    Truffle Beef Tenderloin
    Austin L.

    Chi is definitely an elevated, modern Chinese restaurant catered to a higher income crowd. It's really luxurious inside and designed beautifully. I tried items from their traditional menu which consists of things like: The General's Accord Lobster Sticky Rice Truffle Beef Tenderloin Four Treasures Bisque The Diamond Dragon and Summer Palace mocktails are pretty and refreshing! However, they were pretty small and I finished my drink in 5 sips. I loved the trio dishes app which allowed me to try a variety of authentic cold dishes. The soup was creamy, rich, and had high quality seafood in it like abalone and sea urchin. The truffle beef had a really good strong truffle flavor and the sticky rice with lobster had nice crunchy bits of rice in it. The lobster could've had a bit more flavor and a nicer fried coasting on the shell. For the beef dish, they gave so little beef for an entree that is $46 on the menu. We could count the amount of beef cubes while the rest of the dish was mushrooms and onions. The dish was also not even filled. Half the plate was empty when it came out to our table. It felt like a rip off. Their desserts come from the amazing Bibble & Sip a couple blocks away, so they're gorgeous and tasty of course. However, you can get them at Bibble & Sip for face value price.

    This restaurant single handedly saved our rough day at BookCon. My friends and I were all exhausted and disappointed in our event that we just wanted to get Chinese food for dinner and head home. This place was walking distance from the Javits center and there was no wait. Inside is clean and well designed. The food itself was high quality and reasonably priced as the serving size was quite large. Rice cost extra which we decided we did not need. Everyone was in much better spirits after eating here and I look forward to coming back after another trip to the Javits center!

    Three days in NYC and our pre-broadway meal has been by far our best experience. Needed a 3:30 reservation for 8 near the show? No problem. Chi had plenty of openings online through Resy 21 days before. When we arrived, we learned that it was happy hour from 2-6. But one drink and get one equal value for free. Food was spot on. Spice tolerance in our group was average so we made no modifications and everyone seems to enjoy it. The spicy lamb was very good. Some dishes had more kick and I did have a mild sweat going by the end of the meal but the cherry old fashioned did a good job cooling me off. Our servers were attentive and great.

    Spicy Cumin Lamb
    Prathika A.

    I was pleasantly surprised by Chi. It wasn't just the food but the service as well. The service was a perfectly coordinated symphony. As we finished our dish there was someone changing plates for every course and removing the dishes. They were so swift we barely noticed. We stopped by for lunch. We tried the Dan Dan noodles - perfectly cooked with the right balance of meat and spices. We also tried the pork soup dumplings - it was juicy and delicious. For main dish we had the Spicy Cumin Lamb, Fried Chicken with Dry Chili and the black Truffle Fried Rice - Yang Chow style. The Cumin Lab is a must try - it's tender lamb grilled with peppers. The Yang Chow style fried rice perfectly complimented the lamb and the spicy fired chicken. Everything we tried was very good. I look forward to being back to try more of their menu.

    BBQ Spare Ribs 4pc
    Bella M.

    5 star experience! Admittedly, I wish I were a bit more daring on the authentic Chinese food, but there's a lot of pork and that's just not for me. That said, we did have the bbq spare ribs. I didn't love them, but my kids really enjoyed them and the meat was fall off the bone tender. I also thought the presentation was nice. The chicken lo mein was excellent- just a perfect execution of a simple staple. Happy hour is buy one get one- mocktails included. My kids had two of the mocktails that were both really tasty. All in all- solid experience, beautiful setting, and friendly service.

    Lychee Martini
    Lexx T.

    Came to Chi with my mom for lunch following a spa day. The restaurant was fairly empty on a Saturday afternoon with only a few tables being occupied. The inside of the restaurant is modern yet simple and I actually like the decor. Service was just so so (reason for knocking off the 5th star) and not really memorable. Food/Drinks: For drinks, my mother had a lychee martini which was pretty tasty and well balanced. I ordered the Irish americano which was INCREDIBLE (mom agreed)! Think... elevated espresso martini with vanilla cold foam and a dusting of cinnamon. For the appetizer, we ordered the dim sum sampler and each option was tasty. For the main course, we ordered the Mongolian beef (which was similar to pepper steak), the shredded duck lo mein, and stir fried broccoli. We wanted the string beans, but they were sold out. Everything we ate was delicious; I don't think there was a single item we didn't like. If I had to nit-pick, I'd say that the lo mein was a tad bit greasy. Overall, we'd definitely return for drinks and try some other menu items.

    An amazing place with an amazing staff. Food was great, looked exactly how it does on pictures, and always came out hot. Went during happy hour and the presentation and taste of the drinks was awesome. Staff super friendly and gave honest reviews about what to get 10/10 would recommend this spot

    As a fan of authentic Chinese food I have to say this is actually pretty good considering that around that neighborhood there isn't anything like this other than Chinese take out. The food is delicious, service is great and the ambiance is cool very chill. Staff are very friendly. I would definitely come back if around the area.

    Fish Fillet in Pickled Cabbage Soup
    Jenny Z.

    This spot was an unexpected delight! A bit more americanized and on the pricier side, but the food had high quality ingredients, tasted clean, the ambiance was higher end, and everything came out so fast! While the portions are on the smaller side, the food is extremely satiating. The highlights for me were the fish in pickled cabbage (which came with mushrooms and noodles), the string beans, mapo tofu, and truffle chicken and broccoli. The short-rib was also a nice fusion dish - the beef was so tender! Would definitely want to come back to try out the other dishes on the menu.

    Nice way to start off 2026. Chi is a very good chinese restaurant on the west side of manhattan. Everything we ordered was flavorful, presented well and just tasted excellent. This place is a haven for those who love good quality chinese food done right. Waiters and staff were very friendly. Apps ordered were BBQ SPARE Ribs, pork steamed dumplings, spring rolls and cucumber salad. Ribs were so tender and fell right off the bone. Dumplings and rolls were excellent. Main courses did not disappoint. Entrees ordered were Truffle Chicken and Broccoli, Braised Pork Belly, Truffle Beef Tenderloin, and Fried Rice. My braised pork belly was cooked perfectly. The truffle beef and chicken were really delicious. Fried rice was perfect. Price can add up quickly here especially when ordering drinks but keep in mind entree sizes are enough to share so have a game plan before you order if you want to save. Family style size portion for big platters can serve 2 or more easily. You can get full here just by ordering all the delicious apps. Cocktail menu is good. Choices on what to eat will have your head spinning. Good idea to review menu before going. I highly recommend this place. We had a great experience !

    Chi is freaking amazing! We got a little of everything and it was all delicious. The drinks were amazing and buy one get one free for Happy Hour. Come here if you are near Hells Kitchen. Happy Yelping!

    Food: Brought some friends here for a more elevated Sichuan/Chinese meal. Everything was so well executed and flavorful. Really hit the spot and surprisingly authentic! I guess you can find some great gems near Times Square. Some highlights of the night were the pork soup dumplings (ample pocket of porky soup in a thicker chewy dumpling), cumin lamb (aromatic with a tinge of spice), and sliced beef in chili broth! Service: The wait staff were highly attentive and considerate. We did not have to wait for a table, which surprises me. I guess it just isn't viral. Ambiance: Refined and elegant dining experience that is still unapologetically Chinese inspired. Decor is great.

    fried rice, lo mein, General Tso's Shrimp (top), Kung Pao Shrimp (bottom left), GREEEEENS
    Emina S.

    new favorite Chinese restaurant. They have some exquisite entrees for meat eaters, and the seafood menu is impressive as well. only complaint and it may just be me being a big visual person: not a fan of the way the Kung Pao shrimp is served, in a soup of peanuts and peppers. But the General Tso's style shrimp was incredible. Had an addictive spicy coating on a (well-portioned) platter of juuumbo shrimp and broccoli. All of the greens were ridiculously on point especially the tangy cucumbers and crispy green bean sides, respectively. Scallion pancakes weren't greasy, the fried rice had a generous amount of veggies and was anything but average-- same with the lo mein. Such a solid dinner!

    I did not expect to find a sit down Cantonese & Sichuan Restaurant in the heart of Herald Square…read more For sure a hidden gem worth trying. Came here with two other friends for dinner and we pigged out. We started off with Scallion Pancake with Shredded Duck ($15), which tasted amazing. The pancake was flaky and not overly soaked in oil, while the duck meat enhanced the taste. I think everything should order this for the table. We also got the Dan Dan Noodles w Minced Pork ($8), which is a staple dish in Sichuan cuisine. Make sure you stir the bowl to mix the sauce and minced pork. For veggies, we got the Sautéed Green Beans With Eggplant ($18), which tasted great. I usually get sautéed pea shoots for a veggie dish, but this was worth ordering as the eggplant tasted great along with the green beans. For entrees, we got the Spicy Green Pepper Fish Filet ($28 for filet). A classic Cantonese dish that comes with bok choy, so it turns out I didn't really need to order a veggie dish. Delicious. We also tried the OOHU Mao Xue Wang ($34), which may be one of the most spiciest dish available on the menu. This dish combines blood curd from a duck, tripe, and chicken gizzards along with other organs into a simmered broth containing chilis and peppercorns. They also use spam, vermicelli noodles, mushroom, and other things. If you're adventurous and you like spicy, I would recommend this. Best eaten with a cup of rice. Service is great as our server made good recommends and was overall friendly. They also have a party room you can book, which sounded pretty affordable. Don't recall what their minimum spend was, but it was super reasonable compared to a lot of other spots in Chinatown and Flushing.

Many spicy food options since this is a Szechuan spot afterall. Some dishes were a bit too salty and spicy, which they did discount after we brought it to their attention. Overall, decent spot and good for large groups. Otherwise, I didn't find this spot to be too memorable (not bad, not great).
