Chi-em is Vietnamese fused with the freshest offerings possible in Emporia. Don’t be fooled by it’s unassuming obscurity on 6th. It’s a very clean store with recipes developed and adapted from Vietnamese roots. It’s really good and they take some risks in trying to do some unique specials. I eat here a lot. Tofu is fantastic. Vegan options. I like the pork. Meat pies made from scratch. Owner employs locals and supports her staff. More than likely, you’ll find her there, working. They also serve a selection of Asian beer and hard kombucha. The milk tea… Yeah, I like it a lot. They take their time to try to make things right. I’m a fan.

I’ve seen a lot of good food here, but I’ve only eaten the chicken skewers and potstickers because they’re SO good… Quick and friendly service followed by good food is why you don’t cook at home! If you’re an adventurous eater, this is a definite stop.

Delicious Vietnamese cuisine in an airy space with great service. I got the Bún with Tofu and it was amazing! Highly recommend. Also, Vietnamese iced coffee was perfect and not overly sweet.

This place has phenomenal food and is filling in an important hole in the community. Though somewhat slow, very much worth the wait. Pictured is the Banh Mi sandwich, spring rolls, and Com rice dish.

Honestly give this place a try, it’s a gem! The place is adorable, the food was delish and everyone was super sweet. I had the chicken spring rolls with peanut sauce and Thai tea. They had some wonderful sounding Vietnamese coffees on the menu that I was really tempted to try, but I can’t help myself when I see Thai tea on a menu. I should honestly start ordering Thai tea and a second drink that is new to me. Everything was delicious. The chicken in my spring roll was magical and I could eat that peanut sauce everyday for the rest of my life.

Great food and great atmosphere. The prices are pretty good and the proportions are not to bad. I had the pork belly spring rolls the first time and the pork belly sandwich the second. Both dishes were great. The servers were friendly and helpful navigating the menu. I will get eating here again.
