    Had lunch here today since they were one of the few places open on a Sunday, which was nice. Despite what has been written in previous reviews, the lady that waited on me was not so friendly when I first arrived. She was kind of short and snippy when I told here I wanted to eat in and not take it to go. She warmed up and redeemed herself by the end of my visit. I ordered the lunch special Yu Shang Pork. The food came out piping hot and had clearly been made to order. All of the ingredients were fresh, but it was WAY too sweet. Like syrup sweet. I asked for some extra hot mustard, which helped a bit, but barely made it edible. The soup was good, the fried wonton and crab puff were pretty good too. The chicken eggroll I ordered was pretty dry and lacked flavor. I will try the veggie eggroll on a future visit. Finally, I had water to drink since they did not have any hot tea. I will certainly try again. I will be sure to pick something more familiar so that I can hopefully avoid the over sweet issue.

    Amazing that it took us so long to find this place. It's a little hole in the wall in a strip mall. Plenty of convenient parking. You can sit and eat but I think most people take out. If you eat there it is styrofoam and plastic plates and utensils. The service is wonderful and they are so friendly. It's obvious as we sat there that they gave many loyal regulars. Food comes out quickly - and it's piping hot and very tasty. We started with hot and sour soup. The color was lighter than we were used too, but flavor, texture and spiciness were perfect. We had almond chicken and king pao chicken. Both were very good. We found our new Chinese food place. And I just want to reiterate that it's a BONUS to do business with nice people. These people are so kind and courteous. YUMMY FOOD.

    Egg drop soup and wonton soup

    Some of the best classic Chinese weve had in years! Everything was super hot, fresh and made to order. The highlights were the egg drop & wonton soup and the house lo mein was epic! Three kings was delicious and full of perfectly cooked plump shrimp. The pork egg foo young was really good ...could've been a bit crispier though but the gravy was DELICIOUS. All the ladies working there were sweet and attentive. We will definitely return!

    I got orange chicken and Wor Wonton to go. I enjoyed both. The chicken had a little kick to it. I always order Wor Wonton Soup at any Chinese restaurant. It was good. I will say I had gotten takeout about 8 years ago and wasn't impressed, so maybe that was an off night. Glad I gave them another try.

    Best Chinese food spot in the Ahwatukee area. If you are a native Ahwatukeeians, circa 1991ish, you'll remember Abacus Inn that was on Elliott and 48th in the Safeway plaza; Great Wok is comprobale to them and they were the bomb. I usually get the sweet and sour chicken and the house lo mein. Big portions, feeds a family of 4 easily (two teenage kids), great taste, nice service and the prices are reasonable.

    China Chili delivers solid, no-frills Chinese-American favorites in a casual, welcoming spot…read more The four pot stickers arrived crispy on the bottom with a nice chew, paired with a simple dipping sauce, while the BBQ pork slices were tender, glossy, and lightly sesame-dusted over a bed of crisp lettuce - both solid starters. The teriyaki chicken dinner was the standout: a generous portion of glossy, savory-sweet chicken with sesame seeds, served with a neat mound of white rice. Everything was flavorful and satisfying without being overly heavy. Service matched the easygoing vibe--friendly, attentive staff kept things moving smoothly in a relaxed, unpretentious dining room that feels comfortable and inviting. A reliable neighborhood choice when you want classic Chinese comfort food without any fuss.

The server made sure i was aware this was a spicy dish. I was given the option of mild or really spicy. I like the fact I didn't have to ask. Really spicy can get me in trouble. My companion had a vegetable dish that came wrapped in light tortillas. Both had nice flavors I think. The sauces were appropriate, not heavy at all.. This is the first time I have had Chinese food in some time. I can't say more. Many people there early on Sunday but not overly noisy, they also have take out. My server wrapped my food up nicely to take with me and put in a bag. Quite a nice touch.

    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 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.

    **July 2026: Thursday Night**…read more We wanted to end our trip on a high note so we decided to try Lom Wong, a 2025 James Beard Award winner! The fact that the restaurant was very close to our Airbnb, and did not require a reservation also felt like a sign to make the visit. The spot is definitely trendy, and parking was tricky. Uber/Lyft would be my recommendation, but there is a paid parking garage down a couple of streets. We didn't need a reservation since we had a small party, but I would recommend if if you're coming with a party of four or more. We sat at the bar and ordered four dishes from different categories, which was a great way to sample the menu; though honestly I think we probably could have gotten away with just 3 dishes for a party of 2. We tried Yam Mamuang Boran (old-style green mango salad), Boo Pad Pong Garee (crab curry with ginger), Tom Yum Haeng Sen Yai (dry tom yum with wide noodles), and Naem Khao Tot (crispy rice salad with fermented pork sausage). The noodles and salad were definitely my favorite though everything was seasoned really well and incredibly flavorful. What I loved most was how thoughtfully prepared everything felt. The restaurant has a really sincere, home-style feel, and you can tell the food is rooted in tradition while still feeling special and elevated. It was the perfect final meal for our trip, and I'd definitely come back again.

The biggest disappointment was the Arai Kodai menu option, where the kitchen selects the dishes for you. Unfortunately, the selections felt pretty average. We were served Tom Kha Gai (a creamy coconut soup), Kaeng Phet Charindia (a red curry), Papaya Salad, and Scallop Crudo. While everything was well-executed, none of the dishes felt particularly unique or showcased why Lom Wong has such a great reputation. Honestly, it's the kind of meal I could find at a good neighborhood Thai restaurant. The other downside was the pacing. Being to Thailand many many times, this is nothing we have experienced. We had barely received our drinks and taken a single sip, when immediately every dish hit the table all at once. Instead of feeling like a curated dining experience, it felt rushed and a bit stressful trying to juggle multiple dishes plus our drink: Karaoke king (which would have been good if I had a second to enjoy it) Overall, it was still a nice meal and great atmosphere on par with other Thai restaurants. My advice: skip the chef's selection and order à la carte. Just be prepared for the food to come out quickly and all at once.
