" Chi Cafe has become a favored spot for my wife and me. The menu is extensive, offering everything from chow mein to dim sum. The portions are sizable for the price, although we noticed that quality sometimes varies. We appreciate the late hours as it has provided us a comforting meal after long nights! Overall, a solid option for late-night dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not as good as I remembered. We used to come here often, but the quality seems to have declined. The hot and sour soup lacked flavor, and the entrees were underwhelming. Service was decent, but I left less satisfied compared to previous visits. May reconsider returning until I know for sure that things have improved. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Chi Cafe during a night out in Chinatown, and wow, was I thrilled! The menus are extensive, and there are so many dishes to choose from! I shared the crispy noodles and salt & pepper crab with some friends, and they were all impressed by the flavors. The crab was cooked perfectly, and the seasonings made it shine. I will return for sure. Highly recommend it to everyone who loves good Chinese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Chi Cafe expecting a delightful meal, and I certainly was not disappointed! The fried rice was beautifully fluffy and packed with vegetables. The service could have been a bit faster, but the staff was friendly. I could see the attention to detail in their dishes, especially the sizzling beef which was still piping hot when it reached our table. I highly recommend this place for late-night cravings in Chinatown! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chi Cafe delivered a lovely dining experience! I loved the garlic chicken which was flavorful and tender. The environment is cozy and apt for wind-down dinners after a long day. Although we experienced a wait, it was manageable. Overall, excellent food and I will certainly be back to try more from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" There's just something about Chi Cafe that keeps me coming back! Each visit has revealed excellent selection. The wonton dumplings were the best I have ever had! The environment is always lively yet comfortable. Just a great experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience, unfortunately. We had high expectations given the rave reviews, but our meals just fell flat. The sweet and sour chicken was over-sweetened, making it hard to enjoy. I appreciated the efforts of the staff but felt they were overwhelmed by the dinner rush. I might give it another chance, but this visit felt below par. " (*Curated Review*)
