    Zombie Strong
    Aquiala M.

    I have been going to CP for over six years now. My go-to, highly recommended combo zombie potent cocktail, spicy fried chicken and fried rice. If you go, you will see most of the other customers drinking zombies and eating spicy fried chicken. It's just so good. The restaurant needs to be updated and offer a five-star or high-quality restaurant, but the food is good. Also, the customer service is so-so; again, the food quality makes up for that.

    vegetable fried rice
    China D.

    I feel like China Phoenix has been around since God made the earth. No lie LOL! This spot will get you lit real quick off just 1 zombie then sobered up real quick off 1 order of chicken wings and fried rice. Like I have had fried rice at many asian businesses but their rice taste just like the rich flavorful ingredients as a Brooklyn chinese carryout. Not many places know how to whip up the rice like this. Every time I fly home I make sure I stop here! They never fail and I always have a good time. One zombie drink will get you right but two will get you like a smooth criminal. LOL. 5 stars every time.

    "Sesame beef"
    Meghan B.

    The first time we went, it was delicious. My husband and I couldn't wait to go back. Got carry out tonight. This is supposed to be sesame beef, it was disgusting. I'm so disappointed. My husbands general tso chicken was just as bad. Dry and no flavor.

    Hot fries & Spicy wings
    Rudy B.

    This is one of my favorite hidden gems in Columbus honestly. It reminds me of an older Chinese restaurant in terms of style, music & the underlying aroma in the air. They are known for their zombies, hot fries & spicy wings. Those alone are worth the trip & it's quite frankly all I ever get. The portions are great & the price is extremely reasonable. A great location to visit after a long day of work. Just a warning, those zombies can be addicting (in a good way) so watch yourself lol.

    You can tell this is an old staple of the neighborhood. I came because of the reviews and left drunk. The spicy wings were ok a little too oily for my taste but my kind of pepper so I still enjoyed it. Now let's talk about these drinks! The waiter suggested the zombie so it was what I ordered. It was like a Chinese Rum Punch I am a fan! I literally left skipping.

    This was the most expensive Chinese food I've ever had and wasn't good. Chicken didn't even taste like chicken.

    The roast pork fried rice is the best in town. The wonton soup rivals anything west if Mott ST. in Manhattan

    I arrived at noon and the parking lot was already pretty full for this very unassuming Chinese…read morerestaurant from the outside. There is plenty of free parking which is nice. When I walked in the atmosphere was great, I could smell good food and heard conversations. There's a large area with large round tables to right and to the left are booths and almost all of them were full. The menu was a mix of Americanized Chinese, traditional Chinese and included Dim Sum as well. There were a number of dishes we didn't know much about and there were dishes being enjoyed by other customers that looked delicious. The wait staff was more than happy to explain the dishes and/or show us on the menu what someone was eating. They took very good care of us and shared the tasks of bringing our food, filling water, and just checking in. Now the food. The food came out very quickly! We all received a well filled bowl of rice. First out was the string beans, perfectly cooked, not droopy, and the flavors of garlic and hot peppers. Even though the peppers were there the heat was not overpowering at all. Next was the shredded pork with garlic sauce. The textures of the pork and bamboo shoots were a nice contrast and the sauce was perfectly balanced and craveable. The special grilled lamb, I was told, was some of the best in the city. It was tender and well spiced. Even when he said he was full he just couldn't stop eating it. For the dim sum order we got the shrimp dumplings, soup dumplings, scallion pancake, and sesame balls and they brought a soy sauce and a chili oil with them. The shrimp dumplings were tender but the dough was pretty sticky. I think this is normal and they were tasty with some of the oil on them. The scallion pancakes were very thin and gummy, this is the only thing we ordered that I would not get again. The soup dumplings were very small but packed a lot of flavor. The dough did stick together a bit so unfortunately some of the soup did leak out. The sesame balls were the hit and we're just the right amount of sweetness that we considered them desert. They were large, at least 2" in size, with a wonderful sesame seed covered exterior and a soft, sweet center. Chuan Jiang Hao Zi is a wonderful somewhat hidden gem. If you want traditional Chinese cuisine including all the different offal they have it and I would totally try it here over anyone else if I was brave enough. Portions were a good size for the price. I highly recommend checking them out!

    Spicy Dumplings w/ chili oil - Excellent Crab Rangoons -…read moreAbove Average+ My family ordered Mongolian Beef, Kung Pao Chicken & Hunan Chicken. I had the Kung Pao Chicken & it was by far the best I'd ever eaten. So many layers of flavor & heat. (a bit spicy for me, but I struggled through & loved every bite) Will definitely be back to explore some of the more "exotic" dishes on the menu. (Wasn't feeling to adventurous this trip) The restaurant was well decorated & the staff took great care of us. (saw a large selection of dumplings at this place too.....definitely be back to try those)

    It's been a little while since my last Chilispot visit and I'm happy to report it's just as good!…read more We came on a Friday early dinner and it wasn't busy at all - zero wait to be seated and very quiet. We were greeted and seated quickly and service was very friendly. As we were hungry, we took a mi Ute to decide what to order. We had planned on storm fish, but made a last minute decision to Sichuan sliced beef (we loveeee a numbing pepper!) with starts of egg roll and spicy wontons. Seriously those wontons are one of the best things in the whole city. They're SO good I could eat a few orders of those alone and be happy. Egg rolls are nice, but just a simple egg roll. Nicely crispy and tasty with the spicy mustard. The Sichuan sliced beef was the perfect thing for a chilly rainy dinner. We love spicy so I'm a bad judge of heat level, but this is spicy but a numbing spicy. Lovely spooned over steamed rice. The cabbage and bean sprouts were my favorite bits in this dish because they added a crunch. Might ask for extra next time!

There are 10 booths that line the wall and 10 tables down the center. The seats are very comfortable. There is plenty of lights in order to see the extra large menu that looks more like a coloring book. The women who took our order had problems understanding English from the looks of it. One person at my table wanted to exchange rice for noodles but she didn't seem to understand. The food was very good but a bit expensive but worth it. Because they give you plenty. We had to take some home with us. I would go back to Chilispot they did a great job in service and in taste.

    Blasian Grill - Steak and shrimp hibachi

    I keep hearing good things about this, and I've been meaning to come for a while, but it's out of…read moremy way. Plus, I figured hibachi can take awhile, and I usually don't have a long time for lunch. Today I had a little more time, and I made a point to head over. It is a bit out of the commercial sprawl at the corner. Look for the food truck, that's the first thing I saw, and it helped me find where to turn in. I wasn't sure if there would be dine in, but there is, plenty of seating inside and out. Inside there are seats at the counter, plus booths, plus I think a couple tables. Menu is pretty basic: hibachi and a few sides. I got steak and chicken, with fried rice, and you pick two vegetables so I picked cabbage and bean sprouts. You get a Yum Yum sauce, and you can add others, but I didn't need them. And the sauce container they gave me was plenty big. The steak was tender and perfectly cooked, the chicken was tender and flavorful, cooked in a nice sauce. The fried rice was great. The vegetables were perfectly cooked. And it all came out in about five minutes. They had a steady stream of carry out customers, but they still got mine on the grill, apparently as soon as I ordered it. Fast and good, and competitively priced for hibachi. A big portion, but not a huge, two days' worth of leftovers portion. But I was stuffed and couldn't finish it all. When I saw the drink cooler with just water and a few juices, I figured I'd have to go with those, but they do have fountain drinks. And they actually have a pretty good variety, cola, diet cola, cream soda, blueberry, cherry I think, and a few others. Anyway, several pleasant surprises, the food lived up to its reputation, I was in and out fast, and for not a whole lot of money in this day and age. I will be back.
