Chino Latino Restaurant Review

Always delicious food and great company. Family size portions make it easy to share a couple options. Lively and exciting place to eat.

If you don t get the chocolate flan cake thingy... you haven t lived ;)

Best happy hour in town. Great bartenders & atmosphere.

Took over 45 minutes to get a second beer and longer for the apps and food..

Returned to this place on friday and the big tall waitress was awful! she literally ignored me and didn't give me a drink or asked me if I needed anything..I sat at the bar for an hour..Inhumane behavior!!!!!!

This is a lively and trendy place. The crowd was younger and a bit loud, but we really enjoyed the food! We found the half Asian, half Latino food menu to be unique. Our server was polite and attentive. We would go back!

Made a reservation for a decent size group. Even showed up a bit early and were told they couldn't seat us because of our group size. Waited another 90 mins. Staff needs to communicate they didn't even know we were coming.

Fun place for a birthday! Drinks are exciting and the food is all family style!

Their drink in the pineapple is the best, with good scenery. Was very impressed with the bartender being attentive.

Great food, not a quit place but very fine and fun. Drink and cocktails are awesome.

Hard to choose what to eat ~ there are so many delicious choices on the menu! Use valet parking for $10. Service was excellent; many hands on deck.

Chino Latino has some good food and drinks. The sushi is just OK. The happy hour offerings are a great deal. The atmosphere is very loud upstairs.

Table service was good. Drinks were very good, but very slow. Food wasn't very good.

Waited 35min then told my food was taken to a different table. TWICE IN ONE NIGHT! Terrible moronic servers

This is a great place to come with groups. On the one hand the menu is huge so there s definitely something for everyone s liking (most are big enough and intended to be shared). Also they are great at splitting large bills while most restaurants scoff at having to split a bill amongst more than six or eight, I once came to Chino Latino with a group of 20+ and our server was exceptional at getting our order and tabs organized. The food is pretty good, definitely pricey though. The peanut curry is probably my favorite dish they make. The cocktails are all fun and creative, and their sweetness belies just how drunk they re making you. All in all, if you have a birthday celebration or a large group dinner this is a perfect place to come.

Totally Disappointed with the taste. Ordered Dragon Lady Veggie Fried Rice and it was totally bland. No taste at all. It was like some soggy rice dumped in a bowl with a few strings of veggies thrown here and there. It didnt live upto the hype that was created by peers. Gave two stars for the service. The servers were really polite and accomodating of special requests. Also ordered pot stickers and they were palpable.

The food was excellent, but service was mediocre. This isn't exactly a "fine dining" establishment so perhaps I shouldn't have expected superb attention from our server, but it seemed we went a little longer than desired between stops from her.

The ambiance in this restaurant is varied, and unfortunately we were seated in the basement I'm the back next to a party of 30ish. The ceilings were low, so the room got incredibly noisy from this group, and we needed to nearly yell to talk to people across the table from us.. There was no art or anything at all on the walls except a red glow -very odd. I'm sure this feels hip or cool to some, but it simply wasn't my taste.

The food is amazing. One big meal can feed 3-4 people. They have a unique variety of cocktails and beverages. And the atmosphere is cool. It has a club-like feel on the top floor, but the bottom floor is more conversation-friendly because it's a bit more quiet.

Have loved this place for as long as I can remember!

Classy modern bar and restaurant great for a nice birthday party or celebration. Dimly lit atmosphere. The food is delicious and a great selection for everybody. Not very kid friendly. Definitely get reservations sooner than later.

I love coming here for their happy hour. Brought an out of town guest here before going out in Uptown and we had a blast. Make sure you get the pork belly buns.

Food was great, and the ambience is fun. SERVICE is awesome!!!

Great atmosphere! My drink was awesome, our waiter was fab and the fortune cookies were hilarious.

This place is an absolute gem, the food is incredible, the fortune cookies are even better

Good place to eat .not to go on a date definitely to loud.

My favorite restaurant for Happy Hour! TRY THE HOT TUB drink. Fun and delicious!

The tacos were not the best however the atmosphere was super fun and the service was great

You haven t lived til you ve tried their Bang Bang firecracker (sriracha-laced) chicken wings! They come with the most delectable sesame dipping sauce. This is a good place to come on a date or a special occasion. The prices prohibit me from coming here too often, but it s always worth it when I do. I enjoy the atmosphere as well, though it can get noisy during busy times.

After coming here for 12 years, I am never disappointed. Great ambience and fun menu. Great for big groups!

I do like this place but giving it this rating because most times I go here, there is some kind of mishap with the service. Today was my birthday and I came here to pig out with my friends. I ate too much and threw up in the bathroom, and was asked by the manager to stop drinking. I was drinking, but I didn t have more than one drink and was not drunk. Drinking was not the problem or reason for me throwing up and the way the manager approached me made me not want to come back for a long time. For what everything is, not all that worth it.

Great atmosphere, food and drinks amazing. Wish we had 2 servers for our party though.

We have never been disappointed in the service or the food at Chino Latino. Pot stickers, tacos, enchiladas, and sushi are the best!! Drinks are fabulous!! But I have to add, if you want thee BEST server, request Dulche!!! He was attentive to my grandson and always checking on us to ensure we had the best service!! Thank you Dulche!!

So cool and fun!! They literally brought out steaming drinks and sparklers in my dessert!! What an awesome place!!

Great ambiance. Good service and good experience with a large group of people or entertaining out of town guests. The food is good but in my opinion overpriced. Unique menu as it has numerous different types of food combined into one restaurant.
Love the pineapple drinks.

Seated 45 minutes after out reservation. Parts of the order took 30 minutes longer to come from the kitchen. Bills were mixed up. And a 20% gratuity was charged on the total even though policy is pretax total. Not a good experience at all.

Still one of the best spots in the Twin Cities. Mouth-watering sushi, tacos, pad Thai... you name it. The chicken tinga tostada is to die for. The Cuban pork crisis is as always. The service is , and their specialty cocktails are heavenly. I can't say enough good things about it. If you've never been, you are missing out.

We were visiting Minne and some friends told us about this place. They were right to recommend it, we loved it. Food was priced right, service was on point and the unique menu was definitely a talking point. They serve everything! The food was amazing, we had sushi and seafood. All on point. Recommend this to anyone visiting the area.

We went for my daughter's birthday and had a wonderful time as always. The food and service was great!

We did not like the food there. Their platter is not the same as they used to be. The waiter was rude.

Great food and great concept! Be warned, the fortunes in the fortune cookies are NOT nice, but are absolutely hilarious!

This place used to be amazing. Now it's just the she'll of amazing. Nothing changed, but not in a good way. Food is mediocre at best.

They have delicious food and a great atmosphere to go on a date to.

Really a poor experience overall. I used to come here all the time many years ago but this visit was disappointing. Courses came out out of order server was not attentive and the food was not of the quality I was used to. No manager interaction and little to no knowledge of the menu or cocktails from the server.

Such good sushi. Not too expensive but definitely worth the money.

Fabulous drinks, delicious food, fun decor, friendly service, and hilarious fortune cookies!

Love Chino!!! Good food, good drinks, nice happy hour

Over prices, overrated
Been here maybe 3-4 times.
It will be my last.
The food is way over priced for the quality you get.
I don't mind paying more for better quality however that's not the case here.

The veggies tasted microwaved.
Food quality was blah

This place may be nice to take someone on their first date since it looks cool and will give a good impression.
I'd say this place is more for a younger crowd, not recommended for families with kids.

This place has my favorite happy hour, hands down. I love their barbacoa tacos, a must try! There are a few cool drinks on sale too. Outside of happy hour they are a little pricey but the ambiance is very fun. I frequent here a lot and have never had a bad experience.

The atmosphere is energetic, romantic, and open minded. This is the perfect place to go and share some savory food and tasty adult beverages. The wait staff is lively and professional all while having fun. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone looking for a stiff environment, this place is far too alive!

Been there forever and good place for birthday dinners and sale bombs... they ll put the birthday persons name on the menu! Good vibes always

Food, atmosphere, fun drinks and more are top notch!

We like to regularly bring friends and family from the East and West coasts for a round of orgasmos (pineapple cocktail served in a ) here. They are always amazed at how friendly the bar staff is, especially Jorge. It can be real crowded with all the tables taken and instead of yelling or pushing their way through, they are still courteous and appreciative of you being there. Jorge continuously looked for a few empty chairs for us when he could have easily just ignored us. My East coast friends were amazed at how nice the staff and couldn't believe it. We have been welcomed by the staff countless times. We will keep coming back. If you are free on Mondays, stop by then for a great HH and to beat the crowd.

This is a great place for a group outing as it is best if you share different plates. The menu is unique and diverse, but very good. It is a fun atmosphere, but can also be intimate. The staff was wonderful and made the experience better.

Service was great. Good food and a decent wine list. Fun atmosphere and the "strange" restrooms.

It's hard to go to Uptown nowadays... everything is so commercialized. I still love the staff. You guys are doing it right.

Been here several times and the food has been good. This resturant tends to get very busy which affects service.

Great food and drink. Definitely take a group! Tons of food ane splitting makes it affordable for anyone.

Nice intimate setting with all the energy you would expect from the prime location in Uptown.

Cute place but soooo overrated !!!! Cocktails are nice but food is greasy and sushi bad bad bad !

Great customer service and sparklers for my friends 21st bday

Went for happy hour on a Sunday. Food was ok and the drinks were decent. Beer selection was pretty terrible. Nothing about the experience would make me want to pay full price for any of their food but the happy hour value was alright.

This was such a fun place to go eat! I definitely recommend for a "special birthday". Food is slightly pricey but amazing! Definitely a bar setting, with the loudness and packed atmosphere. However it made for such a great night and memories. LOVED the Bonzai countdown shots and personalized menus for our group! The drinks were crazy fancy too. Thank you Chino Latino!

Fun unique fusion restaurant. I was so full I was miserable but the food was too good to let go to waste. Service was a little slow but we had a large group.

We went to this place on a recommendation from friends and just love it. We have been back at least 5 times since and really enjoy trying the many options on the menu and the 'small plate' concept. We haven't had a plate yet that we didn't like - you can't go wrong here.

worst restaurant ever i was charge the wrong amount $300 for 3 tacos 2 beers and a pie and the restaurant has done nothing for me. will not go back Cassandra needs to pay more attention very bad customer service. do not go to this place.

Great atmosphere...food is always delicious. Definitely coming back.

Not a good place for groups, they do not accommodate very well. Went here for a birthday dinner, my friend called a week in advanced to reserve a table and she informed them that it will be 12 people, they called her an hour before dinner and said they had to spit the table in two. They separated the tables, so one of the tables was behind the other. We had to talk to the manager multiple times before they agreeded to put the tables together, so her full party would not be separated. So this is why they we're not accommodating. This should have been disclosed when my friend made the reservation. But the waitress that we had was great, she was very calm and the large group with ease.

Food is perfect. Service is great. Location is beautiful. A little spendy but worth every penny.

A great place to go if you want a fun atmosphere with amazing food! Absolutely love the firecracker wings, they are spicy though paired with the peanut sesame dipping sauce it's a whole lot of flavor going on.

Every time I come here it seems worse than the last time. I think it's just getting old and it's time for Parasole to reinvent the space with something new and fresh.

The food was extremely delicious. They had nice dishes and the spin was a total delight. Will come back very soon!

Google says I went here but I didn't! Yay! #successfulteleporting

I always love Chino! Super delicious food and drinks!

Great happy hour menu. Service was fantastic in the bar.

Family style dining at it's best; we enjoyed our meal and experience. The atmosphere is very exciting. Just know that the food is shareable. As in, you will share because it is served as it is prepared. The servers will likely not explain this until after you order. They should explain it as you order. The menu is staggered as to what comes first. If you go with a mind to share all of your dishes, you'll have a great time. That's because the food is delicious! We will definitely return. Highly recommended: plantain nachos, molcajete, all tacos, and now in the top 5 of the bests desserts I've ever had: the chocolate flandango.

Wasn't the greatest experience...experience...the jerk wings was under cooked and 4 raw wings for $16 bucks absolutely was for the birds. The Spicy Shrimp fried rice would have been the saving grace but it was skimpy on the shrimpy...Henry the waiter was op point...i paid and left too tired to complain

Service was very good, our bartender Skyler was attentive and made great drinks. The TV seemed to be low and affected all of them

Terrible service and management. A couple of friends were laughing when we walked in and they refused service? We were well dressed and well behaved, enjoying our time together. I ve never been so disrespected by an incredibly rude bartender. I ll never be returning.

Fun place, very packed. Awesome service. The food is semi unique, appetizers are outstanding but the sushi was nothing special. Desert was fantastic. Would definitely go back for the appetizers and happy hour.

Fusion Your Heart out on amazing Asia/Hispanic menu with dishes to share and drinks to quench your exotic tastes. Highly recommend the late night happy hour drinks and menu for late night bites!

Amazing food! We shared multiple appetizers and one entree. All were absolutely perfect! Entrees are huge portion but were great to take home. We went during happy hour so drinks and apps were great price as well. Can't wait to go back !

Excellent food and the atmosphere was perfect. The only thing it was dark n I had to use my cellphone to order. Other than that it was perfect
