Portions are too small, and for that price it did not taste any different than a local asian restaurant (even worse in some cases). Peruvian corn was just really bad, too bland and tasteless. Sushi was okay, and that’s the only dish I would recommend. Service was too rushed - waitress took away my cocktail while you could clearly see there was 1/3 of it remaining. In the beginning, we asked if we could be seated closer to the window in the middle of the restaurant - the waitress told us that all of the tables were booked already (I would say the restaurant were 20% full when we arrived). We were there for 2 hours, and no one else came in - we had to stay in the corner table. It was frustrating why we could not sit in the middle table - I would have appreciated honesty if they did not feel like putting us in a bigger table (we were 2, and those tables were for 4). I would not recommend this place.

Food was absolutely wonderful. The black cod melted in the mouth, the steak over charcoal was cooked to perfection, the duck salad was a joy - one of the best taster menus I’ve had - and I’ve had plenty!

When arriving we was greeted so nice and friendly. Food was absolutely beautiful. But im sorry the customer service was disgusting. Took 10 minutes when we was seated to be acknowledged if we wanted a drink. The waitress was so blunt i was made to feel like she had a problem with me. When it was obvious we was done with our mains waitresses kept walking past! In the middle of our mains the candle was removed which made us feel like we needed to leave! Im so so disappointed has we are away for a birthday and we chose here from Instagram and we was treated like this. Wish i hadnt of bothered!!!!

We celebrated our anniversary at Chino Latino last weekend. The staff are very friendly and attentive. I had the black cod with spicy miso and steamed pak choi. My partner had the casterbridge sirloin steak with cassava chips. Both meals were beautifully presented and delicious. For drinks we had the Kir Royale and Mojito Royale. Again both cocktails were perfect 🍸🍹 for dessert, my partner had the Three Way Latte. I don't like whiskey, so it wasn't my thing but he really enjoyed it. I avoid refined processed sugar, so I was pleasantly surprised by the creme brulee dessert with maple syrup. The waitress noticed that I was avoiding processed sugar and without me even asking her to double check this, she returned a couple of minutes later letting me know that there was sugar in the dessert, so I could change my order. This attention to detail is what makes customers feel special! I then ordered the fruit platter and a few minutes later we also got a surprise: fondant with vanilla ice cream (the picture I have shared). This was so kind and, although I try to be healthy, we both indulged in this delicious treat. Thank you to all the staff who made our evening so special ❤

Food was amazing. A set menu with 3 options, to be told after 20minutes of waiting to order that one of the options isn't available... maybe share this information earlier, lost a star for that I'm afraid, it annoyed me

Went for my birthday with my partner. The front of house person did not take down the reservation name properly and suggested we sit at 2 small tables in the corner, which was not in an ideal location. We asked if we could sit somewhere else and she was rather rude an confrontational in saying we couldn't sit at the many free tables as they where "reserved". My partner ordered a surprise treat and had to chase it up and spoil the surprise. When the desert eventually came out it had no spoon to eat it with. The service at Chino Latino spoiled a lovely day.When my partner raised the issue with the manager she did not seem empathetic towards the situation, but offered two drinks which we declined. Overall, the service was poor and they didn't make us feel like valued customers.

Visited Chino Latino with a few friends. The ambience of the restaurant was lovely, staff were very attentive and polite.The live entertainment was a really nice touch, the singer Lexi, I believe was her name was great and really set the tone for the evening.The food was good and prices were reasonable, would have expected the sushi to be better considering the location but it was good. The black cod for the main meal was good value for money as it was a very health sized fillet.The cocktails were nice, as you can expect being made fresh they can take a while so would recommend ordering your next drink when your 3/4 way through to make sure your topped up.If you are in the area would be worth checking out.

Beautiful resturant, exquicit food and amazing staff. Brilliant service all round. We stayed in the hotel and ate here for 3 nights and I have to say, the food was perfect from start to finish. The entertainment here every night was sublime, we made sure the entertainment new we enjoyed their performance and that we had a brilliant time listening to them during our food and drinks.

We had dinner and tried several dishes, they were all very good. I suggest the pork cooked at low temperature and the tempura, both excellent. Service was good, we weren't waiting to long between services.The space is lovely and the grand window with a great views of the Thames River.The price was a bit too high.

My visit to Chino Latino was a very pleasant one. We were firstly greeted downstairs by a doorman then again once we arrived upstairs to the restaurant. We got given a window seat which we were very lucky in getting and made our experience that bit more nicer as it was a river view. One part that really made it for me was the live pianist playing in the background, this made the mood so relaxing and enjoyable. We ordered a starter to share between me and my partner which was the 'three ways taquitos’ which were very nicely presented and tasty. Onto our mains, we ordered the red chicken curry, jasmine rice, slow cooked prime beef short rib with cassava chips. The red chicken curry for myself was very delicious and had a lot of flavors, nothing I could fault about it. The ribs with cassava chips, my partner thoroughly enjoyed too. For dessert, we decided to get the exotic fruit platter as it was something I saw doing my reviews prior which looked amazing. When we got our dessert, the presentation of it was wonderful it consisted of so many different exotic fruits with two mousses and tasted delicious. I would definitely give this place a 10/10 and recommend to everyone.
