Very busy on a Sunday night. Had a reservation so we seated immediately. Food was excellent. Nice and hot. Server had no smile, but was attentive and didn't miss a trick. Our order was exact. And the cherry on the top was the chocolate dipped fortune cookies. Absolutely delicious. Parking is an issue.

First time at CinCin Restaurant in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia and you have to go! The atmosphere is elegant but relaxed. The food was amazing from the start (Pan Fried Dumplings, Sizzling Roasted Duck and Tiramisu) to the dessert, the quality and tastes of everything was outstanding! Oh and the Lemon Drop Martini was fabulous! Highly Recommended.

Quick midday work lunch at Cin Cin in Chestnut Hill. I tried the shrimp in garlic black bean sauce and crispy spring rolls were delish. The fried rice was a little dry but you can tell it was yesterday's, I came first thing in the morning when they opened. But babyyyy the flavor of this black bean sauce. The service was super quick, but again I was the first one there, lol. I love me some Chinese food, this finna be my new dine in and takeout spot.

Very good! Food 5/5 I ordered a lamb with Chinese eggplant entree that was outstanding! Great portions. I absolutely love the string beans, but opted for the spicy sauce on the side. I like spice but my body does not anymore. I'm glad that I did request some on the side, because it's intense. My lemon martini hit the spot as well. Service 3/5 Service was polite, but nothing remarkable. They greet you promptly and ask if you're ready to order. My server circled back a few times until I was ready. Ambiance 3/5 Dim lifting, ample seating, white table cloths. There is dining room seating and bar seating. I wanted to sit at the bar, but it was to capacity. I enjoyed my tucked away table dining experience and actually had more space. I am still eating leftovers from Friday! The food still reheats well. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes.

What great service and food! Took my gram here with a few family members to celebrate her 96th birthday - they were very accommodating and even surprised us all with a birthday song in celebration. We visited on a Friday night- be prepared for the crowd. Even the take out area was busy. We decided to do family style sharing so that we could taste a few things on the menu. Crab fried rice, spring rolls, angry wings app, Chinese pizza, lamb sticks, mixed greens salad, pad Thai, chicken and veggies, salmon meal, Chinese eggplant and lava cake for dessert. We enjoyed each item, came out as it was prepared. The lava cake was delicious! We also had a few cocktails which were standard. Definitely will eat in again and even order takeout.

Cin Cin is no ordinary Chinese carry out joint! This is Elevated Chinese food like I have never had. The menu lists the usual suspects you would expect from any ordinary Chinese restaurant. But what you will learn quickly is that Cin Cin puts a unique and delicious spin to these familiar choices. Mongolian beef is one of my favorite carry out orders. The Cin Cin version features the usual chunks of green onion but also diced mushrooms. The sauce was savory and slightly sweet without being too salty. My wife got the Szechuan green beans. They were delicious and crisp-tender with finely chopped shallots. Though flavorful, they did not have the usual sauciness of your local carry out. Cin Cin was full-on packed by 6 pm on a Saturday night. You might not think to make a reservation at your usual Chinese restaurant, but you should do so at Cin Cin. The wait staff was fun and quirky. They were busy but took time to engage customers. Our dinners did not all come out at the same time. I'd like to see them smooth out that type thing. Two of us started eating so as our food did not get cold. The other two dishes came out 5 and 6 minutes later.
