Cut a point for food only because one of the starters wasn't as described but was still very good. The food was very tasty and the value for money was excellent.

We had an excellent lunch. I will certainly return in the evening. The food was lovely and great value. The service was fantastic as well. It is called express lunch but we could have stayed all afternoon. We will return again.

We had the lunchtime bento box - for the price I can't fault the food or the service.

I have been before, and the service and food (especially the Black Cod) was out of this world.
This time they had no black cod, and offered us 3 cheaper options (although the Monkfish tail was still really tasty!). They then forgot an order extra to the tasting menu we wanted, which they then brought alone, before the dessert platter. They then attempted to charge us full price after booking the 40% offer through GoDine.
My first time here was 10 out of 10 in every way, this one had a few hiccups, but the meal as usual was still incredible. I will still go back in an instant.

Enjoyed the seared beef and although it was quite expensive, you really get what you pay for. Not sure I've had beef like that before! Hope to return soon.

Black cod dish stole the show!

Wonderful meal at Chino Latino - we went for the tasting menu - so glad we did. Delightful.

A great night out with so fantastic food.
There is a great bar in which to have a drink at first.
Only small point, is that the seats are not particularly comfy, although we did sit at a big table for 10 people with some small sofas, rather than an orthodox table.

Tasty food, service was average.

Great food in Notts city centre. Whilst not the cheapest the food offers something for everyone and it is a case of you get what you pay for.
Maura Francis – 27/08/2010
Good food but quite confusing menu. Expensive, even with 20% off promotion.
Asheeka Hyde – 21/08/2010
The mains were good but i found no dessert option to go for and nor did my husband... Given that he has a massive sweet tooth that says something about their dessert menu. Last time we went we wanted to eat 2 desserts eat so was a big disappointment.
As for the starters, my husbands was good but i'd ordered Chino's tempura and when i bit into the prawn i realised that it hadn't been de-veined. Put me off the rest of the starter after that.

An excellent lunch with the tasting menu. Food was well executed and presented. Black cod was of good quality and other dishes had interesting takes. Overall very pleasant!

The food at Chino Latino is really interesting. There are dishes that use some really exciting cooking techniques and ingredients I have never seen before. We had the black cod which is delicious (the presentation and execution of this dish is fantastic). I would also recommend the seared beef and the tuna sushi rolls. The atmosphere of the restaurant and decor is warm and the cocktail menu is also very strong. Highly recommended!

Although the food was pretty good, the service good I guess, it just wasn't anything that special- I can't quite put my finger on the reason why. We did have a table that was tucked away and that may have affected the atmosphere. It was quite expensive (we did have a lot of dishes though) but it didn't feel hugely worth it. Quite a strange experience!

Good selection of unusual dishes and cocktails, but the food quality wasnt up to the same standards as last year when I went, and was quite expensive for what you got. But still very nice.

Great service, lovely food. Really made for a great night - would definately go back.
