Chi Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Bloomington

My family and I just finished a meal from Chi and it's probably the most boring, bland "Chinese" food we've had in a long time. I ordered the crab rangoon, egg rolls, kung pao chicken and pork lo mein.

The crab rangoon was the creamy, sugary appetizer that most people want. 5/10. Nothing special.

The eggrolls were chewy and had no flavor beyond cabbage. 3/10. They weren't gross. *My 3.5 year old will devour an eggroll from anywhere else we go. He took one bite of this and left it on his plate.

The kung pao chicken didn't taste like anything beyond a hint of spice. We couldn't find any real flavor in the dish. 3/10. It wasn't gross.

The pork lo mein didn't taste like anything but starch and a tiny bit of pork flavor. The texture was fine but they were so bland. 3/10. It wasn't gross.

Our meal was just under $40 and the best we could say about it was "well it wasn't gross". I can't understand how anyone thinks this is good Chinese food. We frequent Sichuan in Normal, Great Wall and First Wok. Those places all run circles around Chi. I'd happily eat Panda Express before returning to Chi.

Anyone that reads this and hasn't been to Sichuan please do yourself a favor and go eat real Chinese food.

Needless to say we will not be returning to Chi. "It wasn't gross" just isn't...

Chi Family Express is a hidden gem when it comes to Chinese cuisine. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, ranging from classic favorites to unique specialties.

One dish that really stood out to me was their General Tso's Chicken. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, coated in a delicious sweet and tangy sauce. It had just the right amount of heat, giving it a nice kick without being overpowering.

Another must-try is their Beef and Broccoli. The beef was incredibly tender, and the broccoli was cooked to perfection, still retaining its vibrant green color and crunch. The flavors melded together beautifully, creating a satisfying and flavorful dish.

The service at Chi Family Express was top-notch. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They were more than happy to make recommendations and accommodate any dietary preferences or restrictions.

Overall, Chi Family Express is a fantastic Chinese restaurant that delivers on both taste and experience. Whether you're craving classic Chinese dishes or looking to try something new, this place has got...
