I have been going to Chino since they opened. The quality of the food has changed over the years, the blackberry mohito martini has less puree than it used to, and it caters more the the suburb crowd but it stil is Chino Latino. They need to open up locations in SF, Chicago, and NYC if you ask me.
The service can be touch and go but what I have learned is that the severs are trained to be sassy, and sometimes they get too busy to provide five star service but I have never had terrible service. They are fun and they will interact with your group. We bring groups in often on weeknights and the service tends to be a little more attentive. Make sure you try the specialty drinks, and don't be afraid to share.
Things to try:
Salt And Pepper Shrimp now known as Chino Style Shrimp Feast
Queso Fundido
Elote
Shrimp Curry
Mushi Beef
Black Laab
Smores
Volcano Cup
Pros: No other resturant like it
Cons: Loud and hard to get a table on the weekends

We have eaten several times at this location with no problems what so ever. Recently they started delivering to my area, and let me tell you we have ordered 5 times already in the last month! All of the deliveries we've had have been awesome, food hot & delicious...If they deliver to your area I don't know why you would ever go with anyone else.
Pros: Wide ranging menu
Cons: Often full

Went there for my birthday with my wife and another couple. We booked early so we could catch the PHilharmonic afterward. Service was polite and prompt. Our server was very knowledgable about the food and the wine and one of the chefs Warren, I think his name was, came and asked about our meal and we asked for suggestions for dessert and wine and he was spot on with his suggestions. We will definaitely celebrate here again. We also had a pleasant time and our food was timely enough for us to get to our other appointment with time to spare. A great start to a great evening, definitely worth the price.

This is the most fun location to go if you are into Jazz/Blues. Here's a place you can go in Uptown, eat, and stay for the entertainment. The service was good. There was a huge line-up but they still got us in and seated in less than 20 min. Super service! The wait staff was super on top of everything. No complaints!
Pros: Fun fun!
Cons: none

I've been eating here since it was still located on Nicollet Mall (until Target tore it down.) People who just order noodles and rice, as noted in other reviews, might be disappointed.
If you don't play it "safe" you will be rewarded: (I always order the shrimp where available, they are huge, plump, and tender) 1. Holy Basil Sauce with beef, ask for no mushroom, just onion, the mushrooms wash out the flavor. Very hot and one of the best meals I've ever had. Beef is tender and semi shredded. 2. Roasted Hot Pepper Sauce with cashews, peanuts, and shrimp. Sweet and hot, the shrimp are great. 3. Thai-Style Sweet and Sour with batter-fried shrimp. A smokey sweet sauce, probably the best sweet and sour I've ever had. 4. Tom Yum - clear tangy soup with shrimp, the best Tom Yum in town. Very spicy, very crisp and clean flavor. Most Thai restaurants don't push the flavors enough when making a Tom Yum, they make it weak for Minnesota tastes. 5. The curries are great, can't remember which i had last time but very solid.
I prefer to eat in the bar area, though dining room is a tad more formal. Make reservations normally, it gets busy. Trust me on those dishes, I don't think you will be disappointed.
Pros: If you know what to order, best Thai in Minneapolis
Cons: A little more expensive then it used to be, but after I'm done eating, I have no regrets.

SOME OF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THAT RESTAURANTS ARE PUBLIC PLACES! THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE BUSY/NOISY/CROWED AND FULL IF U GO OUT ON A FRIDAY, SATURDAY OR SUNDAY NIGHT. EVEN DURING THE WEEK..MAYBE THEY DONT HAVE ENOUGH SERVERS ON THE CLOCK AND THATS WHY U SEE TABLES OPEN AND U R WAITING TO BE SEATED. BUT PLEASE, IT IS A PUBLIC PLACE...UNDERSTAND THAT! NOT EVERYTHING CAN BE PERFECT ALL THE TIME...SO IF U HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT IT! LET THE MANAGER KNOW BEFORE U LIVE THE RESTAURANT AND DONT CALL BACK A WEEK LATER SAYING THE FOOD WASNT HOT ENOUGH!
Pros: GREAT FOOD/GOOD SERVICE
Cons: CROWED/BUSY/NOISY (IT IS A RESTAURANT!!!!!!!!!!)
