CHILI

I would highly recommend their food and cocktails. My friend and I had an amazingly delicious dinner though we greatly underestimated its portion sizes. My favorites were the spare ribs and spicy mushroom dish. The staff were very attentive, quick to give us spare utensils when we dropped it and swift with other accommodations despite the restaurant being packed. 10/10 recommend, would definitely come here again 🤗

Really great Szechuan food, but small portions. Really enjoyed the flavor of the spicy cumin lamb, but the lamb was in small bits and there wasn’t much meat. The fragrant fish fillet was also very good! Fish tasted amazing and had a great silky texture. Chungking spicy chicken was okay, nothing too special.

I’d definitely go back and would recommend to friends. We went as a large group but I think you could go with a small group as though but should definitely at family style. I didn’t find anything super spicy unless I ate straight pepper. The purple rice, fried rice, and sweet maybe gel potato noodles were less popular. The scallion pancake, beef pancake wrap, spicy chicken something, and lamb with onion were all very popular.

Overall a great dining experience! We ate mostly off the dim sum menu and everything was delicious. We had: Pork Soup Dumplings - amazingly delicious, savory, juicy dumpling served with a tangy vinegar & ginger sauce. Beef pancake wrap - savory flakey crust surrounding tinder juicy beef, with fresh scallions & cilantro. Dan Dan Noodles - spicy noodles with sesame paste& minced pork. My kids especially liked it but it does have a slight spicy kick but not strong. Beware this one is oily, it was crunched in oil, see my pictures. Pork Pot Stickers - these were very flavorful & cooked to perfection, nice juicy dumplings with a slight crunch in the bottom. Scallion Pancake - flakey & soft, flavorful with a tasty dipping sauce. Tasted like the wrap on the Beef pancake wrap. Egg Yolk Buns - steamed delicious soft black bread with a juicy combination of egg yolk, butter and sugar. Be careful how you eat this one or you’ll get the liquid hot insides squirting all over your evening frock 😆 *the above are all dim sum sized portions, small in size but big in flavor. We shared a chocolate mousse for dessert, which was chocolate creamy deliciousness covered in shaved chocolate but with a denser frozen white cream in the center. Not your traditional chocolate mousse center but still very delicious (see pictures). I had the “Misty Rain” cocktail, which is a mixture of flavorful gin, longing tea & pear syrup. It was a refreshingly delicious well balanced simple tasting, lightly sweet drink that I would recommend. Be aware though that it is not served in the style of glass pictured in their drink menu illustration. The picture shows it being served in a standard 8oz acopa cocktail glass, but it was actually served in a 4 oz tea cup. I would have preferred the glass they have pictured on their drink menu. Next time we’re going to try more of the main entree dishes from the menu. We saw others enjoying what looked like really delicious food. We headed to a music show & my kids wanted a lite meal and could not resist ordering all the dim sum dishes. Tips: we were a group of 3 and if you have less than 4 people you aren’t able to get a reservation after 4:30pm. So we ate at 4:30pm. It was a bit early, next time we’ll invite someone to join us & get a later reservation. The food was reasonably priced for the area. We paid $127.61 including tax & tip for the food & drinks I listed (see picture of receipt for more details). I would definitely recommend this place for your next meal. The service was prompt & on point, and the decor was 1930s China, a beautiful eclectic mix.

The beef soup is pretty good, but other dishes are okay. Service is okay. The food is a bit spicy. If you don’t have spicy very often, ask for less spicy.
