There has been much hype about this restaurant. My foodie colleague mentioned it, Time out Hong kong rate it 4 out of 5, so I figure give it a try. The deco reflects east meet west philosophy. The entrance is very attractive with Chinese Opera character, complemented with beautiful flower arrangement. The rest of the restaurant reminds me of a typical new york chic eatery: dark, mysterious and sexy. 20-30 something expats and local swanky boys and girls filled the place with glamor and energy.

Upbeat background music put you in the groovy mood. We seem to have a good start.
The rest of the night was less than desired. Spotty service, missing orders, broken English speaking staffs...........
I would rate the food 2 out of 5, It tastes good so does the chinese take out next door. The menu carries the classic sichuan dishes however with little imagination. We ordered 2 appetizers and 2 entrees, didn't feel any sense of gratification at the end of the meal. Even for two very diet conscious ladies, the portion could be a bit more generous.
Overall, if you want to try a new, hip restaurant and be part of the "to see and to be seen " scene, Qi might be the place. For foodies, better off return to Da Ping Ho or Chili Fagara where all of your senses will be awake!!!!
