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.
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!

Immaculate vibes, loved everything, the food was 100/10, the staff are SUPER please give them a raise, the place is chic, trendy & is exactly what we needed for a unique weekend experience in Montreal. The music, the lights, the food was on a next level. I would came back to Montreal just to visit this place. Thank you for an unforgettable night!
The $1 oysters were honestly the best oysters I've ever had, the quality of oyster & sauce they use included. I also had the vegetarian poke bowl which was good & a nice portion but still average & they originally forgot the shiitake mushrooms so I had to ask for them. There's no other vegetarian option on the menu so if I come back it'll just be for the oysters. The decor was vibey. Kind of feels like you're transported to a restaurant in China or Japan
Loved it, hosted a 13 persons dinner & it was amazing. Food was delicious & came in great portions. Ambience was cozy & ambient, music was vibes & service was top-notch. Thank you CHI.
We had a small group get together & decided to check out CHI. Good vibes as soon as you walk in with a very unique atmosphere. Our orders included the chicken appetizer, Ceviche, burgers & the tuna poke bowl. Everything was excellent. The mango chili margarita is a must try (nice & slushy with a little kick!). We'll be going back!
