The philosophy of this restaurant is share good food with friends and family. There are two locations, Curridabat and Puntarenas. Specifically in Puntarenas, it´s located on second floor of the Tioga Hotel. The owner is very kindly and always he helps to choose the best...options through recommendations. The food is delicious.More

The food wasn't good. The service was horrible. We left most of the food and asked the waitress a couple of times for extra drinks and forgot each time. Will never go back.

I simply can't enjoy Chinese food here in Costa Rica and the Chung San is no different. It's over priced and oily and greasy. Service is mediocre at best but at least you get your food fairly quickly.

After many years of absence because I'm not living in Costa Rica, I returned to dinner at this Restaurant and the surprise was very pleasant. The place attractive modern, and very broad menu and exotic dishes. Knew him almost since opening and the effort paid...off. Now those who have taken over, have been proposed to maintain the quality of their food. If you go to Puntarenas, this restaurant will fill your expectations of Chinese food. Highly recommended.More

Not bad for Chinese in Costa Rica. The best value are the meals for 2, 3, 4, etc... persons. It took a little bit for the food to come out but it was pretty. Good. Although. I would not advise ordering the calamari it wasn't...very good; however we ate it all.More

Whenever possible my husband and I eat here or order ahead and take something "To Go". We live in a remote area and when we pass through Puntarenas en route to the ferry home or SJO it is a treat when we stop and have...a chance to enjoy consistently great food, very fresh and tasty. I always order a noodle dish without the sauce and my husband orders a dish loaded in sauces that are not too heavy or loaded with condiments. They have even suggested packing the sauces separate from the noodles given that we have a 3 hour trip till we reach our home which made a huge difference at the table. The restaurant itself is large and open, very clean and the staff is very friendly and service is excellent. Chinese food in CR is different than what I was used too in the states but now that I have learned the differences and love what they prepare here I can definitely say this is one of my all time favorite Chinese restaurants.More
