Description

That's the idea, however, behind the "bistro" part of Chi Dimsum & Bistro, the new restaurant that Lulu Chi has rebuilt, physically and "culinarily," out of the figurative collapse of her eponymous Chi's, West Markham Street and Shackleford Road.
Chi is a restaurateur of long standing with a solid record of success and Asian-fusion credentials that include west Little Rock's Koto (which she has since sold) and Sushi Cafe in the Heights. So we will, at least initially, give her credit for knowing what she's doing.
And we will also give her plenty of props for restoring dim sum to her renovated restaurant, which she reacquired after the Korean family to whom she sold it couldn't make a go of it. (The disappearance of dim sum shortly after the Koreans took over should have been one of the first signs of the apocalypse.)
Dim sum, an array of dumplings and other appetizer-size concoctions served table-side from carts on the weekends and to-order during the week, is one segment of a tripartite bill of fare.
