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!

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 spent over $50 on food, and the quality was extremely disappointing. The General Tso's chicken was basically nothing but breaded chicken pieces -- no vegetables and barely any sauce. The Orange Chicken was also dry and lacked sauce, making both dishes bland and unappetizing. To make matters worse, each entrée is supposed to come with rice, yet only a very small portion was provided. At this point, it feels like this restaurant is cutting corners and poorly managed. I'm generally not someone who leaves negative reviews, but the lack of care, consistency, and food quality is impossible to ignore. This was my last time giving this establishment my hard-earned money. I'd rather spend it somewhere that values its customers and takes pride in the food they serve.

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.

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.

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.

Had an amazing time dining at Vinsars Lounge! The ambiance is super chill but still feels upscale, and the staff made the whole experience even better. I asked for a recommendation and ended up trying the Honey Walnut Shrimp--honestly the best decision ever. It was perfectly crispy, slightly sweet, and just so flavorful. I'm still thinking about it! Got a chance to meet the owner, Vin, who was incredibly friendly and genuinely passionate about the food and the vibe they're creating here. As a sweet bonus, they gave me a 10% off coupon for my next visit--which I will definitely be using soon. Highly recommend this place whether you're a local or just passing through.

Stopped by Vinsars Lounge after Comic-Con and wow--what a great surprise! The place has such a cool, laid-back vibe with just the right energy. The food was on point--flavorful, fresh, and definitely not your typical bar fare. You can tell they're doing something creative here with the Asian fusion concept. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere just felt right--like the kind of place you want to keep coming back to. Whether you're grabbing a drink, having a bite, or just kicking back with friends, this spot checks all the boxes. Already planning to come back soon.

I recently ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala from Vinsar's Lounge and was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion--it was more than enough and absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and fusion, and you can tell the quality of ingredients is top-notch. While chatting with the owner, Vin, he mentioned they're planning to introduce a buffet system soon to help speed up service, especially for office-goers during lunch hours. I think that's a great idea and shows they really care about customer convenience. Looking forward to coming back and trying more, Ambiance looks cool. read more

Three people trying to do the same jobs at different times, and the same 3 people constantly coming to the table to see if we needed anything when all of our food wasn't even out yet My companion and I ordered our food at the same time. First came our soup which needed a little salt, but I would much rather have it like that than too salty. My companion ordered Mongolian beef lunch special. His came right away. However, mine came about 10 minutes later. ( in my experience if there's two people sitting at a table you bring their food out together and not 10 minutes apart) I ordered lunch special shrimp with snow peas and asked for it to be cooked with the white sauce. What I received instead was shrimp and peas in brown sauce. Even as they dropped it off I said this is wrong sauce although there were a lot of shrimp but the gentleman turned around and walked away. The woman came back out, and I flagged her down and told her. She looked at me and said do you want it with white sauce? And I said yes that's what I ordered. So she took it in the back and had them remake my meal. This a completely different meal came out. This was definitely moo guy Pan and not shrimp with snow peas on top of that there was only three shrimp. Now I personally have to really be in the mood for moo goo guy Pan. Because I don't like some of the vegetables that's in it. So that meal was an epic fail. I don't understand why canned soda is so expensive when they don't even give you a cup of ice to pour it into. And I don't understand why they brought my lunch special accoutrements eggroll, etc. separate from my guest. Normally, these things should be served at the beginning of the meal with the soup. But they really came at the end of the meal instead. And this young woman kept coming out and checking on us every four minutes or so. It got frustrating when I'm trying to have a conversation with my guest and she kept interrupting unnecessarily So in the end, I would say it might be worth going back to this place one more time to see if they can get their service corrected. And get a better flow of getting the food out at the appropriate times and in the appropriate order. I would make sure I have plenty of time to waste, because if they keep bringing out one dish at a time, it's silly that one person can be finishing up their meal when the other person is just getting theirs.
