Even when it's busy, they pace out the seating and the food without acting stressed. I especially like the wonton soup. I always ask them to hold the noodles and add more bok choy, and they kindly comply. The broth is savory and comforting, and the wontons are plump and tender. The peanut salad is one of the best things on the menu IMO. The crunchy peanuts are mixed with cilantro, spring onion, chilis and a delicious dressing. Yummy and definitely addictive. My husband loves the beef roll and Dan Dan noodles. The scallion pancakes are usually crisp and delicious.

However as soon as we finished the line started forming out the door. Perfect timing for us. We were sad that they were sold out of the pork belly rice but they had everything else. We ordered the chicken rice, hong kong style french toast, spicy wontons, and beef noodle soup. The noodle soup was hearty and flavorful. The noodles were chewy and bouncy. The chicken rice was delicious! We had to order another one cause we loved it so much. The spicy wontons were good too but similar to other places. The highlight though.. the french toast. We wanted to save it for dessert and it was still crispy, perfectly sweet and hit the spot. The staff was super friendly and checked on us a few times. But it was the annoying way when they keep coming to you. (If you know what I mean) Definitely will be returning if I can with my family.

I ordered the chicken bowl, pork belly bowl, and the kaya toast. I liked that the chicken bowl was unique; it was slightly brothy shredded chicken on top of white rice. It was well-seasoned and not too overpowering. The pork belly was reminiscent of home cooking, but not quite there. I think other restaurants really punch up the seasoning when made. The kaya toast was great because it wasn't too sweet. I really enjoyed this. Overall, it was good, but nothing to write home about. Considering the wait time and all the hype, I thought it was just decent.

They were all delicious but the stand outs were the beef noodle soup and the popcorn chicken. Also stayed for dessert which we got the mochi, peanut and black sesame.

Went early to see if anything opened or if walk-in would be faster, surprisingly they actually had something come available sooner. We opted to sit inside and loved the ambiance. Food - amazing! I read reviews first and watched a couple IG videos so I knew a general idea of what we wanted to order. Glad the server suggested the orange chicken over the walnut shrimp when we were debating it. Chil wontons, absolutely a must get, different from DTF, not crazy spicy but full of flavor and richness. XO fatty noodles, perfect chewiness on the rolled noodles and the flavors were well balanced, we enjoyed them with a little chili paste and the orange chicken as the protein. Orange chicken, soooo much more flavorful than your average Panda Express orange chicken, good sized nuggets of chicken that were crispy and tender at the same time, and the zest livened it up. BBQ pork shank, our server did warn us it's not the easiest to eat, but it's worth it, hard to see cutting it off the bone because it was so dimly lite in the restaurant and your hands will get sticky but once you get chunks off the bone and your bao bun built it's delicious especially when you get the lacquered crispy skin yummm! Only skip for the night was the mango sticky rice. Much rather would've spend $8 on something else. The mango was tart/sour. The sticky rice was too wet and mushy. It was a pass for both of us. Service - our server was awesome. From greeting to end, he was the right amount of attentive and was super helpful with suggestions. Everyone from the food runner to the busser, they were all so nice. From getting us chili paste or to go containers, customer service was on point. Parking - love love that are a few parking spaces right out front. They're metered. But after 8pm it was free so perfect for us. Other than those spaces, there's a lot across the street if you want to risk it or also side streets parking too.

Ambiance is stylish and dim inside, and it started to get quite loud inside. Service was attentive throughout our meal. What we tried: - Beef roll ($22) - with scallion pancake wrapped around wagyu beef, chili mayo, served with a side of beef broth. I loved this one, every bite was a burst of flavors and textures and the combination was so tasty! - Squid ink Xiao long bao ($18) - shrimp and pork dumplings, these were good but pretty standard compared to other XLB I've had - 3 cup chicken ($21) - made with garlic, ginger, green onion, Thai basil, dried chili. The chicken was so tender and the dish super garlicky which I loved. Goes well with rice, but is a bit on the salty side - XO fatty noodles ($20) - rolled chow fun with bean sprouts, garlic chives, and XO sauce. Amazingly garlicky and savory, and I just love the texture of the rolled chow fun Definitely a solid neighborhood spot I find myself coming back to! Metered or neighborhood parking.

The braised pork belly was so incredibly soft and melt-in-your-mouth, and paired with the pickled carrots and cucumbers tucked into that steamed bao bun - so juicy. We also got the scallion pancakes which were crispy, chewy, and came with a soy ginger dipping sauce. The wood ear mushroom and bean curd stick salad was a nice lighter contrast to the heavier dishes too. We tried the beef noodles as well. The noodles were a bit on the tougher side, which is kind of expected with this style, but the flavors were solid overall. But do NOT sleep on dessert. I had to order the deep fried bao bun with ice cream scoop inside and it was delicious. Absolutely worth saving room for if you're looking to end your meal off with a sweet treat! Parking is easy with plenty of street parking nearby. Love that there's both indoor and outdoor seating - the patio outside is perfect for bigger groups at night, and the inside has its own aesthetic vibe that's equally great.

It was a but busy when we got there but luckily we got seared pretty shortly after arrival. We originally wanted to sit at the bar, but opted for a table for less wait time. When first looking at the menu we were shocked by the prices. I knew immediately i wanted to get the hui tou potstikers with pork and noodles. We ended up adding on the hongkong style wontons too. To my suprise the wontons arrived in a delicious and warm broth, keeping them perfectly moist and plump. The broth was so delicious even on a hot day, tasting faintly of sesame and scallion. Despite both dishes being pork they were so different and equally amazing in flavor. The pan fried potstikers which were CRISPED TO PERFECTION especially reminded me of black bean shortribs that you get from dimsum, fatty but hearty and had me wanting more and more each bite. The minced pork noodles were to no suprise, so good. Noodles tasted fresh, the sauce was umami with mushrooms and pork. While im not the biggest fan of mushrooms, i still ate it up. I feel it would be so good with some picked cabbage too to complement the saltiness. Most notable thing... THAT CHILI OIL. We probably used almost half the jar left at the table. It wasnt spicy at all, but it had this flavor that i genuinely have never tasted before. The texture of the chilli and sesame and the nutty flavor had me in awe. Enough to take two jars home... i would do it again. Servers were so quick, made sure everything we needed was at the table. Regardless of the crowd we were met with promptness and generosity. This that wonton place your girl tells you not to worry about forreal. Will be coming back despite the long drive from home.

My friend and I shared the Lomo Saltado (filet mignon over a bed of rice with cherry tomato and onion with fries), Black Pepper Shrimp and siu mai. To drink I chose the Thai Basil Vanilla--almost like a Thai Vanilla iced latte! The Lomo Saltado was really good with rice. No notes here! The Black Pepper Shrimp was great too but had some heat, so not for someone who can't handle spicy especially on a hot summer day. I must say the prawns were huge! Super flavorful spices and went really well with the white rice. Siu Mai was great, kinda wished there were 4 instead of 3...had to be a bigger person and offer the last one to my friend haha! Now the decor was super cool. Loved the rich green velvet seating & the gold accent lighting fixtures. Although the seats weren't the comfiest, but it made a pretty IG photo ;) I shall return again, Chifa!
