Chi Street food in Cambridge

Found this gem in an empty shopping centre in Cambridge next to the Vue Cinema. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The Korean Fried Chicken was lovely and cooked well. The different variety of buns were all soft and flavourful. A great Asian restaurant!

Ordered food via Ubereats. 3 drivers turned up and left. Called the restaurant, they said they didn't have any food. However, they were continuing to accept orders and take money. I couldn't cancel my order without being charged and they couldn't (wouldn't) do it from their end. We never got our food, we're still trying to get a refund and I can't review in Ubereats as it's an incomplete order.

Delicious fried chicken banh mi and chicken katsu curry! Although I wouldn't class it as an authentic banh mi, it still tasted really good; just wish there was carrots, coriander, pickled radish etc. Other than that, service was good and would order it again!

Harry cooper was an amazing server and was super nice to my peers and I

Great service and the food was delicious.

Affordable food with friendly staff! This has become a lovely hotspot for my friends. If you do go, I recommend their katsu curry! :]

Really lovely staff. Gemma and Josh. They were helpful. They served the cake we brought and sang / played happy birthday for us. Brilliant

Visited Chi around lunch time; food was great and the manager Josh was very friendly. Also, good value for money and reasonable portion sizes. Recommend if you're near and looking for a bite to eat!

Food was amazing! Staff were very friendly and treated us well, very good atmosphere and a perfect place to quench your hunger after a long day of shopping !

Really great meal at Chi for the family today. Worked out really reasonable for price and Josh was a proper star and really looked after us despite us having to do loads of twiddling with our order. Would recommend.

Very nice staff, food is delicious, Josh is cool, definitely recommended :)

Food was good, made quickly, and meal deal is great value. A great lunch option to have nearby!

Use to visit here weekly as a treat after a weeks work, food was amazing absolutely loved it. Visited today to find half the menu wasn’t available, they only had 1 can of original coke left.. all food was served in takeaway pots with wooden cutlery “not what you expect when sitting at a table”. The standard of food has dropped massively. Staff seem untrained and as if they don’t have passion for their jobs. Sadly won’t be returning and it’s such a shame as used to love this place.

Great place, great, choice, great food! Customer service was brilliant- especially from Josh. Will come back again soon!

Would 10/10 recommend! Wonderful service from Josh and Gemma, food was amazing and well worth the price. 100% will be returning!

THIS WAS SO TASTY the bao buns were the best I've ever eaten

Josh was very friendly and patient and the food was nice

This was authentic, delicious food available quickly & easily within a no-rush-to-leave environment! Josh was super-helpful & kind - thank you :)

Josh was great. Took the time to go through allergies and the food was amazing

Shanon and Gemma did a great job 👏

I eat lunch here very often with friends between classes and its great comfort food for us to relax after a lot of studying. The atmosphere is really nice and quiet, and the food is very tasty and cheap.

Amazing street food and very well priced. Food for the whole family and my 6 year old daughter enjoyed it also.

Josh was absolutely brilliant with the kids, lovely food and great portions size

We are so thankful of Shanon and Ishika were amazing! Their attention was great and efficient. We enjoyed the food a lot!

Shanon and Ishika were fantastic!!

Shanon and ishika were fantastic- thank you

Very good food, the price was impressive (20 pound for two full meals), the hostesses Shanon and Ishika were always friendly and made us feel at ease. My favourite place to eat for a casual meal with friends.

Josh was amazing best service ever!!!The food was amazing and I am 100 percent coming back.

The food was really good, great quality and full of flavour. Very helpful staff

Great food, josh was very helpful and friendly. Will be back!

Great place, great service, Josh was brilliant.

I won’t stop talking about chi food Cambridge , if you want to have an awesome lunch or dinner, just visit. Shanon was incredibly nice and friendly🥰🥰

My sisters brought me to have lunch and oh my God! The best fries I’ve had in UK. I had a portion of Vietnamese Dirty fries and a Korean fried Chicken burger. Simply amazing. Chi Cambridge thank you! This is an experience for me. Shanon is incredible. Everything is amazing.

I really enjoyed my lunch. Shanon was very friendly and nice. Thank you so much. Will come back again

Josh was awesome and very hospitable

Josh was such a great host! Very welcoming atmosphere! Especially after a hard gym session. :)))

We love this place. Tasty food, great fast service. Perfect for a pre-cinema meal! We had the bao meal deal, which includes dirty fries and a drink.

Josh was an absolute delight. Really helpful in helping me to choose something from the menu.

Good vegetarian options. Food was served in take away boxes. Service was quick.

Josh serving us was extremely friendly and kind! Amazing service throughout.. highly recommend

Great food - as always - and great service from Josh. Give the banh mi a try!

Amazing food lovely staff at a great price, definitely recommend

Really impressed with the service and the food! It was my first time dining here and Josh was super patient and helpful with us making our choices. Excellent food and service, will be back.....

I’m vegan and they are helpful in getting my foods! Josh was helpful :)

Josh was very attentive, went out of his way to serve us efficiently and brought us extra sauce when requested. Seems like a very nice guy and also great food from the kitchen but didn’t catch her name. New management doing a good job.

Had lunch today, and was very satisfied. Loved the Char Siu bao especially, and the staff were very friendly, and everything was served in a timely fashion. Can't wait to eat here again!

I visited here on Saturday evening I ordered lots of different things as I wasn't sure what to order. I loved it all. Great value for money too. Staff were pleasant. I'd definitely return.

Swung by after the gym and it was exactly what was needed. Lynette and Shanon were really friendly, food came out fast and tasted great.

Greeted and seated very promptly by our friendly server G. There were not many people in the restaurant but the atmosphere was really nice still. The manager Josh also checked on us to make sure we enjoying our visit and was very friendly. Food was delicious especially for the price and we served our drinks and food quickly. All in all a very pleasant experience and extremely good value for a quick drop in

Josh was the life of the party, top man. Food was great as always. Great for students :-)

Very underwhelming and disappointing visit this evening. Firstly, I have been coming to chi since it's initial opening when the menu consisted of just banh-mi, bao buns and the big bowls (and the amazing sweet bao's with popcorn) and the more they have added (and in some cases removed) the worse the experience has been. It's because I expect so much more I have been prompted to leave this review. The last two orders (delivered) were not too great but I put that down to the fact you can't expect restaurant quality after the transport and it did okay for a quick work lunch. Quick service when we arrived so no complaints there. Ordered two sour cherry drinks... Not in stock Went to order fried savoury bao... None in stock so ordered the Korean chicken bowl which was apparently large but certainly didn't seem that way. The chicken was dry inside and out and tasted reheated and previously frozen and probably equated to a small KFC popcorn chicken in size. The rice was mushy and even if sauce was present on the chicken, it wouldn't have absorbed much of it. The children ordered chicken wings and the Thai green curry fried rice. The chicken wings were decent and my son enjoyed them but the "fried" rice was barely touched... A smidgen of sauce over the same soggy rice with chicken that was so grey and questionable that my daughter said her rice had fish in. I tried some and didn't again. Thankfully she picked the remaining chicken wings of their meat so at least some sustenance there. Neither the curry on rice nor Korean chicken had the advertised crispy chili and onion's on - in fact, the crispy chicken had just a single slice of chilli and were neither sweet nor spicy. Next stop was desert which was one of the reasons we picked Chi tonight over over nearby places but when ordering... No bubble waffles so had to settle for cookie dough which was received well. Thankfully I ordered a side of noodles that despite being a tad wet and greasy, was the best thing I ate all evening. Sadly, a 15% voucher found on the way to the restaurant did little to remedy the pain of handing over £45 to feed myself and two small children. Have very much been an advocate of the place for years but I would find it very hard to recommend the place moving forward and very unlikely to return.

Superb food quality. Amazing flavours. I like its location, ideal for a peaceful meal. Korean food done nicely. Thanks Lynette

Super affordable! 5 of us for under £40 (just), can't argue with that!

Really nice food, and incredibly nice people, the person on the register was very friendly and even the person on cooking the food came to say hi. Been here a few times before and the dirty fries and service keep bringing me back! 🤤

The food was fantastic and really good value. Josh provided great customer service and was really helpful, explaining what the various dishes were. Will definitely be returning. Many thanks :)

Very good food and atmosphere :)

Amazing service, great food and really good value for money!

Service was great - especially Josh And food was great :)

Best bao buns around. Lovely staff, recommend the chicken wings but all in all a good experience

A very enjoyable experience, food was excellent and Josh who served us very helpful & friendly would visit again.

Fabulous service from Josh and Amiee. Thank you for the delicious Bao buns and drinks 🎉

Amazing! Really good service from Josh

Great food, the girl who served us Amy was lovely.

Josh- was very welcoming and helpful. Great customer service

Very nice food, made very quickly and tasted great. Very good prices and lovely customer service

Josh - really good customer service and very friendly

Walked up, asked if they were open, she said “yes” then just ignored me and kept putting away items. No advice offered on if there was some alternative way to order or anything. I walked away.

I felt very sorry for the two people working there, however a 2+ hour wait for food is ridiculous, and I even had to physically ask for them to being the drink they said theyd bring over when i can ordered half an hour earlier.

Food was good but every table was dirty. I understand they had deliveries aswell as in person cunstomers but they were quite quiet and in the hour we were there the tables were not sprayed or wiped at all and they only had 5 customers in that time. Fries were very nice though

I wish I could give these guys a 10 star review! The service absolutely exceeded all expectations after a previously negative experience at the Huntington branch. I would like to give a special thanks to Josh and Amy who were working today the food was absolutely amazing!!!!! I would highly highly recommend people coming such a friendly environment and amazing food

Had an amazing dinner here along with absolutely amazing service! Very friendly man serving us. Will be coming back all the time every date night.

Went for my girlfriend’s birthday middle of December . Really disappointed compared to our first visit . Most items not available. Food didn’t taste cooked and no staff even there whilst we ate that we could speak to about our issues . Won’t be returning in future . So disappointed as our first visit was brilliant.

This place used to be not that great but now under new management it is absolutely excellent!

Really tasty food and staff Really friendly

Excellent food and great service

Went out for brunch looking for somewhere quick to eat, got a great service from Josh and the food was delivered quickly not to mention the taste was amazing! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting some decent food for a good price.

First time coming here after it being highly recommended, lovely food and lovely staff.

We visited today and we were not disappointed, the service was great, the food delicious and the server engaged with my children, it was fab and we will he returning!

Amazing service at Chi Cambridge, scrummy food and quick wait times too. Thank you!

Amazing food and service. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended Asian street food.

Delicious food, friendly staff and good service!

Been here twice and both times our server has been lovely, friendly and attentive. Even offered us suggestions for what to have for a lovely light lunch. Bao buns are amazing, the char siu pork ramen was beautiful, and the gyozas are my favourite.

Great staff, very friendly, hospitable and welcoming! :)

Very good food and good value, friendly staff and quick service.

Really disappointed. Entire order arrived stale and cold, tasteless and cheap. Ordered a burger which said deep fried Korean chicken.. instead chicken tender strips in bread with some lettuce, a squeeze of sauce, burnt cheese that you cannot taste at all and a scatter of chips for over £10! Unbelievable that they can sell this. Thank god Uber eats have refunded the entire amount

Josh was great. Efficient and food was fab too!

Great food. Really great team. Will be back

Chi is as always 5 star service and food. Ive been obsessed for years and now theres a new extensive menu im even more excited. Josh at the Cambridge branch was amazing today. Helped us with our choices and the service was fast! Thank you

Amazing service from Josh! So polite and helpful. Thankyou for giving us an amazing experience.

Me and my friend went on the 1st of December and we were told there would be a 15/20 min wait and it was actually 45 min wait. It looked like the chefs were cooking on meal at a time instead of doing orders together and everyone was waiting for ages. The wait staff looked so stressed and the kitchen asked them to stop taking orders. The food was tasty apart from the rice! The rice was old and crispy and surprisingly cold after waiting 45 mins. There were a lot of staff members and it was just disconnected. The wait staff were nice. It’s an open plan kitchen space so we could see everything and it was Bizzare how long things were taking

A lovely warm and inviting place, great service and lovely staff. 🙂

The cauliflower bao were delicious!

The manager went above and beyond and the food was delicious!

Great service and especially great that it’s all halal!
