Chinitas - Elote Ribs 10/10!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

Street parking out front. I came in and sat down at the bar. It appeared that there were 5 or 6 staff working the floor and three behind the bar. Possibly a situation with new staff. I waited for approximately 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged me and get a menu. After getting the menu I waited another 8 minutes to get a beer order in. Beer was poured well, glassware was clean. Bar top and menu were clean. I receive my food order fairly quick, however I had to flag down someone to bring me cutlery and a napkin. Food was good and appeared as described. The staff and guest seemed very nice. One observation was seeing one of the servers using his fingers to fill or position what most likely was the ginger for the sushi. Not good! If you're looking for authentic Asian cuisine or fusion of Asian cuisines, this would not be the place for you. If you're looking for something different this could be your place. read more

Chinitas - Surf & Turf Fried Rice - Sushi Bars Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

Located out in Henderson, Chinitis is an all encompassing Asian fusion cuisine, sushi, tapas and bar. The DJ at the front door is spinning hip tunes and the bar is hopping. Food here goes from tacos, sushi, rice dishes, sashimi, to Asian fusion dishes. We started with the beet tostados, wasabi aioli, watermelon radish, jalapenos and cilantro. A beautiful, fresh and light crunchy tostado with a slight sweetness of the beets. A definite must try. The three blackened shrimp tacos with spicy mayo, yuzu cilantro slaw, cilantro and pickled red onions were tasty, over-dressed with slaw but a solid. Our final selection was the King Kong roll with spicey tuna, avocado, cucumber, and covered in togarashi tuna, wasabi aioli, crispy onions and ponzu. This was tasty, multiple flavors and a bit of a bite. Chinitas is fun and serves casual Asian fusion treats. The innovation here is spot-on. The food quality is decent while the environment is light and fun. Give Chinitas a try with friends after work or family members, I'm sure you will find a combo that makes your taste buds dance. read more

Stopped by for a quick drink and snack but omg that beet tostada was so yummy. Will definitely be back for that alone. I keep thinking about it. Happy hour pricing is so reasonable. Service was prompt and the ambiance was festive while watching football. Great place and can't wait to check out other menu items soon. read more

Do not go to Chinitas alone! The service was terrible but the food was good. I didn't have anything to eat with when food came out and the check took twice as long as I saw for another table. I would not recommend even though the photos are cute of the outside. It was incredibly loud where even if I was with another person, I wouldn't be able to hear them. read more

Wifey and I decided to check out a Desert Dogs game and heard good things about Chinitas. So figured it's tapas and sushi, we can get some little things before the game. First, give yourself time to park. Water Street can be a little hard to find parking at times. Nothing that the restaurant has to do with. The food was good. Nothing crazy exciting, but good. We got some lettuce wraps, some rolls, steak frittes and some nigiri. Wasn't very fusion to me. Different cuisines yes. But no fusion as far as combining flavors. Service: Service was good. Nothing super memorable but nothing bad at all. Which I'll take over bad service any day. Ambiance: Small little place. Cozy. 2 top tables are pretty small. So don't order to much at once. It won't all fit. All in all, just kinda average. We live pretty far, so unless friends want to go, will probably try somewhere different on Water St. next time. read more

We have friends who live in Vegas, and we are honestly very upset that after years of visiting them, they are just now showing us Chinitas, because this place is so good. They have a huge menu, which I'm typically not a fan of, but we tried a little bit of everything and every single bite was delicious. Needless to say, we also ordered every dessert item on the menu, and trust me, you will not be disappointed. This is an all-around great restaurant with good service, a good environment, and a menu where there is absolutely something for everyone. Love this place and would definitely come back! read more

I'm not one to just throw around five stars. This place has earned it. Not only from this trip alone but every other time I've came here as well. I've dined in and ordered pick up and am always met with great, friendly customer service. The vibe in here is always right, during the day and at night. My family has normally main dishes off the menu but this last visit we just happened to pull up during happy hour so we indulged in small plates and they were all delicious! Like literally all of them. My wife got a plethora of sushi and every roll was as delicious as it looked. Our server John was awesome so I have to give him a shoutout. Great place will be back soon. read more

Fun dine in experience at Chinitas! Walked in and we were sat at a booth. The music was a fun lively volume with a good upbeat mix of songs. Our server, Dennis, was attentive and friendly. We ordered two sushi rolls (Spicy Tuna Crunch & King Kong), blackened shrimp tacos (added cheese) and chips with guacamole (ask for a side of salsa). The food was great, good portions and very fresh. The chips were a tad stale but next time I would just ask for fresh chips for the order. There's an upstairs space for events so could definitely see how an event could be super cool for a venue. Will definitely be back! read more

Stopped by again after a while and noticed they changed their happy hour menu. Monday happy hour is all day and Tuesday through Sunday it runs from 2 PM to 6 PM. They also have daily specials like $5 sushi on Wednesdays. I like the booths and they have really nice bathrooms. The churros are still one of my favorites even though they changed them a little. They used to give you more berry sauce, but thankfully you can ask for extra. I definitely need to come here more often. read more

This one's tricky... and I'll tell you why. Upon arrival, on a Saturday afternoon (beginning of happy hour) it wasn't busy, but as you can imagine, I walked in with 3 groups behind me. The hostess wasn't in her station, I get it, downtime, but the bartenders watching the door didn't greet with a smile either. I felt ignored.. hostess seen the crowd of people and moved quickly. She sat us one at a time, felt a little more inviting, and I was greeted by my waiter, Johnathon. He is the reason I turned my frown upside down. Him and the food :) holy moly!!! Wow. My favorite item was the beet tostada but EVERYTHING was delicious. The chicken tinga tostada was full of flavor. Everything smacked. I'm very impressed. I will be back. Hopefully with a better smart. read more

Ordered one Thai Daisy and somehow ended up with a few... zero regrets! My husband's spicy mango mule was so good he's still talking about it. We started in the dining room with the great and super attentive Violet, who was lovely, but my back quickly voted "no" on the booths, totally not her fault. Not sure why they have the center of the back rest protruding out, very uncomfortable. We moved to the bar where Matt took great care of us, one of the best decisions of the night! Brussels sprouts had a serious kick but were insanely good and were extremely addictive. The Taco Trio was unreal, every....single....one. Closed it out with the Wagyu sliders and fries, which were both just as amazing. read more

This place was a bit inconspicuous to find as I went upstairs first but realized they are downstairs overlooking water street. Place is a good size, decorated nicely, and has great staff. Food is Wonderful. 10/10. I got the "taco's" and got the mini beet tostada's. It was mini corn shells that taste homemade, beautiful golden beets, a horseradish drizzle and pickled red onions. I could have easily eaten 10. I also had the crispy Brussels sprouts which had a sweet start but finished with a nice spice/heat. They were so amazing I didn't want it to end. I also enjoyed chips and guacamole, spicy edamame, and a few rolls off my friend's plate which was avocado and tuna. Everything I ate was so good and I cannot wait to come back for more. Next time I hope to try to corn ribs and the crispy cauliflower. But I will never ever not get the beet tostada's read more

Visited Chinitas on 2/14 for a quick brunch. Ordered the carnitas fries, birria egg rolls, and salmon and lemon sushi roll (forgot the specific name). The food tasted delicious and paired well with the drink I got. Since it was Valentine's Day, the venue was hosting a Galentine's event in the patio and also had a DJ. Everything was nicely decorated, and I even heard the DJ state song requests were free, a nice touch. Service was quick, and everything tasted delicious. Will definitely have to frequent Chinitas a bit more and keep an eye out for the events they are having. read more

Chinitas - Surf and turf fried rice - Sushi Bars Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

When people ask me for restaurant recommendations, this spot is always at the top of my list. I love the vibes here, especially with the live music. It's one of my favorite places to come with a group of girlfriends. There are fun little games outside, so I usually like to sit out there and hang out. This place is great for both brunch and dinner--I've been here for food and drinks at different times, and it never disappoints. The drinks are awesome, and the staff is always super nice and friendly. I've never had to wait long, which is a huge plus. Whether you're coming for a date night or a ladies' brunch, this place is a great choice and always a good time. read more

My AC went out and I left to grab a bite while maintenance worked on it. Already a bit stressed but wanted good food! So Glad I came here - The service is always great but the server Johnathan was warm , welcoming just fantastic! For being the only server during lunch/happy hour today he made sure to attend and take care of all his customers tables. He was on it , didn't show any stress with a smile, professional and polite! He was such a great server - the kind you miss having who actually like their jobs. Food was delicious had the shrimp tempura and tinga tostadas and la casa marg! So good! I'll be back for the food but for service from Johnathan also. read more

On a whim we decided to go on a Monday after learning they have all day happy hour on Mondays. We arrived around 1:30 pm and it wasn't busy at all! Feels more like a sports bar, but it wasn't too loud. There are TV's all around to watch games and nice outdoor seating area. We received a friendly greeting, seated at a booth, and got the run down on all the specials. We ordered a number of things: Chicken lettuce cups: I wasn't expecting the chicken to be served cold, but it was very good. Salt & Pepper wings: Very tasty and crispy Blackened shrimp tacos: Flavorful Shrimp fried rice: amazingly good, jumbo shrimp, and enough to share The price point was perfect. We will be back! read more

Wow, creative drink and food menu. Hubs loved his Chicken Tinga Happy Hour Tostadas, and I devoured my Beet Tosadas. Draft beer and a special cocktail rounded out our first Happy Hour here. They were busy just after 4pm on Friday. Jonathan was fabulous as our server, and we found out this is a sister restaurant to Sonrisa Grill in Lake Las Vegas. Located on Water Street, we had easy street parking. They had a vegan sushi roll and a few other things for me to try, many dishes (and libations!) which looked good to the hubs for next time. read more

That was good! We ordered almost everything on the Happy Hour menu. The white and the red Sangria's were both very good. Crunch roll - my favorite of the entire order. Smash burger - he said was good. Gyoza (sauce was great) and wontons were good. Lettuce wraps were tasty. Chicken tostadas had too much lime for me. About $50 and fed 3 of us. Fast and friendly service. We will return! read more

Here at Chinitas on Water Street, you will find a mixed fusion of Japanese and Mexican food. We walked in and we were seated right away, where a live DJ was present on the outdoor patio. Reservations are recommended during peak hours, but that didn't matter to us since we got here later in the night. Kyle and I have had sushi on our minds for a while now and we immediately looked at the sushi menu. But first, we decided to share an appetizer of birria eggrolls, which were topped with cilantro and pickled onions. These were really good! Whenever we go to a Japanese restaurant, Kyle always orders a thing of nigiri on the side along with his sushi. Nigiri is a sometimes kind of dish for me because I'll never know how many sushi rolls I'll get, and I'm that someone who gets full easily. I ordered the Hawaiian Roll and Kyle ordered the Baka Roll, along with the salmon nigiri. The first and last Hawaiian Roll on my plate had a crunchy shrimp tail attached on one side, which ended up adding more of that fishy flavor to it. The Baka Roll came with a thing of noodles and was topped with I believe were crunchy onions, drizzled with numerous sauces. Before we left, I went to go use the restroom and they were very clean, although I did have some trouble locking the stall door at first. A clean restroom is something that I always expect when I visit a restaurant. If you're a happy hour fan, Monday is definitely the best day to be here, as they have this all day on Monday's. They are also making a difference during the month of September, where if one buys the Teal Drink, a portion of its' proceeds will go to the NOCC (National Ovarian Cancer Coalition), as September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. read more

Chinitas happy hour SLAPS! I was really impressed by the quality of ingredients, friendly service, and all-around vibe of this place. I came with some friends on a Wednesday and it was poppin'! The menu is diverse and a few of the fusion food concepts work really well, like the Bulgogi Fries. I was skeptical, but they are actually AMAZING. Highly recommend! We ordered several sushi rolls for the table to share, family style. Everything was great; Tiger Roll was my favorite. I will definitely be coming here again! read more

Located in the Water Street District. Food was great service was a complete meltdown. Seated right away during happy hour on 3.13.26. First timer not off to a good start. Waiters and Waitress's passed by back our and forth our table and no one asked if we have been helped Until Shana walked over and saved the day as we were getting ready to leave. Shana was great very service oriented and in my opinion very diligent and pays attention to what is going on in the restaurant. Thank you again Shana read more

We loved this place. We came here based on Yelp reviews. So glad that we did! Recommendations: Wagyu Burger (tastiest burger I've ever tasted) Surf and Turf fried rice with shrimp and Rib eye steak. We did not try the sushi but it looked amazing! Teenager friendly. Good ambience. Servers are pleasant and engaging. Steven H was our guy. Said he was new, but acted like a veteran! Tip of the cap to him. read more

Chinitas - Surf and turf fried rice! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

We decided to try this spot based on the strong Yelp reviews, and overall the food definitely lived up to the hype. We ordered a good variety: General Tso's chicken tacos, poke nachos, birria egg rolls, surf & turf fried rice, wagyu sliders with fries, salmon nigiri, and spicy scallop hand rolls. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared--no complaints on the food side at all. The ambiance was a big plus. The place was clean, had a great vibe, and there was a DJ playing good music which added to the experience. You can also walk by a window and see into the kitchen, which was a nice touch. Where things fell short was the service. When we walked in, there wasn't much of a greeting and it took a bit to get seated. After that, it felt like we were waiting quite a while at each step--getting greeted, ordering drinks, and then placing our food order. The food itself came out in a reasonable time. The staff was friendly throughout, but it seemed like our server was stretched too thin. One small detail, but worth noting--no ramekins were provided for soy sauce or wasabi with the sushi, which felt a bit unusual. The total came out to around $175, and at that price point, I'd expect a smoother experience from start to finish. Overall, great food and atmosphere, friendly staff, but inconsistent service. Not sure I'd go back. read more

Service and atmosphere were both solid. Parking can be a challenge since it's mostly street parking in the water district. Our server was friendly, attentive, and checked in on us often. The bathroom was also clean and well-kept, which I appreciated. The food looked appealing, but the quality didn't fully match the presentation. The tacos and the chicken and beet tostadas were the highlights--fresh and flavorful. However, the other appetizers on the happy hour specials fell short. Particularly, the corn ribs in particular didn't work for me, as the sauces were overly sweet. Overall, it was an okay experience. While not everything hit the mark, there's enough potential here that I'd give it another try, mainly for the dishes I enjoyed. read more

This place is great! I ordered a yellowtail cut roll (among other items) and they actually use real yellowtail!

Known for its tapas and sushi, Chinitas brings a Mexican and Asian vibe. The bar line was a bit disorganized but the bartenders poured it well. I got a strawberry cucumber limeade that was super refreshing to balance out the bold flavors of the food. Out of the apps, the pork wontons were super crispy and flavorful with a sweet spicy and sticky sauce drizzle are worth coming back for. The churros had good flavor but were a bit oily and overfried. The decor is great and definitely Instagrammable for this who want it. read more

We ordered a couple rolls spicy garlic edamame and the Elote corn ribs and everything was amazing.

Service was great! We got seated right away and our server was very attentive. We came in during happy hour on Monday (ALL DAY BTW) and ordered off both the happy hour and regular menu. The resturant was pretty big and could accommodate a lot of people and great ambiance. Food: Salmon poke 10/10: SOO MUCH FLAVOR and it comes w a good amount of fish. I would def order it again. It was fresh bc of the yuzu sauce but also creamy because of the spicy mayo. So delicious! Lettuce chicken cups (happy hour menu) 7/10: these had a peanuty taste and I enjoyed it! But nothin overly special. Chicken tinga tostada 5/10 (HH menu) these were okay. The sauce a bit too sweet for me but they really did pack the chicken on!! Chicken taquitos 7/10: good flavor and it wasn't dry! I enjoyed them. Overall the salmon poke was def a stand out. Can't wait to go back to try their other dishes! read more

Came here to celebrate my friends wedding. We had the entire patio all to ourselves. When we first arrived, we walked right on the patio and they had misters running. It was hot so that was perfect. It cooled down the whole area. The seating was a bit tight but we made it work. The inside of the restaurant was pretty good in size. Definitely a spot I would come back to dine at. Food: Lasagna Sushi Chicken Wings Shrimp Taco Bacon Wrapped Shrimp The Lasagna Sushi and Wings were delicious. The shrimp taco was also yummy but the tortilla wrap kept breaking. It was very thin. Lastly, I had some bacon wrapped shrimp and oh my, I had 2 of them. I enjoyed the food so much that Imma be sure to return. Overall, the server was friendly and nice.

Came here for late lunch on a Friday. NOTE: We wanted to sit outside. Not anyone's fault but both of us got bit by mosquitoes or something We walked in and were greeted and walk outside and sat. It was just us and another 2 ladies at another table. Inside had more ppl. It was nice and quiet outside. There's a HH that starts at 2pm. It was already 1:40pm so I waited to order a drink. The awesome thing was some of the items marked with an L means you can order them by end of lunch, which is 2pm, and get it at a reduced lunch price for the same size at the regular item. We scored a few good items at the lunch price. I enjoyed all the food orders. The wings were different. I thought they were gonna be more salt and pepper like. Still good to enjoy. Wagyu sliders were also good. But I have to admit, not sure they were Wagyu. Still enjoyable. The toro, a must order. 2 pieces $17 but to us, worth it! Spicy tuna roll, $10, good for the price. The salmon skin salad was different, good, great flavors. It does have a kick of spicy so be aware. My $5 HH sangria was nice all around. Service was good as well waitress, although seeming overwhelmed as she's running to help inside and outside customers, was very attentive. Local spot and we will be back. There are different specials on top of lunch and HH, worth a stop in read more

My girlfriend and I were visiting some friends in the Water Street area and decided to hang out in this area because we don't live anywhere near this part of town. First order of business was looking for food and we stumbled across Chinitas. We looked at their reviews on Yelp ;) and then decided we'd dine here too. Serendipitously it was Happy Hour when we came in so that allowed us to try more of their items. Tried the Spicy Tuna Roll, Wagyu Burger, Elote Ribs, Bulgogi Fries, and Chicken Lettuce Cups. It came out in this order too. I actually don't mind when the food comes out as it's done versus all together. My favorite item was the Wagyu Burger. And my only critique is that the chicken salad was served on four pieces of lettuce versus just two. The fillings were spilling over as I was trying to bring it to my mouth and take a bite. I included pictures of all the dishes we ate and labeled em as well. TLDR: It's a five star. Would come again. Quick service. Nice ambiance. Tasty food. read more

Whomever was working on Monday 7/27/26 wanted to go home and didn't want to abide by her own words ... the first girl said we will seat you in a moment and then a different woman came up and said the last seating was at 8:45 ... WE walked in at 8:34 while she was saying this ... hence the reason for the one star and how it just takes common sense to know when you are not welcomed. Just go to Biscuits and Bourbon where they will take you with open arms. read more

They have updated the lighting and removed the flowers from the dining room. There was a themed line dance event upstairs. It's nice they are keeping things fresh. We ordered both sushi and kitchen items. First the sushi roll came, a few minutes later the kitchen items arrived, the nigiri items were missing. However, the service was not good today. No silverware, no one came to the table to check on us so I had to get our own silverware from the service station. I had to ask the server to bring the nigiri, it was sitting up on the service counter for pickup, after we had eaten the sushi roll and the kitchen items. He then stopped at four more tables before bringing the nigiri. And that's only happened after he caught glimpse of our table having completed our meal and waiting for the nigiri. Was the food good? Yes. It's it clean inside? Yes. And I've been here several times, today was subpar service. I was greatly disappointed. Maybe it was an off day for our server but it wasn't good service. read more

What's not to love here?! Seriously, this is a favorite spot for Henderson diners for a reason; several actually. There is so much good to say about this place. Where to begin??? The service probably stands out the most. I have been here many times, with different people for different events and have had EXCELLENT service everytime. That's says alot about the Heart of a business. Food....delicious and relatively affordable. They have a nice happy Hour. My favorites are the Vegan Beet Tostatas and Vegan veggie sushi. There are lots of options to accommodate many different food preferences. They have a nice patio that you can use when the weather is nice. The upstairs!!! So fun! Great energy. They have Karaoke nights here that are seriously super fun. You can rent the upstairs for private events. Check in with the staff or online for details. Check out the calendar. They are always doing something fun here. Definitely a STAR on Water street. read more

So the food here is good, fresh and different. I would have returned for that. But I'm having a hard time after holding an event there. Their event space is beautiful, I will give them that, but the way we were pushed out and treated at the end and the fact that we didn't get to enjoy the food for half of the food service time we were supposed to.. I'm still mad about that. We were told that we would have food service for 90 minutes. They didn't tell us that the food was ready until 45 mins in, so we only had service for 45 mins. And they didn't start clearing it at the 90 mins, they did so before and it was all gone by the time the 90 was up. Then at the end, we were basically told to get out, they needed us out of there. We weren't "enjoying" the space longer than we should, we were cleaning up and were told they needed us to leave because the event was over, very standoffish and rudely. I've been to plenty of events where they ask you to leave at the end, but never in that manner. With the money we spent to hold this event, I was mad and disappointed by the time it was done and still fume about it months later. Which makes me mad that I spent my money there and didn't go elsewhere. It took away from our family event and this is the memory I have of it now. After the fact, we wish we hadn't done it there. Would've been less expensive too. The food is good, but if you want to hold an event here, beware. read more
