About this business
Chino Latino in artsy Uptown is usually wall-to-wall people, noisy and busy. Chino Latino is about dressing well, being current and making the scene. Look for the sparkly glitter marquee. If you can, stake out a large round, comfortable booth or group size table. The food and drink is as chic as the crowd. The menu features dishes from south of the border and Asia with many selections being hot and spicy. Choose from tacos, enchiladas, tostadas, Sweet and Sour Chicken, spring rolls stuffed with shrimp, chicken or noodles, sh... read more

Huh? – If you're going to open a restaurant, then for God's sake specialize in a cuisine. When you try to serve 3 or more cuisines -- none of which compliment each other very well -- all suffer. I'd rather have Chinese at The Rainbow, and I'd rather have Carribean down the street at Harry Singh's. Sure, the atmosphere is flashy, but I get the distinct impression that I'm not hip enough to even sit at the bar. Chino Latino is all style and little substance.
It's so "952" – A stylish facade cannot hide the fact it's overrun with suburbanites out for their once-a-month infestation of Uptown. True urbanites have realized that Chino is a breading ground for all that's mundane and white bread. From the crowd to the food, Chino is uninspired and flat. I will admit they pour a good cocktail, if you can stomach the rows of buffons in baseball hat blocking the bar.
Am I in Minneapolis???? This place rocks – Chino is a great place to bring people from out of town, or be seen (or not) hanging out with your best friend. The food is always fresh, well priced, and there is always something new on the menu. Don't go there with an attitude, come with an open mind and a smile!
overrated and overpriced – First of all the food is good but way too expensive and the portions small for the given price. Sharing is fun but each "large" portion barely shares between two people and the smaller dishes are barely enough for one person. Half the fun of a place like this is trying a wide variety of different things and it's too expensive to do that. Second it is loud, really loud, like you literally need to shout to hear your table mates. Lastly its way over crowded, I like a busy scene but not to the point wh... read more
a good change from the norm – Overall, a very cool restaurant. Great and very loud atmosphere - the bar is especially cool, with all of its orange lights. The portions of the items we ordered seemed to be a little small though; but the menu is rather eccentric and very creative. I don't think I saw any sandwiches or burgers on the menu. Anyone coming here should know that the name is not very apparent on the outside of the restaurant, just look for the bright sparkly reflective front [on Hennepin].
What's the big deal ? – I visited Chino over the weekend (5/25) and found the food to be average and the service to be poor. Basically very similar to any other Uptown establishment that no longer has to try to retain or attract new customers. If you are a 20 something yupster looking for Ms. or Mr. "right", as in just like yourself, you will love it. If you are there to enjoy a drink, eat, and enjoy pleasant service, I'd find another place. Many of the reviews that "rave" about this place you can bet are typically younger w... read more
go at the right time! – I went after 10:30 pm on a Thursday night. The place was still loud and full of people. I can't imagine what it must be like on a Friday/Saturday during normal dinner hours. I ordered two items off of their sushi menu -- they were Excellent!! Truly. I love sushi and I eat it when I travel to cities all over the country. The sushi I had last night at Chino Latino was better than anything else I've had in Minneapolis. It was not typical/ordinary stuff. The two items were both original and extremely tast... read more
