Ms Chi Cafe

At Ms Chi Cafe, we showcase Chef Shirley Chung's passion for progressive Chinese American cuisine. In addition to her unique culinary creations inspired by traditional authentic northern-style dumplings, noodle bowls, fried rice, specialty Boba and milk teas, and coffee drinks; Chef Shirley's personality shines in her house-made Top Chef winning dish - Jumbo Cheeseburger Potstickers with a tomato bacon jam.

Ms Chi Cafe might be a casual Chinese American restaurant, but the quality of the food is on par with any fine dining establishment. We only utilize the highest quality local fresh produce and spices, and everything is house made including our breads, dumpling wrappers, noodles, sauces, and more. Whether you're looking for a fast casual dining experience for breakfast and lunch, or a more traditional table-service for dinner, we look forward to serving you and welcoming you to our family.

The Team

Chef Shirley Chung, a native of Beijing, is a proud Chinese-American who brings a playfulness and refinement of flavors to her culinary creations. After immigrating to America at age 17 for college, she worked in Silicon Valley before following her passion for food. She attended the California Culinary Academy San Francisco and was trained in classic French, Italian, Latin, and Chinese cuisines while working with renowned chefs such as Thomas Keller at Bouchon, Guy Savoy, Mario Batali at Carnevino, and Jose Andres at China Poblano. In 2013, Shirley was a chef contestant on Bravo's Top Chef Series Season 11 New Orleans where she finished in the Top 3 and was invited to compete again in 2016 on Top Chef Season 14 Charleston where she was awarded as the runner-up.

Jimmy Lee, a native of southern California, met Chef Shirley while they both worked in technology in Silicon Valley. After many years working in tech, he has joined forces with his wife to create Ms Chi Cafe, celebrating their heritage, liveliness, and love together. At Ms Chi Cafe, Jimmy oversees the front of the house but is really a Jack-of-all-trades, leading everything that goes on behind the scenes.
