    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.

    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.

    I've been to China Chili three times now, so I can safely say it's my favorite Chinese restaurant…read morein town. On my most recent visit, I stopped by on a Friday evening for dinner. They have complimentary parking in the front, side, and back of the restaurant. There aren't a ton of spots, but there's street parking close by too. Ambiance (3.5/5): Like most Chinese restaurants, China Chili is pretty no frills. Which isn't a problem for me at all, I'm there for the food. It's a spacious restaurant with both regular tables and circular tables that rotates (good for large groups sharing dishes). Service (4/5): Fantastic service is also not something I expect at a Chinese restaurant. Yet again, I'm there for the food. With that being said, service, while not overly friendly, is typically pretty efficient. Which I always appreciate. Drinks (4/5): Pretty much your standard soft drinks, tea, and a limited selection of alcoholic beverages. My favorite option is their buddha beer which you don't see in a lot of places. It's a lager and it's in a buddha-shaped bottle. It doesn't get much better than that. Food (5/5): The first time I came was for one of my favorite dishes... Peking duck. There aren't a ton of spots in Phoenix that have it, but out of the ones that do, China Chili serves it at a high level. You can go with either crepes or baos (additional surcharge). The duck is absolutely to die for. Flavorful, juicy meat with crispy skin that fits in perfectly into your mini "sandwich" with green onions and Hoisin sauce. For a reasonable price too. Their food outside of duck is of a similar quality. I especially like their flat noodles with beef. Even classic dishes like sesame chicken have a twist here. It's sliced chicken rather than fully breaded chicken. Just as good as the typical way, the sauce is delicious. My only complaint? They give you a pretty small helping of white rice with your dish. Outside of that, the portions are generous. Everything I've had at China Chili has been a hit. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

    We got the peking duck with buns and Szechuan style green beans. The duck came with hoisin sauce…read moreand shredded green onions. They gave each of us a bowl of rice. There aren't many places in Phoenix that serve duck this neatly like in my photo, and I appreciate that it's not another chain restaurant. Is it the best version of this dish I've ever had, no...but it can be a nice change from the usual options of beef, pork, shrimp, and chicken.

    I have been wanting to try this restaurant for the longest time and so glad I finally got to last…read moreFriday at lunch time. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and feels very upscale. 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. Service was impeccable and one you'd expect from an upscale restaurant. I can't wait to go back to try other dishes from the lunch menu. I also want to try their happy hour that's available everyday from 4-7PM. All the food items are only $7 and variety looks amazing.

The front entrance doesn't really match the size of the restaurant, though. It looks surprisingly small compared to how big the place is inside. The restaurant is decorated with lots of red, lanterns, and even a giant fortune cookie. The food is a mix of Chinese and Korean dishes, but it's definitely more Americanized Asian food. We ordered from their Lunch Combo Special. My friend got the Chili Garlic Fried Chicken and the Seafood Jjampong without shrimp because she's allergic to it. I got the Chili Garlic Shrimp with fried rice. When our server found out it was my friend's birthday, she told us we could choose a complimentary dessert from the menu, which was so nice! My friend picked the Glazed Sweet Potato with Lemon Sorbet. The lunch combos were huge. My friend was already so full after eating the jjampong that she had to take the chicken home. I really liked my shrimp and fried rice. They were so tasty that I finished everything! We also really enjoyed the Glazed Sweet Potato with Lemon Sorbet. The refreshing lemon sorbet paired perfectly with the sweet, warm glazed sweet potato. I try, I review, and I might come back again to try something else.

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.
