"Aside from being a good late-night spot (Chi Cafe is open until 2am), this casual Chinatown restaurant is a perfect place for an affordable meal. Hidden in its overwhelmingly long menu is a section labeled “On Rice.” There you can get a heaping scoop of steamed rice and a side, like chunks of stewed beef with vegetables in a savory sauce, spicy Sichuan shrimp and eggplant, or saucy mapo tofu—all for around $7.95. That way, even if you’ve spent most of your money on drinks and karaoke you can still grab a meal here afterward." - john ringor, veda kilaru
