"What’s this place doing across the street from the Lincoln Tunnel? It’s almost like it’s avoiding you. But don’t let it. Chi isn’t just one of the best-looking restaurants in the area, it’s also where you’ll find some of the most impressive food. If you’re planning a group dinner and need something a little more upscale, snag a gray leather booth and split some mapo tofu under a hanging glass sculpture. The menu is mostly Sichuan, but it also has everything from dim sum and Peking duck to general tso’s and great spicy cumin lamb." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, hannah albertine, will hartman
