Was in town for a conference and decided to check this place out for dinner. What a hidden gem! It's tucked away underground in a nice quiet area. They were very accommodating - didn't book a reservation and they were able to squeeze us in with no wait. Super relaxed atmosphere and the food was incredible. If you happen to go when they offer the K-Bread...get it, you won't regret it! If I ever visit Buffalo again, I will definitely be back :)

The space is hidden away, but well worth "discovering". The vibes are cozy, warm, and inviting. The space is clean and open. Prices are good for a weekday lunch or a full date night, plenty bang for your buck here. Fun cocktail list and food comes out quickly. The beef lo mein was spectacular, with a sear and plenty of juiciness. The tofu also got a thumbs up for its texture! Will be excited to return soon

Best hot and sour soup in town , but it packs a punch. Pack in for the spice They have delicious food, and kind staff Overall I never leave unhappy and go here off and on for my Chinese food fix. I've been going regularly here for about 6months and it's never a disappointment They have very reasonable prices and one meal can easily be shared from my experience, with the very generous servings 🦚 🐲 Happy year of the dragon

Ordered specials that came with egg roll and crabragoon.... came as an expensive entree because we never got the 2 sides. The walnut chicken was very sweet, so rice was nice. Plastic silverware and plates 🍽 should be recommended as takeout only restaurant at best.

I was skeptical about a "great" Chinese spot in La Jolla, but Chin's delivered in a serious way. The service was very slow to take our order, but once we got started, the service was great the rest of the night. The staff was warm and inviting, and they made sure we had everything we needed. We got the pan fried pork potstickers (solid - more dough-y than I prefer), tangerine beef (a little too fruit-forward with the glaze), Szechwan crispy pork (delicious), ku ting shrimp (a hit across the table) and spicy honey & sesame chicken (the crowd favorite of the night). Not pictured: crispy wontons and seafood fried rice (the table liked both). The space is small, but the portions are HUGE. Four of us were eating, and we took home at least half of three entrees. I'd love to return to try more savory dishes...and hopefully more veggies. Well done, Chin's!

Their food is great. Their spicy scale is 1 to 5 and the 5 is hot, I was not disappointed. Their chicken wings are delish. Be prepared to wait. It is a small dining area and very popular. take out order is a wait as well. They are not fast, but they hustle and it is worth it.

Absolutely delicious food! Highly recommend any of the rice bowls or dumplings. Staff is friendly and food comes out somewhat quick. I’d recommend ordering ahead of time because it can get busy during the lunch hours.

Good place for dumplings, noodles and rice. There is also a good selection of side dishes. Service is friendly, open kitchen. Order at the counter first and staff will assign a you a table number. Plates and bowls are a nice stoneware, not plastic. Food comes quickly and served hot. Each table has condiments like chili oil, black vinegar and soy sauce. We ordered: Pork Belly Noodle $14.00 1 Pan Fried Pork $12.00 1 Steamed Soup $13.00 1 Pan Fried Beef $13.00 1 Baby Bok Choy $6.50 We also received a complementary pan fried chicken which was a pleasant surprise! The wrap on the soup filled dumplings is a bit thicker than we are used to but the flavour is delicious and there is plenty of yummy soup inside. Overall a great choice if you’re craving this type of food.

Zoe Ma Ma is a great spot for a flavorful and satisfying meal. We tried the Dan Dan noodles and the pork belly with rice, and both dishes were packed with great flavor. The noodles had just the right amount of spice and richness, while the pork belly was tender and paired perfectly with the rice. Portions were generous, and everything felt fresh and well-prepared. It’s the kind of place that hits the spot when you’re craving something hearty and comforting.

While the service is great, the food is incredibly disappointing and overpriced. Mediocre taste and TINY portions. Ordered to go ...got home to find out we paid $13 for a few pieces of bok choy! To-go bowls were both half empty. Had to order Dominos after eating this to not go hungry. Lesson learned.

Today 3/24 I ordered Vegetable Hand-Ripped Noodle In Soup. Sub for rice noodles. I've added pictures, one from their website of what I ordered vs. what I received (my photo). This was just completely disappointing! The taste did not make up for the presentation either.. 😣

This place was a huge disappointment. We were in the area and saw this place and was very excited to give it a shot. I am a big fan of Xian Famous Food and was hoping for something similar. First of all the noodle was not even chewy. It was big, flat, soft and just boring. Did not taste the hand pulled noddles at all. We ordered the spicy beef noodle soup and the vegetarian noodle soup and both were extremely disappointing. The vegetable one was especially bad. It lacked in flavor and just bland and boring. We also ordered the spicy cumin lamb burger and the beef burger. And both were way too salty and lack flavor again. The chicken dry noddle was also bad... Really a shame...the place is cute and we really had high hopes. But a complete copy cat of Xian Famous food that failed. People who thought this place is good really don't know Chinese food..there I said it...

I love Hong's Dumplings so much. She is open in January 2025 from 11am-7pm on Saturdays. I hope she continues to have hours throughout the year. I love the thick, chewy dough and delicious filling. The fried rice, cold sesame noodles, and scallion pancakes are delish too. I hope this recent review helps her get some good winter business!

This spot has earned its many awards for a good reason—it’s an absolute gem for authentic, delicious dumplings. The freshness of the ingredients is evident in every bite, and the handmade dumpling shells are a textural delight, unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere. If you’re on the hunt for truly outstanding dumplings, look no further. While the menu is small, it’s thoughtfully curated, and you genuinely can’t go wrong with any choice—every flavor shines in its own way. The owner is incredibly warm and welcoming, adding to the charm of this cozy, hole-in-the-wall spot. For those who value authenticity and flavor, this is a must-try.

Thought I'd give this place a try! Ended up getting general Ty's chicken and pepper chicken and the food tasted good and the amount that you got for the price you pay is not bad it's just that it is not a sit-in restaurant. It's only takeout and when you put fried food into styrofoam containers, the food becomes soggy from the steam before you can even eat it.

Very kind and always provide free dessert when we tip them. Even when they mixed up an order one time they let us keep all of the food and then we got our original meal as well. Support local businesses :)

Scammers as employees. Refuse to return my gift card or show me a zero balance. Do not give your business to these clowns. Absolutely ridiculous service.

Ordered a medium Sweet Fire Chicken, for $9 and there were literally 4 small pieces of chicken and 75% Pineapple, Onions, etc. Unacceptable. Very disappointing.

Straight to the point comfort Chinese food at its best. We had take out trays for a party and we non stopped munched on each dish non stop for the duration of the celebration. We had pork fried rice which was addicting, the sweet and sour chicken and chicken fingers were on point on flavor and crispy! Not to mention the crab Rangoon wontons which we devoured within the first few minutes. Would definitely come back!

The people are friendly, fast service, and the food is great quality. The pricing is by far the most comparable for the portions.

Wonderful, quaint place with fresh delicious food! We shared the Fried Dumplings, House Fried Rice and Lemon Chicken. Lots of flavor, generous portions just enough for two (maybe 3 but we were hungry... hahaha) Definitely will be back when in La Jolla... just a short walk from our favorite hotel too.

The food is edible but totally bland and eminently forgettable, if abundant. We ordered egg rolls that were dry and tasteless, but crispy. The crust was the best part. We also ordered shrimp fried rice, which lacked seasoning and required generous applications of soy sauce or sweet and sour sauce for any flavor at all, but had a goodly number of shrimp. Our "spicy" Kung Pao shrimp had a few peppers in it, but totally lacked spiciness. We won't return. Bland, bland, bland.

I picked up a dinner two days in row here, around closing. The Asian lady was cleaning the floors around closing time and had my food ready. She seemed really nice and pleasant to interact with. If she is reading this I'd like her to know that she is doing great and that I didn't find her rude like the other reviewers here. She's trying her best. The food was fresh and extremely flavorful, especially in the cold winter nights. I will definitely visit this place again and again.

Got a too good to go order. Once I received the food, it was really dry and had a hard time eating. After a while I threw up so much and my roommate got food poisoning a couple of months ago. SAVE YOURSELF AND DONT ORDER FROM HERE!!! If you really want Chinese food just get it from Chinatown it’d do close you can walk, take the M15 or even a quick 10 min uber.
