New modern minimalistic decor. Host / owner very warm n welcoming. We ate at their old locations a few times. Food were excellent except for the new beef noodle which can use more seasoning. The butter chicken wings is a must.

Have waited a year for Hai Chi Em to re-open at its new location and the anticipation has been worth it. All the flavourful, well-presented dishes that they've been known for served cheerfully in a stylish and comfortable dining room.

Refined flavours, clean, clear broth and attention to detail. The papaya and pork salad was outstanding.

We will give this new restaurant a few months to get organized and then we will come back. They are so new so hopefully they get better as time goes.

Came here on the day 2 of their launch. The food was tasty and the staff was friendly. The beef salad and garlic chicken wings were standouts Damon this visit. The kitchen flow and front of the house logistics are still being worked out given the grand opening. They should get into their groove in a few weeks. Free street parking out front on Kingsway.

Attended the soft opening. It was a little hectic, as to be expected, but overall well executed for a soft opening. The Crispy Lemongrass Salt & Pepper Wings, Deep Fried Squid in Fish Sauce, and Beef Salad were a hit; the Salad Rolls not so much - very average. They need to be upgraded a bit to match the level of the other dishes. Overall, a positive first experience. We will be back to try the other dishes on the menu.

To my taste, everything had too much garlic. The dishes didn't look or taste modern either.

Food was great. Service was spotty and guests were seated too close together in a corner of the restaurant; was only 5.15 and mostly empty.

we made resos (thankfully) for two at 5:15 pm on sunday and there was only one table occupied at the time. as we checked out the menu, ordered and ate, the server turned away multiple walk ins as they were fully booked for the evening. two separate parties of walk ins even promised they would eat fast. the servers were genuinely friendly, and efficient. the cushioned seating was firm and comfortable, as long as you're not seated directly in front of the door. the menu looked interesting with different dishes and ingredients. their pho was solid with rare beef, brisket, beef balls, bean sprouts, lime and thai basil. the real stand outs were their crispy garlic butter wings, so addictive with the crispy garlic toppings and their pomelo shrimp and pork salad. the textures and crunch of the toasted peanuts with the deep fried cracker complimented well with the lime, fish sauce, and sugar vinaigrette, the salad was flavourful and refreshing. i would definitely want to come back with a bigger group to try more of their menu. the place filled up quickly. to avoid disappointment, best to make resos on open table. street parking is available and they accept credit cards.
