Xino Restaurant + Lounge

Xino is a hip, trendy and chic Chinese restaurant located on the roof of the Santa Monica Place mall.  The ocean breeze creeps atop the roof and blows through the large patio section of the restaurant and lounge.  It offers traditional dishes with a contemporary twist, such as wild mushroom garlic noodles and kung pao chicken lollipops.  The interior is dim, romantic and massive, with great views of the city, perfect for people watching.  A full bar is available along the south end.  Valet parking is an option in the mall's parking lot.
