It was late, so we decided to eat at Chi, one of the restaurants of the resort where we stay. I told the hostess that my Vietnamese first name is Chi, and we had good conversations to start off. We got seated right away at a half moon booth nicely decorated. I love the ysage of red carpet and red table cloth, elegantly. We share the Fish Mawl soup, knowing that it's portion might be big for 2. The ingredients were selective, served with red venigar and black pepper, simple but tasty. For entrees, we shared the Seafood Panfried and Soft Noodles, Prawns in Salt and Pepper, and the Specialty Snowpa Tips in Farlic Sauce. It was a perfect meal. We didn't realize the portions were sizable for just two of us, but delicious. The jasmine tea, the friendly service, and the ambience created such a harmony dining experience. The bowl of white rice, to me, was too much and a bit wet, but traditionally, it might be the way. We loved it. read more

I give the 5th star because I met DAVID, the raconteur bartender for the Chi restaurant. Not only does he make excellent mixed drinks and Martinis, but he is a polymath and I always learn something from him. Never a boring visit. But, he will leave you alone if you want to eat or relax in peace. The bar area is to the right of the entrance. The food comes out quite quickly and the plates are chock full of proteins like shrimp and meats. They provide house-baked almond cookies as a complimentary dessert treat. They use fresh veggies and high quality ingredients. Very friendly and sweet male host at the entrance. Dark red and black interior. Tables and booth seating available in the restaurant side. The bar side have bar seats, some bar gambling game tops and some small lounging tables. They do take-out, just call your order in. Don't blink, you might pass this gem right by. Keep a lookout for the 2 large vases and you found it! read more

Was surprised but excited to be able to book a same-day 7:30 pm Mother's Day dinner. Didn't realize til we were given menus that they had a special Mother's Day menu: 3 courses for $67. Like always, our server, Kay, was awesome! He made sure we had a very enjoyable dinner celebration and always treats us like a favorite guest :) My daughter and I did the special menu. She tried the deep fried whole fish with sweet and sour sauce and I tried the shrimp and scallop dish. We were so surprised at how big the fish was for the menu, that we could've shared one order. But all of the food was delicious! We especially enjoyed the raspberry mousse dessert. So many components that complemented the dish. Thank you for making it a wonderful way to end my Mother's Day! read more

Another trip to Peppermill, another fantastic meal at Chi! The host has a great attitude, and our waitress, Keira, was so thoughtful and attentive. It was our anniversary and she made it extra special. We had the Mongolian Beef, which was tender and full of flavor. We also had a large piece of their famous coconut pineapple cake. It was out of this world!! The whole restaurant is beautiful and perfect for a special occasion. We will definitely be back. Thanks to everyone at Chi for a memorable evening. read more

We're staying at Peppermill for my daughter's volleyball tournament this weekend, and after a terrible experience at another restaurant in the hotel where we couldn't eat, we decided to give this place a try. It was late so we got our food to go. We asked about accommodating a gluten allergy, and the assistant manager was incredibly helpful. She took the time to answer all of our questions and even went back to the kitchen whenever she wasn't sure. The gentleman taking our order was also very friendly and more than willing to double-check everything to ensure our food was safe. We ordered the Mongolian beef with rice to share, and it was good. We also got the calamari as an appetizer it was gluten-free, but fried in a shared fryer, so I chose not to eat it. Overall, it was a good experience, a little pricey. Appetizer and one dish was $53.00. Very friendly and helpful staff. read more

I was in need of a late night meal so I took a chance and wandered into Chi, i'm sat in the bar. As you know, if you play video poker ball sitting in the bar, you don't have to pay for your drinks. I should've got his name that the guy working there was amazing! I said what's the best thing on the menu. He said it's not on the menu, but I highly recommend it. It's the general cho beef. Flash fried top sirloin! It was incredible and even the rice was good, which is kind of weird cause it's just rice. The food came out really fast and fresh and the lighting was good. The seats were nice. read more

Chi - General Cho Beef - Chinese Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I saw the review and said no way this place looks way to fancy. So the decor and vibe is a 5. Super elevated from your basic place. When the food came out it was priced very well and there was so much of it. The service was good. However the food was mid/meh at best. On one hand I'm glad it wasn't good because I didn't over eat and on the other I was expecting bomb pot stickers and pad Thai. Even the chili sauce couldn't save the dish. It was under seasoned, the chicken was rubbery and the fact I had to mix it up myself was a disaster in its self. Nice visit but won't go back. read more

The place is decorated nicely and the atmosphere fits the dishes, but to be honest, the food was not worth the price point. It's a good place for a date, but the food was average. The egg plant was good, the chow fun lacked meat, the pork dish was mediocre, and the steamed fish could've been better. The service was okay, it could've been better seeing as this place is supposed to be upscale. read more

This is the first time I came to Chi, the fancy Chinese restaurant inside the Peppermill Casino. I will say it's decorated pretty fancy in here, not like your mom and pop Chinese restaurant that's for sure. Normally, I don't come to places liker this, I'd rather go to a regular Chinese restaurant, but I'm being taken here by a local friend. I see the menu, holy crap, these prices are about double what the same food would be at a regular place. Pot Stickers for $21? Really? or chow mien for $27? OK, I didn't say anything cause I'm not the one paying. There were some real exotic stuff on the menu too, that I had no idea what it was, cause I didn't know fishes had "maws" or what a "Sea Cucumber" even looks like! He didn't order anything too weird at least! We had crab rangoons, pot stickers and beef chow fun with black bean sauce and the honey walnut prawns. I will say, all the food was pretty tasty and cooked well, the chow fun was good as were the prawns .... but I did notice they were $37 just for that dish! We both enjoyed the food here, but me personally I probably wouldn't come back, well, OK, unless I wasn't the one paying! I think a lot of the people eating here must be getting comped cause they're high rollers! read more

Fine dining Chinese food! Beautiful decor and great service. The lychee martini is delish! We came in almost at close and they accommodated us. The spring rolls and potstickers were good. The hot and sour soup was a huge bowl! The stir fried rice noodles were packed with veggies and very flavorful. The star of the night was the 1/2 Peking duck! Perfectly cooked and meaty! We ended with the complimentary almond cookies and the mango tapioca pudding. read more

Made reservations one month in advance, requesting booth, as table . One star off for not getting the booth, even there are several booths available. The restaurant over all is busy, with diners enjoying their dinner. The food is good over all, but the seafood bowl is bit salty, couple of scallops are over cooked which is not a dealbreaker... the gravy is good that will compensate for the scallops mishaps. Peaking duck is moist, perfect with the bun and hoisin sauce. I enjoyed the seafood noodles ... no complaints. read more

Incredibly beautiful interior but with incredibly bad food. We let our children choose so the dishes were familiar westernized dishes like pot stickers, orange chicken, pad thai. The pot stickers tasted exactly like the ones frozen in a bag from costco, 6 for $20! The orange chicken was thickly battered huge chunks of both dark and white chicken, usually my kids favorite and they barely ate it. The worst was the pad thai, it was very very spicy with a watery vinegary taste and served with a lemon wedge and a thick blanket of scrambled eggs. The white rice was too wet/mushy. We did get a side of mixed veggies that was ok and the dessert of tapioca in mango puree was enjoyed. Server was very kind and provided good service. I noticed most of the staff appeared to be Asian, but I don't think anyone in the kitchen was. Really surprised by the poor quality of the food, especially at this price point. 4 entrees and a dessert was $120+ read more

A great unique, dining and ambience experience. Really felt like I was in a Chinese palace. However, the service was a bit lacking, and the food came out too fast, which usually is not a good indicator. However, the food ended up being very tasteful and good, although it might not have been fresh, but not sure. The course sizes feed about four people. read more

Updating my review from some time ago - I still think the alcoholic drinks are DELICIOUS! I love a good cocktail that you can't taste the alcohol (but it definitely is in there)! Ordered the orange chicken and honey walnut shrimp. Both were cooked very well, and very flavorful! Staff was friendly, and no complaints there. Considering it's a Chinese restaurant inside a casino, ambiance wasn't that bad, not too loud from my experience. read more

Excellent food and great service. We will come again!! Had pot stickers, and mongolian beef.

Amazing ambience and servers. They have all the delicious drinks. Food was surprisingly authentic for a Chinese restaurant in a casino. Some of the tables closer to the entrance smelled of smoke (unsurprisingly) but we were easily relocated. Will be back! read more

I love the atmosphere in Chi. It's got that "casino classy" vibe with heavy Asian and Chinese touches. The service is good as well. I felt that the food was just average. The ingredients are good, but the taste didn't blow me away. Especially the "moo goo gai pan". I went here partially because I love that dish, and I don't see it often on menus these days. But, it was bland and the sauce was not right. One thing I did love is their hot mustard; it was QUITE hot! I would go back, because I like the ambience, and the food is definitely not bad. read more

Four of us went here for dinner Saturday night. I was surprised that the restaurant wasn't crowded, but was glad we could get in without a reservation! The restaurant is beautiful and quite elegant. Our server arrived promptly and explained the menu. We decided to have the Chi combination dinner. It comes with an appetizer plate of crab Rangoon, eggrolls, and chicken drumsticks. Everything was very tasty. For our entrées, we chose General's chicken, Szechuan shrimp, Mongolian beef, and chicken with vegetables. They were all delicious. The Mongolian beef had a mild and subtle ginger sauce. The Szechuan shrimp was cooked perfectly with crispy vegetables. The general chicken was also quite tasty. Finally, while the chicken and vegetables was a little bland, there was a large array of perfectly cooked vegetables with the chicken. Finally, each guest also got a scoop of gelato and almond cookie for dessert. I think there were five choices of gelato to choose from and each flavor was delicious. The combination dinner is reasonably priced, the atmosphere is lovely and the surface was top notch. I would definitely go back. read more

I'm giving this two stars because the service was very good. Other than that, the food was horrible. The Mongolian beef had no taste, and I felt like it was spongy. We also had the walnut prawns. They were smothered over the top with cream and didn't taste that great. We also ordered the chicken fried rice. Even the chicken fried rice didn't taste good I needed some more flavor. We also ordered the general chicken. That chicken tasted dry. Later that night I ended up throwing up. I think it was the Chinese food. I do not recommend this restaurant. read more

The Chi offers delicious and traditional Chinese cuisine. It's somewhat pricey but Chi is located inside of The Peppermill Casino & Resort. It is closer to the south entrance, near the cabs. I ordered The Pan Fried Chicken with sweet peas, brown rice, fried pork dumplings and everything was delicious! I have also ordered the Sweet & Sour Chicken with bell peppers, onions, chunks of pineapple, & an amazing sweet & sour sauce. Chi offers many options of authentic Chinese cuisine, such as General Chicken, Sautéed Shrimp with Spicy Szechuan Sauce, Mongolian Beef, Sautéed Shrimp, Stir Fried Kung Pao Chicken, Lemon Chicken & Stir Fried Tender Beef with Bell Pepper or Broccoli. They have Dim Sum, Pork or Chicken, Steamed or Baked Buns. The ambience is very comforting, with dimmed lighting, a full bar, beautifully decorated with authentic, Chinese' furniture & carpets. The service has been a good experience. The greeters are friendly and helpful. I recommend Chi for delicious, authentic Chinese cuisine, and an amazing experience. Chi is located on the first floor of the Peppermill Casino. Bon Appétit! read more

What a fun place to go, especially for a group...there are many tables for large parties and what is more fun than sharing bowls of Asian deliciousness with your friends?

The TL;DR is Chi feels like a fancy Chinese restaurant with good service and pleasant ambiance, and mostly good food. Let's start with the food. It's catered to non-asians. With that out of the way, it tastes excellent for the most part, with some dishes combining flavors that don't really work together (like some of the chef's specialty clay pots). That said, some dishes are truly stand out, like the General's Beef, an off-menu not-so-secret-secret item. Their soups are also delicious and I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. The signature cocktails are all tasty but lean heavily in the direction of sweet. If you like sweet cocktails, go nuts, the entire menu is your oyster. They will serve sake hot if you ask, but it's a bit of a headache if you're expecting non-stop hot carafe service. If you're going to order sake, just order it cold or room temp. Service is professional, polite, and attentive. The place can sometimes find itself understaffed though (a problem in any casino location), so service experience may vary depending on how busy it is. I haven't had any issues with service so far though. Decor and ambiance is nice, with dark reds, gold trim, and dim lighting. Booths are fairly comfortable, although larger folks might feel a bit cramped. The dining room sets a nice mood, one of quiet conversation rather than being out a loud casual dining restaurant. And that's about it. This place is my go-to when I want to sit down for a nice Chinese dinner and drinks instead of just takeout. My asian relatives like it well enough, but I'd only really recommend Chi if you're looking for American style Chinese at slightly higher than casual prices. read more

Food was waaay too pricey. Came here for my birthday. It's just another typical Chinese cuisine place inside a casino with bougie decor. I wanted the whole fish and lobster. The lobster was overpriced per pound! Like $98 per pound! The whole fish was Not the sea bass that I saw in some reviews. That was disappointing. I wouldn't go back. Spent over $500 on this meal with me and my husband and friends. I would not be going back. read more

We had quite the big party here and the service was great. It was just very basic Chinese food though and I never got my hot n sour soup but everyone else got their soups.

Went here for Valentine's Day 2/14/24 The ambiance is amazing, the staff are friendly and very very helpful, expect the short blonde hair waitress. She's pushy and doesn't listen to your request at all. She basically dismissed us when I corrected her mistake, after trying to prevent it from happening twice, she's not a great listener. We ordered from the Valentine's Day special menu. First course: 3 salt and pepper chicken wings- which were very very good My Entree: Sautéed Scallops, Shrimp, Fish and asparagus- Good Fiancé Entree: Seared Steak with mushrooms and snap peas- Good flavor, but the steak wasn't edible. We don't eat well done steak and this is the only way it's prepared. So it was tough and dry Dessert: Green Tea Tart- Amazing and very beautiful Over all the experience was ok, it wasn't worth $170 for dinner. The portion sizes weren't the same, but the price was :-/ I'll probably be back, probably. read more
