What a fantastic place, it's very rare these days to find somewhere so good and great value for money! I will definately be going back again and would highly recommend!! When I read some of the previous reviews I wonder did we really go to the same place?! Honestly the best place I've been to in Bristol in a long... More

I found this place last year and have been on a number of occasions now and still love it!! The menu changes frequently with fresh ingredients that are from the local area. I just read a few reviews saying it changed from last year - well yes, things do change and if you are a 'safe' person who doesn't like... More

I had been to Chin Chin once with my friends on last year November. We had had a very pleasant evening as the services were great and the food were greater than awesome. Due to the good experience and high expectation, I decided to bring some other friends to Chin Chin to celebrate one of the friends' birthday and to... More

I appreciate your perspective on your visit with us, however i feel it is generally unfair and I am disappointed to read your comments, especially as many others from your party that night thanked me and my colleagues for a great night.  After spending much of your visit to us looking after your large party personally, which almost entirely took...

I had dinner in chin chin a few months back. This time, the menu changed and the portion is not as much as I previously had. It has greatly reduced. I was looking forward going back to have dinner but it was a disappointment. Overall, it was still great food and waiter was very polite. More

We have been to Chin Chin numerous times and it's a safebet. On 22 April the restaurant was full for Sunday lunch. Seeking additions when not strictly on the menu (such as crackling with lamb/beef) were accommodated and presented no problem. The waitress was good humored as we were a bit of a challenge and were full of banter. Everyone... More

Good selection on the menu and the staff were accommodating. Some of my friends had the early bird 3 course menu for just 15 quids and it was for good value. Food was served piping hot and it was a small cosy restaurant! More

Relative to it's reputation, popularity and how much it clearly thinks of itself, I was disappointed with the food. Especially being a vegetarian (I really can't understand why fancy restaurants think vegetarians want smaller portions than meat eaters - we don't). More

Went on a family meal and enjoyed the atmosphere. It may not be the best in town but it served great food and with panache. Good staff added to the ambiance and the meal. More
