First things first: chino is often full of hipper than thou SUV leasing aging unsophisticates on the weekends. chino is loud as hell on the weekends. chino can be so busy, it's hard to get a drink...on the weekends.
Now, that aside, chino has very tastey well prepared food (sushi could be a little fresher). Nothing is ever oversalted, and the flavors are always surprisingly complimentary. The signature drinks are pricey, but quite well done. The party atmosphere can be a blast, especially with groups or for seconds dates. The service has always been attentive and forthcoming w/ regard to suggestions. One of my faves for happy hour and late night for sure.
I recommend the drano balls, fried rice and guacamole, maze, jerk chicken, bento box, portobella satay and tacos. And ya gotta have the popocatepe at happy hour.
Pros: Fast, Friendly, Tastey
Cons: Weekend Evenings
