CHI Family Restaurant

“Esthetic of the restaurant is really well put together.”

Esthetic of the restaurant is really well put together. Staff is friendly and the food is really good. You get wanton and sweet and sour sauce right when you sit down. Crab rangoons do not skimp on the filling. Portions are small on some dishes but huge on others. No dessert options, limited drink choices, and price is about what you'd expect to pay based on the look of the restaurant.

“We were pleasantly surprised to find this place.”

We were pleasantly surprised to find this place. We were passing through from St. Louis back home and was hungry. Chinese food sounded good so we thought we'd stop in Lincoln. The outside of the building is very deceiving. Inside, it is very well decorated and very inviting. We started with a 6 piece order of Crab Rangoon-- they nailed it! It is SO good! Very creamy and the outside of it was just crispy enough to be good, but not too crispy or burnt. Each of our meals were very good, served hot, and we had enough to take some home. In Lincoln???....GO!!

Lincoln, IL. Being picky about where we eat chinese. We decided to try Chi Family Restaurant. I usually only eat chinese food in major cities like Chicago, N.Y., SF, etc... The place has a wonderful family feel to it. They are very friendly upon entering. Mongolian Beef Moo Shu Pork Egg Rolls Both dishes were very good and a lot of food. We have decided to eat here more often. Overall, the food was delicious, service was excellent, and the hostess was so friendly. Just don't be the first one to pay with credit card. It the machine likes to sleep in 😀 Support this locally owned small business

“Chi is perfect for a quick and delicious lunch or a nice family dinner.”

Chi is perfect for a quick and delicious lunch or a nice family dinner. They also have vegetarian options for those who don't eat meat which is wonderful. The service is quick and wonderful; very much a family place. I eat here more than I would like to admit!

“Stopped here during a road trip.”

Stopped here during a road trip. Affordable and delicious! Had the moo shu beef and it was on point. The crab ragoons are good too. They offer fried wontons with sweet and sour Sauce, a sort of chips and salsa twist as well as tea. The place was decorated nicely. It's located in a strip mall.

“The food was good.”

The food was good. I think it seemed pretty Americanized, but it still tasted good. The staff was friendly.

“The broccoli chicken was just boiled chicken with no seasoning and boiled broccoli.”

The broccoli chicken was just boiled chicken with no seasoning and boiled broccoli. The rice was old and dry and stale. I ordered crab ragoon and didn't get it. Will never eat here again.
