Really really good food. Every meat I've tried there has been absolutely delicious. I had it for lunch today and I'm already looking forward to the next time I'm going to have it.

This place came highly recommended and it did not disappoint! This is a hole-in-the wall super casual counter-service eatery with amazing flavors and retro decor. This place puts all its effort into the food and is worth the visit. The cookies that come with every meal are the “icing” on this yummy cake. This place is a must try if you are in this city.

Love the concept. Tasty food and pretty quick service. Ask for a sample if you are weary of trying something new! Plus you get a free snickerdoodle with your meal! Definitely coming back again and again

Very neat spot for a quick bite alone or with company. The place is clean, well lit, and has options as far as number of seating per tables so it can accommodate different size parties. Bathrooms are available for customers to use and are kept clean. Service is fast and once you place your order a waitress will bring it to your table Food is fresh, spicy, very tasty, and there are many combinations plates to chose from. You also have the option to build your own plate, bowl or burrito. They serve sodas, teas and a nice small selection of beers, which is also a definite plus !! Service is timely so even with the typical short lunch break most people get it is possible to enjoy a meal seating down. A very pleasant culinary experience. I would recommend this place without hesitation to anyone who hasn't tried it yet. Excellent spot!!!

My favorite things about Chino are their black beans and their snickerdoodles. Other dishes tend to be too greasy in my opinion. The real reason this place only gets 3 stars though is the atmosphere. The place is generally pretty dirty and kids are screaming and crawling all over the floors and tables. Hard to enjoy your meal like that. I feel like by now, with all the business they get, they ought to be able to handle some sort of remodel to make things nicer.

We saw this on Triple D. We were on our way to Sedona from Palm Springs and drove through Phx, and looked up places on our route . This place popped up, and we remember it in DDD, so we stopped in. It was so good. Trey was really cool and let us sample a few things. Very good. We got combo plates, and liked it so much that we got a to go burrito for a late night snack. Highly recommend !

I've lived in the area for about 6 years and I just now found out about this place! It is so good! I love to do the combos and get either a quesadilla or burrito with one of my proteins. Everything is cooked right and delicious. And the cookie at the end is a great treat. This has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat!

Easily one of my top 5 restaurants in the United States. I love it so dang much even now I’m debating if I should hop in my car and drive the 6 hours

The Cuban Black Beans alone are worth the 50 minute drive from my place. I miss the Chandler location, but I’ll do what I have to to get amazing food! Friendly employees. My least favorite part is that I have to fill out an order card to place my order.

Been going here for 23 years and I'm only 23. It's my all time favorite!Quick, inexpensive, and tasty. Not exactly healthy, but that's not the reason you'd want to go here.

Awesome combination of Mexican and Asian! Staff patient with newbies and questions. Have paper tickets near door you can fill out and give to cashier to make it faster, or even call in and pick up! Cookies delicious!

Great food! It has been over 20 years since I have been able to visit. The food is still delicious. Took my elderly uncle there along with my daughter. No frills here. You just come for the delicious food and the snickerdoodles to top things off!

Holy cow. This place is amazing. I'm not from the area, so this was an amazing little place. You can get Chinese, Jamaican and Mexican food in one bowl. And they can put anything in a burrito. You want Red Jade Chicken (delicious) in a quesadilla or burrito? Done. You fill out this long form, which I admit is confusing if you want to make your own bowl. You can pick 2 proteins and 2 "bases" (a selection of rice and/or beans) If you're not sure what to do, they staff will let you sample anything on the menu and walk you through the order form. It comes out really fast...and you get a free cookie! Hint: put the cookie under your bowl so the cookie is warm when you eat it. This place was so good, I will make it a point to get back here the next time I'm in Phoenix. Also, their mascot is a panda with a sombrero and a mustache.

Questions & Answers

Yes, you can order over the phone.

Always great here!

Some beers

First of all, MSG is completely safe according to the FDA and a ton of other studies. Second of all, it's no secret that the food here wouldn't be classified as health food, so any bloat you experienced is likely just due to the carbs and, since you hadn't been there in a while, our metabolisms slowing down. Lastly, it sounds like you're jumping to conclusions about why you experienced bloat after eating and are making an accusatory statement. You may want to reconsider the phrasing next time to something like, "Does this place use preservatives like MSG?"

Yes they were, I can't remember how long ago it was however when you walk in the door his picture is one of the first things you see. ☺

Thank you Katherine!

I did

Pepsi and Dr Pepper for sure. Sorry I can't list the others.

I was there the other day and they are temporarily closed. Google doesn't always update that

They don't offer delivery. However, you can order through UberEats, GrubHub, DoorDash, or similar and get it that way.
