The 7th San Diego County location of longtime Chinese restaurant chain Chin's Szechwan is opening this spring in La Jolla.
Executive Chef and co-owner Ting Tsai has been cooking up Chinese and Mandarin cuisine at Chin's Szechwan since the restaurant first opened in Carlsbad Village in 1984.

There will also be a limited menu of beer and wine. The restaurant will soft open mid April for takeout and delivery during renovations, with a grand opening expected for May.Chin's Szechwan will open this spring at 623 Pearl Street in La Jolla.
