Chi Chi’s

This place is the real deal. We went in knowing the hype was strong, and we were still blown away. It was busy even for early dinner, but the service was still fast and friendly. The food was truly phenomenal. We were able to try the wings, chicken sandwich, and veggie sandwich, and all of them were delicious. The chicken is not as spicy as I was expecting, but the flavor was still very good. We will definitely be back.

Tried ChiChi’s after seeing a bunch of promotional flyers on campus, and it delivered! I had never heard of a sushi sandwich before, but it was great! I want to go back and try another flavor, and I probably will, since now all of my friends want to eat here too. The fries and chicken sandwich were also very very good! So glad we have this new spot uptown!

Cozy place with a very easy going vibe and menu. KFC Sandwich is a must. Kudos for the Kakigori (ice cream) dessert… it’s a beautiful contrast and soothing for the paladar after the spicy wings.

Went on Sunday afternoon around 2pm. I counted 28 patrons inside and out. 2 servers, 1 bartender and at least 2 in kitchen. I got the KFC and a side of dicon. The chicken has a sauce on it, I can't place all the flavors. It's not hot wing sauce, but it's red with a hint of heat and sweetness. I loved it. The pickled radish was also spot on. I'll definitely go back. It's a smaller space, and limited menu, but it's worth a visit. See pic for beer tower between guys on table.

Kimchi fried rice 👎 Pretty tasteless, small portion, expensive. Incomprehensibly, no zip from the kimchee. Wings 👍 Good, not as crisp as wings in Koreatown in Dallas, flavor good but not great when compared to MoPho. Thigh sammy 👍 Friend liked this more than me. It was good, but not better than Popeyes (gold standard). “Sushi Sammy” Salmon/jalapeño 👎 Tasteless, hard to eat. Like something invented as a ”concept” (Let’s instagram it!). Missing wasabi and/or ginger. Needed acidity. Flat. (Major props to our server for warning us the kitchen uses canned tuna in another variation, yet the owners have the cojones to call it sushi). Shaved ice 👍 Excellent texture (like snow) but needed more syrup/flavor. Very noisy inside (no soft surfaces) with music blaring (a lot of new restaurants think this is hip). Friend found the interior warm and stuffy. Service was superior. Nice use of containers for water on each table. Good lighting. Outside seating available.

Took a second to get a seat because they had a full house. Once our food came I see why! My friends and I shared food, so I got to try a few things. Both Sandwiches and onigirazu were delicious, but the wings… BEST WINGS I’VE HAD, EVER. Texture, flavor etc. on mf point!! Can’t wait to go back. Staff was friendly and quick. The place and location were nice too. Even grabbed a tee shirt on the way out the door. Looking forward to the next time I make it to New Orleans for a bite to eat! Thank you Chichis chicken & beer.

We really loved dining at Chi Chi’s. From the moment we arrived until we left, everything was very well handled. I appreciate Adolfo, Sophia, and the entire staff for putting together such an amazing experience. I’m already looking forward to my next visit. This restaurant exceeded all my expectations. You do not often find a place where every element comes together so perfectly. I’ll be recommending it to all my friends. 10/10 we <3 Chi Chi’s

There’s so little Korean food representation in Nola, and even the traditional restaraunt in Metairie was not up to my standards. I don’t know exactly how traditional this spot is, but I at least had a better experience here than I did there. I tried 4 items at the bar. The weakest was the cucumber salad. It did not impress me at all and was the only bad thing. They should take some pointers from the guy on TikTok. And make it spicy and remove the crunchy part of the salad. The radishes were solid and delicious. Nothing else to say. I wish they were free though. I guess we ARE uptown… The fried chicken sushi sandwich was okay. It was very small for the price. The actual Korean chicken sandwich was alright. I probably wouldn’t order it again. It had too much slaw. I would also advertise it as a slider as it was tiny. I think they should add some of those radishes to the sandwich to fix it personally. One thing I realized is that everything seems very transient. The place just opened so I expect it will get better. Everything used temporary plates and the like. The sushi sandwich was wrapped in plastic wrap and everything was disposable. Presentation of things could be waaaay better. Servers were great and helpful. This place was packed and they still were great. The space is cute and they made the most of the limited space they have. A personal pet peeve of mine are service fees. I think of myself as an alright tipper, better than average people, but whenever I see anything resembling a service fee my desire to tip goes way down. This place has a flat 3.5% service fee which isn’t the worst, but again, a pet peeve.
