I lived in China for several years and Peking duck was often my staple food. I can safely say China Chili's Peking duck is right up there. I also love their fish in black bean sauce and honey walnut prawns. I'm giving it four stars because when I ordered beef and broccoli the broccoli was way overcooked, same with the Hong Kong noodles. But overall it's a great restaurant. I get food from them every week or so. read more

First time visiting China Chili. The cuisine is pretty good, Ordered the Dragon dinner for two, Dinner included: 1. Small salad with iceberg lettuce 3/5 2. Egg drop soup 4/5 3. Snow pea and chicken 3/5 4. Combo fried rice 3/5 5. Prawns with walnuts 3/5 The service is what makes this a solid four star dining experience. Yes, Panda sells quick fast food. This isn't Panda, this is another type of Chinese food, the sit down and enjoy variety. Foodies will not be disappointed here at China Chili. Solid four stars. Will return soon. Jordan read more

I have been coming to China Chili for many years. The food quality has gone downhill considerably. It is very inconsistent. I ordered Chicken Egg Foo Yung and Potstickers. The Egg Foo Yung was a puck of mashed up vegetables (I think??) with a lot of breading, a tasteless thin brown sauce and tasteless chicken tossed on top. Not appetizing at all! The potstickers were weird with a thick skin that was browned on one side only. The filling was like chunky babyfood consistency, and again no flavor. The kicker is this - it cost $26!! At least for the money it could have tasted good. I won't be back any time soon. Too many costly disappointments read more

China Chili(CC) is mechanical in the way they take care of their customers! From the time you walk in and are greeted through the time you pay for your meal. As a group they make sure you are well attended. I am not sure how many folks are working the kitchen, but the efficiency that they turn your meal around and serve you a fresh piping hot meal is very impressive! I would recommend CC to anyone who asks for good Chinese food in the area. I normally bring Mom here for lunch and she's a fan of China Chili! The lunch specials always come with a soup and an egg roll. Mom always enjoys the different soups that are brought to here when we dine here. We both have always savored our meals at CC! We have not encountered anything close to raising any flags of suspect. The patrons around us always seem to be enjoying themselves too. China Chili's lobby is massive and can accommodate large groups. read more

Food and prices. If you are going to charge the big prices you need to change the quality and protein size. It's almost to the level of a vegetarian dish. SMH read more

Last week I passed by this place and the sign caught my eye, I wrote it down in my notes and decided to go next time I was in the area. I went tonight for dinner after running some errands downtown with a friend and I loved it. Its a very large restaurant but it was full if people, the atmosphere was really doing something for me, it felt cute and cozy. We were sat promptly and given menus, which had a ton of options. We ordered half a duck, lemon chicken, and the Sichuan string beans. The service was quick and everything came out at the same time in about ten minutes! The lemon chicken was crispy and the sauce was nice and citrusy without being too sweet. The string beans were nice and crisp with slivers of pork and a nice coating of savory sauce. Lastly the duck! It was a great price for the amount we got! The skin was crispy and the meat was juicy and tender. It had good flavor too, with a nice amount of what tasted like five spice. I was really happy with my dining experience here! I plan on bringing my family to check it out sometime soon. read more

We drove to China Chili from Scottsdale for our Sunday Easter dinner, and it did not disappoint! One of the oldest, if not now the oldest Chinese restaurant in Arizona, it is like you stepped into a movie, with the decor and authentic ambiance. The tables are big and round and they rotate - this place is the real deal "family style" restaurant. The food was excellent - fresh with large cuts, no skimping. We got cashew chicken, mongolian beef, sweet & sour pork, moo shu beef, fried rice, and... peking duck! It was Easter and our family was together so we splurged. The peking duck came with pancakes that the server wrapped at the table. My only complaint would be that the pancakes were ice cold, I would have preferred them steaming hot. The duck was absolutely delectable & succulent and the sauce that came with it was on point. I would order the duck again on another special occasion but maybe switch the pancakes or request them served piping hot. The sweet & sour pork was another highlight! It was done the authentic way (our favourite takeout place does them as the large corndough balls) and I would definitely order it again. Absolutely delicious. As was the mongolian beef and cashew chicken. The onions and celery etc were perfectly sliced and perfectly crisp and fresh. My gluten-free diet restricted mother-in-law really liked her moo shu beef, and our toddler dug into his fried rice and sampled a bit of everything. We got a couple Tsingtao beers and sodas and our huge family feast cost about $200. Very reasonable! The service was excellent and friendly and I can't stress enough how family-oriented the whole experience is. It had been over a decade since I went to China Chili for a business lunch. After our Easter feast, we have decided it is now our family's new go-to sit-down Chinese restaurant. Well worth the 1/2 hour drive! Xiexie read more

The food is good, the service is fast and friendly and the ambiance is nice. I'd come for lunch and dine in as the prices are much better and food of course is better when eaten in the restaurant. I'll be coming back. read more

Unfortunately the food here was not good. The reviews were definitely misleading. We got the Curried Chicken and the chicken rice noodles and both dishes had no flavor, which was very surprising. However, the service was quick and ambiance was cool inside. I really would not recommend this place. read more

We go here often and it is honestly the best Chinese food I've ever had. It's always clean and fresh. The service is really fast and efficient. I can't say enough about the food though. The house special chicken is delicious and it's all white meat chicken and you can tell it's not frozen it's fresh. The boiled wontons as an appetizer is a soup but so flavorful. Every time we go it's amazing and we are never disappointed. And less than 50 for two people is very affordable and there's always food leftover for the next day. read more

For Arizona, this was decent Chinese food and I would definitely recommend. I am from the Bay Area so my expectations are a bit higher but relative to the area, it was better than I expected.

Kung pao beef - well cooked and loved the veggies Egg fried rice - not overly oily or fried! Light! All of it was absolutely delicious and I will definitely be returning and recommending to everyone read more

China Chili - Kung Pao Beef, Vegetable Fried Rice, Orange Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Excellent food even better service.... I have had both in the restaurant and take home. Both were very good.

Meh. The foods become so bland over the years. I always get beef chop suey and fried rice. But the fried rice just tastes like fried cheap soy sauce. Lol. And the chop suey could be cooked longer. So I tend to finish cooking it at home first. They're a clean restaurant and portions are okay. But I only go here if I'm out of options of what to eat. They're also pricey. But it's still better than most Chinese food around here. read more

Really great tasting chinese food. I like to come here after an event in downtown Phx. Food is really good and the service is excellent

This is an old school Chinese-American restaurant, with a great take on everything I grew up with. Yes, the Valley has some absolutely amazing, authentic, regional Chinese cooking in the south east valley: Shaanxi Garden, Old Town Taste, Heng's, but sometimes you don't want vervy, buzzing Szechuan pepper on the tongue, and not everyone appreciates fabulous Pig's Ear in Chili Oil or Chili Tripe. Sometimes you just want the more mundane, comfortable stuff you grew up with...the frankly more mainstream Americanized versions of Cantonese Classics. But, you want them cooked perfectly. China Chili brings you the dive bar feel of an old institution, and damn good versions of the classics. We went with the classics, and had egg rolls...solid but not exciting, a darn good Westlake Beef Soup, Orange Chicken and Sweet and Sour Prawns, that were also better than dishes I remembered from my youth, and a really good house fried rice with generous BBQ Pork slices. But the dish that blew me away was the Scrambled Eggs with Shrimp. Tender plump shrimp, in perfectly fluffy, moist scrambled eggs, with hints of onion and sweet wine, it was one of my favorite dishes so far this year. I'd go back for that alone. The food portions are very generous, and they have inexpensive beer and sake, and an ice cold Tsing Tao always puts a smile on my face. The dishes arrived immediately from the kitchen with an army of attentive servers, so we never felt ignored...or pestered. And, if you described what you like their suggestions were helpful...I don't understand people who say the service was inattentive....they must not be inquisitive. If I asked, they answered even if they had to struggle with language. Definitely the kind of place I'd take the parents to and feel like there were plenty of safe choices for them and damn good food for me with a few surprises. read more

As I no longer have a car, I am unable to go over to visit this delightfully decorated place that reminds you of a Chinese restaurant. Before 2018 I was there at least once a month. The food was great. My daughter and I or a friend of mine and I would go there. No matter what we ordered. It was always good. The waitresses are back-and-forth caring for each and everyone. They are open during lunch, which is a great time to go. I do recommend this place very highly. read more

Came for late lunch after seeing New Hong Kong (which was rated top Chinese by Eater Phoenix) but had almost no one inside on Saturday lunchtime. Waitress #1 seated us and gave us the "luncheon special menu"...aka the Americanized Chinese menu. Err, slightly offended but maybe we didn't look Chinese enough with facial masks on. The other Chinese families at the big round tables definitely did not order from the luncheon menu. I asked another waitress in Mandarin if they had a separate menu, which she brought over. It had the full menu with Chinese names, and she also mentioned some daily specials they had. Folks, if you've only been eating from the luncheon menu, you've been missing out on the real deal! Order: Special pork dish of day (3/5)- misunderstood what it was, it was crispy pork not braised pork. Salt crust bit too crunchy, lacked melt in mouth taste. String beans with bean curd (4/5) - Chinese translation is off, reads as tofu, not bean curd. Oyster sauce bit too salty. Snow peas with mushroom (4/5) - tasted fresh. More mushrooms will have been nice read more

I even got there 30 mins b4 they closed. Guess what, they didn't rush me, they were very kind and my new friend Young (server) is awesome. The kid makes great suggestions and is such a sweet kid. He is visiting China next month and I hope he has a WONDER time and do BIG things. Please go visit this place, it's full of Asian soul and love. read more

Great quality, delicious food. Staff is excellent. Very attentive. Large parties are no problem.

Our favorite Chinese food, so far. Tried other places but this has so much flavor. Very friendly and kind

This place is pretty good. Especially love the salt and pepper fish. You'll have to ask for it because I don't recall seeing it on the menu. It tasted great and we love it with rice on the side. The service was pretty cool for the most part the ladies are nice and also very direct. The hardest part is parking since they have such a small area to park at. Give it a try, I think you'll be pleased. read more

Literally my favorite Chinese restaurant in central Phoenix. It's just what you want: tons of entree and side options, big portions, and the flavors are insane. The staff are always so friendly and you can tell they've established a neighborhood reputation because clearly it's full of regulars. People who keep coming back just like I do. I cannot recommend enough. read more
