Chi Cafe is located at 2160 S Archer Ave Ste A, Chicago, IL 60616, USA. This cozy restaurant may be easy to miss, but trust me, it’s worth seeking out for its incredible selection of Chinese dishes. From the steamed har gow to the pan-fried prawn dumplings and siu mai, every bite is a flavor explosion that will leave you craving more.

Steamed Har Gow is an absolute delight. The tender har gow wrapper gives way to a soft and silky pork filling, perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of soy sauce and sesame oil. The combination of textures and flavors in each bite is truly divine.

The Pan-Fried Prawn Dumpling at Chi Cafe is a game-changer. Crispy on the bottom and delicate on top, these dumplings are filled with succulent prawns that have been expertly seasoned to bring out their natural sweetness. It’s a flavor combination that will leave you wanting more.

Siu Mai is one of my favorite Cantonese dim sum dishes, and Chi Cafe does it incredibly well. The pork and shrimp filling is generous and flavorful, wrapped in a delicate rice flour wrapper that adds just the right amount of crunch to each bite.

The restaurant has a lively and bustling atmosphere, with traditional Chinese decorations and modern elements. The tables are filled with families and groups of friends enjoying their meals together. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring that every customer has a pleasant dining experience. Overall, the restaurant’s atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it an ideal place to try authentic Cantonese cuisine.
