1. Matthew Aleandri ★★★☆☆

   I went here one Saturday eve for dinner with a friend...we were planning on going to our usual Asian restaurant, but it was busy so we decided to go to Chi Ni for the first time and give it a go. Anyway, my overall experience was that it was okay. The food was fine, not out of this world, but not rubbish either. For a starter I had the Malysian Laksa chicken and prawn soup. It had some coconut in there, and there were plenty of prawns and pieces of chicken but it was too salty for my liking, too fishy or too much fish sauce possibly. I was rather thirsty afterwards. As for my main I went for the Mee Goreng which is a noodle based dish again with prawns and chicken. It was nice enough with plenty of prawns and chicken, but too small a dish to be a main course. For me a noodle dish as a main has to have a bit more to fill you up. Also, considering I chose two Malaysian styled dishes they didn't feel that Malaysian at all, so I was a bit disappointed as I know decent Malaysian food when I see it. Finally, the menú is way too big and there are too many styles of cuisine on it, in my opinion they're trying to do too much to appeal to a wider audience. So, it's worth a visit if you're stuck for where to go, and it's not too bad price wise either. But I wouldn't necessarily go there again as there are better asian places in the area.

   After quite long had an amazing indo-chinese food so close to Indian taste. For appetizers, we ordered chicken manchow and hot and sour soup both were hot and delicious. For starters, we had chicken lollipop with schewan sauce and chili chicken. For main course, we ordered chopper rice, it was fulfilling. The quantity was good. The staff was friendly. The food was worth the price. I will recommend their chili chicken, manchow soup and chopper rice. They also serve Mughlai and Thai cuisines. We are looking forward to try owner recommended dum briyani on our next visit. Would recommend all to try!

   As soon as we found out that Chi Ni is opening second branch in Sutton, we decided to give it a try. After all, Indo-Chinese dishes are mine personal favourite. The place is slightly smaller than Tooting branch, it's better to book a table. The menu is slightly different. We ordered okra and volcano chicken with egg fried rice. Excellent taste. Their cheff knows what he is doing. Definitely will return for more.
