Needs a solid remodeling, looks exactly the same from 15 years ago, outdated, old, weird vibe, definitely lost its touch. The couches alone have been there for years. Come on guys what are we doing here

I can't begin to explain how great this place is. If I could give it 6 stars I would. I've been coming here for about 10 years now. The owner is a super kind man and the employees always take care of you in a fast and friendly manner. If you're looking for a more laid-back approach to a hookah lounge, this is your spot to be. 10/10 flavors 10/10 service 10/10 environment.

Went there for some hookah, and to get some reading done. The guy working at the time was very friendly very quick with the service and made the hour and a half I was there pretty enjoyable. Definitely going back again, it’s a nice little spot to just hang and have a relaxing puff of hookah!

Went to Shi Chai while visiting Milwaukee. As a hookah enthusiast, I think this place was great. I had a bowl of double apple, it lasted a very long time, and maintained the flavor the whole way through. I also tried the chicken tawook sandwich - that was equally great.

I've been a repeat customer for over 5 years. Shi Chai is objectively the best hookah spot in the greater Milwaukee area. Food, hookah, vibe, and service are 5 stars. Sam is a great host. He's always accommodating and attentive. My friends and I love the atmosphere and we'll be coming back for the foreseeable future.

My Fiance and I went here on a Saturday night. Staff great, atmosphere just as awesome, all around was probably the best experience in a hookah bar. Recommend to anyone looking for a genuinely good time. Just seems like every other hookah place in the area doesn't have the uniquenes this place has. (Music, Flavors, Menu, etc.)

Best Hookah in Milwaukee. Tried a couple of other places which didn’t impress me a lot. Other than hookah, shawarma, and falafel are the best sides you can get. Also, you can buy the best flavors out there for incredible prices.
Owner Sam is friendly, and polite and knows flavors and mixes.

Great afternoon here before the bucks game. Friendly service, great selection of hookah flavors, and the smoothies are tasty! I loved the music playing in the background as well. The prices were fair and you also get to mix and 3 match flavors within that same price. You can literally have your hookah any way you want it here. I’ll definitely be back because I loved this place and appreciated the prompt and friendly service along with the flavor and fresh hose!

Very Un assuming place from the outside. Priced well and staff is very hospitable. Hookah is packed well and the flavors were spot on. We went after a bucks game and was really busy and despite that our table of 6 got food under 15 minutes and hookah 5 minutes after that. The guy was on top of coal service and checked in several times.
We ordered the chicken shawarma and the mixed grill platter. Everything was great but the streak pieces were absolute perfection.
I heard this place was under new management since I last visited so I was slightly sceptical but blown away by food and service. Def recommend.

1st and foremost, best underrated Hookah Lounge in town.
Great atmosphere to relax and talk in. Huge variety of flavors to choose from when it comes to Hookah. But what stands out the most is the Customer Service. The Owner walks around asking everyone if they are doing ok constantly throughout the day/night and will even sit and talk it up with you. Which is Amazing and creates a very friendly enviroment to be in.
