"Chi offers traditional and elegantly plated modern variations on traditional Chinese food. Chef Di Long adds delicate complexities to common Chinese dishes like walnut shrimp lightly brushed with cornstarch and steamed broccoli smothered in honey-sweet cream sauce with a hint of lemon. Or try the caramelized chicken claypot with shitake, basil, scallions, onions, and baby potatoes. For a bit of drama, enjoy the fire show of the roll with snow crab baked salmon on top and unagi sauce. Long previously owned La Magie pastry shop and her talent carries over to the dessert menu including a deconstructed s’more cheesecake; don’t miss the pastry case on the way out if dessert wasn’t part of dinner. In the summer months, outdoor dining is available on a fenced patio. Once a month, Chi is also the only place to get housemade dim sum in Bend; keep an eye on Instagram for details." - Barb Gonzalez
