Fried haddock, yams, and Mac & cheese
Maddy F.

These ladies know what they're doing. This was some great homemade food. The restaurant is only open Friday and Saturday, so make sure you get it while you can! They are very sweet and I'm so glad I decided to stop by. The portions are large. I can't wait to try what else they have to offer. You won't be disappointed!

Cute little restaurant that recently opened up on Syracuse's South Side on April 5th. They're only open on Fridays from 12pm - 8pm/9pm and Saturdays from 2pm - whenever they sell out. There's usually a pretty long line out the door before they're even open because the food is just so good! Their menu changes all the time, so you have to check their Facebook too see what they have for the day. The chi' in their name stands for Chinese, as there is a Chinese influence on the menu from when the owner's mom used to work at a Chinese restaurant and learned how to make some of the dishes on the menu: chicken/shrimp fried rice, ribs and rice, etc. We got there at 11:45am today and to our surprise, there wasn't a line yet! However, as 12pm started to roll around, the people started coming. There were maybe 20-30 people standing outside waiting. They were a little behind schedule today and didn't open till about 12:25pm. Oh boy. The crowd outside got haaaaangry! But once they finally opened, everyone was more than happy to continue to wait in line to order some food. So when you order, you order a main with two sides. You can also order some desserts, as well. A hearty portion of food is piled into 3-sectioned styrofoam containers. We ordered: - stew chicken with candied yams and potato salad - smothered pork chops with collard greens and baked mac n cheese - a pint side portion of shrimp fried rice (in a little Chinese to-go box) Ohhhhh boy! The food was sure worth the wait! The meat from the stew chicken and the pork chops were sooooo soft, tender, and practically fell right off the bone! The sauce they were in were so flavorful and absolutely delicious. The stew chicken's sauce was slightly too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The candied yams were beautifully candied with just the right amount of sweetness to it. The collard greens are savory and delicious. Definitely try these. The baked mac n cheese was also very yummy! The texture of it was a little too mushy for me, but the flavor is definitely there. My favorite side was definitely the potato salad. I don't know what they put in this, but I can't stop eating it! Oh yeah, you also get a piece of cornbread with your meal. It's a good piece of cornbread, but it was on the drier side for me. Seating is limited, as the store itself is relatively small. There are about 10 eat spots available along wall, but only 6 chairs to sit at. Most of the people just ordered their food and took it to go. This is a family fun business and maybe they're still trying to get into the groove of things, but the service itself could use some help with streamlining to increase productivity and speed. Other than that, the food is delicious and I would definitely come back to try some of the other items on their menu.

Chicken and Waffles

The best comfort soul food I have tasted! I have had lunch/dinner here plenty of times and was never disappointed. Today I tried breakfast and my goodness! Every bite was heaven! She definitely cooks her food with a lot of love and her hands are truly blessed! 1000% recommended and I can not wait to use her catering services in the near future!

Fantastic food! I'm from philly but when I'm in the area, I love to make sure I grab some food. Best spot in the area

Good carrot cake

I'm from the south where soul food rules and I wanted that. After a recommendation from a local I decided to give this place a try and I'm glad I did! Even though I was not allowed inside due to covid-19 it was all good I didn't mind sweating it out lol! On to the food BBQ Jerk chicken was delish at its best and the Mac and cheese topped it of, the beans had a tad bit to much brown sugar and the carrot cake topped off my sweet tooth! If I'm ever in the area I'll come back definitely,friendly and fast service gets me every time!!
