Best One-of-a-Kind Kitchen in Phoenix · Phoenix, AZ
Chino Bandido has been mashing up Chinese, Mexican and Caribbean flavors in Phoenix since 1990 — a wildly original menu where you can pair Jade Red chicken with a machaca burrito and a scoop of fried rice, and every plate comes with a free snickerdoodle. There's genuinely nothing else like it.
A one-of-a-kind Phoenix favorite for over 30 years, Chino Bandido is the 2026 Centurion Award winner.
Each Centurion Award is a dated record tied to one year’s evaluation — earned annually, never carried over. Open a year for the full citation and verification details.
Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. Selection is by published criteria, never for sale.

This page is the standing record for Chino Bandido (2026). It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. For hours, bookings, and live reviews, go straight to the business itself.
If you’ve put in the years, you may already clear the bar. Evaluation is free, private, and never for sale.
