go and get the chips in a generous insulated bag meant to keep the heat in and the chips crispy but tonight we had bearly cooked chips in a soggy wee white paper bag they were disgusting. Chicken fried rice tasted of nothing- again rice was just cooked and the salt a chilli chicken was a decent portion but tasted of nothing and was dryer than the Sahara! And for nearly £30 we didn’t even get prawn crackers!! Will not be back.

I saw on Facebook that the restaurant changed hands around 2 weeks ago. Me and my partner went and what an improvement ! Menu hasn’t changed just quality of food has improved drastically. Would highly recommend !

Don’t even bothering ordering on the weekend - food is over priced, tastes bland, low quality, and is always far too dry (rice , chicken etc) Man in charge is rude, never has a smile on his face & has never been accommodating! Only cash - fine if you told me before standing deciding & ordering. Ridiculous I’ve lived in the village for 10+ years and used to love this place - all went down hill after chun sold it on. Would never recommend - such a disappointment compared to what it used to be

Well that was grim. We ordered from the gluten free menu …….. Chicken chow mein, fried rice and curry sauce. The chicken chow mein was so bland. The tiny bits of chicken were tasteless and there were no onions or bean sprouts in with the noodles. The fried rice ….. as per the chow mein. The curry sauce at least tasted of something. Being gluten free is tough but this is our worst experiment yet . £16.50 ! Supper beckons

Looks nothing from the front, but a lovely surprise in the dining area . Lovely food, great friendly staff

Food and staff are very nice have been going for years would highly recommend

Best chinese ive had in a long time. Will definitely be back

Went tonight for dinner with my daughter, we are regular at this restaurant. Lovely staff and food is great, Simon and Key are the perfect hosts .

Great restaurant one of the best. Food excellent. Price reasonable. Staff so lovely and attentive. Definitely be back

Bought a deal for a 2-courser at £20. It was immediately clear we’d have a few supplements. Shared meat spring rolls and salt and chilli ribs which cost an extra £2.50 - given we only got 3 it wasn’t worth the extra and dishes could have been hotter. I had 2 pints of lager at 5.20 each and my wife had a can of Diet Coke at 2.50 so not too bad. We shared mains of sizzling chicken satay (extra £2) and Mongolian beef costing an extra £3. Even the fried rice cost an extra £1. That said, the plates were warm and the food was of a good quality. The biggest disappointment was that a family of 3 came in and were sat right beside us. The restaurant wasn’t busy so there was no need for this and made us feel very uncomfortable. This one thing alone would stop me returning.

The quality of the food for the price is a complete rip-off. The food was so bad and we walked out of there nearly paying £70 for two people. They didn't hardly have any of the drinks listed on the menu and I couldn't believe the cost. Will not be back until something changes there. We need some better quality food here if this is gonna be the only restaurant in town.

Brilliant Chinese and the friendlies staff that can't do enough for you if you like your beers it has one of the finest selections of German beers outside of Glasgow

I bought a Groupon deal for 2 courses for three people. The selection of starters were limited, and more so if you wanted to keep within the price limited . The choice of mains was better. We ordered spring rolls. They were like the bulk bag you get in Iceland etc - made mainly of thick pastry with very little filling. For the main course we all got Kung po chicken. It was nice enough but half was made up of peppers and onions. The portion size was about half a normal portion. Fried rice was £1 extra. A bottle of water was ,£2.50. I wasn't keen on the interior decor - but that's personal taste. The young waitresses were lovely - they done a great job and deserved 5* for their great service. Overall, I'd not go back and wouldn't recommend. Maybe if it wasn't a Groupon deal it would be better

My wife and me order 2 curry’s, 2 fried rice, chips, spare ribs. The Order was £40 which itself bit steep in price compared to what is in the area. The chips and spare ribs where nice. But the 2 curry’s where horrible and for the price we paid even worse and our main meal. Absolutely no flavour at all in the curry’s and the rice, curry’s sause was water no thickness at all just pure watery, with the plain tast of chicken and rice blan. Taste homemade and could of done it myself that bad. Won’t be ordering again way those prices for a curry that doesn’t even taste authentic. Only ordered as usual takeaway one was closed. No wounder we don’t go elsewhere when it’s closed.

Ordered two takeaways a week apart Food was terrible Duck full of fat grizzly parts Then King Prawn curry tasteless Mentioned to staff Who said owner would speak with me Still waiting As I went in a 3 Rd time as my son wanted to order I will not be back and will advise people locally not to use Absolutely shocking customer service

Great food, good portion size (watch getting too big a starter). I couldn't finish my dinner! Staff are lovely, professional and friendly. Will be back. I'd recommend this place.

Excellent restaurant and takeaway 👌

Best curry in this area. Lovely and friendly staff. And love the decor. Was there on a date night with my gf and she absolutely loved it.

First trip here and food was nice, service good but tap water with a splash of cordial extortionate. Popped in early on a Sunday afternoon. Partner had set menu for £12.95 for two courses and I had noodles. Food was nice- maybe slightly overpriced for portion size but service was good. Would have considered going back till we got the bill and saw that we had been charged £5.40 for two glasses of tap water with a splash of cordial. The waitress went to question the manager as I thought it must be a mistake but the manager said it was the correct price.

Visited for a takeaway and ordered a Half Crispy Duck. Compared to 3 other local Chinese takeaways, the portion size was very disappointing for half duck and was over cooked. Also got the mixed starter and also disappointed in portion size for price paid.

Booked my table reservation, stated that it would be a Groupon reservation as was given to me as a gift , reservation was accepted , first time at Chin Chin, cosy & attractive little restaurant, ordered drinks then we got menu , said to waitress who was lovely & attentive that it’s a Groupon set menu , then told we could not use our Groupon deal on this night , I responded that I booked table & stated I was using Groupon deal , but was turned down ! What do you do when you have been seated & ordered drinks - Utterly embarrassing!! Ultimately my other family member had to pay the bill , if this was set nights for Groupon deals then this should have been picked up at when booking the reservation?? !! SHAME as food & service & setting was lovely ☺️

Lovely Chinese never disappointed and fast delivery Thankyou

Lovely restaurant welcoming and friendly staff.food delicious would recommend.

Very nice place , service was spot on as well

Nice place, lovely staff, nice food, definitely recommend

Just started to visit for a carry out over the last couple of weeks .Service was first class and the food was excellent .Would definitely recommend .

Lovely food and very friendly service. Will return.

Awful food - every single thing I ordered was terrible and full of both salt and MSG. The only edible thing was the prawn crackers. The waiter (possibly owner?) was incredibly rude too. Would never return - so disappointing.

Food was excellent and staff were warm and very friendly would go back if it was nearer to where we live

Lovely fresh food, would recommend.

1st visit on a groupon deal. Nice wee resturant. Food was very good, good size portions & piping hot. Wide range of dishes to choose from even on the groupon deal. Drink prices good. Some staff could do with a customer care course (a bit surly) hence 4 stars. Outwith the offer I feel it would be a bit expensive.

Mine and my families absolute favourite Chinese restaurant! We often choose Chin Chin for a birthday/celebration dinner and the food is always superb, prices are very decent (especially when ordering from the set menu), portions are a great size, atmosphere is always friendly and inviting, and above all, the service is always outstanding! Staff are very attentive, warm and friendly. Would give it 6 stars if I could!

You cannot get a better Chinese restaurant for miles. Food absolutely amazing. Staff great, and Simon couldn't do more to make your visit any better, attentive and exemplary host.

Fantastic food great service best Spring rolls ever will definitely return

Gr8 small restaurant with gr8 food selection, the soup is like a meal in its self, and the prawn crackers are the best I have ever tasted.

Received a birthday gift a voucher for a meal , when seated showed a lovely waitress the voucher. She explained what we could have and circled on the menu what we couldn't. At the end the owner/ manager approached and literally ranted at us re Groupon conditions table times showing the voucher etc .The table next to us heard everything it was awful .my partner became upset however he continued to scold us .we have been going here for years and will never be back .As it was a gift there was little information on the voucher however the manager was unwilling and unhelpful terrible experience .

Nice and quiet. Tasty food. Value for money.

Great food and great host. Always enjoy coming back here. Simon and his staff are always attentive and you get great service. Would gladly recommend.

Had a voucher for Xmas and they limited our choice greatly won't be back ,gluten free menu was off as well and never even bothered to ask

I personally love the place but the prices have increased to much for my budget so its a rare treat from now on

Was just what you would expect from a Chinese resturant, friendly staff, chicken curry was nice

Haven’t been in ages we impromptu tonight. We enjoyed a lovely meal, great service, beautiful surroundings. There was a real buzz about tonight too.

Cosy but drafty on bar side of restaurant. Servers are v.attentive and pleasant , out to please and carry out every request gracefully and polite. Made to feel a valued customer. Food authentic Chinese and tasty. Toilet spotless and prices mud range. Atmospheric with unusual decor. Worth a visit or two.

I've been to Chin Chin a few times and have never been disappointed. I love the food and the staff are like family. If your having the meringue get the small one as they are massive.

Honestly the worst chinese meal I've ever had. When we arrived the waitress came over with prawn crackers and a curry sauce dip which was the best part of my meal. I had prawn toast . £5.80 for 4 small triangle s with no dip. Hubby got meat spring rolls, this was one spring roll halfed in two with a chilli dip. Mains came. I had salt and chilli chicken. This was like chicken nuggets with loads of crumbs on a plate, it was dry and disgusting, I ordered noodles to go with this and I can honestly say they were the worst noodles I've ever had they were dry with no flavour whatsoever so I put some soy sauce on them to try to improve them but they were still disgusting. My husband ordered chicken curry and paid 50p extra for it to be extra hot and what whoever made it put a spoonful of chilli powder on top for him to mix it in. I wish I would have taken photos of how bad this meal was. My husband moved some dishes to give me some curry sauce and knocked a glass of water into my salt n chilli chicken plate, I had only ate one piece and the waitress came over took the meal away and asked me if I wanted chicken wings. She left with the plate but didn't dry the table or take the wet paper placemat away so I had to sit at a wet table till hubby finished his meal. This wad a groupon deal meal for two and everything we picked had a supplement to pay and the food I received wasn't even worth the supplement. The place was empty apart from us and another couple on a Sunday night. No wonder. We won't be back. It was shocking

We haven't been here before, but had heard good reports. It's a bit out of our way, but worth the trip. Service was friendly, attentive and quick. Food was excellent and prices reasonable. Street parking at the door. Toilets clean and properly maintained, including Disabled....

Service was fab! Such a lovely wee restaurant with a good range of gluten free options too.

Food was excellent ,staff couldn't be any nicer would definitely recommend

Had a lovely night celebrating my sons birthday. Everyone was very happy with the service and meal. Will definitely be going back to the lovely quirky restaurant

Only leaving a 1 star review as it’s the lowest option I can give. Firstly - asked price for my meal including delivery before it had been sent out and when driver arrived was told a completely different price, they had added on an extra...

A lovely wee restaurant, nice atmosphere and food was very tasty, the staff were all really nice too, would recommend you give it a try as we will be going back 🙂

1st time in tonight service an food were perfect 🥰

Nice restaurant, very good service and attention from the staff. Must say I was a bit disappointed with some of the food. Spare ribs, very little meat on any of them and the vegetable spring rolls were terrible. Expected a bit more and had better for the £50 price tag.

Lovely meal, 1st time being at the chin chin. Lovely decor inside also

Delicious food and very reasonable price, good quality and excellent portions.

Absolutely great food and excellent service from the moment we entered until we left, Also wheel chair friendly which is a big big bonus x

Great wee find! Lovely place, staff, food, can't fault it, and decor great!

Friendly staff and great service

Not a very good Chinese take away. I would say it is mediocre at best. Tried a lot better for similar money.

Had a lovely experience at chin chin,staff are lovely,food was delicious and service 5 star would certainly go again.

Enjoyable meal but the very friendly waitresses were what made it great. Make sure that you know that the Groupon voucher is only up to a certain limit so some more expensive things you pay a small supplement.

Nothing amazing got a munchie box too much salt and msg the curry sauce was quite watery.

It was ok. There are much better Chinese restaurants in the area. The food was edible but nothing amazing or anything that makes it stand out.

Loved the food and the place though a little expensive.

Went here last night with my wife. We had a very enjoyable meal. Very nice restaurant Great friendly service. Schezhuan beef, satay chicken spring rolls all were very good. Really tasty food Maybe a bit expensive

Found this Chinese restaurant on groupen @ 22 pounds for two & you receive a 2 course meal sounds alright it was a party of 6 people but ended up 5 so I got told by staff on phone they would do extra sides for the person that was missing!!.. OK I thought fair enough not there fault & good of them to do that!!... from there our starters got giving out all nice' asked for chicken satay not got told it was on skewers so no rice served with it when asked they pointed out a rice that was with a other meal so double up on it then & the Singapore chow mein was a rather small portion compared to any where else left most of it as it was tasteless & to finish it got a bill for the sides that I got told was free!!... got manager on phone he explained then don't make profit out groupen told him well you signed up for it go off it then,tried to explain situation of what happened but got told some extra cost well.have that written on menu or clearly said before choose meal!!.. as the story goes not all that looks good deal ain't be very carefull on groupen & this is the first time this has happened to me with groupen anyway I won't be back not worth the journey or cost had better & more cost effective

Only got a take away but will definitely be going to the restaurant soon

Booked Chin Chin via Groupon. Very simple process as you book online via Groupon therefore no voucher is required to be shown to staff in the restaurant. Staff were excellent and attentive. Food was very good from the starters of Soup and the Meat Spring...
