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 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

Absolutely Love Chinita's! I absolutely LOVE Chinita's! The variety of food is incredible--you get the best of both worlds with Mexican and Asian options, and everything is so well done. The sushi is out of this world amazing--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared every time. And the customer service? Always 110%! The staff truly makes you feel welcome, like you're part of the family. You honestly cannot go wrong here. It's one of those places you keep coming back to again and again. Highly recommend to everyone! 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

My boyfriend and I came here for the first time because we were working at America first drink and we absolutely loved it. We ordered a couple rolls spicy garlic edamame and the Elote corn ribs and everything was amazing. We sat at the bar on the corner where there weren't machines and we had the amazing bartender Jonathan. Jonathan made the best drinks and had the best service. The inside is just like a cute little bar set up with gaming, but very nice open and indoor. 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

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

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 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

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

Tasty dishes, similar to a twin-kitchen both Latin and Asian influence. Friendly and attentive service with minimal waiting. Nice seating and ambiance throughout, sit near the bar for prompt beverage service. Haven't tried the outdoor patio but it is North, so well shaded. Will return for the food and drinks and definitely recommend this restaurant for casual dining. Bonus: Daily Happy Hour specials and seating to accommodate pets. 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

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

Don't host events at this place. We had a party there and ordered a party package of food for our guests. Can you believe they didn't refill our food?? That we paid for? The manager was not transparent with times we could set up for the event trying to cut corners. Such a slimey place, we paid good money to host our event here and they cheapened out on our food. My question is if we paid for it where did it go??? Food was decent that's why it's 2 stars but don't come here for events. SHADY. 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

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

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

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. She took care of all of our drink orders. The guest ticket system was strange but it worked. read more

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

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

Fusion? More like con-fusion. Chinitas is a restaurant on Water Street in Henderson that has "combined the savory flavors of Mexican and Asian cuisine" per their website. It looks like they've also incorporated a sports bar vibe as well as a country night. The parking lot in the back had ample space when I showed up during Friday happy hour. Although I didn't get any entrees or tacos, I did try quite a variety of items. Unfortunately, most of them just weren't that satisfying. Chicken Tinga Tostadas ($5.00 HH): actually one of the better dishes overall, with toppings that all make sense in my mouth. What didn't quite work was how the chicken was not shredded very finely, so it ended up being a chore to finish the process of biting. Crispy Pork Wontons ($6.00 HH): I didn't get it. The wontons were crispy, but the pork was barely noticeable. The sweet and sour sauce leaned heavily toward sweet, and the overall flavor profile just didn't taste like anything I've had in Mexican or any Asian cuisine. Chicken Lettuce Cups ($5.00 HH): another unexpected surprise, in a negative way. I'm not sure what to expect from bang bang sauce, but I didn't want a sauce reminiscent of peanut butter in an overly sweet way. With the fresh toppings and ingredients, it would have been a home run with a better sauce. Elote Ribs ($5.00 HH): another miss. The underlying corn was a little too mushy and wasn't salted at all. For the "ribs" on the bottom layer, the mayo and cotija didn't cover all of the corn up as you would expect in elote, which exposed the underlying issues. The gimmick would have worked with better execution. House Special Cauliflower ($10.00): our lone pick that wasn't on the happy hour menu. Our server recommended this over brussels sprouts, and I can say now that I regret allowing that question. The cauliflower was just too soft and grainy, not a good meat replacement. The sweet and spicy sauce was actually pretty enjoyable, but the dish was already lost by that point. The Sashimi ($8.00 HH) dishes were a mixed bag. They all come with ponzu sauce, a bit of serrano pepper, and some shredded daikon. The yellowtail wasn't bad, but the bluefin was among the more boring and bland bites of raw tuna which I've had. The California ($6.00 HH) and Rainbow Roll ($13.00 HH) were just fine, nothing exceptional. They felt a bit overly wet thanks to however they prepared the rice. You can get comparable if not better quality rolls from most if not all local all-you-can-eat sushi restaurants. I thought I was getting really full by the end, but it was just a reaction to subpar food. Chinitas might be the kind of place where having alcohol is mandatory to distract you from the preparation of the food. Based on the hype, I expected something on par with the halcyon days of Soho Japanese Restaurant, but instead I got what's most likely going to be a first and final visit. read more

I enjoyed my time here. I made a reservation over the phone and the young man I spoke to was very polite and friendly but somehow that reservation got lost. I even asked him about a confirmation over the phone or thru text and he said no need. Well....luckily we were still able to get seated right away on a Saturday afternoon. I started with a delicious margarita. I'm pretty sure it was the ginger berry. It was light and refreshing. I then realized it was still happy hour and switched to their house margarita where you can quickly taste the difference but with how crazy prices are now-a-days, I had to get at least one happy hour drink. We started with the Birria Eggrolls. This was my favorite dish. I would come here just for those. Delicious. I then ordered the surf and turf fried rice. This dish is huge. Get it to share. I didnt love it. My ribeye was super fatty, shrimp lacked flavor, and I like my egg mixed in as well as a runny one on top for an extra bonus. Having a happy hour on a Saturday in the dinning area as well as bar area, killer appetizer, killer margarita options, and a DJ playing fun tunes will make me come back for sure. read more

The last time I went to Chinitas, we really enjoyed to food, so we decided to go back for more. Well, the food was no where close to being as good as it was the last time. The pot stickers look like pre-made, store bought. You get 5 to am order, and they are TINY. Looks like children size! Not ordering this again. The salt and pepper chicken wings were tiny, tasteless (no salt or pepper! ), overcooked, and dry! Not ordering this one again either. The House Special Cauliflower sauce tasted good, but the Cauliflower was overcooked and mushy. Again, not ordering this one. We also had some sushi, which was good. So the theme here is TAPAS, so smaller plates. But, the smaller plates should be at a slightly smaller price, but it's full price for small plates. I'm disappointed that the food was not up to par this time. read more
