Wow - what an incredible find! This place is an absolute hidden gem on Saint-Laurent Street in Montreal. The service is amazing, the vibe is warm & inviting, & the food… just wow! The dumplings are out of this world - a total must-try! I can't wait to come back & try more dishes. Highly, highly recommend!

I recently visited CHI, & it was an exceptional dining experience! The ambiance was cozy & welcoming, with elegant décor that set the perfect mood. The menu offered a wide variety of authentic Asian dishes. I tried the chicken Tao & the grilled chicken, both of which were bursting with flavor & perfectly prepared. The service was attentive, with friendly staff who were knowledgeable about the menu. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Asian cuisine!
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 🥂

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!)
We had an incredible experience at Chi! Wonderful food, the ambiance could not be better & the staff is absolutely amazing. The fries & poke bowl were so delicious. We can't wait to come back. This truly is a hidden gem. Highly recommend!
Dining at CHI on St Laurent was an amazing experience! Unparalleled culinary delights, a cozy yet vibrant ambiance, & impeccable service made our evening truly memorable. Surprisingly affordable, CHI is a gem in Montreal-delectable food, cozy ambiance, attentive service. Highly recommended!!
