Very nice place with healthier options. The atmosphere is small and cute. The staff was nice. The food tasted great and fresh and very generous portions. I can't wait to get some more edemame wontons.

Came here for the first time on a Tuesday afternoon and it did not disappoint. I had their poke bowl and the ginger/turmeric crafted pop and it was amazing and refreshing. They use fresh ingredients and the pop is made to order and can adjust the sweetness level, which was a big plus for me. They bring the food right over to your table. Although the outdoor seating isn’t the best the indoor environment really makes up for it. Loved their menu. Simple and healthy.

Updated review from 5 years ago. We recently moved our studio to Carson. At first we weren't sure about lunch options here. Luckily I recall we liked Chinollo when we ate here 5 years ago. Wow. So happy to have Chinollo as a lunch option. We have been eaten here at least once or twice every week. Sometimes we order extra food to take home for dinner. Love it.

Fast. Fresh. Delicious. I come to Carson for work and there is no equivalent of Chinollo back home. One of my favorite restaurants.

Soooo good! The Korean Bowl had me quietly having a moment in the corner—perfectly marinated steak, fluffy rice, and those pickled cucumbers + kimchi? That tangy heat and crunch combo? The garlic noodles were just okay—comforting but a little tame for my spice-loving soul. But the steak + kimchi + cucumbers and rice were the real stars of the show, and I’m not mad at it. Also: no cocktails here, just health drinks —but my spicy Pineapple Haze (I think that’s what it was called lol) was a mood. Sweet, tangy, with a slow heat that built with each sip. Wish this place was closer to the beach, but I’ll absolutely be back. #sipwatchtravel approved lol
