We've been watching the 5th season of TOC, and it encouraged us to finally visit, and we were not disappointed. Food is freshly served, delicious, and every bite was tasty. Service was excellent. They were friendly, helpful, and attentive. We'll definitely be returning, Cheeseburger dumplings were our favorite. And the passion fruit yogurt smoothie was exceptional.Parking: We parked across the way parking was $2 for the entirety of our meal, so it was completely reasonable.
I was really looking forward to this, I was the first customer in and I ordered the vegan dumplings and the vegan bar. the bao was great but I came for the dumplings and I was really disappointed to see how undercooked some of them were once I got home. the flavor was there, but raw dumplings aren't my jam.

Dinner with a group of friends and family. We had a reservation and waited for the entire party to arrive. Dumplings were amazing and the sauces, but my favorite was the fried rice, broccoli beef and curry chicken. So flavorful and tender.

We've been to Ms Chi Cafe before. We started watching Tournament of Champions recently and were excited to see her on the show. The food was alright, not bad but wasn't on our lost of places to consistently return to. But after watching her on TOC I couldn't shake off this one thing: during cooking, she'd taste utensils and toss them back in the pot.I get it, chefs tasting their food is normal, but this felt gross, especially on national TV. Made me wonder about their kitchen practices. Sadly, I won't be going back. Until they step up their hygiene game, I'll pass on recommending it to others.

The food was good. It is a fusion of Korean Chinese, or American Chinese, all depends what you order.. something to try out.. ?

Amazing food, ordered the pork potstickers, chicken jaozi, orange chicken, and the chicken chow mein. Orange chicken was so delicious and the chicken dumplings are amazing!
The honey walnut shrimp was amazing! The prawns were huge. I loved the grapefruit in the dish. I also really appreciate the gluten free options, which is what brought me here. I will definitely be back.

Food was pretty good, we liked the cheeseburger dumplings and the chili oil dumplings. The beef in the beef and brocollini was not tender, the lo mein was just okay.The service was very slow and not very friendly.

We came for happy hour on a Friday afternoon. The hostess/waitress could not have been less happy to welcome anyone into the empty restaurant. We ordered the Mala chicken tenders, salt & pepper tots, and pork potstickers. The tenders were unbearably tough and unbelievably salty. Like they were dunked into a vat of salt. The potstickers were uninspired and the sauce was oddly reminiscent of some sort of rubbing alcohol mixed with soy sauce. The only saving grace were the ore-ida tater tots that had a couple scallions tossed in!I really, really wanted to love Ms Chi, so it was a very disappointing experience.
Wow tbe kraft soupling is sooo delicious. Its fun, creative and nostalgic. We love the breadcrumbs inside as a surprise. The cheese was so creamy and melty, and the tomato soup was very flavorful. Staff were really friendly and theres a parking garage nearby. Def recommend!

Strolled by Ms Chi Cafe and decided to stop by on a whim. I have been to other places on the block so wanted to try this one. Greeted promptly and politely and was seated outside. Michelle took care of me and showed me the lunch specials. I decided on the Pork Cutlet Plate with pork ragu, rice, and some cooked veggies as well as some pickled ones. They added depth and acidity to the dish helped cut through the rich, deep, fried pork flavor. The pork itself had a good chew and mouth feel, moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. I liked the whole garlic cloves and the rice was nice and sticky. Its a cute space inside and out. Skipped desert today but saw another table get mochi donuts and devour them so may have to try that next time. Ordered a Vietnamese Iced coffee to go and boy does it have some zip! Mr Chi was very accommodating and friendly.

Very cute area but the noodles were very disappointing noodles overall. The flavor wasn’t great, and the portions weren’t big given the price. (But the cheeseburger dumplings were actually better than expected)

Love Ms Chi Cafe. Delicious inventive spin on Chinese cuisine. The cheeseburger dumplings are a good example.Great service, outdoor seating. It's a nice spot to meet friends and share a few plates.

We went to Ms. Chi Cafe on a late Tuesday evening and were the last two tables. The food had a fun modern twist on Chinese dishes. The cheeseburger dumplings were surprisingly good and not just gimmicky. The filling was packed and juicy and the tomato-pickle relish sauce was a good acidic balance for the richness of the dumplings. The chili wontons were solid. The walnuts in the honey walnut shrimp dish were so interesting, they were baked into a cookie-like batter. They added slices of peach/nectarine to the dish. The cocktails were fun and punchy. Staff were welcoming and efficient.
