Jimmy Chin has come a long way since his days working as a delivery boy. Named a “Top 10 Gracious Host” by Zagat Survey, Chin has created a warm dining experience with Chin Chin, attracting star-studded diners for more than 20 years. Those who meet Chin quickly recognize his love for the dining crowd, though it’s easier to please when you’re in an interior as gorgeous as this one. The design of virtuoso John Jay balances sophisticated class with modern style, resulting in 4,000 square feet of elegance—perfect for private parties, banquets and business functions. The nouvelle Chinese menu brings traditional techniques into the fray, while Chef Chin Hin Keun continues to reinvent dishes with fresh interpretations of old favorites, creating distinct international flavors in the process. But no matter how innovative Chin Chin may get, one thing never changes—Jimmy Chin’s charisma always makes each experience here one-of-a-kind.
