Chin’s Hawaiian Teriyaki Bbq Chicken

Chin’s is fire!
This place beats the Kay Kay in the same plaza
At chins you paying for some quality
And have to wait a little
So I suggest if you already ate there
Call in your order and pick it up
But still BOMB AF

Hole in the wall place for quick Chinese grub. The man at the counter was very sweet and quick, but the «Hawaiian» chicken itself was a bit fatty. Still, for the price, i guess i can’t complain!

The chicken here is amazing, same with the macaroni salad. I am leaving 4 stars vs. 3 because, really is such a good price for what you get that I can’t get tooo strict. I personally didn’t like the ribs because they had a funny odd taste, either from a dirty grill or old meat…
I will stick to just chicken. The place is not very presentable and dirty, but yet, it’s a «one man shop» I suggest you take the food to go instead, but overall, I am pleased with the food.

Either the owner/​cook didn’t hear me but my order was incomplete. I came here for the teriyaki chicken meal but left with the spam appetizer I also ordered. Probably going to throw it away. Not coming back. Smh.

One word to describe Chin’s Teriyaki: unappetizing.
I’m a fan of chicken teriyaki and rice. I had a craving and let Unilocal give me a recommendation. With so many 5 star reviews, I thought I had lucked up on a hidden gem. No winner on this one.
I placed 2 orders: chicken teriyaki and combo chow mein. Chicken teriyaki was bland and fatty. The macorni salad was more mayo than anything. The beef in the chow mein was very chewy and the noodles thick and glue’ish. I ate a little of both dishes then let my dog to feast on the rest. The food was edible but I wouldn’t eat here in the future.
For a true reality of this place, I recommend you error to the low starred reviews versus the 5 star reviews.

I searched LA for my comfort food. Hawaiian food that is. I haven’t found a place with the same kinda feel, price, and food as this place. If you want to feel like you’re eating at a real hole in a wall awesome Hawaiian plate lunch place like you’d find in Hawaii, come here.

Went there yesterday with my sister. I had katsu and she had shrimp chow mein. We ordered to-​go. As the other reviewers post, the place is a hole in the wall in a strip mall with several tables. The proprietor/​cook was very friendly, a tad too friendly according to my sister (he blew her kisses as we left, lol). The chicken katsu was pan-​fried as it should be and tasted fine although he forgot to add the katsu sauce (probably too busy looking at my sister as we left). I made do with siracha and soy sauce on the chicken but was disappointed with not having katsu sauce with the chicken. The chicken came on a bed of cabbage along with rice, macaroni salad, and green salad. She enjoyed the shrimp chow mein and could not come close to eat it all… the portions are pretty large. Since it is pretty close to my abode I will eat there again. The prices are reasonable and the food is cooked to order. I will try one of the hawaiian bbq dishes next time. If you go, expect ok food and a hole in the wall environment.

ridiculous portions. GREAT food. awesome dude. never felt like i had a homey in the community that i could get a good bite from til i found the homey chin! :-D

This place is DISGUSTING and FILTHY. Gross!!! Rice was re-​heated owner re-​heats cooked rice in microwave. Kitchen is DIRTY… Just plain disgusting. I would NEVER go back again. NEVER!!! Smells gross kitchen looks like a horter mess. I bet theirs roaches and rats all over the place. YUCK!!!

Awesome hole in the wall on Western, in the same plaza as McDonald’s and Subway. Food is DELICIOUS! Generous portions and prices are so ridiculously cheap! The owner is so sweet, very kind man. This is my new favorite spot and I will definitely be coming back more often!

Real hidden gem! Terriyaki chicken here is fire!!! As in delicious.
Musubis were good as well as the egg drop soup.
Will be here often!

Nice little hole in the wall restaurant. Price is cheap, portion is huge, I definitely recommend this place.

I like the #1 teryaki bbq chicken. Its right next to RadioShack… lil lo-​key spot good food though. Go check em out

Chin’s is my new favorite. Food aside for a quick minute, he is the nicest, friendliest Asian restaurant owner I’ve encountered in a while. So rare and so refreshing!
Now to the food. It’s pretty phenomenal. For a place that looks like a ghetto Panda Express, I was blown away by the tastiness of his food! The portions are huge as lots of people mentioned, and it is a one man show, but the what he lacks in manpower he makes up for in quality.
We got the black bean noodles, Hawaiian BBQ chicken teriyaki plate and kimchi fried rice (for 2 of us). Way more than enough food and we had a whole dish worth of leftovers and it came out to about $ 17 total.
The area around the restaurant isn’t great,
in fact it’s pretty sketchy at night, but it’s worth the risk. Try it out. You guys won’t be disappointed.

Little joint on Western Ave in Ktown. Definitely worth a look in. The shop is a one-​man shop, but don’t let that underestimate the quality here! My friend and I ordered the Jajungmyun and the fried rice — I literally couldn’t stop eating. Portions are huge, prices are cheap. Mr. Chin sure knows how to run a business! Friendliest owner I’ve ever met!
Absolutely coming back for more!

OMG this food is soooo bomb thanks to my cousins referring us for a late night grub. The Katsu chicken is so crispy. Mmmm. The macaroni side is done well. The sriracha on every table is a major plus so that I enjoy the steamed rice. Mmmmm-​mm-​mmmm!

I have to say, this little whole in the wall place is a real gem and go here every so often. My friend and I were out searching for a meal at 9pm, but everything close by was closed. This place was opened and we were initially hesitant until we found out it served Hawaiian style BBQ/​plate meals.
Don’t judge the joint on the exterior/​interior – the food and portions are quality here!
All the meals are on average $ 6 – 8 and the portions are HUGE. I always have to split my meal with a friend because its that big and still fills you up. What’s great is that it’s made right when you order, so you know your food is served to you fresh. Normally I get the chicken teriyaki plate, which is delicious. The chicken katsu is also great and is nice and crispy. The spam musubi is a steal for the size – only $ 1.75 for one!
Usually it’s just the owner of the place who runs the joint. He’s super nice and easy to talk to and has an interesting history. I asked for additional rice for my friend and me and he gave it to us free of charge!
Definitely check this place out. Just a note – the sign outside does not say ‘Chin’s Teriyaki BBQ Chicken’ but it does say Teriyaki BBQ and some Spanish words. Don’t be confused, that IS Chin’s.

My friend brought me here. It’s a little hole in the way Hawaiian spot. I got the number 1 which is just chicken over a bed of cabbage and broccoli, rice and macaroni salad. The portions are really huge and I love that he doesn’t start cooking until you order the food.

I love this place because it’s great. It’s fresh and the owner starts cookin once you finish ordering. I usually get the chicken plate and it comes with rice, macaroni salad, and cabbage. I love rice because it’s very filling. The other food choices available in this plaza is McDonald’s, Subway, and Winchells that tend to be crowded most times, however this place is very steady and I enjoy the food and can have a seat too.

Mr. Chin is the man. I always get the chicken katsu/​chicken teryaki combo. Great portions and excellent taste. Everything comes with rice, macaroni salad, and some cabbage. This is in Koreatown, not Burbank, like the listing says, right by Venice/​Western, near McDonalds/​Subway.
