I've been to Qi a number of times and have never been disappointed. The Sesame Tofu is out of this world good and so it the Qi Rice. My favorite dinner is the Steamed Tofu and Asian Vegetables - it's filling without being heavy. I am by no means a vegetarian, but this is one awesome meatless dish. The Thai Iced Tea is pretty good too!

I placed an order via seamlessweb, one hour later - NOTHING!I live 2 blocks away! I called several times and the woman who answered either put me on hold for 20mins or hung up on me. Finally after 45mins of calling, I was told that my order was scheduled for a Monday delivery - who orders thai 2 days in advance?I double checked my account and I had scheduled delivery for Saturday. In total I spent 2hours with these incompetent people and had no food and an empty stomach at the end. NEVER AGAIN!

When I fist walked by this stylish looking restaurant I was skeptical, thinking that it might be mere style over substance. I have never been more wrong about anything! Our meal at Qi was delicious! And the prices are as great as the ambiance.

The food was the best food we had while in NY and the atmosphere is great! Perfect restuarunt all the way around.

I was looking for a place around union square that had good food and wasn't too expensive for NY. I didn't care about decor and ambiance or service for that matter. Well, what a surprise Qi was all around. The food was terrific. The service was great and the place is lovely. The waiter was very helpful and friendly. His suggestions were right on for us. We were not rushed at all. We had time constraints ourselves and service was prompt. My pet peeve is getting served food that is cold. That was not the case at Qi. The food was freshly made and piping hot. There are a lot of choices for vegetarians and not just the usual stir-fry and noodles or pad thai that tastes like bad chow mein. We had crispy sesame crusted tofu, served with crushed peanuts and sweet chili dipping sauce. Kind of like mozzarella sticks but with a sesame crust that was both beautiful and tasty. Asian chive taro corn dumplings were delicious. I am funny with the gelatinous taro served as dim sum but this wasn't like that at all. The dosa is a crepe made of lentils and rice with a filling of your choice. Ours was vegetarian. It tasted like a French crepe filled with grilled vegetables perfectly cooked. It easily fed 2 people. The Spicy Holy Basil with imitation duck was sautéed fresh basil, chili, garlic, onions, eggplants and bell peppers. I am not sure what duck tastes like anymore but this dish was very well done. The texture of the "duck" was very pleasing. It was a little spicy for my companion but perfect for me, just a little sniffle in my nose. Not so spicy hot that you can't taste the food. I like to try several dishes at a meal. There is enough in each portion for ample tasting by 2 people and the prices are so reasonable that sharing is almost obligatory. All and all I think this is a great restaurant. Definitely a go to place again and again.

We came into Qi after passing by. There was no one in the restaurant but the reviews from the phone looked promising. This place was great. Awesome food, great service and cheap! We each got apps and a main and shared a dessert for $21. Great atmosphere. Will return.

With most menu items around $10, this is a commonsense cure for the common Asian cuisine. Inspired by a two-page list of medicinally healthy sounding ingredients, the menu attempts to reinvent the wheel on a range of pan-Asian dishes -- but if you are feeling tried of the same-old Asian fare, maybe having some cone-shaped towers of rice, loud music and artsy chimes/decor, and health-loaded "Qi" grain blends may be just what the doctor ordered.
