I have heard many good things about Chino's but I was sadly disappointed when I finally went. My friend had made reservations for 10 and upon arriving, we realized we had 12. Even though we had made reservations, when we changed them by 2 people, we ended up waiting almost an hour to be seated. We asked the hostess if we could simply just squeeze the extra 2 people in at the table they had originally intended for us and they said that's what they were doing. So what I really don't understand is why that took them 50 minutes. On top of that, our waiter was very unattentive and brought all of our orders out sporadically instead of enlisting another server's help. I was the last one to get my food and 1/3 of the table was done eating by that time. He was very unattentive in refilling our drinks. The pad thai that I ordered was absolutely horrendous. I have been advising everyone who mentions the place to avoid it unless they want to eat dog food. Otherwise, the presentation was great and the smore's dessert was fantastic! What a great idea. I would go again because I have heard they have good sushi that I would like to try but unless you want a long wait and an unattentive wait staff, I would advise against it.
Pros: Trendy, celeb hangout, fun dessert and drinks
Cons: Parking, wait staff
