In light of Chef Shirley’s diagnosis, we have made the difficult decision to close Ms Chi so she can focus on recovery. Ms Chi’s last day of operation will be Sunday, August 4th. We are incredibly grateful to each and every one of you—our staff, supporters, and fans. We have truly enjoyed spreading the dumpling love over the last several years and calling Culver City our home!
Please come by, say hi, and enjoy our menu before we close. We will still be operating our normal business hours until August 4th! August 14th and 15th will be the final days for orders, so now is the time to stock up. This is a temporary pause on orders, and we will be back!
Please continue to follow this account and for more updates—more dumplings will be coming!
With all our love and gratitude,
Chef Shirley & Jimmy 🥟💖

🍊 While citrus has been used in Chinese cuisine for centuries, particularly in Hunan and Sichuan provinces, Orange Chicken as we know it was popularized in the United States. Traditional Chinese recipes often used dried tangerine peel for a tangy kick, but in the late 20th century that this dish was made with a sweet and tangy orange glaze for the American palate. At Ms Chi Cafe, we honor this history with our own zesty, tangy version. Plus its GLUTEN FREE! Order it for dine-in, takeout, delivery, or make it yourself at home with .
