What a gem! I visited this restaurant on a busy evening and had to wait a little for a table, but not too long. The atmosphere was lively, and the waitress was super friendly and helpful. Me and my mom ordered few things: guacamole with chips, miso soup, blackened shrimp tacos, elote flatbread and shrimp tempura crunch roll sushi. Even though it was busy, our food arrived very quickly. The guacamole was creamy with perfectly crispy chips. Miso soup was warm and comforting, not too salty. The elote flatbread was cheesy and delicious, with a unique yuzu mayo that really stood out and the shrimp tacos were packed with flavor and clearly made fresh. But the real winner? That shrimp tempura crunch roll sushi. Absolute perfection. Crispy, light, and just melted in my mouth - easily one of the best I’ve had. Highly recommend if you’re craving a mix of Mexican and Asian flavors done right!

We found our new favorite local spot for dining and drinks. Wow, what an exceptional experience. Great Service, cool atmosphere, and the food; wow, just wow! It was an explosion of flavors in every bite! We ordered a couple of items, the Spicy Chinitas Roll, man it did not disappoint, be ready for some spice. Crispy Chicken Gyoza was delightful with a crunchy edge and a soft flavorful center, this one will be one we go back for over and over. We also ordered the taco trio, and let me tell you, eat the Birria last! The Chicken and Carnitas are really good, but the Birria is exceptional. It can get a little pricey, but I did not mind because I felt like I got good portions and exceptional quality for my money.

Chinitas Tapas and Asian Fusion is an absolute gem! The food was nothing short of amazing—each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The unique blend of tapas and Asian cuisine made for an unforgettable dining experience. The service was top-notch; the staff was friendly, attentive, and really knew their menu, offering great recommendations. And let’s not forget about the happy hour—it’s hands down the best in town! With delicious drink specials and tasty bites, it’s the perfect way to unwind after a long day. I can’t wait to return to Chinitas for more culinary delights! Highly recommend! 🍽️🥢🍹

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.

My boyfriend and I couldn’t decide where or what to eat after visiting the farmers market, so we ended up choosing this spot and we’re so glad we did! He’s Asian and I’m Mexican, so we both got to enjoy some of our favorite comfort foods. It was the best decision we could’ve made, everything was absolutely delicious, and the staff was super friendly and quick. Our top picks were the birria egg rolls and the tiger roll. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back soon! 🤍

My recent visit to Chinitis Tapas & Sushi on Water Street in Henderson was nothing short of delightful. This restaurant stands out for its immaculate cleanliness, exceptional service, and mouthwatering cuisine. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the spotless dining area. The clean, well-maintained environment immediately set a positive tone for the experience ahead. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the service provided by Micah. Attentive without being intrusive, Micah offered helpful suggestions from the menu and ensured our dining experience was smooth and enjoyable. This level of personalized service truly elevated the entire meal. As for the food - simply yummy! The fusion of tapas and sushi creates a unique dining concept that delivers on flavor and presentation. Each dish arrived beautifully plated and tasted as good as it looked. The sushi was fresh, and the tapas offered creative combinations of flavors that left me eager to return and try more of their menu. If you're looking for a clean restaurant with outstanding service and delicious food in Henderson, Chinitis on Water Street is definitely worth a visit. Ask for Micah - you won't be disappointed!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

"What an amazing meal at Chinitas! We had heard good things, and they absolutely delivered a 5-star experience. The hand-rolled spicy tuna was a flavor explosion, setting a high bar from the start. My partner raved about the Wagyu burger, calling it one of the best they've ever had. Our sushi rolls were beautifully presented and tasted as good as they looked. But the unexpected highlight? The Elote ribs. They were so tender and packed with incredible Mexican-inspired flavors – a truly unique and delicious dish. Beyond the food, the service was attentive and friendly, making for a perfect evening out. We'll definitely be back!"

Overall Food Rating: 3.8 / 5 Service: 4.5 / 5 Visit Date: Monday (All-Day Happy Hour) If you're looking for a laid-back spot with solid happy hour deals and a variety of small plates to graze on, Chinitas might just be worth checking out—especially on a Monday, when happy hour runs all day. The menu is compact but well-curated, offering a mix of Japanese- and Latin-inspired bites. I started with the Shrimp Tempura Crunch Roll ($8), and it was a pleasant surprise—eight pieces of well-made sushi for the price felt like a steal. The texture and flavor were on point, making it a satisfying appetizer. Unfortunately, the Salmon Sashimi didn’t hold up to the same standard. It lacked flavor and freshness, and felt like a misstep for a dish that should highlight quality fish. I wouldn’t order it again. On the brighter side, the Chicken Gyoza were quite good. Served with a sweet and sour sauce that complemented them well, they made for a tasty and light starter. Definitely more of a nibble than a meal, though. The Smash Burger was a bit of an elevated fast-food experience: cheesy, tender meat, and flavorful overall. However, the bun didn’t quite match the quality of the patty—it was serviceable but unimpressive. Still, it's a solid choice if you're craving something a little heartier. One of the better-value dishes was the Quesabirria Tacos. For the price, you get three decently sized tacos with a flavorful consommé that was rich and savory. I’d order them again without hesitation. For dessert, I tried both the Oreo Mochi and Strawberry Mochi. The Oreo variety was the winner—sweet, satisfying, and familiar. The strawberry one tasted oddly like a non-sweet strawberry yogurt, which might work for some, but wasn’t to my taste. Service was a standout: the server was friendly, quick, and efficient, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. Final Thoughts: Chinitas is a good pick for a quick snack or a casual outing, especially if you're taking advantage of their weekday deals. While not every dish hits the mark, there are enough wins on the menu to make it worth a return visit—especially on Mondays.

The restaurant its self was very clean and cute . The miso soup was great 7/10 . The chicken tostadas 8/10 . The elote ribs 10/10 . The wings I would rate a 6/10 due to the fact I was expecting salt and pepper wings and they were very plain . The bulgogi fries were a 7/10 the spicy mayo and the bulgogi were very sweet . And the shrimp crunch roll was a 10/10 . Margaritas could have been a little stronger . Overall experience was a 9/10

Fantastic restaurants! Combining tacos and sushi...doing both to perfection. We had the taco trio, chinitas and paradise rolls and all were some of the best we've had. And Brandon's recommendations did not disappoint.

How cute is Chinitas Tapas & Sushi Resto at the Water Street District in Henderson. Fusion Restaurant & Bar & good vibes. Floral Decor throughout. Felt perfect for an afternoon lunch w/ the girls. I'm a fan of their Happy Hour. Especially an everyday Happy Hour. So glad it was recommended to try by some locals. Check out their weekly specials & weekly events too. It was my first time here. Our server Jonathan had great recommendations. & We tried a majority of them! We Shared all the Tapas. I could of just ordered my own plates, but we had to share smh lols... Jonathan took care of my group of gals. So attentive & great Recs... 5/5 Thank You Jonathan!! My HH Favorites: - Tiger Roll - Chicken Tinga Taco - Chicken Lettuce Cups Regular Menu Favorites: - House Special Cauliflower (I can just eat the whole bowl of it!) - Plain Wings w/ the Chipotle Ranch Can't wait to come back to Chinitas!

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.

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.

Absolutely love this place! It came highly recommended by a family friend, and it did not disappoint. The food was incredible--every dish we ordered was a hit! We had the birria egg rolls, fried wontons, beef bulgogi tacos, a couple of rolls, yellowtail, and the citrus sashimi--10/10 across the board! The cocktails were just as impressive. I tried the blackberry mojito and the strawberry cucumber limeade, and both were perfection--so refreshing and well-balanced. On top of the amazing food and drinks, the service was excellent, and the ambiance was great. Definitely a new favorite--can't wait to come back!

Shared a couple dishes The seafood poke nachos were fantastic. The poke was good and the wonton nachos were a treat. The bulgogi fries were also spot on. The fries were crispy outside and soft inside as they should be and the bulgogi was great. The Brussels sprouts... Foodgasm

I've seen and heard so many good things about Chinitas and was able to try it on Mother's Day. They have a nice patio that overlooks Water street and a rooftop area as well. We dined inside the restaurant close to the patio so we were able to experience the open air while eating. Our server was great. She was very attentive and provided great service. I ordered a margarita flight. My favorites were the spicy mango and strawberry. The original and prickly pear were tasty too. They have a nice selection of craft cocktails that I would love to try on future visits. For food, we ordered the potstickers as an appetizer, the kids meal with chicken strips, and the quesabirria tacos. The potstickers were delicious and a great way to start our meal. My son enjoyed the chicken strips and fries. My quesabirria tacos were good and very filling. The consome dip was perfect for dipping the tacos into. We will definitely be back to try more items off the menu. They have a good happy hour menu that I look forward to trying.

Scored pre-flight dinner during last 30 minutes of happy hour. Smash burger, taco trio and specialty rolls were excellent. Friendly hostess and waitstaff complimented easy dining atmosphere. Bookmarked this Tapas and Sushi restaurant to enjoy on next visit. East public parking surrounding this eatery. Well done

I was helped today by Jacob and he was an incredible server. He single handedly took care of the entire restaurant and it still somehow seemed like he was always at our table to help. I ordered the bulgogi tacos, elote ribs, and fries. Everything was great. The beef in the tacos was perfectly seasoned and they did not skimp on the meat! They have week day food specials from 11:30-2:00 pm as well as happy hour.

If you told me five years ago, that a restaurant like this would be located on water Street I would've told you you were crazy. I was extremely impressed with the food and the service. Brandon is a great waiter and deserves a raise.

I don't get it at all!?!?! Saw many, many raving reviews on this spot on Water Street. The place is packed inside and out. But the food is lower quality and possibly not fresh. Every Tuna item on the menu is served Spicy! Possibly to mask lower quality. Oh and if you ask for them to be made Not Spicy they will up charge you! This could be a cool concept, and Water Street District desperately needs it, but.... They are trying to do too much and are not good at much. The service started off cold. After a few moments our server got a bit more personal and attentive. Perhaps we were his first table of the evening? I can't really find it in myself to recommend this spot however but hope they get things straightened out!

We brought a candidate for a position to Chinitas as a part of their interview day and had a wonderful experience. The staff were welcoming and accommodating for our group. The space was well lite and a comfortable temperature. We sat in a booth which was roomy. The food comes out when it is ready so you may not get everything all at once. The chips for the guacamole are light and crunchy. The sushi rolls were well made. The taco trio was bursting with flavor. If you are wanting to try and place on water street I highly recommend giving Chinitas a try! Can't wait to enjoy an evening on the patio.

This was our first time at Chinitas! It was highly recommended by several people since moving to Henderson. 5 - Food / Ambiance (just a little warm in there as it's summer and the spot is a little smaller) 4.5 - One of the food runners weren't very pleasant. We only tried a couple things off 1 side of the menu so we can come back and try the other side! It was very packed, good music, good anterior design. Couple things we tried: -Birria Eggrolls (must try!) -Burger -Esquite Dip -BBQ Chicken Pizza -Margarita Flight Overall, we'll be coming back to try the sushi!

I have now visited this restaurant twice and had a good experience both times. I would say our first visit we had much better service than the last. It just seemed busy and slightly understaffed at the time. Anyways the food was delicious, on the first visit the poke nachos were the winner. However I didn't see them on the menu this last time, hoping they didn't discontinue them. The bulgogi fries were delicious and flavorful I would get them again. This last visit was for happy hour so we tried some of their sushi rolls the rainbow and tiger rolls. They were both really good and a decent price on happy hour. Then we tried the bbq chicken flatbread which was good but wouldn't get again. Over this is a cute establishment simply decorated, however it did get quite loud in the building. I am sure I'll be making more visits in the future.

First time visiting this restaurant. Met a girlfriend that had been before for an early light dinner. We were seated right away in a cute booth with the sushi bar on one side and more tables to the right. Television screens plentiful with different sports showing. Food server promptly greeted us and let us know it was ladies night beginning at 6 pm. We decided to wait the few minutes for our drinks. My friend recommended the Elole Ribs (Mexican street corn) and the beet tostada. The order came out quickly. Both were delicious. The spice level was nice. The beet tostada was my favorite. Loved the crunchiness of the taco shell and the freshness of the beet mix. For drinks I tried the mule and my friend had a basil margarita. Mine was great and she liked hers too. Then we opted for their baked Japanese lasagna sushi item. Crab with yum yum sauce. Very tasty. I'll be back to try more menu options. Food and service were excellent. Easy free parking on street or behind the restaurant.

Had dinner here recently to celebrate my cousin's birthday and overall it was a positive experience! We had a reservation so upon arrival we were immediately seated. Our waitress was sweet and very attentive. The restaurant has a modern vibe to it, ample seating indoors and out. And they also had a DJ section set up to provide for some live entertainment. A few of us ordered the salt and pepper wings, I had mine tossed in Buffalo sauce while others opted for the Chinese bbq sauce. I tried both and they were fantastic. The chicken was seasoned and battered appropriately, the wings were perfectly cooked (not burnt or dry) and the portion size was perfect to share or not. My cousin (birthday girl) ordered the cauliflower tacos and shrimp tempura crunch roll of which she enjoyed. Her son in law got a flatbread and her husband also got a roll and they too were happy (sorry no pics). I however opted for the Quesabirria tacos and I was very disappointed. It was super greasy and lacked flavor, the sauce served for dipping tasted like beef fat plus tomato paste and also was in desperate need of salt. A real bummer!!! Nevertheless, I would like to go back sometime to try some of their other menu offerings. P.S. They offer great daily specials!! Monday nights, margaritas are half off!

We came here for a quick lunch and we're very excited to try it. We had great service and I would 100% recommend coming back just for the Iberia tacos and the Mexican corn rib meat. The place had a good vibe and look like lots of events that go on the weekends.

I've had Chinitas bookmarked and on my radar for several months now, but was just waiting for the right opportunity to check it out since it's out in the Water Street District in Henderson and about 45 minutes from where we live. Well the stars finally aligned this weekend as my daughter had a soccer tournament just a few miles away! We got there around 2:30 in the afternoon on Saturday, and as we walked up immediately noticed the nice outdoor patio area. As we walked in, there was a hostess to greet us and sit us at a booth. They have a nice bar area as well as a separate section for those that want to sit down at a table or a booth. Our waiter immediately greeted us and went over the menu and happy hour specials... Yes, that is right, happy hour on a Saturday which ran from 2 to 6! Shout out to Jordan our waiter! There were several great options on the Happy Hour menu and we ordered the Wagyu slider with fries and Elote ribs for our daughter, which was a perfect portion for her. They were both amazing and while our daughter was devouring them, we ordered the Bulgogi fries from the Shareables menu and WOW was that so so good and full of incredible flavors! Reminded me of the flavors when I was in Korea. The fries were loaded with toppings and no fries were left uncovered or eaten for that matter! The only struggle we had at Chinitas was trying to decide what to order next because literally everything on the menu sounds amazing. We decided to go with some tacos, and ordered the General Tso's tacos and the Quesabirria tacos with Consome. Both selections were great, full of flavor, and turned out to be a perfect choice for us! We really enjoyed the vibe and super friendly staff. As previously mentioned, they have a large bar area and a cool patio to chill out on warmer months. They also had a DJ booth in one of the corners, which looked like it would be a fun place for later in the evenings, and an upstairs event area for larger parties and groups. We also love the many options on the menu with many delicious options to include a great variety of shareables and a full selection of sushi, wish we saw many partaking in. They also have a full bar menu. There's so many different options and they even have Sake selections! We had the Micheladas, and they were great as well! Our whole experience at Chinitas was awesome! If there was one closer to us in the northwest area, it would definitely be a regular spot of ours, but everything was so great that we will absolutely make the trek back there again and again! If you haven't tried Chinitas yet, please go and give them a shot... No matter how far you travel it will definitely be worth it!

Over the last few years, Water Street has turned into the place to be. I have tried many of the establishments, but had not previously tried Chinitas even after positive word of mouth. I finally was able to rectify that. Food Chinitas is a Asian/Mexican fusion restaurant with many different options on the menu ranging from tacos to sushi to soups. I went with the Quesabirria Tacos, which are on sale on Tuesdays. Three tacos came out with a consume dipping sauce. The tacos were delicious on their own, but the sauce added something extra. 5/5 Service We went during our lunch break at work, so we didn't have unlimited time. The restaurant was pretty busy, but they did a relatively good job at getting the items out. One party members sushi came out 20 minutes before everyone else's food, which was a little odd. 4/5 Ambiance The restaurant has a very nice warm feel when you walk in. There is an enticing bar next to the entrance and it was decorated with Christmas spirit. 5/5 Chinitas has a lot of positives and offers and unique food option for Water Street. I will be back to try some other options.

Water street is getting better and better.... I love hanging out on Water Street. Chinitas is a perfect fit. It is a fun/fusion spot and the food and service is on point! The sushi was great, got 2 rolls for $10 each before 10pm. They had real wasabi too, which I really enjoyed. The birria tacos are also fun and yummy. This is a great date spot, spot for a yummy lunch or dinner with friends! We will be back.

We really enjoyed the food at Chinitas and the service was great. We sat on the patio and were able to have our dog out there with us, which is always a plus! We had chicken wings, tacos and lots of sushi. All of the food we ordered was delicious. We didn't much enjoy the specialty cocktails on the menu, but we asked the bartender to make some manhattans and they were excellent. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the DJ was just way too loud for like 6 or 7pm. Once he started, we couldn't hear each other talk. Would definitely go back again though!

We had been to this restaurant a few times in the past and had always had a negative experience w service, but wanted to come back and try it again. We came in for just a couple apps. Everyone was very inviting. It was a slower do but a very chill environment. The food was decent. We ordered the crunch roll and some Brussel sprouts. Would come back to try some other plates.

Eating here has become a Sunday tradition. Their brunch specials are to die for... absolutely fantastic flavor in every bite. We ordered biscuits and gravy, avocado toast, chilaquiles, chicken+ waffles and more. Avocado toast comes on small toast bites with egg... amazing. Chilaquiles has the most authentic flavor and is savory. The biscuits and gravy is so good, It makes you wanna " slap your mama". The chicken and waffles are not only good because of the syrup, but the chicken is seasoned so well that every single bite makes you want more, our kid loved it. Our waiter Tyler is always wonderful, and quick to get our order/drinks. (The chef even came to the table to thank us for the compliments we gave.) Restaurant is always clean and tables set. We are seated immediately and greeted by all. Their regular menu is also amazing but is not served till after 2pm (on Sundays). And don't even get me started on how great the Sushi is... we have to wait till 11am for it.... But whatever they do.... just makes it unbelievably. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are ever on water street, worth the money and everything tases great . You will not regret it.

LOVE THIS PLACE! Just moved to the area and they have some great happy hour options. Micah was our waiter and he was very tentative and kind. Service was quick and the food is super yummy. Definitely will be coming back! My favorites are the beet tostadas and the churros!!

I went to this restaurant twice in one week with my daughter who visited from the Chicago area. Food was outstanding in flavor and appearance. The server was attentive, professional,and very friendly with the food promptly served. The ambiance was festive and inviting.

Thank you for making my birthday celebration perfect this visit! Our food and drinks were on point and delicious! Always love the ambiance and atmosphere here. Big shout to our waitress Janna who helped make my evening special and for keeping the Strawberry Thai Basil margaritas coming :) Everything was perfect thanks to her. She even came out with an ice cream dessert to sing Happy Birthday to me with my guest :) Thank you!

Love this local spot located right on Water street. It contributes to the up and coming area in all the right ways. They have an upstairs venue and its modern and trendy vibes would only elevate your event. I love their food. Sushi with a little Latin fusion. Service was great and they have a full bar with very tasty bevy's.

Mood: Date Night First this place is such a cute, casual, date night spot. When we first arrived it looked empty but once you walk in is loads of people and a DJ (Friday Night). We weren't expecting that but really was a treat. Good music. The menu and theme was Asian Mexican cushion. Different but a cool concept. Food: Trios tacos 8/10: tasty and good portion size. For sure a tapas shareable meal. We had the Al pastor and carne asada. Really good seasoning! Lasagna Roll 9/10 probably my favorite roll of the night. It had a sauce that was yummy! Baked just right with all the flavors intact. Golden Knight roll 8/10 another good roll here. Really fresh and not overwhelming with toppings. Colorful with gold and black toppings. Miami Roll: 6/10 the pineapple topping was not the taste buds I were expecting still a fresh roll. Drinks: Black berry Mojito 10/10 so delicious and refreshing. Not too minty. Very good. Pineapple & Tequilla 10/10: can't mess up a classic mix cocktail. We enjoyed it completely.

Was given a seat. Wasn't even busy. Sat for 20 mins watching football and never even offered a menu till we made our way to the door. First time getting bad service going out of the way to buy local

New to the neighborhood and saw so many good reviews bout this place so we thought you'd give it a try. Our mistake 1. bringing our pup in this heat and our mistake 2 asking to be seated out on the patio in this heat..... with that said I will continue. We got a few things on the menu: Quesabirria, my husband and I LOVE birria and it's kind of our go-to when we are hungover... We had a go to place in LA so our standards were a little high but Chinitas didn't disappoint! It felt very clean and healthy compared to the really greasy one we're used to HAHA but the flavor's there and the presentation was great! Picasso Roll: Not a huge fan of rolls but this was delicious! Yellow tail, ponzu and serranos(or jalapenos) will forever be a match made in heaven; whomever first came up with this idea is a genius. Poke Nachos: As a sushi/sashimi lover this is my guilty pleasure HAHAHA I love friend wontons with a lot of sauce and sashimi chunks. LOVED this and I almost didn't share it with my husband HAHA Seaweed salad: I don't think you can really be "wrong" about this one unless they decide to make it in-house-- refreshing and light I always get a side order of seaweed salad. I love that you can get both tacos and rolls hahaha sometimes that's what you want without traveling! I'd definitely come back to try the other items and their drinks! Definitely not going to go when it's 120 degrees with my dog and sit outside but will be back. I can't really comment on service... no one really came by but I understand, who would want to ...? I'd probably think we're insane for sitting outside with a dog during a heatwave...;; I'm glad I didn't pass out.

We came here to celebrate a milestone birthday party and were pleasantly surprised by how tasty everything was. We had a pre-planned menu that had a variety of items, I cannot speak about any specific menu items. Everything we had though would indicate that the menu items are just as good, if not better. The service was good, no complaints from anyone in our party. The room upstairs where our party was held was warm and inviting. Looks like a great place for a rehearsal dinner for a wedding. Not sure that we will ever be back in Nevada, however if we do come near here again this place is definitely worth making a detour for

This is a little hidden gem in old henderson. Water street is a cute little strip of restaurants and had the feel of vintage Vegas.! The food is incredible and the staff of great. I love their Margarita flight, their sushi and queso birria tacos! We also had their carnitas loaded fries and sliders. My husband had an old fashion and it was excellent! Highly recommend this restaurant.

I have had this tapas/Asian fusion place on my list for a while now and finally got to try it! We lucked into going on a Wednesday when they have Happy Hour all day! That means some of the drinks are cheaper, select rolls are 8$, and 5 of their main dishes are 6-8$. Of course we tried everything. That included the elote ribs, the waygu slider, pork dumplings, beet tostada, and a chicken taquito. Everything was delicious and plated to perfection. The waygu slider might have been my favorite, but it was a close race. They do have a large upstairs available for groups, weddings, and corporate parties. They also have live music a few nights a week.
