    Steak Frittes, Garlic Tuna, Toro, Shrimp tempura roll
    Jay S.

    Wifey and I decided to check out a Desert Dogs game and heard good things about Chinitas. So figured it's tapas and sushi, we can get some little things before the game. First, give yourself time to park. Water Street can be a little hard to find parking at times. Nothing that the restaurant has to do with. The food was good. Nothing crazy exciting, but good. We got some lettuce wraps, some rolls, steak frittes and some nigiri. Wasn't very fusion to me. Different cuisines yes. But no fusion as far as combining flavors. Service: Service was good. Nothing super memorable but nothing bad at all. Which I'll take over bad service any day. Ambiance: Small little place. Cozy. 2 top tables are pretty small. So don't order to much at once. It won't all fit. All in all, just kinda average. We live pretty far, so unless friends want to go, will probably try somewhere different on Water St. next time.

    I'm not one to just throw around five stars. This place has earned it. Not only from this trip alone but every other time I've came here as well. I've dined in and ordered pick up and am always met with great, friendly customer service. The vibe in here is always right, during the day and at night. My family has normally main dishes off the menu but this last visit we just happened to pull up during happy hour so we indulged in small plates and they were all delicious! Like literally all of them. My wife got a plethora of sushi and every roll was as delicious as it looked. Our server John was awesome so I have to give him a shoutout. Great place will be back soon.

    We have friends who live in Vegas, and we are honestly very upset that after years of visiting them, they are just now showing us Chinitas, because this place is so good. They have a huge menu, which I'm typically not a fan of, but we tried a little bit of everything and every single bite was delicious. Needless to say, we also ordered every dessert item on the menu, and trust me, you will not be disappointed. This is an all-around great restaurant with good service, a good environment, and a menu where there is absolutely something for everyone. Love this place and would definitely come back!

    Fun dine in experience at Chinitas! Walked in and we were sat at a booth. The music was a fun lively volume with a good upbeat mix of songs. Our server, Dennis, was attentive and friendly. We ordered two sushi rolls (Spicy Tuna Crunch & King Kong), blackened shrimp tacos (added cheese) and chips with guacamole (ask for a side of salsa). The food was great, good portions and very fresh. The chips were a tad stale but next time I would just ask for fresh chips for the order. There's an upstairs space for events so could definitely see how an event could be super cool for a venue. Will definitely be back!

    Churros

    Stopped by again after a while and noticed they changed their happy hour menu. Monday happy hour is all day and Tuesday through Sunday it runs from 2 PM to 6 PM. They also have daily specials like $5 sushi on Wednesdays. I like the booths and they have really nice bathrooms. The churros are still one of my favorites even though they changed them a little. They used to give you more berry sauce, but thankfully you can ask for extra. I definitely need to come here more often.

    Crispy Beet Tostadas
    Amber M.

    This place was a bit inconspicuous to find as I went upstairs first but realized they are downstairs overlooking water street. Place is a good size, decorated nicely, and has great staff. Food is Wonderful. 10/10. I got the "taco's" and got the mini beet tostada's. It was mini corn shells that taste homemade, beautiful golden beets, a horseradish drizzle and pickled red onions. I could have easily eaten 10. I also had the crispy Brussels sprouts which had a sweet start but finished with a nice spice/heat. They were so amazing I didn't want it to end. I also enjoyed chips and guacamole, spicy edamame, and a few rolls off my friend's plate which was avocado and tuna. Everything I ate was so good and I cannot wait to come back for more. Next time I hope to try to corn ribs and the crispy cauliflower. But I will never ever not get the beet tostada's

    Shrimp Tempura Crunch Roll

    This one's tricky... and I'll tell you why. Upon arrival, on a Saturday afternoon (beginning of happy hour) it wasn't busy, but as you can imagine, I walked in with 3 groups behind me. The hostess wasn't in her station, I get it, downtime, but the bartenders watching the door didn't greet with a smile either. I felt ignored.. hostess seen the crowd of people and moved quickly. She sat us one at a time, felt a little more inviting, and I was greeted by my waiter, Johnathon. He is the reason I turned my frown upside down. Him and the food :) holy moly!!! Wow. My favorite item was the beet tostada but EVERYTHING was delicious. The chicken tinga tostada was full of flavor. Everything smacked. I'm very impressed. I will be back. Hopefully with a better smart.

    Absolutely amazing surf and turf fried rice! Worth every penny! My rare streak was cooked to perfection! And our server violet was awesome thank you for the recommendation! Added bonus they had the Mexico vs Ecuador game on! What a night! Thank you! Ps the presentation of the food was 100 times better than the photo I took. I had dug in and thought I should take a picture of this delicious food.

    Cliff Notes Price Range: $$ Parking: Plenty Perk: Food Non-Perk: Booths are not comfy Ambiance: Bar with a fun twist Dress: Business Casual Noise: Low Temperature: Perfect Recommend: 100% Response Time: N/A Professionalism: On point Date: 1/18/2026 Dissertation: Stopped in here on a beautiful outing. Ordered one Thai Daisy and somehow ended up with a few... zero regrets! My husband's spicy mango mule was so good he's still talking about it. 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.

    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.

    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.

    You have arrived.

    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.

    blackened shrimp tacos
    Teynae R.

    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!

We sat at the bar, only one other couple there, and maybe 2 other customers in booths. The owner snapped at the person who sat us we weren't sure why and felt maybe we weren't supposed to be seated at the bar. We were greeted by a young server very nice, smiling,welcoming. I ordered a Orion beer, wife had a green tea. Wife ordered some plates. They came quickly. My wife was so excited to try this restaurant, so she ordered and I ate. Everything was incredible. The sashimi , sushi, all melted in your mouth. So many different flavors with each plate. Not over powering sauces which most places do to hide the low quality of fish. Not here each piece was a culinary deliciousness of flavor. The rolls are not typical all rice little filling. The rice enhanced the filling. No need to use soy sauce! The ginger they supply was so fresh we had 4 servings of it. The restaurant is a 50s style diner, but it doesn't matter what the place looked like with this incredible food. We've NEVER had sushi like this. It's expensive, but you are paying for Japan quality sushi. With all the sushi spots and AYCE places I see why it was so slow. I asked if it gets busy, and was given a few jokingly sarcastic answers from I think owner, which was ok cause I joked back and he got it. If you want the experience of going to a master sushi chef restaurant in Japan, go to Tokyo Boys. You'll pay for a great experience. We hope when we come back to Henderson to return!

    Fifteen years later and I still love this place!…read more I've been dining at I Love Sushi for over 15 years, and it truly never disappoints. It's one of those restaurants that has become a tradition for our family, and every time we visit we're reminded why it's always packed. There has been a recent change in ownership, and they now offer an all-you-can-eat menu. I'll admit I was hesitant at first because sometimes AYCE sushi can mean sacrificing quality. Thankfully that is not the case here at all. The quality is just as good as it's always been. We started with the garlic edamame, which is always a great way to kick things off. From there we ordered steamed gyoza, yellowtail, yuzu salmon sushi, and then took advantage of one of the best parts of the all-you-can-eat menu... you can order half rolls. This makes it so easy to try a variety of different rolls without committing to full ones. That said, the one roll I will never order as a half is the Flower Roll. It's been my favorite here for years and is an absolute must every time we visit. Our waitress also recommended trying the Irish Roll, which was new to us and ended up being excellent. We'll definitely be ordering that again. We also tried a half Candy Cane Roll, which was another great option. One of the reasons we keep coming back, beyond the food, is the service. Because we've been coming here for so long, the staff recognizes us and they are always incredibly kind and welcoming. It really adds to the experience. This restaurant is almost always packed, and there's a very good reason for that. The food is consistently great and the atmosphere is lively and welcoming. A couple other menu items worth mentioning: The Joe Special is fantastic (even though we didn't order it this visit), and my daughter always loves the Niku Udon noodles. After 15+ years, I Love Sushi is still a five-star experience for us, and it's a place we always look forward to visiting with family and friends.
