    So happy to see another California favorite making its way to the Valley! If you're looking for a spot that combines authentic Taiwanese comfort food with a fun night out, this is it. We had a blast singing our hearts out in one of their karaoke rooms. The Karaoke Experience: They have two private rooms that feel very intimate and cozy. The song selection is impressive--lots of "old school" hits and a great international variety. They even have disco lights (though we were having so much fun we forgot to turn them on!). Pro Tip: There is a $300 minimum spend for the room. While the bill adds up quickly, it's very reasonable if you're splitting it with a group of friends. The Food Highlights: Everything we ordered was a hit. You can tell they aren't cutting corners on flavor. Changhua Ba-Wan: This was the star of the show. It looks unique, but the taste and texture were absolutely delicious--a must-try! The Classics: The Popcorn Chicken and Fried Chicken Fillet Rice were perfectly crispy, and the Stinky Tofu hit that authentic funk just right. Seafood & Savory: The Oyster Omelette and Mixed Three-Cup Squid were packed with flavor. Comfort in a Bowl: The Braised Beef Tendon Noodle Soup had a rich, deep broth and tender meat. To Drink: Wash it all down with the Sour Plum Drink--it's the perfect palate cleanser for the savory dishes. The Verdict: Whether you're here for the Sichuan spicy wontons or just to belt out some tunes, you won't be disappointed. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

    Had an amazing karaoke night at Tofu King Phoenix. The food was fantastic, loved the Taiwanese dishes like oyster omelet, stinky tofu, and more. Karaoke was on point with songs in all kinds of languages and styles, from different eras to even kids' songs. Don't think it's just Chinese songs, the selection is huge! Prices were reasonable, the decorations were fun, and the staff was super friendly. Totally reminded me of Taiwan.

    This is a new restaurant serving delicious Taiwanese food. If you like stinky tofu, this is definitely the place to visit! All my Taiwanese friends agree that their stinky tofu tastes really authentic and flavorful. Service was good. Since it's a newer restaurant, they don't have everything set up yet--it's still missing some nice decorations, and it would be great if they had windows to brighten up the space. But overall, the food is excellent, and I'm excited to see how this place grows!

    1/2026- beef noodle tendon noodle soup
    Tzarina W.

    Yay for more Taiwanese food! If you're looking for something different than the usual Chinese foods you can find it here...especially stinky tofu- which I forgot to take a picture. Their Taiwanese root beer is different tasting compared to USA root beer. Taiwanese root beer tastes like medicine to me so try at your own risk lol! But it's a Taiwanese local favorite. Their apple juice soda was out so didn't get the try. Popcorn chicken was a slight crispy bite with chicken leg dark meat and always love the fried basil. The beef tendon noodle soup has a different Taiwanese taste. Tendon wasn't as soft as I would like it to be. Noodles are okay too. Taiwanese hot dog is made with intestines with sticky rice and Chinese sausage which is an interesting take for "hot dog." I loved the glutinous rice mound with the pork meatball inside and the sauce. Very reminiscent of Taiwan for some reason. Stinky tofu is an acquired taste and smell for anyone not familiar. Service was fast. They close at 2:30 don lunch and open back up at 5pm for dinner with a different menu. And I believe they also have 2 large sized karaoke rooms that you can rent out for each for around $400 for all you can drink including alcohol and for the whole day/ time you're there. I think it includes some foods too. They also have a karaoke microphone where you can sing in front of the crowd that's eating! Pretty cool! I didn't sing so maybe another time lol! Oh and there is no sign yet. Right now you can see the sign "Chinese restaurant." For a standalone restaurant.

    I was very excited to try this place, since it's rare to find a Taiwanese restaurant here. The service was great--very friendly and truly Taiwanese. However, the food was just okay and a bit pricey in my opinion. The flavors were fairly close to authentic Taiwanese cuisine, but overall it felt average and not particularly special. I left feeling a little disappointed.

    Drunk chicken
    Hsuan C.

    One of the worst dining experiences I've had. We came for dinner around 7 PM after a long trip from Page and were probably the last table of the night. We were really craving a good rice meal and hoped this newly opened restaurant would satisfy us. Unfortunately, it did not. The rice was barely warm and tasted like it had been sitting at room temperature for a while. When I politely asked if we could have warm rice (even offering for them to microwave it), the chef/owner came out to explain that reheating would make it dry. I suggested covering it with a lid, but nothing was done. We also asked for hot water and were told they didn't have any which was confusing for a restaurant that serves soup. We ordered several dishes, and none impressed us. The drunken chicken was bland, the salted fried chicken was dry, the basil lacked flavor, and the beef was overly dressed. They even used broccoli stems in the oyster omelet. To make things worse, someone was mopping the floor while we were still eating. As someone familiar with Taiwanese culture, I was especially disappointed. Taiwanese hospitality is usually very warm and welcoming, but we didn't feel that here at all. Overall, the food, environment, and service were all poor. This was a very unpleasant experience. You are one of the few Taiwanese restaurants in the area, so I hope you take this seriously and make an effort to improve especially for customers who expect quality and care.

    Taiwan Hot Dog & very BLAND Thick Squid Soup with Vermicelli

    Menu is limited, can't understand why all foods on the menu are not available all day. Super disappointing to be so limited. Went for lunch, all the portions were small except the Thick Squid Soup with Vermicelli which had absolutely no flavor. Understandable vermicelli is cheap so there was a big bowl of it but it was so disappointing it tasted like nothing. The changhua ba wan's sauce was delicious and the texture was impressive yet the inside meatball was extremely tiny. Best stinky tofu in the valley so far, not great but it is the best one I've had here. The broth from the beef tendon noodle soup was delicious!! Great broth, not much noodles and not much tendon but the tendon was very soft & tender. Best dish out of the 7 items ordered. Pork chop was bland & not crispy. I think they need to meet the vendors of Herculean Chicken and use their batter concoction! Only 1 person works there, not very friendly or accommodating. Saw her struggle with non Mandarin speaking customer. Will be difficult for those who don't speak Mandarin.

    Newest Taiwanese restaurant in town, but it's already mostly definitely the best in town as well. Food tasted absolutely amazing, raised the standards for their competitors for sure. Service was a bit slow, cuz the owners just started running it, so it'll take some time for them to settle and sort out this situation. Can tell interior decoration is in progress, but looking forward to seeing the end product. Food is worth every penny I spent. I will definitely be heading back in the near future!

    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.
