“Ordered a set menu for 2 with extra spicy breaded shrimps. Set menu was starters, mains and fried rice and noodles - all with chicken and was enough to serve two adults and one 11 year old both for lunch and dinner - granted we are not big eaters. Overall the food was great, especially like the spring rolls and the breaded shrimps!”

Confirm hours. If ordering late, confirm the branch is still accepting orders rather than relying only on the app’s listed closing time.
Specify spice. Add clear spice instructions; one order successfully kept dishes mild and supplied extra spice separately.
Check labels. For vegetarian orders, verify which package is veg or non-veg when it arrives, as one delivery had no dish labels.
Allow time. Build in extra delivery time, particularly at busy periods, since reviews mention one-hour delivery and 45-plus-minute preparation.
Order size. For a solo meal, portions are often described as suitable for one; check quantities when ordering for a group.

Food quality varies sharply between orders, with reports of bland, soggy or stale-tasting dishes alongside strong experiences.
One delivery took an hour, while another order involved more than 45 minutes of preparation time.
Portions have been reported as noticeably smaller, including a three-person order costing 150 dhs that was insufficient.
Careem packaging reportedly did not identify dishes or whether they were vegetarian, leading to a vegetarian diner receiving chicken.
A late-night customer found the branch closed at 1:30am even though the app showed a 3am closing time.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Chin Chin JVC is a takeaway-and-delivery spot for Indo-Chinese food in Jumeirah Village Circle. The dishes that get the clearest praise are Chicken Hakka Noodles, Dynamite Shrimp, spring rolls and Drums of Heaven. The Hakka noodles are especially worth considering if you like spice, while delivery packaging is described as neat, secure and sometimes microwaveable.
Portions are a big part of the appeal, but they are not fully predictable. One set menu was enough for two adults and an 11-year-old across lunch and dinner; elsewhere, a three-person order costing 150 dhs was called insufficient. Recent reviews also describe a noticeable reduction in quantity, so check the serving size if you are feeding a group.
The main caution is inconsistency. Customers have reported excellent, freshly prepared meals, but also bland food, soggy noodles, dry dumplings, stale-tasting dishes and an incomplete order. Delivery and preparation can run long, and the app’s closing time has not always matched reality.
If you need vegetarian food, check the packages carefully because one Careem order arrived without veg or non-veg labels. Spice requests can work well when stated clearly, including keeping some dishes mild and serving extra spice separately.
