The food is consistently outstanding, and the warm, attentive service keep us coming back time and time again. On this visit, we ordered the sautéed whole lobster with green onions and ginger, beef lo mein, shrimp lo mein, walnut shrimp, and fried rice. Every dish was prepared beautifully and packed with flavor, but the lobster was truly divine. Perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and infused with the aromatic flavors of fresh ginger and green onions, it was one of those dishes that leaves a lasting impression long after the meal is over. The beef and shrimp lo mein were equally delicious, with rich savory flavors and generous portions, while the walnut shrimp was perfectly crisp with a delicate sweetness that balanced the dish beautifully. The fried rice was the perfect complement to everything on the table. We also enjoyed a few sake bombers, which are hands down the best we've had anywhere. They are always perfectly prepared and have become a must-order whenever we visit. They pair wonderfully with the food and add an extra touch of fun to an already fantastic dining experience. What truly sets China Chili apart is its consistency. Whether it's your first visit or your hundredth, you can always count on exceptional food, attentive service, and genuine hospitality. The staff is welcoming, friendly, and always makes us feel like valued guests.

I ordered dinner the first time and picked it up and had it delivered the second time. I have now eaten the duck, three chow meins, rice, green beans, a vegetable dish, egg rolls and crab puffs. Every dish has felt clean and tasted clean. No chemical after taste, no excessive saltiness. I have been impressed with the food here.

There was a huge parking lot in the back, so parking wasn't an issue. They had indoor and outside seating.

Juicy savory pork skewers with sticky rice and green papaya salad. Everything was good! I really wanted to try the dish that said it was Thai hot and no refunds, but I was overruled lol. I'd go here again in a heartbeat

We were not impressed. I ordered them crispy style, they were not. The wrappers were like a firm ravioli texture, and the filling was a rather dense & chewy sausage. I had the Mu Yang, which is noted to be the dish Guy Fieri from DDD had. Received 3 good sized skewers of grilled pork, a nice portion of sweet sticky rice, and papaya salad, a green sauce was provided for dipping. This was delicious! I ordered level 2 spicy, there was room for more Thai flavor. Thai iced tea was fine, server was very good, sound level was awfully loud, due to low, hard ceiling. I would return, everyone enjoyed their lunch specials which are a good value.

The atmosphere is relaxed and the service is amazing. Our food came out in record time, but was still hot and tasted of high quality! I recommend coming during their lunch times, I came on a Sunday and they still offered their lunch menu. The lunch menu plates are huge! They come with your entree, soup, chow mein, rice, a crab ragoon, and an egg roll. I ordered the Kung Pao Shrimp and it was delicious. It had a slight kick, bit it wasn't too spicy. The shrimp was cooker perfectly, mot rubbery. My favorite was the egg drop soup, it had tofu in it and it was addictive. I definitely recommend checking George and Sons out!

This is my second visit to George and Son's to meet up and catch up with friends. The last time,…read moreabout a year ago, we had a lovely time. The food here is good. Nothing to jump up and down about. We wanted to come back because the atmosphere was laid back and relaxing. This visit, we felt rushed. It was 5:00 on a Saturday! Everything was rushed: place your order! (We need a few minutes please); you ready now? (Sigh. Sure.). We ordered mongolean beef, veggie egg foo yung, and shrimp with walnuts. The shrimp was excellent. Very early in our meal they were persistent in clearing our table. (we're still working on that); when they picked up the last few plates plates the server had our check in her hand. By golly she wanted us out of there! (Um, we kinda wanted another glass of wine...). Why? The place wasn't packed. Why the rush? The food is fine, as I mentioned, but the vibe was off for us. I "might" understand wanting to turn our booth if there was a wait for tables, but that was not the case. Will we return? Maybe for lunch or for something to go. The food is decent here and their hot mustard is delightfully potent.

Located in the Asian District of Mesa, Asian Cafe Express is a true dive in a strip mall next to…read moreH-Mart. They were highlighted in the Phoenix Magazine years ago. For years I have driven 25 minutes for takeout and never regretted it. High decor -No, limited selections -No, quiet -No, great food -Absolutely, incredibly friendly and pleasant staff -100%. Our typical order is a large General Chicken with extra sauce and Malaysian fun chow. The general chicken is perfectly breaded, deliciously flavored, slight bite and an uncious taste making you want more. The Malaysian fun chow has wok fried wide rice noodles with a hint of char, shrimp, bean sprouts,onions, veggies and a light but savory taste. Another home run! Don't let the exterior or inside decor persuade your judgement. Hands down the staff is second to none and the food is fabulous. Asian Cafe Express is an incredible value for the food quality and portion size. Trust me, if you give them a shot, you will also be ordering here for years. To the staff, fabulous job and thanks!

A Mesa Asian District Gem Worth Seeking Out…read more Asian Cafe Express is a lovely strip mall gem near H-Mart in Mesa's Asian District, and after 21 years in business, it clearly has a loyal following for good reason. We brought in a fresh lobster from H-Mart to try their "bring your own seafood" cooking option and chose the garlic onion stir fry preparation. It's $14.99 for anything under 2 lbs and $7.50/lbs for anything over. It came out excellent, served over crispy egg noodles with classic Asian flavors and plenty of wok-fired goodness. We also enjoyed the Peking pork ribs, which were deboned, tasty, and slightly sweet; the stir-fried green beans, which were fresh and well prepared; and the garlic spicy chicken wings, which were especially flavorful and highly recommended. The red bean drinks were traditional and satisfying, with soft, nicely soaked mung beans and no milk. Service was friendly, efficient, and personal, handled by a couple of ladies who clearly know the restaurant and their customers well. While we were there, plenty of regulars came in for takeout and several tables were happily dining in. Overall, we really enjoyed Asian Cafe Express and were surprised we had not stopped in sooner. Highly recommend, especially for the "bring your own seafood" cooking option and the garlic spicy wings. We will definitely be back.

Ling & Louie's have been my favorite Asian fusion go-to for at least a decade…read more I frequently meet up with friends or bring out-of-towners here to experience their awesome menu. I drive from Arrowhead to their North Scottsdale location, and for me, the trip is worth it. (I wish they would open an Arrowhead location though.) Their orange chicken is the best in the Valley as far as I'm concerned with decent portions. Just excellent. The New Wave Pad Thai is another favorite that never disappoints. Their menu has a wide variety and lunch/dinner is turned out to you in 15 minutes, tops. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the staff is attentive without being interruptive as you enjoy dinner. Nice semi-enclosed patio for evenings and our rare cooler days. Excellent place.

The ahi was completely dried out and had the texture of ahi jerky. The rice was undercooked. The gyoza was cooked on one side and raw on the other. Service was also very mediocre. Overall, this was an extremely disappointing meal and absolutely not worth the price.

Been coming here for 20 years, seen it changed a bit but overall still very good…read more We ordered 4 items to go on a Sat., their lunches used to include a salad and eggroll; no longer. $13 for chicken entrees and nice portion sizes. However, not as flavorful as it used to be. Thai Basil chicken was really bland, and the sweet/sour and orange chk dishes for my folks had TOO MUCH breading. The only 'great' dish was the kung pao which WAS actually spicy and flavorful. It's super busy, prob. because it's the only nicer Chinese restaurant in the immediate 5 mile radius (no, I do not consider Pei Wei or Panda Express to be Chinese restaurants) and if you've only recently started going, you don't have their past awesome food to compare it to. But it's still decent and convenient.

Ordered the pork and chives dumplings, XLB, and Beef chow fun. Service was expedient and waters were already preset on the table. There was a QR code on the table that allowed you to order online or if you waited a few more minutes, server will come over and take your order. All of our food came fast... within about 10-15 min. Chow fun had the wok hay ( wok air that makes food taste good) and thick slices of velveted beef slices. Pork and chive dumpling and XLB were juicy and moist and delicious with the ginger black vinegar chili oil sauce. I really like the food here and staff moves fast. Great place for a quick lunch.

It fades, so the dipping sauce was nice to have with it. The Xiao Long Bao were the winners of thee meal and would be why I go back. Easy to eat and tasty. I only wish the soup inside was a bit hotter. The Chicken Sheng Jian Bao was good, but the breading a little thicker than I personally like. This felt more like a dessert with the sesame bottom. Good taste, just heavy. Felt like we were rushed a bit and we're asked several times if we were done. There were empty tables, so that knocked it from the higher 3.5 side to the lower. Yelp is a flat star rating.

2/22/26: I've been going to Phoenix Palace for years, I can't believe I never reviewed it before…read more Damn. I've only ever partaken of their dim sum menu, and it is absolutely delicious. I've very picky about my food, but my sweet tooth loves their egg & custard tarts, their mochi w/ peanut, the rice porridge, the pineapple buns. Their rice noodles (pork, beef, shrimp) are great, as is the sticky rice, the steamed buns w/ BBQ beef, the spare ribs, spicy cucumbers. All of it is good. We usually have a crowd of four to six, sometimes more, when we visit so we always have a plethora of food on our table. The staff is always friendly and smiling, even if sometimes there's a language barrier. We point, they provide, and we always manage to have full bellies & great laughs at Phoenix Palace. This particular Saturday we had the opportunity (and surprise!) of enjoying a parade for Chinese New Year. Awesome!
