The northern end of Chino Roces Avenue is at the intersection with
J. P. Rizal Avenue. It heads southwesterly across the residential and commercial
barangays of Olympia, Tejeros, Santa Cruz, and La Paz. After the intersection with Yakal Street in San Antonio, the avenue bends to the south, becoming more commercial as it approaches
Gil Puyat Avenue. The road continues southwards through the western limits of the
Makati CBD, bending slightly southwesterly between Dela Rosa and Don Bosco Streets. The avenue then becomes mixed commercial and industrial as it continues straight to
EDSA. South of EDSA via a narrow channel under the
Magallanes Interchange, its extension serves as a
frontage road to the
South Luzon Expressway. It is lined with light industries and car dealerships on both sides, as well as a few factory outlets, in an area known as Mantrade or Kayamanan-C. The road ends at
Lawton Avenue within
Fort Bonifacio in Taguig, near the
New Senate Building and
Sales Interchange. Chino Roces has a short extension north of J. P. Rizal Avenue into Barangay
Carmona as A. P. Reyes Avenue. The part of Chino Roces from Rufino Street to
Arnaiz Avenue is home to several Japanese restaurants and shops, earning it the nickname "Little Tokyo". ==History==
