About Chapin Cuisine

Located at 146 Witherspoon St in Princeton, NJ, Chapin Cuisine offers a budget-friendly option for local users seeking simple and authentic meals. While categorized under a Chinese Restaurant platform, Chapin Cuisine provides a straightforward approach to cooking.

Customer reviews indicate that the prices at Chapin Cuisine are reasonable, especially when compared to other establishments in Princeton. For those prioritizing affordability, this restaurant may be a good choice. One long-time customer expresses love for the place, highlighting its cheap prices. However, they also note that seating can be limited, often resulting in customers opting for takeout due to potential crowding.

Another point mentioned is that the restaurant may only prepare a subset of the items listed on the menu at any given time. Despite this, the dishes that are available reportedly receive full attention and are delicious, suggesting a focus on quality over a vast selection.

However, it's important to note a contrasting recent experience where a customer described their meal as "okay" with a reasonable preparation time. This customer also reported receiving a different dish than ordered and finding hair in their rice and beans, indicating potential inconsistencies in order accuracy and food safety. For those seeking an affordable and potentially authentic meal and are comfortable with the possibility of limited seating and menu options, Chapin Cuisine might be worth considering. For inquiries or orders, you can contact them at (609) 924-5772 or +1 609-924-5772.

Reasonably priced simple authentic meals. I love this place, been eating here for years. Very cheap compared to the rest of Princeton; though be prepared to take out if squeezing between strangers at a bar against the wall doesn't appeal to you. They/he/she can only make a subset of the things on the menu at any given point in time, but those dishes are getting all their attention and are delicious.

It was okay. Price was reasonable. 20 minutes to prepare. I ended up getting something different to what I ordered (only noticed when I got home) and there was more than one piece of hair in the rice and beans.

The restaurant was authentic and reasonably priced. The food was good, but nothing over the top. You can get your typical Latin American lunch consisting of meat, rice, beans, and tortillas. Fortunately I had a Spanish speaker with me. Otherwise it would have been difficult to communicate. This is where the local Latinos go. There are a handful of stools and limited counter space so don't go with a large group unless you plan on taking your food to go. Definitely try the homemade horchata.

A nice surprise in Princeton! The pupusas were good, they only had one kind, "revueltas" and the chicharron and bistec guisado were also pretty good!

This place is great. It's a small restaurant, not a lot of room. The food is fantastic for the price, and the tortillas are pretty authentic Guatemalan tortillas. I'm glad this place is in Princeton.
