Taichi Restaurant — Restaurant in Christchurch

8th December 2019 - This is a Chinese restaurant that is located at Spit Fire Square. It is quite visible at the intersection of Memorial Ave and Peter Leeming Drive.

The place is decorated with a Chinese theme and is also well lit.

The dim sum menu is very straightforward with Chinese and English wordings. It is not overwhelming (which is a good thing) with choices but rather nicely balanced. They also sell alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks🍷🍺🍹🥃🥛.

Overall, it was a good experience from this Chinese restaurant.

This is a child-friendly restaurant.

This is a licensed (🍻🍸🍷🍾🍹🍺) eatery. There is no outdoor dining area.

There is plenty of onsite parking 🅿.

They accept cash and EFTPOS including credit card payments (Paywave payments are available, for those who want to know).

Would I go back? Yes 😀. Well worth a try and you will not be disappointed.

Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. It was yummy dim sum 😋. Ambience: ⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Relax atmosphere. Price: ⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Reasonable pricing compared to other Chinese restaurants in Christchurch. Customer service: ⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Friendly staff. I strongly recommend that you make a reservation for dim sum as to avoid any...

We had dinner at Tai Chi Restaurant today, and unfortunately, it fell far below expectations. The service was extremely poor, with hardly any staff available to attend to us. The person who took our order seemed completely clueless, which set the tone for an unorganized evening.

Even basic service, like refilling water, was neglected—we had to get up ourselves to handle such essentials. Toward the end of our meal, we wanted to order another main dish, but we were abruptly informed that the kitchen had closed. It was disappointing that the staff didn’t provide a heads-up or call for a last order beforehand, which is a fundamental courtesy in restaurant service.

The overall experience was frustrating and lacked the professionalism expected from a dining establishment. I hope the management addresses these issues to improve their...

Took a friend for dinner. You need to be strong to pull open the door. Greeted by friendly staff. I had salt and pepper squid, my friend had satay beef and we shared some fried rice. Squid did not taste of any salt or pepper, almost like they forgot to use salt and pepper, had chilli and spring onion. Disappointing as I love this. It was also not very hot, it should be piping hot when served. The ftidc rice was nice, a bit oily and half cold. Beef satay was nice, satay s little watery, and again half cold. We had wontons as a starter, very small filling and not that nice. Expensive for what you get. Mains are quite dear compared to other places I have been, probably not that good...
