    The food tastes fine, and I would come back in a pinch, but it wouldn't be my first choice for chinese food. I didn't plan on eating in, but their dining room is closed, so it wasn't even an option. I also don't like that you are forced to tip, even though, again, I was not eating in. I was getting ready to check mark the custom box so I could leave just a $1 for my tip, but she kept pointing to the preset tip amounts which started at 15%. I wasn't so much being a cheapskate, but whenever doing take-out, I don't typically tip that much. So...despite the decent food, I was forced to order my food to go, then I was forced to tip at least 15%. Not good.

    Love this.

    My Beloved Returns!...PONGPONG ( 1/2/5 Stars, on Bell Rd.) I HAD two favorite restaurants in Phoenix: Los Compadres and PongPong. BOTH closed down - and long before Covid. Well, I finally got word, thanks, Rich!, PongPong has reopened! Here's to praying the same for Los Compadres someday. I was so overjoyed, that I pretty much botched my poker game today since going here post-poker was all on my mind. And I only play poker 2x a week, so I hate to miss it or do bad. But ever since I bit into this treasure tonight, I pretty much put poker waaaay behind me. PongPong was the first restaurant to introduce me to House Special Chicken, and I've actually never ordered anything else from this place. I first discovered this restaurant in probably 1997-8 and had been going until about 10 years ago and then they closed down. So, I had no choice until recently. The recipe has not changed, and it was OH-SO-GOOD. Same exact taste with each item. But, the "restaurant" has certainly changed. Not only did they discontinue dine-in, they barricaded the main dinning room and even made it so you can't even come close to the register. I had called ahead for pickup and they said 10 minutes. I got there, parked in a 15-minute only spot thinking it'd be ready in no time. Well, 20 minutes later, it was finally done. Thank God, they didn't tow me! LOL Additionally, they "required masks" (that I didn't have on me,) but the entire staff weren't wearing any, so I said whatevahs. I would highly recommend this place if you live in the area of 35th Ave and Bell, Phoenix AZ. *** Final Thoughts: I *WAS* going to begin my review with how upset I was with how MUCH they've increased their prices, but the absolute huge portions makes it a sharable meal with someone or even three separate stand-alone meals, so the price is way worth it. That said, they only offered 1 egg roll, 1 crab puff and 1 fortune cookie. So, while the rice and chicken can be three meals, you're gonna fight over the extras...unless each gets 1 choice.

    Egg roll and Crab Puff

    Pong Pong all day, every day! My friend raved about the beef sticks here, so I promised him I'd treat him to them. He ended up ordering two orders and scarfed them down very quickly so I was not able to get a picture. Being from NY, I've had my share of yummy and amazing Chinese food, therefore my standards are pretty high when it comes to enjoying Chinese food. Pong Pong went above and beyond my expectations. Anyway.. We were greeted right away and brought to a booth. We went at off time, around 230 PM. So it was after lunch, but before dinner. We pretty much had the entire place to ourselves. I ordered wonton soup to start. It was a bit darker broth than I'm used to, but it was very flavorful. It was also served with some veggies which made the soup a lot more filling. A small soup only cost $1.00!! For my meal I got shrimp and broccoli combination. Combination meals include fried rice, egg roll and crab puff (Rangoon). Such a filling meal for under $10! I had asked our waitress if my shrimp and broccoli could be made slightly spicy. And it was! She hit the spice mark right on the dot and it wasn't overwhelming. It was the absolute perfect amount of spice. I will absolutely always come here when I'm in town. I have no problem giving them my money. Take it all.

Their food is consistently the same no matter how busy it is, most recently during a heavy dinner hour - prime time. Yes, expect to wait, we started the 30 plus wait time out side and then inside in the small waiting area. It's not fancy by any means. TVs with a game on, servers moving about, and a steady stream of to go orders. We had King Pao Chicken, Beef with broccoli and Mongolian Beef. Also Wongs fried rice & appetizer plate and soups. I had hot & sour soup, absolutely delicious, a little spicy as it should be. My Mongolian Beef was probably the best prepared, very tender beef and flavorful I've had, and always consistently the same each visit. The other entrees severed were equally flavorful, tender meats and served fresh & hot. Servers are kind and knowledgeable of each dish and offer suggestions of their favorites. The seating area is in need of updating but very clean, as are the restrooms. But it's about the quality, quantity & consistency that keeps me returning. Just go!

Every dish was prepared beautifully and packed with flavor, but the lobster was truly divine. Perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and infused with the aromatic flavors of fresh ginger and green onions, it was one of those dishes that leaves a lasting impression long after the meal is over. The beef and shrimp lo mein were equally delicious, with rich savory flavors and generous portions, while the walnut shrimp was perfectly crisp with a delicate sweetness that balanced the dish beautifully. The fried rice was the perfect complement to everything on the table. We also enjoyed a few sake bombers, which are hands down the best we've had anywhere. They are always perfectly prepared and have become a must-order whenever we visit. They pair wonderfully with the food and add an extra touch of fun to an already fantastic dining experience. What truly sets China Chili apart is its consistency. Whether it's your first visit or your hundredth, you can always count on exceptional food, attentive service, and genuine hospitality.

It's probably the fanciest Chinese restaurant I've been to in AZ. The lunch menu is excellent and quite impressive! There are 8 entrees to choose along with a side for only $20. What's crazy is that a full size seafood and wagyu beef belly jjampong is a side! They're regularly $24 so it's a crazy deal to get an additional entree!! We ordered seafood jjampong and wagyu beef jjampong as sides and genghis khan beef and chili garlic fried chicken as mains. The jjampong had that great umami taste without the oiliness that's unavoidable at other restaurants. The ingredients felt very premium and fresh. Ghengis khan beef pieces were very generous and tender with a savory sauce. Chili garlic chicken was a tad salty for me but had great crisp.

We also ordered beer and a whisky drink so we weren't cheap. The food was pretty good. The ticket time on my entree was about 10 minutes but the other two at our table didn't get their food for almost half an hour. No consistency. I may try this place again much earlier in the night.

Gotta support local when you can I say! The menu is pretty basic and has all your typical options for Americanized Chinese food. Wanting to get something that had noodles in it, I opted for the combination #1 which has chow mein crispy noodles, pork fried rice, and two tempura shrimp. Quite a lot of food and for a very reasonable price! I think the combo was around $10. If you are a fan of bean sprouts, this is your place. The chow mein had a massive pile of beansprouts on top. The noodles were indeed crispy but they was such a meager portion compared to the beansprouts. The fried rice was pretty basic but also a generous portion and the two tempura shrimp had a nice crispy batter. I tried some of the eggroll too which is one of the most unique versions I've had since the super crispy outer layer was either a different preparation or different wrap material than I'm used to. The interior was made primarily of beansprouts too. Service was good. Our food was prepared fairly quickly.

    **July 2026: Thursday Night**…read more We wanted to end our trip on a high note and try Lom Wong, especially since it's a James Beard Award winner. It also felt like a sign that the restaurant was very close to our Airbnb, so we knew we had to check it out before leaving Phoenix. The spot is definitely trendy, and parking can be a little tricky, so it's probably good to plan ahead. We didn't need a reservation when we went, but I'd probably recommend one if you're coming with a party of four or more. We were seated at the bar and ordered a four dishes from different categories, which was a great way to sample the menu - though I think we probabaly could have gotten away with just 3 dishes for a party of 2.

I really want to believe it was a fluke. Rushing to get food out quickly to mimic Thai street food is not desirable when quality is sacrificed and the customer is paying almost $40 for a plate.. I will say the food came out within minutes of ordering. Our server was nice and patient. I needed some extra time to look over the menu and he didn't rush us to order even though he was very busy. The food was so lackluster and it pains me to say that about a Thai restaurant. Every dish was just missing something, whether it was some spicy or citrus. Every dish was very one dimensional. The Boo Pad Pong Garee, or stir fried crab curry, was dry and underwhelming. It was missing spice for me. There were huge chunks of crab though. The Naem Khao Tawt, or crispy rice salad, may have been my favorite bite of the night. It had a great balance of textures and flavors. It was refreshing and helped cut through some of the dryness of the crab curry. I loved the cured pork sausage. Tom Yum Haeng Sen Yai, or the stir fried flat rice noodles with squid, wasn't terrible. I love flat rice noodles and they had the distinct char that you would get from wok cooking. Loved that. The flavors overall weren't bad. Just again, underwhelming and lacked a good balance of flavors. I would have liked more spice, citrus, and umami. We did not care for the creme brûlée duo. The hibiscus one was soooooo intensely sour that it was almost inedible. It was very bright though. The lemongrass one reminded me too much of a savory lemongrass soup that I couldn't enjoy it. Some of the spiel and verbiage that the team had was a little pretentious and awkward. I saw them "kindly" kicking out a table for sitting past their reservation time. I've never ever seen a restaurant do that before. Really not that bad but really not worth the $20-$40 price tags either. I'm open to coming back and trying other dishes. I really think I may have came on a bad night.
