CHINOIS ON MAIN

STILL THE BEST RESTAURANT EVER!!! Having been fortunate enough to dine at Chinois on Main when it 1st opened almost 40 years ago and we continue to patronize to this day. While traveling back to California from our new home out of state we dined at Chinois 2 nights in a row. In fact we scheduled our trip to allow us to eat at Chinois as many times as possible.

Chinois never disappoints!!! Having eaten over the globe at some amazing restaurants we always return to Chinois ranking as our favorite and top of the list for fine creative and delightful dining. Bella is delightful as always and has been able to retain staff that exceeds even the most particular of patrons while at the same time maintaining a warm and welcoming ambiance. Waiters and bar tender Victor always remember who we are and our favorite dishes as well.

My favorite foods are Ahi with uni sauce for a truly taste explosion combined with the finest quality of ahi. I always order a side bowl of the uni sauce because it is so truly wonderful. Exquisite grilled Lamb chops exceed any lamb found anywhere. Shanghai Lobster with fried spinach remains a true extravagant presentation of lobster at its finest. Chinois chicken salad remains a delightful staple as well.

All is all Chinos remains our favorite restaurant in the world!!

A MUST RESTAURANT FOR ANYIONE LIVING NEAR OR VISITING THE AREA!!!

We had a really good dinner at this my favorite Chinese restaurant in santa monica. I think this is the best Chinese in LA . You can get best service and highest quality food . I love Chinese Chicken Salad and fried rice. Sweets are also good

Flawless

Restaurant seems to be frozen in time since the year 2000. The interior and exterior retain their vintage charm and the menu features simple dishes made with quality ingredients.
While the food was excellent, the service could use some improvement. Although the staff was friendly, it seemed a bit chaotic and disorganized at times, which made the dining experience a little less enjoyable. However, I was happy to be back at Chiona on main after a long time and would definitely recommend it for the tasty food and vintage charm.

Good food, but pricy
