    This was an okay place for Americanized Chinese food but expect sweeter flavors in all the dishes. I came for lunch with 3 others around 11:30 am on a Friday and was one of the first tables seated. It's definitely a popular lunch spot, as it filled up quite a bit by the time we left. The restaurant is a good size with natural lighting in the daytime. I had somewhat high expectations since it's so highly rated, but it definitely caters to American tastes. None of us were particularly impressed and probably won't be coming back. We ordered 4 dishes to share: Garlic shrimp ($21.55 for large) Black bean fish fillet ($22.25) Szechwan pork ($18.55 for large) Garlic chicken ($18.55 for large) Sadly all the dishes looked about the same when they were served, in a brown sauce. Only the protein and the accompanying veggies were different, though all dishes had bell peppers and onions as the main veggies. The taste wasn't that different between the dishes either, tbh. Everything was on the sweeter side, even the black bean fish which normally is a very savory dish. At least the fish was more savory than the others. Because of this, it was my favorite dish of the meal. The Schewan pork was sweet and a litle bit sour, while the shrimp and chicken in garlic sauce didn't have any garlic taste at all. Very disappointing. Even though we got large for 3 of the dishes, the portions were smaller than we expected. If I didn't know better I would've thought they were the small portion. At least we got complimentary soup (your choice of chicken corn or hot and sour), house salad, and rice with our meal since we came for lunch (11-3 daily).

    Veggie Chow Mein (Soft Noodles) - Vegetables

    We've been coming to Chi's Chinese for over 25 years, and it is hands-down the best Chinese food around. Truly a local gem. They have indoor seating, but we very often order takeout--and it's always just as fresh and delicious. Every item is consistently great, never greasy, and full of flavor. Our favorites are the shrimp rolls, kung pao chicken, beef and broccoli, sweet and pungent shrimp or chicken, and the chow mein. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Quality and consistency are what keep us coming back year after year. The parking lot can get busy, but it's fairly large and we usually don't have an issue finding a spot. This is the best Chinese food we've had, and we'll continue to be loyal customers for many more years to come. Highly recommend

    Chef's Special
    Thu-Ha T.

    We had lunch here on a weekday afternoon and were seated promptly. We enjoyed the siu mai dim sum, hot and sour soup, and the scallion pancake (same with a peanut type sauce on the side) and the Chef's special that day which was ground beef or pork (I can't remember), noodles, savory sauce, scallions, and thin slices of cucumber. Atmosphere was cozy and service was attentive. Located in a plaza. The parking lot can get very busy and there are some street parking.

    Walnut Shrimp
    Mike T.

    Came here early, Saturday night, for dinner. This place is busy. Lots of takeout orders. Our wait was about 10 minutes. Once seated we decided on the dim sum sampler. Everything on the platter was really good and tasted like it was house made. The walnut shrimp dish was a table favorite. Crispy shrimp coated with a sauce and candied walnuts added nice crunch. The king pao was spicy but the dish still had great flavor. Unfortunately the vegetable chow mein lacked any flavor. Service was kind of slow but they were busy. Overall a solid meal. We will return to try other offerings

    Entrance

    First thing to be aware of, the parking is chaotic due to the number of shops in the center. Luckily, this restaurant is in the corner so street parking is an option available. Walking in, we were automatically greeted and sat in the lobby til our table of 7 was ready. This spot is ideal for a few large parties or a smaller group. Given the portions for the food, best to go in with people who like to share and then you can try several plates. Server was friendly but there was a bit of a language barrier that led to some back and forth when putting in our order. Beverages are limited but they do have some wine and beer options. I went with lemonade due to unlimited refills. To eat, I liked the chefs calamari (may be a little too salty for some), orange chicken, and the walnut shrimp. We ordered additional plates but you want to be mindful. Like I said, they're large and filled us pretty quickly.

    Saw this chinese place in northridge and tried date night with wife. The service was top notch , which was a rare sight for chinese restaurant. The food was good. We wanted to try a local xiao long bao place, and it did the trick for a quick craving satisfaction. Mongolian beef was on point with their sauce. Delicious, sweet, and tangy for the beef. Walnut shrimp was creamy and shrimp pairs well with walnut. Dish that goes down easily with rice. Overall, wife and I were impressed and will come back if chinese craving hits again.

    Lunch deal
    Maddie M.

    I love coming here for lunch because they have a really great lunch deal. One of my favorite dishes is the shrimp with walnuts it's hard to find that dish done well at other places, but they do it really good here. The tea is also so fresh and tasty! The restaurant itself is always super clean and nice, which makes it a pleasant place to eat. The service is just okay, nothing amazing but it gets the job done. Overall, it's a solid spot for lunch, especially if you're looking for a good deal and a clean, comfortable place to eat.

    Chi's has improved. The food is still good and the staff is friendly. Steamed rice isn't a separate charge anymore and the portions appear to have increased. The lunch menu is also a great deal. My mom was very impressed with the hot and sour soup. It is still loud inside, even with only a few patrons.

    The staff was in a great mood and instantly greeted me as soon as I walked in. The place was packed and I could see why. The food was clean, service was quick. Definitely recommend the sweet and pungent chicken as well as the chicken with vegetable soup.

    Egg roll and Shrimp Roll

    My daughter wanted some good egg drop soup. This place came up to try. Place looked clean and full of people. The lady at the counter was kind and friendly. Dumplings were good. Soup was good

    Cashew Chicken - Small
    Cindy P.

    Chi's is one of my favorite Chinese food restaurants in the valley. It's clean, spacious, and modern. The food is made fresh and I enjoy every bite. It can get very busy in the evenings and weekends, which makes parking challenging. Their service is friendly and they try and sit you as promptly as possible. My favorites are their chow fun noodles and cashew nut chicken with the white meat option. The only complaint I've recently had is that the last two times, they've brought out my cashew chicken without the cashews. I made a comment both times and they fixed the order. Like I said, good, friendly, service and I will continue coming and recommend this spot for great food!

    Yang Chow Fried Rice
    Jacklyn D.

    I've been in the valley all my life and have seen this restaurant, but haven't got the chance to go until recently! I think the food is delicious and for a reasonable price! Everything is served family style but they offer 2 different sizes. I came here for my friend's birthday and the service was amazing. We were greeted and welcomed and seated so quickly. We were a party of 13, so they do large party reservations. Everyone in there was genuinely so nice! What we tried: - calamari - yang chow fried rice - hot and sour soup - honey walnut shrimp - combination lo mein Everything was delicious and I highly recommend the calamari and honey walnut shrimp. I think they gave a pretty generous portion for all dishes, but especially the calamari and honey walnut shrimp. Parking can be a little challenging at the plaza it is located at, but you can find street and residential parking across the street. I highly recommend coming to this restaurant or even ordering for take out!

Everything I had was laden with this heavy, greasy, fattening stuff. If you're a fan of cooking oil, this is your go-to spot for sure. I had the "gourmet" dinner. That means Mongolian beef, my usual in basic old-school Chinese places like this. I chose won ton soup over the seafood soup choice. The broth was fine, but the won tons were thick and doughy. Not great. The beef seemed of a decent quality, but was absolutely floating in oil. This made the green and white onions too soft and mushy and dripping with oil. Ditto the very messy foil wrapped chicken appetizer, but the egg roll was okay, if bland. There are plenty of excellent choices for all types of Chinese cuisine in the Valley. No need to come here. Again though, remember I only had one dish, but I have an idea it's indicative of the entire menu.​

Parking lot is small and spots are tight. They have a one way in and one way out but also more parking in the back. We managed to get parking up front and ordered immediately as soon as we walked in. The lady told us about 10 minutes but I swear it finished in 5! Really great customer service, the young lady was very sweet and it was a smooth process to order take out. The place was a little empty probably because we got there shortly after they had just opened. Maybe like one person dining in and 2 others ordering take out as well. The vibes in here take me back to my childhood with the carpet floor and booth seating. It was also very dark inside. My family and I would go to the A&W down the street for every Sunday dim sum and also for family parties and that's what it reminded me of. We took our food home to enjoy and loved everything! Great quality and my mom said they are also owned by A&W but not sure if that's true or not. It did have the same quality so maybe!

Tl;dr: if you're curious, don't waste your time, bafang is open 5min away Preface: I KNOW it's mall food, but for a restaurant that continuously pops up as #1 on Yelp whenever I search for food around the northridge/chatsworth area, I'm going to treat it as if it were a #1 spot. Beef noodle soup: to be very blunt, this was quite flavorless. The beef was dry as bones and looked like it was sliced with a mandoline. The noodles seemed undercooked and it felt like I was eating al dente spaghetti noodles. I got a medium spice level which didn't even seem that spicy, just a lot of cough inducing chili oil with no burn. Pan fried dumplings were ok. It honestly tasted like it was deep fried and not pan fried. Unsweetened black tea: hands down the best of the 3 things in the combo, which is quite telling. Honestly you get a decent amount of food for $15. But to constantly take the top 5 for recommended on Yelp in this area and waste my time to even look at it, it definitely doesn't belong remotely close to top 10.
