I happened to be downtown and finally had a chance to check out Casa Chi, which had been on my list for a while—mainly because of their Sunday boozy tea brunch. I didn’t get to try the brunch this time, but I will be back for that experience.

What I did get to enjoy was the happy hour, and it was a fantastic introduction to the place. I started with a hibiscus margarita, which was to die for—bright, floral, and perfectly balanced. My companion and I shared the omakase for two, and everything we tasted was fresh, light, and flavorful.

The hamachi nigiri was my favorite—so clean and refreshing that I keep coming back to that word. The tuna nigiri had a bold flavor I couldn’t quite place. I thought it tasted like truffle oil, but when I asked, there was none—so now I’m just intrigued by what gave it that depth. The smoked swordfish was also a standout. It reminded me a little of tuna salad in the best way—comforting, familiar, but elevated.

Also, huge shoutout to Elena, our server—she was super sweet and attentive the entire time.

All in all, Casa Chi left a great first impression. The happy hour omakase was a perfect intro, and I’m already looking forward to going back for the boozy brunch.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. We came here for my 18th birthday dinner since I wanted a relaxing but artistic restaurant with either Mexican or Asian cuisine, and Casa Chi was the PERFECT place. The guacamole was phenomenal, the Yuzu desert was light and delicious, the hot plates were wonderful, but above all the chef and waitress were able to make me a lychee tea in a beautiful teapot that was to die for. Our waitress, Elaina, was absolutely wonderful and so sweet. If I’m in Chicago again, I will be coming back in a heartbeat.

Came for happy hour and absolutely loved their watermelon margarita. The service was great and the ambiance was cozy and inviting which makes it nice for a date night or a girls’ night out.
Im definitely coming back to try their Sunday tea brunch!

A great fusion restaurant! The service and food are great as well. You should love it if you enjoy Peru, Japanese, and Mexican food. Enjoyed the sushi, tacos, and stone tenderloin.

Wow! What an awesome experience and our waiter was great! Loved the atmosphere and we went during “happy hour” (4-7PM weekdays I believe) and got 3-4 things on their happy hour menu and split them along with drinks at a decent price ($12). Was a great evening out!

Aaron was extremely helpful and attentive. His suggestions helped me to have a wonderful, first-time experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the margarita mercadito. Additionally, the California roll was the best I ever had with the spin of adding lobster! Everything was fresh and served with a smile. I also HIGHLY recommend the yuzu dessert. You’ll never look back!!!

This is my absolute favorite spot in town! If you haven’t visited yet please treat yourself. The drinks are not only so yummy but also worth the price with the fire and bubbles and other cool features. Not to mention the food is fire!!! This is the kind of restaurant little girls dream of going to with their girl friends and having cocktails and sushi.

Honorable mention to our waitress, Adiam! She was so kind and made sure we never needed for anything. She helped to guide us through the menu, which was helpful with some family members we had in town who weren’t as familiar with sushi.

Can’t wait to come back for the Boozy Tea on Sunday! Seems like a great deal for even more foood!
