Chi Modern Asain Cuisine - Swampscott

The food was quite good, albeit basic, and I really enjoyed my cocktail as well. I don't recall the cost, which likely means it was average or reasonable. I also don't remember the service, which, as someone with a background in hospitality, suggests it wasn't exceptional nor poor. Memorable experiences stand out for a reason, and I can't say this place was particularly memorable in that way. However, the food and drinks were definitely solid, and it was my first (and so far only) experience with a robotic back-waiter, which is certainly something to remember! Haha! I would gladly return, and not just once. My friends really love it here. I do feel a bit guilty for not giving five stars, as there was nothing wrong with the place; it definitely deserves at least a solid four. While nothing stood out as exceptional, every aspect of the experience was either quite good or at least acceptable. I do appreciate originality, which may be lacking here, but I also admire places that deliver good quality — and this one delivers on taste, at least; the ambiance and service were fine, nothing special, but nothing bad either. Ultimately, I'm more inclined to frequent a place that satisfies me rather than a trendy concept that isn't well-executed. By that measure, this place easily earns four stars.

This is a fantastic restaurant! The food was excellent, and the service was top-notch. I dined in for dinner and spent about $20–30 per person. Both the food and service earned a perfect rating of 5, and the atmosphere was equally delightful. I highly recommend trying the sushi, as well as the chicken and pork dumplings. For vegetarians, I would somewhat recommend it, as there is a dedicated menu or section for vegetarian options. Additionally, there’s plenty of free parking available.

This restaurant offers an excellent dining experience, especially for dinner. With prices ranging from $10 to $20 per person, it provides great value. The food is exceptional, earning a perfect score, while the service is friendly and efficient, though there’s a slight room for improvement. The atmosphere is incredibly inviting, making it a delightful place to enjoy your meal. Be sure to try the sushi, chicken and pork dumplings, and don't miss out on the "Best Mistake Ever" dish—it’s a must!

I visited this restaurant for the first time and had a terrible experience. They served me raw chicken wings, and when I complained, there was no manager available to address the issue. Instead, the bartender told me to go to the hospital and come back to complain. I was appalled. I’m only giving it one star because Google requires a rating. Food: 1, Service: 1, Atmosphere: 1.

The food is great and the place itself has a great atmosphere. The only complaint I have is how long I waited for water/food to arrive. The service isn’t the best but it’s a great dinner spot overall. They even have a little robot employee, took me by surprise but it’s so cute! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Atmosphere: 5
