- Very clean, quick, attentive service - Yummy savory and tangy chili oil wontons - Loved the spicy boiled fish. Had a kick but not too spicy, especially if you accidentally ate a peppercorn. Included lots of veggies - Great sweet and savory soup dumplings but wrapper felt very soft at the bottom, and a bit gummy, as if it's been frozen - Pretty interior - Egg fried rice is tasty but amount is little - Lemon tea is DELICIOUS but also lots of ice for the price read more

This place disappointed me. Although the interior of the place is clean and fairly modern, and the service was pretty good, I cannot claim that the food quality was just as good. All three items I got were subpar, and none of them stood out in a positive way. In addition, each item was priced more than other Chinese restaurants in the area. I will not come back. read more

I got the spicy chili oil dumplings and miso Sapporo ramen. The dumplings weren't really spicy but had a nice flavor. The ramen had a good broth and I liked how many toppings it came with. I think the food is decent but not necessarily outstanding. I think everything was cooked well and a good price. Our server was very friendly but it looked like she was handling all the tables solo. This did lead to a bit of a wait whenever we asked for something. The restaurant is clean but a bit cold. This is a casual spot I would go to again if I was in the area. read more

The restaurant is so spacious and nicely designed inside. For food, I recommend getting the yellowtail jalepeno. It is so fresh and delicious if you like raw fish! The salt and pepper squid was also yummy with the sauce to dip on the side. The lucky six soup dumplings provide a variety if you're not sure which filling to get. Great during a chilly day! The spicy crawfish is great for spicy lovers. It comes in a big clay pot with Asian spices. It's so good even for someone like me who can't handle spice well (do share though!). The service is great. The waiter kept checking in on us to see if we needed anything and even packed our leftovers for us. read more

I am rested take out on the way home. The hostess was kind, polite and helpful. She took my order fast and then I waited, and I waited and then waited some more. There was barely anyone in the place and it took a century and a day for the sushi to come. It finally came and it was good, not great, not the best I've ever had but a solid good. Would I come back again? I'd give it one more shot with the hopes the order doesn't take forever. read more

This is a perfect place to grab food and drinks with a large group before heading to the arena for basketball. Me and six others were seated (we had a reservation for 5:30pm on Friday), and ordered drinks and food from the menu. I got a Long Island iced tea and Sapporo. The iced tea was alright, and my beer was crisp. For food, we got tuna tataki, yellowtail, wings, crab Rangoon, and chili oil dumplings. All of it was good, with the wings being my fav along with crab Rangoon. The reason I'm giving it 4/5 is because of the happy hour. We got real value out of the deals. It's also fairly new and has tons of tv for sports. Service was solid too. If I come with a large group for quick bites and drinks, this is the spot now. read more

Hmm, was craving Dan Dan noodles and saw this place had it on themed but no reviews. I got the food to go, but the Dan Dan noodles were ok. The sauce was more peanut strong than spicy. The cucumber salad didn't have that crisp bite or spicy flavor. Overall, it's okay, but I wouldn't get it. read more

The food was amazing, and the service was very quick. Also the vibe was very chill. I think that you should visit this hidden gem

Cute place, cute set up. I've been twice and the Shrimp Tempura was not good , the shrimp was overly mushy. The seafood boils are okay but overrated in my opinion Crafty crab has cheap better options. I had to send my silverware back both times they weren't cleaned properly. And the Manager christian, very money hungry as well. I bought wings from them earlier in the day and I was going back pass I needed to use the restroom she said I would have to buy something even after explain I had got some earlier. I wouldn't much better places with better service. read more

Waiter and host were arguing on the floor at one another. Second waitress knew nothing about the menu to assist informing me what was fully in the dish base. Looked irritated because I had questions that they couldn't answer and did not feel the need to go and ask team member for clarity if they didn't know. read more

Good happy hour deals with 50% off appetizers and the wontons were really good. But nowhere does it say that you need to buy an alcoholic drink to get happy hour. I don't drink, and I had to buy alcohol to get the deal read more

Everything is great! The restaurant is beautiful and so many good options. The servers are amazing Service is great! Such a great place to eat with the best seafood boil ever omgggg!! read more

I had a great experience here before an event at Cap One. We shared several smaller dishes, with the standouts being the Crispy Rice, the Soup Dumplings, and the Shrimp Tempura. The food probably won't blow your mind, but it hits the spot. Service was attentive and fast. The atmosphere was nicer than expected at this price point. Prices were very reasonable since they run Happy Hour all-day long on weekdays. read more

The seafood boil is very good and feeling. Seafood tastes fresh. My server Anaya was amazing!!! Food came out very quickly as well. The vibe here is very cute and modern. Will be coming back soon, thanks! read more

The attitude from a worker, most likely, management (Sonia) was very rude. Yelling at workers is very disrespectful. There should be some type of management training on how to respectfully treat employees and the public. read more

Tables were all full of dirty dishes. Took forever to get food and drinks. Food was good.

Well.. the restaurant itself has a good vibe and the server we had was very nice. The issue is that not only did it take a very long time for food to come out only my meal came. My Fiancé ordered a sushi platter that the cooks never saw aparently. We waited 30 min and still her food had not shown up.. not to mention the appetizer we ordered. My food got cold as I slowly picked at it waiting for her entree. After nearly an hour we just asked for the bill and her food to go which took another few minutes to even come out. When we asked what could be done for the ruined experience a 10% discount and sorry was all we received. If you want to go to a restaurant that doesn't care about its guests experience then this is the spot for your. At least the food tasted good.. after 2hrs waiting for it. read more

Sat in the bar and waited for 10 minutes to have the bartender acknowledge our table. Ordered two sushi roll special for $15. Two six piece sushi rolls that were absolutely the worse sushi I have ever had. No flavor and had a gritty texture when chewing. Two co-workers ordered chicken fried rice and I went with sesame chicken entree with fried rice. Sesame chicken was ok but the fried rice was terrible. The chicken in the fried rice looked like strips of calamari instead of chicken. NO WAY THIS PLACE HAS A LEGITIMATE 4.3 RATING!!! read more

Huge portion of perfectly cooked Bulgogi. The place is new and staff was very friendly.

We arrived to the restaurant, cold and hungry and looking for any restaurant that would be willing to accommodate us. After being turned down by two restaurants, the staff of Chili Bistro welcomed us despite only being opened for half an hour more. Our server George was funny and welcoming, he was very attentive and the food was delicious. Easy five stars! read more

If you want the thrill of wondering whether you're being pranked while dining then this is the place for you. Gas station sushi would be a better choice over this place. Highlight of the meal? Leaving the place. read more
