This restaurant S*CKS!

by KIKIBUTLER

Read at the end of this review, about the tip fiasco. We went to Chin's tonight for dinner and used a coupon for the family dinner. The prices are very high for what you get!!! If you want to pay thru the nose, go to PFChangs. So we each ordered something different from the family dinner menu. Instead of entrees being served so ALL of us could share, they were plated up on each individual plate for the person who ordered it, like it was a lunch special, and the entree portions were VERY small. The family dinner came with soup (some kind of non-standard soup with onions and rice), and on each plate was an eggroll, a mound of steamed rice, half an orange, and the paltry entree. The flavors were good, but the waitstaff was nasty when we asked if they had brown rice. Oh, and if you wanted veggies instead of rice, put down an extra $4.50. We were quite disappointed at them trying to get off cheap, so we didn't leave a tip. The owner (not the waitress!!) came running out to the parking lot and said "You forgot to leave a tip." We said "No, we didn't." She said "You're not leaving a tip?" and we said "No, we're not."

We won't be going back, and we'll be telling all our friends!

• Pros: good parking
• Cons: small portions, impolite wait staff
