I have always thought there was no Chinese restaurant that could give Mr. Chow’s a run for their money, but I finally got a chance to eat at Chin Chin last week in NYC, and let me tell you I think I found my new favorite Chinese spot in the country.  Thanks to the recent financial turmoil in NYC, you can virtually walk into any of your favorite restaurant in the city and get a table.  So last week, I walked into all of the restaurants I usually make reservations or get turned downed and told to call back next week.  Chin Chin is one of thos restaurants (not to be confused with the not so good casual restaurant on Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles).  This upscale Chinese eatery definitely has a great vegetarian menu filled with flavor and served from some of the best restaurant staff in NYC.  I actually was shocked on how friendly the service was, very rare in NYC, where most waiters are rude and don’t make you feel at home.  The friendly service and the tasty food made this a home run, and a definite must eat the next time you are in NYC or if you live in NYC and dread going to midtown, suck it up, it is worth the trip.
