Chino Grande

"The menu keeps the spirit of New York’s old-school Chino Latino restaurants alive. There’s ceviche, chicharrón with fermented chile paste, congee croquettes, pork wonton caldo, and so much more. This Williamsburg restaurant from a co-owner of Win Son also bills itself as a “karaoke saloon” (starting at 10 p.m. on weekdays, and 11 p.m. on weekends)." - Eater Staff

"The food at Chino Grande could be just okay, and the Williamsburg birthday celebrators would still fill up the green leather booths to wait their turn for after-dinner tableside karaoke. But the Chino Latino-inspired food also happens to be birthday-worthy, like a mountain of sizzling black pepper beef and a milk bread crab toast (a cross between shrimp toast and crab rangoon) that’s so rich you might actually utter the words “oh, sh*t” after your first bite. It’s everything you need to begin an evening that will likely devolve into a touching rendition of Nelly Furtado’s “Promiscuous” in between swigs of Henny Colada. If you're strictly looking for platters of Chino Latino classics, consider going to one of these spots instead. But if you're in need of a celebration that might involve two types of chicharrones, make a reservation on the later side (8:30pm or 9pm), start your meal with the sauce caddy (plantain chips and three sauces), and then get comfortable—there’s a good chance you’ll be here all night. photo credit: Ben Hon photo credit: Ben Hon" - Willa Moore

"Chino Grande, a laid-back 'karaoke saloon,' opened by Win Son co-owner Josh Ku in 2022, is switching things up. Now, the menu — originally designed by Paul Cacici of Decades Pizza — has received an overhaul from Christine Lau, the executive chef at Kimika, the restaurant where she gained a nod as semifinalist for Best New Restaurant for the James Beard Awards. The new menu leans into Chino-Latino cuisine." - Emma Orlow

"This spot less than a block from Bedford Ave serves Indian-Chinese mashups like tandoori kung bao chicken and Darjeeling hakka lo-mein, and the most expensive thing on the menu is $16. The big, colorful space has pop art on the walls and bunch of large tables, as well as $25 towers of draft beer. In other words, it should work well for that group dinner your friends have been planning and canceling for months. (Just make sure it actually happens this time.)" - bryan kim, matt tervooren

"For dinner, Chino Grande — from a Win Son co-owner — serves up dinner plates meant to share like swordfish skewers, beef tartare with nori, and fried chicken with coconut ranch. If things are going well, stay past 10 p.m. when the restaurant turns into a “karaoke saloon” and devolves into a debaucherous party of sorts." - Emma Orlow
