The decor is what you would expect from other locations, upscale feeling, clean with a gorgeous chandelier! There is seating inside and a patio area for when the temps are a bit warmer!

The food: Yes this place is a bit pricy but the quality of ingredients I feel makes it worth it. I had their Caesar Salad and Imagine Dragon fruit açaí bowl. Both were fresh and delicious!

If I could, I would give this restaurant a 10-star rating. I have never had a moment where I was disappointed with Chi Maek. The service is always on point--from the top (the owner) to everyone who works there. Everyone greets you with a smile, and both their food and service keep me coming back. I like to say they make you feel like you're part of their family. And if you didn't know any different, you would think you were visiting an upscale, very expensive restaurant, but their prices are just right, not too expensive, and the food still tastes amazing. I am part of a retired group of ladies, and not only does my family love going back again and again, but my group was so impressed that we visited more than once, and some of those ladies still go back on their own. As you walk through the door, they greet you not only with a smile, but they also call your name as if they have known you forever. As I stood waiting for my order, I noticed I wasn't the only one; they greeted every customer the same way, with a smile and by calling them by name as they walked through the door.

The only note I have is that I might ask for extra sauce for our wings next time just because I prefer them saucier, but that's just my personal preference! Every employee we interacted with was very kind and thoughtful. The restaurant has a very low-key vibe so it was great to just sit and relax while enjoying our food.

They just opened this weekend and seem to be a well oiled machine already. We ordered online and the food was ready before the estimated pick up time. The team friendly and prompt! Burrata Pesto Salad: the ingredients are top tier, the burrata is made fresh, and the flavor pairing is out of this world. South Philly: a classic Philly cheesesteak! We opted to add their BBQ Aioli for a smoky flare. The cheesesteaks are massive and the salad is both substantial and rich. We split both and were very full. Be sure to go past the pick up counter to try some of their special sauces. Our favorite is the BBQ Aioli and there are plenty of options to choose from.

The Provelone cheese was sliced much thinner than the Pencil thin thickness but it was the second meat that was stopped short and not given the full usual amount.

I tell them we have an online order before anything else she says " we have not received the order yet". Now I will say we did get a little upset because they had not even received the order much less started to work on it. The women and man behind the counter begins to get super upset almost to the point of yelling telling us they don't have the order ready as it just got here and how we shouldn't expect it to be ready.

Dawn gave us the kids meal for free and we got our sandwiches. But we were displeased by the way the employees felt they could speak to us. It left a bad taste in our mouths that they would 1. Speak to any customers this way And 2. Turn our business away as they told us to go to another location.
