Hidden gem in Midtown! Everything we ordered was delicious.<br><br>The generals accord was refreshing and flavorful, and the mashed eggplant&pepper was surprisingly addictive.<br><br>Main’s Portions are HUGE—one main can easily feed two people.The chi‘s mala broiled whole fish was packed with fresh fish and tons of vegetables, but the Lobster Sticky Rice was the star of the meal. Huge lobster, perfectly cooked sticky rice, and so much flavor.<br><br>Don’t skip dessert—the Brown Sugar Rice Cake was crispy outside, soft inside, and absolutely delicious. The mocktails were refreshing too. Definitely coming back!

Response from the owner

Claire, thank you for your kind words. We’re honored to be considered a hidden gem and are thrilled that everything you ordered was delicious. We appreciate your support and hope to serve you again soon.

Celebrated a graduation dinner. We had a party of 20 and it was great. My cousin had been there and she raved about the food. She was right. Loved the ambiance, food was great, and nice mocktail selection. I particularly loved the pork dumplings, the lobster fried rice, spicy shrimp, and lamb. I will def go back.Celebrated a graduation dinner. We had a party of 20 and it was great. My cousin had been there and she raved about the food. She was right.

We had reservations here for lunch on a Sunday before theater.<br>We were seated upon arrival.<br>Restaurant is clean, nicely decorated. Staff is pleasant and able to make good recs for specialties.<br>We enjoyed the peking duck, truffled beef, and fried noodles with chicken. The peking duck was one of the best we've ever had. The truffled beef was tender and flavorful but had very little taste of truffles. The fried noodles with chicken was the table favorite...even though we ordered pork but got chicken...because of the flavor, texture of the noodles, and veggies.<br><br>Definitely a good choice for lunch before theater.

Response from the owner

Thank you, Bon! We’re so glad you enjoyed your lunch before the theater and appreciate your support. We look forward to welcoming you back to Chi Restaurant & Bar soon!

Very good XLB and lomein. Also enjoyed the cucumber salad. The service was a bit abrupt, as you find in many similar restaurants. I really dig the atmosphere and would come back to try other dishes.<br>Nice location also.

Everything was so amazingly fresh, full of flavor, well prepped, seasoned & cooked! The atmosphere was nice too well lit but still so soft & warm.<br><br>Easily one of the best meals I’ve had in New York, prices were reasonable. Service was quick and timely. The staff were friendly. And the selection was outstanding.<br><br>The dessert was delicious too, my favorite tho was the spicy cumin lamb! It was wonderful, even better the mushroom beef (which was still great)<br><br>Their veggie dumplings were super tasty too, as were all the vegetable offerings!

Response from the owner

Hi Makiah, thank you for the feedback. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the freshness and flavor of the dishes, as well as the atmosphere. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to serving you again.

I ordered on Uber Eats. Food was delicious but the reason I gave them 4 stars is because I ordered soy sauce for the edamame and the white rice and they didn't send some. They were good but didn't enjoyed them as much :'(

Response from the owner

Dear Nydia,<br><br>Thank you for ordering with us and for your kind words about the food — we’re so glad you enjoyed it. We’re truly sorry the soy sauce was missing; we know those small details make all the difference, especially with dishes like edamame and rice.<br><br>We’ll be reminding our team to be more mindful with takeout orders. We hope we can provide a fully seamless experience for you next time.

Loved everything about Chi! The dim sum platter, sesame chicken, and truffle beef tenderloin were all fantastic. Margaritas had the perfect kick, service was incredible, and the vibe was just right.

Everything we had here was amazing! The mapo tofu with fish filet was my favorite. It was the perfect mix of spicy and flavorful, and I loved the fish in it as well. The fried rice was great, and I loved the spicy chicken as well. Everything was a hit. All the food came out quickly as well, and our waiter was very friendly and attentive.
