"Ray Zhou, an alum of Double Chicken Please, and Zhaojin Dai, the sous chef at the Michelin-starred restaurant Jungsik, are behind the menus at Chinato, a new bar at 108 Stanton Street, at Ludlow Street, on the Lower East Side. Cocktails mixed with corn, bell pepper, clarified yogurt, and other unusual ingredients are named after songs by artists like Snoop Dogg and Brad Paisley; they start at around $20. The owners are Teng Huang of Midtown’s Shinjuku Ramen and Xiong Ying behind the rooftop bar at Flushing’s Parc Hotel." - Luke Fortney

Most of the cocktails at the new bar Chinato — run by the former research and development head of Double Chicken Please, Ray Zhou — have a song pairing. I ordered the “Pancakes for Dinner,” an average tune, but a thoroughly enjoyable beverage — flavorful, strong, satisfying. Small plate offerings were developed by a Jung Sik chef. Chinato lacks the pageantry of DCP, but its cocktails live up to the hype. –Drew Sussman

Very solid cocktail bar in LES. Love the vibe of the space and creativity of their cocktails. Friendly service. Wouldn’t necessarily come for the food - good not great - but before or after dinner cocktails are a great move regardless.

Steven is the guy! this bartender recommended us the best of cocktails. Welcomed our critique with a smile and served us the best drinks ever! This bar is so much more than just a regular / classic bar. They have incredibly crafty cocktails. I wouldn’t be surprised if they make it to the Top50 bars in the world! more power to these artists. 😎 drinks we tried & loved: Grey luh, off the menu guava based whiskey with an exquisite foam

Walked passed it while waiting for our dinner spot. The danmu was amazing, tasted like popcorn. Their fried chicken sandwich was also good!

I really liked this place! The service was excellent and the drinks were interesting and unique. Would totally come back to try more. We came in at 8pm on a Thursday and got seated with no reservation. They give you a complimentary small glass of Riesling which was a fun way to start the night. Some of the drinks have an edible element (like a chocolate or fruit leather) which adds to the mixology experience. The prices were really fair for the area and the quality. The vibe is more industrial and urban rather than cozy/sexy, but it’s not so loud that you can’t hear a conversation. It is a nice place for a group to go, and the chairs were really comfortable for a cocktail bar. 100% recommend visiting!

Great cocktails/mocktails and bar food dishes along with a nice relaxed ambiance. There was music but it wasn't loud like regular bars. It felt more like a lounge. I found the fries on the salty side. The fried mushrooms were quite good. The mango dessert was delicious as well. Will definitely return!

Went here to catch up with an old friend and it felt like we had to buy something or get out. We made a reservation to come. While finishing up our drinks (which we bought another round so we could keep talking) they said we had to leave because another reservation was coming in. There were two empty seats on either side of us where they could've fit the other reservation. Really disappointed about being rushed out when this was a place my friend really wanted to try out. The drinks were really good though! Loved how one of our waiters explained them to us.

Everything went great during my visit! Chinato has a very discreet look from the outside, but this sober appearance gives way to a sophisticated room with a centerpiece bar and geometric decor. Drinks were fantastically well made (I especially recommend the Chinato and the Gin & Juice), and service was impeccable. I'd recommend making a reservation or visiting during less busy weekdays.
