Aucun accueil lors de notre arrivée , 2 personnes seulement était présente . Les cocktails étaient très ordinaire . Ambiance ´akward' . Le serveur ne parlait ni français , ni anglais . Ce n'est pas compliqué, nous avons quitté du au service médiocre. Malheureusement je ne vous conseil absolument pas. Nous avons avons terminés notre soirée ailleurs.
Nous sommes venu ici pour célébrer avec mon copain & nous avons beaucoup aimé notre expérience.
Tout d'abord, les cocktails étaient franchement délicieux (un peu cher mais bon) & ils étaient assez forts sans trop l'être non plus. Les frites étaient aussi très bonnes &, pour 7$, ça valait la peine.
Le calamar frit était bon mais il n'y avait que 6 rondelles & ce n'étais vraiment pas le meilleur calamar frit que j'ai mangé. Je ne reviendrai pas pour le manger mais si tu y es déjà il n'est que 12$
Il n'y avait pas d'huîtres, malheureusement, donc je n'ai pas pu les goûter mais je reviendrai plus tard afin de les essayer!
La vibe du bar est fun, les décos sont très jolies & les toilettes sont très propres. Ce qui est un tout petit peu irritant est la musique car celle-ci est très répétitive & un peu désagréable à l'oreille mais ce n'est pas très grave puisqu'elle n'est pas trop forte.
En gros, c'était fun & assez bon, je reviendrais sûrement.

My friends & I dropped in on a Saturday evening because we saw their happy hour 2 for 1 cocktail deal. This is one of the better happy hour deals all together I spent around $40 on 2 cocktails & an appetizer. I found the cocktail to be a bit watered down because of all the ice so if you prefer a stronger drink then I'd maybe mention light ice. I would definitely come back for another 5 à 7. The service was also good.
CHI is a beautiful aesthetic gem with so many lanterns, the decoration with the statues is so pretty. The food is super tasty & they serve big affordable tasty portions. The fried calmari & shrimps are so delicious. The ceviche & salmon tartare are so fresh. They even have a cocktail tree to try their different signatures. Try it out you won't regret it, I highly recommend this restaurant 🥂
We loved our dinner there! Food was all really tasty. The lychee cocktail was amazing. They have this 8 cocktails for 100$ deal on their menu that sounds too good to be true, but I hope it is for next time. The only issue was that all the food was extremely very very salty.

I never make the time to write a review, but when it came to Chi I couldn't help myself. We are from out of town & stayed at the Hilton Garden inn. We wanted a nice restaurant that was reasonably priced & was only a 3-4 minute uber from the hotel. We found Chi through Google & thought that we would give it a try. The atmosphere is incredible & they even have a real Terracotta Warrior statue from the set of The Mummy! We started our night with a couple of fancy cocktails! (Highly recommend the mango/chilli margarita) This was followed by a fantastic tower of shots & a side order of French fries. The French fries have a wonderful crunch & are accompanied by a delicious dipping sauce. For my main course I had the Chi burger! This was cooked to perfection & served on a bao bun. (which I had never experienced before) My fiancée ordered the poke bowl, which was not only aesthetically pleasing but she said it was delicious! The portion size was amazing & she was able to bring some home for lunch! All in all, from the friendly service, to the fancy cocktails & the unique Asian décor we truly enjoyed our first experience here in Montreal & at Chi! (I snapped a picture of the statue!)
From the moment you enter the restaurant, you are enveloped by that seductive atmosphere with soft lighting, fascinating decoration; in it you can see the dedication & effort they have put to every detail. Courteous & attentive staff. The food was delicious, robust but balanced flavors, visually attractive & well decorated, mixing textures in dishes such as Salmon tartare or Ceviche. Creative cocktails that pair in harmony with food. I recommend coming here & enjoying the experience.
Le lieu est intimiste / lumière tamisée , les cocktails sont sophistiqués, la carte de nourriture est courte mais vraiment parfaite ( poisson / vege / viande donc pour tous les goûts ) , je conseil car les prix sont pas excessifs ⚡️
