Chi Yatai was established in December of 2019 as a dream fulfilled primarily to serve the Chicago area through food, dessert, and bubble tea. Before we opened, we spent a long time creating all authentic recipes for our food, as well as unique and all original bubble tea offerings.

To explain our restaurant name, "Chi" means Christ in Greek [pronounced kai]; "Chi" is also short for Chicago and Chinatown. A "Yatai" is a street food stand in Japan. Our mascot is Tak the Baby Octopus Chef, designed by John and Mier, to highlight our made-from-scratch Takoyaki and infuse a fun, playful cuteness into the Chi Yatai customer experience.

In closing, John and Mier, with the help of a close friend's recipes from the streets of Osaka, Japan, desire to run the restaurant to honor the Lord and bless every customer with kindness, warmth, hospitality, and love. We are humbled and grateful that you would choose Chi Yatai in Chinatown's Richland Food Court, and we hope to see you soon!

Chi Yatai成立于2019年12月，它是一个梦想的实现，我们的目的主要是通过美食、甜点和奶茶为芝加哥地区服务。在开业之前，我们花了非常多的时间研制地道的食物配方，以及独创 的奶茶饮品。

很多人好奇我们餐厅名字的由来，“ Chi”在希腊语中意为基督[发音为kai]； “ Chi”也是芝加哥(Chicago)和唐人街(Chinatown)的缩写。 “ Yatai”是日语中日本街头的小吃摊。我们的吉祥物是由约翰和觅尔设计的Tak章鱼厨师宝宝，以彰显我们从头到尾手工制作的章鱼烧，并为Chi Yatai的客户体验注入有趣、俏皮的可爱感。

最后，约翰和觅尔，在来自日本大阪街头的密友所提供的食谱的帮助下，渴望通过这家餐厅来荣耀上帝，并愿以友善，温暖，好客和爱来祝福每一位顾客。您选择唐人街置富美食广场的Chi Yatai使我们感激并受宠若惊，我们希望很快能见到您！
