Half roast duck, yummy
John T.

Came here on a Monday date night for the first time. Nice quaint Chinese restaurant located in a very large shopping center. Enough parking for 300+ cars as the parking lot is shared with other businesses. There is no shaded parking so you'll be parking in the hot Phoenix sun during the day. There is a Dollar Tree and Little Caesars Pizza a few doors down. There is a nice peaceful romantic vibe inside this place. The decor is a soft red theme with Asian art along the walls. Heard some great songs playing lightly in the background: Stevie Wonder, Pink Floyd, and other easy listening music. We came hungry so we ordered the following: Mapo tofu with pork. This was delicious, the tofu was very soft so if you like firm tofu than you should tell them to cook it a little longer. Overall flavor was lightly sweet and pork was portioned perfectly. Thai Curry Chicken. This dish was amazing, classic full curry flavor that is mild with a non spicy kick, just full of real authentic curry flavor. Pieces of chicken generously mixed with green bell peppers and onions. Side of fried rice. Freshly made rice full of flavor and not overly salty. Pot of white rice. Hot, fresh, fluffy and added great balance to the rich flavors of the entree dishes. Half roast duck. This was the highlight of the meal. Tender, moist, and cooked evenly throughout. My only feedback is that I would have enjoyed it more if it was more crispier. I'd say it was probably 30% crispy and not fully crispy all over. Served with hoisin dipping sauce. Bbq pork buns. White fluffy cake like buns with a yummy pork filling inside. Came with 4 pieces in one order. Highly recommend this place. Service was prompt and friendly, no mistakes were made with our order. We will come back for sure. Also, the best part is the prices are very reasonable. They do have a very extensive menu with vegetarian options. We clearly ordered enough food for 4 people between just me and my wife and our check was a little over $60. Took some leftovers home to enjoy. Truly a feel good meal experience!!

Not tasty . Slow service and the chicken broth had a weird taste to it. It was a convenient location but I probably won't go there again.

How authentic is this place?

I don't know exactly how authentic as that is a difficult question. What I do know is that the is one of two Chinese restaurants that I really like because the food is always made with fresh ingredients. The quality of their food is superior along…

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 came here with my friend for lunch to celebrate her birthday. It was my first time here, and the…read moreplace is huge! 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.

Went late after a game. There was only one other table in the restaurant…read more We had been in 112° heat all day and were really thirsty. The water glasses looked like what you'd make a tequila sunrise in (tall & skinny). Obviously with ice that type of glass doesn't hold very much water. Getting a refill and we needed several, was worse than pulling teeth. We had the bartender as the only employee left working. One time I had to ask four times for a refill. 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.
