We are here to answer your questions, accommodate your requests, and make your time at Chili Garden truly memorable.
The heart and soul of Chili Garden lie in our authentic Sichuan cuisine. Our experienced chefs, hailing from the Sichuan province, are masters of their craft, meticulously preparing each dish using traditional recipes and high-quality ingredients. Sichuan cuisine is renowned for its麻辣 (málà) flavor – the numbing spiciness derived from Sichuan peppercorns combined with the heat of chili peppers – as well as its complex layering of sweet, sour, savory, and smoky notes. At Chili Garden, we are committed to delivering these authentic flavors, using carefully sourced spices and fresh produce to create dishes that are both bold and nuanced.
Our menu showcases a wide array of classic Sichuan dishes, each with its own unique character and flavor profile. From the fiery and flavorful Mapo Tofu and the intensely aromatic Kung Pao Chicken to the mouth-numbing Dan Dan Noodles and the savory Twice-Cooked Pork (回锅肉 - Huíguōròu), our offerings are designed to excite your palate and introduce you to the diverse culinary landscape of Sichuan. For seafood lovers, we also feature Sichuan-style seafood preparations that incorporate the region's signature bold flavors. We understand that spice tolerance varies, and our menu often indicates the level of spiciness for each dish, allowing you to choose according to your preference. However, for those who truly appreciate the heat, we offer dishes that showcase the authentic fiery intensity that Sichuan cuisine is famous for.
Beyond our signature spicy dishes, our menu also includes a selection of milder options that still capture the essence of Sichuan flavors through different aromatic and savory combinations. This ensures that everyone, regardless of their spice preference, can find something delicious and satisfying at Chili Garden. We also offer a variety of appetizers, soups, and side dishes that complement our main courses, allowing you to create a well-rounded and flavorful meal.
To provide even greater value to our local community, Chili Garden frequently offers special promotions and seasonal dishes. We encourage you to check our website or follow us on social media for the latest updates on these exciting offers. Whether it's a discounted set menu for lunch, a special price on a featured dish during a particular season, or a limited-time offering celebrating a Chinese festival, we strive to provide opportunities for you to experience the authentic tastes of Sichuan cuisine at an exceptional value. Be sure to stay connected with us to take advantage of these special deals and explore new and exciting flavors from our kitchen.
While we believe our dedication to authentic flavors, welcoming ambiance, and attentive service speaks for itself, we also encourage you to explore feedback from other diners in our community.

We are committed to continuously improving and ensuring that every guest leaves our restaurant feeling satisfied and eager to return.

Customer Reviews
I can’t say enough good things about Chili Garden! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely wonderful. The service is outstanding—friendly, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. Even though we ordered takeout, the staff made us feel valued and appreciated, ensuring everything was packed perfectly and ready on time. The food itself was phenomenal. Every dish was bursting with authentic Chinese flavors, and the portions were incredibly generous. You could tell great care went into preparing each item. The quality and freshness truly stood out, and we all absolutely loved the food at our gathering! If you’re looking for delicious, authentic Chinese dishes with top-notch service, Chili Garden is the place to go. Highly recommended! (Pics show mainly the dishes from Chili Garden, but you’ll also spot a few of our potluck contributions 😆)
Food: very authentic traditional Chinese cuisines. Very suitable for big party, so you can enjoy more dishes at a time, esp other spicy fish we saw at the other table lol Service: not really responsive. The door was opened all the time, so at night time if there happen to be some heavy smokers, seats that are closer to the front will be smothered. Ambiance: big party recommended.
This is not your typical Sichuan- ChengDu food, it’s more close to Sichuan-ChongChing cuisine as many dishes are not just spicy, they’re numbing spicy! My hubby is an European and loves really really spicy. Their Spicy Fish with Green Numbing Peppercorns is his favorite! I myself can’t eat any spicy stuff, but I like their shrimp fried rice, a normal dish but is hardly done right in any restaurant. Recently we started coming for lunch specials, generous proportion at reasonable price. Our favorites are: braised beef brisket, double cooked pork, eggplants, etc, served a la carte. We found out it’s best to dine in for these lunch specials because if you order take out, the portion is smaller as they added some other small side dish. One time I took five friends from Finland and Denmark, and ordered all these spicy dishes for them. They actually loved every one of them, which I was surprised. Anyhow, the service has been better for us as the waiters now recognize us. But they usually are just average - not too bad and not too super good either. They sure can improve on that as the food really is worthy of going back again and again.
Outstanding food! They have a good variety of lunch specials. For a very reasonable price they provide very good quality lunch specials. Chili garden has a wide menu, with hotpots and a broad selection of seafood. The new location is smaller in size and could Slightly focus on improving the service as well . Always a go to place for lunch.
I love Sichuan food and had high hopes for this place. It ended up not being bad but was meh. The tofu in the ma po tofu was not at all tasty. The pricing is a bit high for what you get. Huge menu, which is usually a yellow flag.
