“I was glad to discover the Nikkei cuisine, which is an authentic fusion of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine created by the Japanese immigrants to Peru more than a 100 years ago”

Stopped in on a Saturday night for drinks and some appetizers.
I was excited to try this place as it has been hyped up on social media, but I was very underwhelmed.

“Came for happy hour and absolutely loved their watermelon margarita.”
Came for happy hour and absolutely loved their watermelon margarita. The service was great and the ambiance was cozy and inviting which makes it nice for a date night or a girls’ night out. Im definitely coming back to try their Sunday tea brunch!

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.”
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. We came here for my 18th birthday dinner since I wanted a relaxing but artistic restaurant with either Mexican or Asian cuisine, and Casa Chi was the PERFECT place. The guacamole was phenomenal, the Yuzu desert was light and delicious, the hot plates were wonderful, but above all the chef and waitress were able to make me a lychee tea in a beautiful teapot that was to die for. Our waitress, Elaina, was absolutely wonderful and so sweet. If I’m in Chicago again, I will be coming back in a heartbeat.

“A great fusion restaurant.”
A great fusion restaurant! The service and food are great as well. You should love it if you enjoy Peru, Japanese, and Mexican food. Enjoyed the sushi, tacos, and stone tenderloin.

Wow! What an awesome experience and our waiter was great! Loved the atmosphere and we went during “happy hour” (4-7PM weekdays I believe) and got 3-4 things on their happy hour menu and split them along with drinks at a decent price ($12). Was a great evening out!

“This is my absolute favorite spot in town.”
This is my absolute favorite spot in town! If you haven’t visited yet please treat yourself. The drinks are not only so yummy but also worth the price with the fire and bubbles and other cool features. Not to mention the food is fire!!! This is the kind of restaurant little girls dream of going to with their girl friends and having cocktails and sushi. Honorable mention to our waitress, Adiam! She was so kind and made sure we never needed for anything. She helped to guide us through the menu, which was helpful with some family members we had in town who weren’t as familiar with sushi. Can’t wait to come back for the Boozy Tea on Sunday! Seems like a great deal for even more foood!

Absolute must visit spot in the city! Tron, Kaylie, & Asdrubal are the best bar tenders in the business! The entire staff makes everyone feel welcomed and special upon walking in, we never wanted to leave! Can’t wait to go back to my new favorite spot.
