My favorite place for szechuan food. Everything was amazing!! I can't stop thinking about their mopu tofu and Chingqing spicy popcorn chicken. The price is super reasonable too! It was a bit busy when we were there, but we still got amazing service. The place has a couple of big tables, so great for groups. They are super sweet to my kids too! We don't go to metro west area that often, but when we do go there, one of my kids are begging to go there he's 10 and love spicy foods. It's best Szechuan restaurant for Orlando area!! read more

- I'm always ecstatic to find a place with good Chinese food - Go inside and take a number from the machine, wait till your number is called to be seated. If you're not inside the restaurant, they will also call you - Got eggplant in garlic sauce, pork in garlic sauce, Dan Dan noodles, deep fried mini buns - The only thing I didn't like was the Dan Dan noodles. They drown it in sichuan peppercorn sauce and it's too numbing - Rice is ordered separately - Everything was so flavourful and the portions are huge - The service was quick - They have about 4 large tables, good for 6-7 people read more

Chilispot - Chinese Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Living in Orlando feels like a hit or miss when it comes to authenticity Chinese food. My family and I had not had what feels like real Chinese food In a very long time and we went on a Friday night. So glad that we found this gem! Not sure where to start... all the dishes were savory, cooked to perfection and would come out as they were ready. Service was excellent, they were so helpful and patient as we were a little overwhelmed with the menu (so many delicious options) There is something for everyone, from noodle soups, to authentic classics, to spicy wontons to Szechuan dishes. And the potions are generous! We literally shared everything and still had leftovers. Definitely will be coming back. read more

Most Asians I've seen since our visit so this spot is legit chinese food. Parking is in a plaza and accompanies a grocery store. Despite coming from a heavily Asian area, this place offered some pretty unique dishes. The male server is very efficient and observant making sure every need is met and the dishes come out fast. For example, a table was having trouble packing and he swooped in and offered to help, flawlessly packed the soup within minutes. Hes also able to figure out any technical errors. Duck- never had a crispy fried version but the meat was still tender with a nice crackle crust. I loved the side slaw to cut through the oil Stomach tripe cold dish- solid flavor good mix right texture Boiled fish- lots of fish, very authentic numbing spicy l, maybe almost too much peppercorn oil as even soy milk tasted weird after lol. Rice cost per Bowl and the soy milk is a canned version so don't recommend it. Each table also has an electric stove so maybe good for dry/hot pot. Overall great place, id highly recommend to try. read more

Ok they have never disappointed us yet this is our 3rd visit. This time we tried their Dandan noodles and we have unanimously agree this was the best tasting Dandan noodle we've had. We are eager to come back and try some new dishes as well as we asked other customers what they were eating. Apparently their beef tongue is a popular dish. read more

I went back again tonight to have the chili spot fish again... couldn't stop thinking about it from the 1st time. Again, outstanding!

Chilispot - Chilespot fish! 10 stars! - Chinese Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Located in a strip mall, this place was amongst quite a few places in that area. I personally am a snob with Asian food but this place was pretty decent. Most of the food was spicy on the menu which I can't really eat but we ordered the non spicy dishes such as saute veggies, soup noodles, etc. Food was good and the ambiance pretty casual. Place was full for a Sunday afternoon but we still got a table and good service. read more

It's authentic szechuan cuisine. Menu well designed. Place was packed with Chinese, a good sign. How spicy a fish is a highly individual preference, but I think this restaurant did well in warning people how spicy a dish is by default. The hot soup with beef was warm hearty and just what I needed. Beef was slightly fatty and savory. Paired well with rice. Got sautéed pork. It was like bacon, slightly slightly sweet but not overtly so, and provided just the right amount of heat. I actually thought it wasn't spicy enough do i got chili oil on the side. So addictingly good. Service: good and reminded me of china. If you needed anything they would provide it. It wasn't like some spots where they serve you food and never come back. Fast. Friendly. Especially if you speak Chinese. Ambiance: busy. Crowded. Slightly cramped feeling. But you get the feeling they are prepared for busy dinner service so it was ok. Would come back. read more

Excellent food, quick service. Spicy popcorn chicken, salted egg yolk shrimp, and beef with blackened pepper were all good. I appreciate that the chicken here was boneless, which I vastly prefer (as some Asian places will do it with chopped pieces of bone-in chicken for better flavor, but you've got to watch out for little pieces of bone). The salted egg yolk shrimp is interesting flavor. The beef was tender and done right, bell peppers and onion cooked but still some crisp to them, and decent flavor on the sauce. I'd be happy to come back again. read more

This restaurant is such a hidden gem. I tried a sample of their food at a Yelp event over a year ago and I loved it but the restaurant is a far drive for me. When I was staying at the Helios hotel for a work event, I looked the restaurant up and I was so happy to see this location was near by! My daughter and I went for dinner one night. It was a Friday night and it was not too busy. We were seated right away. The waitress let us know that the meals were big enough to split so I ordered the sizzling beef with black pepper. This dish was amazing! It was piping hot, flavorful and filling. The plate of beef and peppers arrived sizzling like fajitas. We had enough to split for dinner that night and enough to take leftovers back to the hotel. I asked for extra white rice for the left overs and the waitress did not even charge us. We got all of this for $20.95! Very rarely you get a big, filling, delicious meal for such a reasonable price. I really wish they had a location near me but anytime I am in this area I will definitely be coming back! read more

As a true lover of Szechuan cuisine, Chilispot is doing lots of things right! The food stays true to traditional Szechuan recipes, and all of your favorites, from cumin lamb to bullfrog are on the menu. The prices are moderate for the portions and quality. It's located in the strip mall, but don't let that keep you away. They are delivering authentic and delicious Szechuan food in this little tiny shop. Recommended. read more

Great traditional chinese food. Be prepared to wait as usually there a line which should tell you that this is a good place.

We had a large group on 10 and had several signature dishes. Best was the fried noodles with beef, boiled beef, fish in sour soup, and drooling chicken. Also mashed eggplant and old eggs. Tasty. Mapo tofu uses the wrong kind of tofu. Most highly recommended. read more

Nice place for Sichuan food. I am new to this cuisine but everything I ordered was flavorful.

I was so impressed by the high quality dishes I tried at Chilispot. I cannot recommend this place enough for authentic Chinese dishes. I arrived on a Thursday night at 9:30pm. Even though the restaurant closes at 10pm, the waiters were incredibly kind and still let me order and take a seat. The service itself was commendable throughout my experience - the waiters were quick and kept checking in with my party to make sure we were enjoying the food. The restaurant interior is comfortable, and even though it was late, the restaurant was packed. The food was so good! As someone who eats Chinese food often, I was blown away by this spot's unique dishes. My absolute favorite dish was the deep fried egg tofu with salted egg yolk. The egg tofu was so silky, a contrast with the salted egg yolk batter on the outside. It was the perfect bite of savory flavors. I've never seen this dish at other Chinese restaurants, and I was a fan of how unique and delicious it was. The dry fried string beans were crispy and salty, stir fried with an umami minced pork. I could not stop eating them, and the string beans were delicious paired with rice. Lastly, the Szechuan style short rib had a mala spice that was decadent. It was just enough spice and was balanced with a generous topping of fresh cilantro. Every single dish was delicious, the waiters were on top of it, and I loved my visit! I will definitely be coming back. read more

Food here is really authentic and delicious. Would highly recommend! As the name suggests, almost all dishes are spicy, but it's not too much that you can't handle it, or that it masks the flavours of the dishes. They have a wide assortment of very tasty dishes, and would recommend the boiled fish! read more

Finally made the trek to this spot and wow what a hole in the wall! Definitely legit as the clientele was all older Asians. Staff spoke English but mandarin definitely preferred. Basically all the food is spicy but different intensities. The boiled fish was really tasty I was surprised because wasn't initially appetizing. Also ordered a tofu dish but felt like it was missing something. The popcorn chicken was a bit too crispy, tasted more like pork rinds with spicy seasoning. Another dish I failed to document was a cold potato dish which was great! There was a zing to the food and i kept going back for more. The cold noodle dish was also very good, easy to wash off the spicy for a toddler. Overall pretty impressed with this spot, prices are on the higher end and better to go with more people to eat family style. read more

Pathetic service and there is always one person watching us while we were eating . Being Indians , they didn't offered us chopsticks while it was there on every table but not on our table. Food also was ok . We ordered popcorn chicken and they smelled and tasted stale and dry and you could sense that they were fried more than once. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone read more

We discovered this hidden gem during our search for an authentic Szechuan restaurant. We went for an early dinner on a weeknight and it was not too busy. The restaurant was well lit and I loved the aroma of the spices that permeated throughout the space. The staff quickly seated us and were very pleasant throughout our meal. We ordered the jelly in chili sauce, cumin lamb, and cauliflower pot. The cold glass jelly paired nicely with the vinegary, mala, sauce to open up the palate. The cumin lamb was so flavorful and I can taste the strong cumin flavor together with the gaminess of the lamb. The cauliflower pot came out blazing hot. The cauliflower had a nice char on it. The vegetable sucked up all the wonderful aroma and spice from the peppercorns! I ended my meal with a numb tongue and sniffling nose - all great signs of wonderful Szechuan food! TLDR; excellent Szechuan food and I would highly recommend to anyone in Orlando! read more

Second time here. We went a little spicy. Everything was delicious. I forgot to snap a picture of the lamb cumin. I love it. It might end up becoming my go to entry whenever I visit. The staff are lovely. Top to bottom everyone is so helpful. As mentioned it was our second time. We were the only anglos this time. I think everyone would and should feel comfortable here.

This is a highly hyped Sichuan restaurant in the area. We stopped by three times this week, each time was told greater than 1 hour wait time and left. This place does not take reservation, so if you really want to try the place out, my advice is to come early. However, i would personally recommend avoid the hype, go find a similar Sichuan style restaurant instead. Today, after an hour plus wait time, we finally got a table. The dinning room has a style modern design. The service was good. Now, speaking of the hype, this food is definitely overrated. Though the food tastes authentic, but really nothing makes this place any special compared to other Sichuan style restaurants. My biggest complaint is with the Chinese green peppers fish(a $50 dish), the dish is extremely salty and definitely missed the mark. read more

I would consider this restaurant definitely one of the better Chinese restaurants I've been to in Orlando. The food here is great and so is the service! My group and I ordered the Chongqing Spicy popcorn chicken which has nuts which someone in our group was allergic to so they went ahead and made us a brand new dish without nuts even letting us keep the previous popcorn chicken without extra charge! The food here is also seasoned great with a large amount of flavor and even the pig intestine which normally I'm not a huge fan was great here and I couldn't stop myself from eating more. The one thing I will say though if you are not a fan of spicy food or have a hard time handling spice I would suggest either looking for another restaurant since spice is their main specialty. Other than that I would definitely recommend this restaurant and would come back again! read more

Chilispot - Chongqing Spicy Popcorn Chicken Boiled Pigs Intestine in Hot Sauce Dry Pot Shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Definitely a hidden gem! I heard about this place from a family member and have been wanting to come ever since. For me, I consider this place to have the perfect spice level. You're not constantly sweating and chugging water. Because I've been wanting to come for a while, we got a lot of food. Here's my ranking from top to bottom: - Boiled Fish in Hot Sauce - Szechuan Wontons (Spicy) - Dry Pot Lamb Spine - Chicken w/ Savory and Spicy Garlic sauce - Chongqing Spicy Popcorn Chicken - Spicy Kidney Slice w/ chili sauce - Mapo Tofu My boyfriend loves kidneys and livers so the spicy kidney dish is at the top of the list for him. But for me, the boiled fish was the star of the show. The portions are generous and the fish was very tender. It also had beansprouts and vegetables that soaked up all the flavor. Would 100% get it again. But because all the dishes were spicy and packed with flavor, it kind of overshadowed the Mapo Tofu. It didn't really have the spicy numbing szechuan flavor that it typically has. But if you're looking for a milder dish, then this would be a good option! read more

Visited the Ritz in Grande Lakes. I was craving Szechuan cuisine and came across Chilispot. Saw recommendations for the Chongqing Spicy Popcorn Chicken, and I must say 10/10. The specific numbing and heat of the Szechuan peppercorn and seasoning used delivered! Hit the craving on the head. The level of spicy isn't crazy hot, but for those that don't like spicy, I would recommend staying away. It was a medium level but the most important thing is that it's not a tradition hot that you expect with hot sauce. It was more of a seasoned, Cajun-esque, deep flavor, heat. One of my favorite flavors when it comes to food. Ordered a side of white rice but tip: the dish did come with rice already, so I had double! Also, 5 stars because of the service. The hinge container was bundled right with rubber bands so there was not leakage or mess in the bag when received. I appreciate that effort from a restaurant when it comes to online orders. Can't wait to return to Orlando to try this spot in-person! read more

Chilispot - Mapo Tofu - Chinese Near Me - Orlando, Florida

My wife, daughter and I visited on Saturday, this was only for lunch and since it was our first visit we ordered two standard Chinese dishes, we got the Kung Pao Chicken and fried rice. The Kung Pao Chucken literally was only chicken and peanuts, no vegetables, not even onions and bell peppers. Their Kung Pao sauce was IMHO not good, possibly an authentic schezwan dish, but nothing like I ever had before, loaded with schezwan pepper and chili oil, yet not particularly spicy. As a comparison Panda Express's Kung Pao Chicken is more spicy and not oily and has bell peppers and zucchini, and is just plain better in my novice opinion. Also their Kung Pao was loaded with peanuts, nearly 50/50 ratio of peanuts to chicken, this was strange and not good, to me, I enjoy a few peanuts, but it would seem more normal to have a lot more chicken than peanuts. The dish was literally chicken, peanuts, and a lot of schezwan pepper and chili oil. I mean just plain dripping in chili oil. The fried rice was better, a mix green onions, eggs, pork and shrimp. Good but dry, not enough sauce, and there were no condiments such as soy or hoisin on table, so we couldn't add our own. The resturant was packed, probably a dozen dishes on menu that could have been more to my liking. But I thought going with Kung Pao for first visit seemed like a smart choice, but I was wrong at this place. Honestly, if this authentic, I would be better off just going to Cantonese style places in the future, I just could not get past the level if schezwan pepper and chili oil. Service was fine, nice... read more
