Chi Star House just open 2 days ago..
I expect confusion during the first week or so when a business opens up. So this review is based on their soft opening and trying to figure things out.
The open concept deco is really simple. The space feels really spacious and inviting. Tons of booth seating which is great for small group.
Chi Star House is kind of a mixture of Cantonese and Hong Kong Style Cafe. With breakfast (8-11), lunch (11-3), afternoon tea (2:30-5:30) and dinner (5- 11 pm). All time slot has set special available the includes a drink or a soup.
Arriving at 6 pm looking for something light and the waitress gave me a regular menu that only have dishes that are good for groups... I feel really not single friendly. I should have left but ended up suck it up and ordered Satay Beef with Vermicelli in Hot Pot ($7.99). The portion was really good at that price point but just lack satay taste and the sizzling hot pot factor.
While talking to another waitress complaining about the lack of other options during dinner. She said they have noodles, fried rice and even all day special from $4.99!!!! Ended up I was not given the special menu and they didn't realize that the all day menu is grouped under breakfast.....
I guess I need to come back and try out their $4.99 special... but for now 2.5 star rounded up to 3 with room for improvement!!
