I love visiting the CHI Family Restaurant the family that run it are a local friendly smaller town family. The food is consistently on point with the expectations of Americanized Chinese cuisine. The restaurant's interior is very modern feeling, as well as extremely spacious. I usually order the General Tso's chicken, which has a sweet and slightly spicy flavor combination.
