They got our food out surprisingly fast, and everyone was very kind. Place is kinda small but can seat groups for sure. We tried the sweet & sour pork, crispy shrimp, spicy beef turkey, and steamed buns. The sweet & sour pork was definitely the highlight! The crispy shrimp wasn't my favorite because the coating was a bit dry almost sandy for my taste, but I really appreciated the chance to try authentic regional Chinese dishes. Overall, a great experience, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

For two people, this is my go to order:…read more *Deep fried handmade tofu with special sauce (17.95) *Sautéed lamb with cumin (19.95) *Storm fish fillet (19.95) The lamb has enough of the "wetness" and vegetables to eat and mix with the rice. The lamb pieces used to be small but they are huge now! Appreciate the owners taking the feedback. I think they make the tofu in house. They are huge thick soft pieces with enough crispness on the outside. It's a good introduction to how seriously Chinese people take tofu and how in other countries they have a huge variety of tofu, vs the select few we have in the U.S. And I used to be partial to the spicy fried fish at cate zone, but chilispot has upgrade this dish a lot. It's perfectly crispy and hot!!! Even if you don't like fish, it's a great dish and also makes for great leftovers. I know the fried chicken is popular but I find the chicken pieces are too small. Even with two heavy eaters, we still have leftovers for another meal

We stopped at Chilispot for a family lunch and overall enjoyed our meal…read more The dumplings were a favorite at our table, while the spicy chicken was my personal standout. It was excellent and had just the right amount of heat. I also enjoyed the smoky ham fried rice, although it lacked the distinct smoky aroma I was expecting. Some of the other dishes didn't quite land for me. The fish soup wasn't my favorite, and the beef noodle soup wasn't especially memorable. The cumin lamb, however, was better than expected and ended up being one of the stronger dishes we ordered. That said, the service was friendly, the portions were generous, and there are plenty of interesting options on the menu. I'd definitely come back to try some different dishes next time.

Short drive from Olive Supermarket so we decided to pop in to satiate my dim sum craving. I found…read morethe prices to be fair but some of the items kind of bland. The tripe could've used more ginger and scallions and the leek dumpling needed more leek, but I found the spare ribs pretty flavorful. Portion sizes were great for the price. Came out to about $50 for 7 items. 3.75 but rounding up to 4

The lady came by with the carts before my companions arrived but I wanted to wait to get anything going, Greetings all around and we were ready! The Dim Sum cart came around and my Dim Sum companion who knows her way around the cart, chose our options, ordered some noodles and Chinese broccoli. We prepped our sauce for dipping; soy, red vinegar, hot mustard, chili oil, try it you'll like it. Some pork, some shrimp, noodles, broccoli, bbq pork, all so good! I don't ever know exactly what we get but I try it all and it is all good. The second cart that comes by, I kept putting off and then by the time I was ready I was too full to get more. I wanted the egg tart and the sesame balls but I just coudn't eat any more It helps to go with someone who knows what to get but if you don't have that option, just choose what looks good and it will be.

I promise it's worth it. Kitchen 95 is a Taiwanese restaurant located off of Page in Overland area. They used to be partners of Taike Shabu Shabu, the biggest Taiwanese restaurant in St Louis area back in the day so you know the food would be fire. My favorite is their fried boneless chicken leg, which would be offered for free if your order is over $50. It tastes almost the same as the one I had in Taiwan. It's crispy on the outside and super tender on the inside. Another dish that I love from here is the braised beef noodles soup. The broth was so flavorful and the meat was super soft. It's the best that I have had in the Stl area. Other dishes that I would recommend are the Hakka stir fried and the fish with black bean sauce but overall you can't really go wrong with anything. What amazes me is that all these amazing dishes were prepared by one person, who was also the owner. It's definitely hard work running this business for them so please be patient, and kind when leaving reviews.

Ordering was easy, just scan the QR code and choose from the menu. We got a few skewers and some main dishes, I was excited to see a few nostalgic childhood favorites like stir-fried tomato and egg, braised beef with potato, and sweet and sour pork ribs! The sweet & sour ribs were super delicious, they tasted just like how I remembered! That said, the portion size was a bit disappointing. For $19.99, there were maybe 8 or 9 pieces of small ribs, which felt a little overpriced. The tomato and egg dish was flavorful and perfect with rice, the braised beef was just okay, the meat was a bit on the chewier side. The skewers were fine too, nothing to write home about. We also got the Sichuan cold noodle, which I do not recommend, it was overloaded with numbing spice and the noodles were soggy. Overall, it was a decent experience with a handful of dishes I enjoyed! I'd probably come here for takeout pretty often if I lived in St. Louis.

He walked us through the menu, explained everything clearly, and gave spot-on recommendations. You can tell he really cares about the experience. Food: 8/10 It's kind of a hotpot concept, but on a smaller, more personal scale. Each noodle bowl came beautifully presented, with a boiling broth so you can cook your veggies and toppings yourself, plus a separate bowl of rice noodles. We ordered the tomato broth base (Lin's recommendation) and the mushroom broth. Both were great, but the tomato broth was WOW. I usually always get tomato broth for hotpot, and this one was by far the most flavorful I've had. There are different meat options and add-ons to choose from. We went with beef brisket this time, but I'll definitely try something different next visit. Portions were big for me, so I had leftovers to take home. I also had the fried popcorn chicken appetizer and it was juicy and flavorful too. Ambiance: The shop was clean and well-kept, and you can tell the staff puts in effort to maintain it. Just another great new spot to hang out with friends

We were seated right away but our waitress took a good amount of time to come to our table. It took us a long time to get our waters. I ordered the tomato flavor crossing the bridge noodle soup with beef slices, one of my kid ordered the chicken fried rice and my boyfriend ordered original flavor rice noodle soup with beef slices. We wanted to order two other food items on the menu but they said they do not have it. My boyfriend original flavor rice noodle soup with beef slices came out first. Then five more minutes my broth and side ingredients came. I did not get any rice noodle so we asked for the rice noodle which they brought. Then five more minutes my kid chicken fried rice came. I was waiting for her to get food before I mixed the ingredients I got in my broth. That was when we realized that I did not get the beef slices. We told the waitress who said she will check with the kitchen. She did not come back so I ate half the noodle soup without the beef slices that I ordered and am done. The manager - I assume make her round and we told her to make sure that they did not charge for the meat to my noodle since we never got it and the waitress did not come back to update us after she said she will check with the kitchen. We then wanted our check which did minus the beef that i did not get. The manager was nice and pleasant.

But we FINALLY got to try them and taste what the hype was all about. We shared some beef and some pork dumplings, and my husband also got the pork meal. The pork meal was meh, and we definitely didn't need it. I would stick to dumplings, and if you don't think it's enough food, get a third order. Both the pork and beef had very different flavor, but both were fantastic. Super fresh, you can see them making them in the back. Definitely look up a video on how to eat them correctly before you come here, because they are SO enjoyable. Definitely a comfort meal. My only complaint is prices seem pretty steep. I get it, inflation, but this is a pretty expensive meal for a couple dumplings. I love having a spot like this close and recommend everyone to at least try it! So unique, fun, and delicious.
