Chin's Gourmet — Restaurant in Carlsbad

We tried again...thinking maybe the first 2 times were a fluke. This place is so bad. I ordered food to go at 8:10pm, was told to come in 20 minutes. I showed up 10 minutes early and the order came right out. The fried wontons were stale, greasy and super disappointing. Those fried wontons had been around for a few hours or days.

I can’t speak to the quality of the food as I didn’t get what I ordered. I probably won’t be coming back. They should have comped my whole meal since it wasn’t anywhere near what I ordered. They...

We ordered takeout. It was ready at the correct time. The staff is very nice. The food is delicious. Here's hopefully some easy feedback to fix and earn that fifth star. They use styrofoam takeout containers. Maybe a necessary evil. BUT the styrofoam containers leak all over the place. The food is so hot that it melted one container completely through and two others where partially melted. Sauces got spilled everywhere. The restaurant even wrapped the containers in plastic bags. Didn't help. I'm surprised they haven't gotten feedback before on this. Containers are...
