Excellent Chinese restaurant. We ordered a bunch of plates, and everything was good. The cumin beef was very spicy, which is great. The dumplings are tasty. Good portion sizes, perfect for sharing. Very efficient service, we got our food in a blink of an eye. Funky decor. It was really cold outside so they needed space heaters everywhere.

Good food. Good serving sizes for the price they ask. Aunthentic asian dishes indeed. What I didn't like- leaky packaging, the sauces spilled in the bag and the bag was ripped. It was messy. I Do like the Beef with Scallion and the Shu mai the most. Not a fan of the Pork Cumin Style. The sesame ball could use a little bit more fillings. Other than that I would order from them again in the future and try other dishes.

Om goodness!! The wait was soooo worth it! My favorite was the smoked duck. But all the dishes were amazing! The service was slow... like I said well worth it. People were flowing in. So u know the locals love it. The decor was amazing. From the roof and every wall. The tables were circular that we sat at, and it made for the ability to have lots of food.

Went here with friends two years ago and the food tasted great! But this time it's a little different. Maybe the dish I ordered was different and not too fresh. Our family of three all feels the same way!

I really liked the indoor atmosphere, it’s a small upgrade from regular Chinese takeout. The crab rangoon was very good, their beef is chewy and unswallowable

As soon as you walk in, the place smells amazing from all the food. There is not a lot of room to wait in the entryway, but we only waited about 15min even though the place was very busy. It took a little longer to order, but we were able to order everything at once. The food came out very quickly, but at a good pace of appetizers then entrees. There was even a cool robot roaming around delivering food! Everything was flavorful except the egg and spring rolls. They were crispy, but they were mushy inside and lacked flavor. My favorite was the sauce that came with pan fried dumplings. The Peking duck rolls were light and fluffy with a good contrast of crisp veggies inside with the duck. If you want spicy food, you can get it here, but they will alter the spice level to meet your tastes.

Lip numbing spice in all the good warm way for a cold Syracuse day. After a snow storm and Sunday with bright daylight. The restaurant inside has its own personality when it was remodeled a few years ago. With it's earthy wall fixtures and wall mural of an old Chinese restaurant. If your brave highly recommend pork kidneys and even frog. Portions are always for two or a little than that. If you want the next level Chinese food this is the place and always spicy.

Ok! 1st hot spot experience for us.. and I lowkey made a fool out of me.. but ya know.. so I over stuffed my simmer pot and it boiled over so they staff literally took over.. I felt like a child (but loved) the flavors were amazing! My wife got the cashew chicken and white rice and absolutely devoured it!!!!.. the slush we got were literally the best we have ever gotten!!! Be aware the simmer pots can get a little expensive each item added is $7-$9 but it's a healthy amount of food.

Our family reserved the "back room" for a private birthday party. Service was hit and miss, but the food was spot on. We do wish that they had more options for traditional alcoholic beverages. They only offered hot sake, instead of a range of traditional cold versions. And no Baiju, which would have made the meal sing. Aside from that, the food was well prepared, and the portions were excellent. we also love the table which allowed us share our meals with one another by simply rotating the glass "Lazy Susan" top. Overall, we were satisfied, but with a few tweaks, this could be a highlight of Syracuse world cuisine.

I love the cold beef tripe with red chili sauce. It's made me sweat before. I get it almost anytime I get anything else. It's cold so you just stick it in the fridge if you didn't finish it in one go. Make sure your stomach can handle hot. I had issues once in a while. Your body isn't the same everyday. But it's still my favorite dish here.

I've known of Red Chili for a long time and its solid reviews of the food offerings. I finally said to heck with it and go. As you walk in you can see a wall fountain with gold fish! Entering the restaurant is easy unless you are mobility impaired that would be difficult because of the stairs. There's a table the to go orders get placed on. The decorations were amazing! So many cool things to look at very very clean! Some tables with looks like cook tops I'm guessing for hot pot and plenty of regular seats. The menu has so many options! We ordered several dim sum options. The egg custard buns stole the show! We ordered chive and shrimp pan fried dumplings they were outstanding! We ordered soup dumplings also very good, sesame chicken and house special lo mein. Food came out very fast and all at once! Throughly enjoyed the meal with lots of leftovers!

I've been to Red Chili a handful of times since moving to Syracuse. It's good, but I think pricier than what Chinese food should be or the Chinese food I have had in the past. This is why I typically go at lunch... A friend wanted to meet here for dinner so I got something not on the lunch menu. It was about $20 for the entree and was very good. I asked for it extra spicy and there sure were a lot of chilis! Service was more attentive than it has been at lunchtime. It's always pretty busy with good people watching! If you went with a group that is into sharing (which is how Chinese food typically is served...) you could probably split an entree and a few appetizers to try things out and perhaps be a bit more economical.

We were back from from our Canadian trip! We didn't feel to have a big dinner, but we decided to stop by this Chinese restaurant for some appetizers! Their decorations were very authentic with so many lanterns! Their staffs were so nice and friendly! They didn't criticize when we didn't order big meals like others. Moreover, their menu is full of so many tasty dishes! If I get another chance back to Syracuse, I will definitely visit the place again!

One of the best restaurants in the area! The amazing thing is how they put out so much delicious food, so quickly! One highlight, They have a cute robot to bring your food Plenty of parking in the lot of this restaurant, and takeout is speedy! Every time I go here I get these three staples: Pork Soupy Style Dry Pot Dim sums

I currently live in the Binghamton area, so I was familiar with their second location in Vestal and wanted to see the original. The exterior of the place looks kind of run-down, but the moment you step inside you get a shock of how gorgeous the interior ambiance is. So please, don't let that stop you from trying this place! I have tried many of their dishes, such as the Cold Sesame Noodles, Soup Dumplings, Spicy Crispy Style Fish, Cumin Style Chicken, and Dried Sautéed String Beans that I get again and again. But I'd also like to offer some unique options of my own you might not have considered. The Fermented Cabbage & Fish Soup. My family was hesitant at first, but it turned out to be one of the best soups I've ever had. It definitely has that little fermented sour kick to it, but it was so flavorful and delicious with fish that melts in your mouth. The Sauteed Squid with Pickled Red Hot Pepper. I love squid dishes in general (ojingeo-bokkeum is my fave Korean dish, for example) and this one is incredible. The sourness of the pickled peppers mixes so well with the spicy sauce. If you're hesitant to try Szechuan food, any of the "classic Chinese" dishes you'd see at an Americanized Chinese place are winners. All of them are such good quality, especially the Beef with Broccoli. You can't really go wrong, but I would definitely recommend trying the Szechuan food because it's amazing. If you're unfamilar with the cuisine, just note that some dishes like Mapo Tofu have Szechuan peppercorns, which have a numbing-spicy effect, so when they ask how "spicy" you want the dish, that's what they mean. It's completely different than what most Americans recognize as "spicy" so it might be worth going mild for your first try. Some things do seem a little different here from my home Red Chili in Vestal, but they're both great and I will keep coming back again and again!

I love this place!!! Everything ive tried is delicious, but my favorite is the deep fried intestine! Its served mixed with chopped red chilis and green onions. It's been seasoned to perfection and you can pick how spicy you want it. In the past the quantity was getting a little chintzy but they've stepped up their game and corrected that and i have no complaints.

The appreciation for Chinese cuisine is shared by many, with its rich flavors and diverse dishes that have evolved over centuries. Known for its balance of taste, texture, and aroma, the Chinese food here offers an array of regional specialties that reflect the vast cultural landscape of China. From the spicy kick of Sichuan peppercorns to the delicate sweetness of Cantonese dim sum, there's a dish to satisfy every palate. The attentive service enhances the dining experience, ensuring that each guest's preferences are met with care. The ambiance of a restaurant plays a crucial role too, creating an inviting atmosphere that complements the culinary journey. With ample seating, such establishments are well-suited for gatherings, making them a popular choice for friends who wish to indulge in the communal aspect of dining. This shared enjoyment of food not only satisfies the appetite but also fosters connections, turning a simple meal into a memorable occasion. Indeed, the allure of Chinese cuisine lies not just in its flavors but also in the experiences it curates.

After living for a decade in China (Shanghai) we have been searching for authentic cuisine - and wow, Red Chili is fabulous! The vegetables are spot on, and if you like spicy, just tell them and they'll serve it at the intense heat we love. Highly highly recommend. Good size portions too!

Smart R.

Yelp
An enormous menu of delicious food, and a robot waiter to boot! I have never been to china, but friends who have (some of whom are originally from there) tell me it is very authentic as well. That's not a big thing for me (if it's delicious and not authentic I tend to focus on the "delicious" part of the experience) but if it is important for you, they are the real deal. How you can do a menu that huge and still have everything taste different from each other is a mystery to me but they pull it off. Fast, polite service, and the super convenient checks one finds at Asian restaurants (check a box and sign). If it was closer to me I'd have worked through more of the menu by now but the dozen or so things I've tried have all been delicious and generous portions. As for ambiance, one of their wait staff is a robot, have I mentioned that?

TL;DR: Amazing food. We have been back 20+ times at this restaurant. Highly recommended ***Ambiance*** Family-friendly location with large seating space. The seating location was clean and the tables were well-separated. Majority of the tables were booths with options for seating 4 or 6 people. They also had a few round tables for circular tables. They have special tables with buit-in heater if you are ordering hot-oil pot. ***Staff*** The staff is extremely friendly. We have been going there for 3 years now, averaging 2 vists per month, and we have always found the staff to be super friendly and couteous. Unlike other places, all servers work all tables on the floor. That means that you don't have to wait for the server who took your initial order to make subsequent requests. ***Drinks*** They have very limited selection in terms of alcoholic drinks. Five different types of bottled beers (Corona, Blue Moon, Heineken, Tsingtao, and I forgot the last one) and nothing on tap. Wine by the glass, one red, one white. Very recently, they have introduced Sake to their menu. I haven't tried it yet, and I don't plan to either. ***Food*** The food is amazing here and since it opening, we have stopped attempting to make Chinese food at home. Their soupy style chicken is an all-time favorite with us and holds the record of being ordered every single time we have eaten their. Chicken kung pao, special dry pot, cumin chicken, and shredded lamb and some of our other favorites. Overall, this is a wonderful family-friendly restaurant. Good authentic chinese food. Would highly recommend.

In A Nutshell: -Red Chili is right next door to Lucky Foot Spa. -You can come here after you get a foot massage or vice versa. -I am pretty impressed w/ the depth of the Chinese cuisine here. -You can order XLB soup dumplings & even roasted duck. -Their baby bokchoy stir fry is very good. Overall, normally in small towns like this you don't get good Chinese food, but you will find 100% authentic cuisine here.

Red Chili for another great meal. While I normally would have ordered a different appetizer, I was glad I tried their wonton soup. I can't remember when I've had such a flavorful broth! I love Mapo Tofu, soft ,silky tofu in a spicy red sauce. It is normally very spicy, but I asked if it could be made milder, and it was perfect. Just a touch salty today, but the perfect white rice took care of that. Service was quick and efficient, and I love the Robot server!

We had some dim sum Sunday brunch here. It was a great choice. We had some pork buns, shumai, Peking duck bun shrimp rolls. It was all really good and authentic. There we a lot of food would love to try from from Szechuan food and hot pot. Indoor dining only with a good size parking space Staff were nice and does explain for items if you need . Overall love the food and service given !

Don't let the exterior of this place fool you. Red Chili is the best Asian cuisine in the area, in my opinion. Sadly I have never eaten in the restaurant, but I have plans to soon! I want to try their hot pots and steamed buns! For our recent takeout order, we ordered diced chicken with pepper and dried chili, orange chicken, wonton in chili sauce and spring rolls. My husband LOVES spicy, so the chili pepper chicken was perfect for him (I'm a wimp when it comes to spicy). My orange chicken had good flavor and the spring rolls were very crispy, even after sitting in the bag for the drive home. I think the wontons would have been better if we ate at the restaurant, but overall they were good. The portions are large and gave us enough for lunch the next day.

Eat in, don't order takeout from here. Every time I've eaten in the food has been great. The atmosphere there is really fun to be in and I have nothing bad to say about the service. However, the food is always subpar when I order takeout. Today was especially sad. The taro milk tea I ordered today had gelatinous goop at the bottom as opposed to boba pearls, I was not expecting this and gaged. They texture was awful. The stir fried baby bok choy was decent, definitely my go-to vegetable. The diced chicken with pepper & dried chili in Chongqing style was somewhat soggy and had several chewy overcooked pieces. This is my favorite chicken dish and it is so much better when you eat in, I was expecting some sogginess from sitting in the container, just not the overcooked pieces

I was quite surprised to find this authentic Chinese restaurant is Syracuse and very happy to have ordered some home-style dishes. The moment I walked into the redressent, the decoration made me think of the restaurants back in some small cities in China. The northern Chinese food and the spicy Szechuan food, like the spicy noodle and sliced potato in the sour sauce, were done in the right way with an authentic flavor brought out. The dim sum though, were not very good and tasted like the ones sold in the supermarket. I would interpret it as the chefs maybe mostly coming from the northern or central parts of China. If you are looking for the American Chinese food for someone in the group, it also has a wide choice. In general, pretty awesome restaurant in Syracuse (and maybe one of the best Chinese food you can find). They also have hotpot which can be really attractive during winter time.

Red Chili is our favorite place for takeout or sit in authentic Chinese food! They have never disappointed us. This was our first time trying their Hotpot menu. We got seated immediately and were served some complimentary green tea. They have a good variety of broths and toppings on their menu. We got half of house original and szechuan spicy broth and a good mix of veggies/noodles and protein. They have a station for making your own sauce with lot of options. The broths were super flavorful with lots of spices. I am glad we got the broth combo because they balanced each other well. The meats were fresh and high quality. The hotpot also includes one complimentary item from dimsum menu. We got Xiao Long Bao. This along with peking duck bun was delicious. Some of our favorites from their menu. It was reasonably priced for the quality they offered. Our server was friendly and got our order out fast! I would recommend Red Chili to anyone looking for good Chinese food.

Yelp
Authentic place in Syracuse. Had hotpot here with a large group the last time. I will say everything seems to be made correctly here and service is good. They also have a sauce bar to make your own sauces just like other hot pot places which is good. A solid go-to for Szechuan food.

Food was good. Quick service. Server robot is interesting. Servers were all preoccupied and paid no attention to us, seemed unhappy to be there.

I have been wanting to try this place and I opted to come for lunch with a coworker. The ambiance inside is nothing like you would expect compared to the exterior and this being off the Boulevard. Inside is clean and decorative. The one complaint I have from this experience is the wait staff were pushy for us to order. As my coworker and I were chatting we were asked 3 times to order. We went with the lunch specials, I got the spring roll and General Tsos chicken with white rice. I expected more heat to the dish but overall it was good and a perfect portion. My coworker got the sesame chicken and wonton soup, the sauces were quite similar in taste and appearance but still delicious. I would come back and probably do take out other times! $22.00 for both of us together which was extremely cheap. The robotic system that delivers your food is also super cool!

Talitha F.

Yelp
Mango slush with tapioca boba is always a win in my book especially here. I specifically come here just for the mango slush and general Taos chicken. It was my first time getting the wonton soup and it was phenomenal. I've had hot pot here a few times which is also very good to get you can make your own sauce at the sauce bar which is great when your cooking the meats. But overall it's a good experience eating here.

Great atmosphere, great service, great food. Can't wait to try more! The Cumin-Style Beef was very spicy and I loved the veggies stir fried with it. The Soupy-Style Beef was packed with flavor, lots of cabbage to off-set just enough of the heat. Spicy Vermicelli w Pork Mince and Bok Choy was an incredible noodle dish - so much going on in that one.

Had take out. insanely OVERPRICED. wont be back. food was alright, but this place is all about the SHOW-not the food.

Yelp
This place is my new favorite go-to in Syracuse. Erie blvd doesn't enable the type of walk-around city feel that is common in other cities but this food is well worth the drive. Just make sure you don't eat too much so you can drive home. We ordered a plethora of items off the menu and every single item was absolutely amazing. The ambience of this spot is not comparable. Real plants everywhere. Authentic food. Authentic people.

Favorite place to order from for a night in. The food is always delicious and good sized portions. When ordering to-go or eating at the restaurant service is always speedy and convenient.

this place is a gem in the binghamton area!! this place opened up after the restaurant before it was a sushi restaurant. i wish i was here longer in bing to go this restaurant more but sadly it opened up in my last year at Binghamton. ive been here twice and the sizzling hot plate is my go to. ive ordered the sizzling chicken hot plate and it is worth !!! the dried rice crackers definitely breaks up the texture of the chicken and veggies, and i can't get enough of the sauce! i also ordered their duck baos but id skip those as there isn't enough duck sadly and for the price of each its better to get another entree. the portions here are bigger than average so i would definitely recommend ordering a couple of entrees and splitting it with the table! the service is fast from getting seated to ordering even though this place can get pretty busy that there's about a 10-15min wait some days. for those bigger events like graduation, i would definitely try to call ahead and make a reservation for this place as the wait can be loong. when they give you the check instead of a fortune cookie they give you a yakult drink which is a nice sweet touch to the ending of the meal. overall, go to the place if you're in bing for some tasty szechuan food that's near campus!!

Danielle S.

Yelp
The place doesn't look like much from the outside but don't let that fool you, there is some amazing authentic food inside. I had only ever ordered take out from here, but the experience of eating inside was so much better. The sound of the waterfall coming in, the nice greeting at the door and the extremely nice wait staff was just what I needed in a restaurant experience. There is such a vast menu here, you could be full in minutes which is what happened to me! All the food came out hot and delicious. If you are scared of spice, you can always ask how spicy a dish is normally prepared and see if it can be lowered. Must try for authentic Chinese food.

Wendy K.

Yelp
Oh my goodness this is good stuff. What a find and we ate it too fast and didn't take pictures. Ugh! I had the stir fried mixed veggies minus the baby corn (I'm just not a fan) with steamed rice. Other than adding a packet of soy sauce it was perfectly seasoned and the portion was generous. My boyfriend got the sweet & sour chicken. His serving was consumed immediately. We also got 2 orders of fried spring rolls. Not good. Almost nothing on the inside and very greasy. I won't get them again. The place was packed for a Sunday mid-afternoon. Hard to find parking in the small lot. My guess is others have found this establishment already and keep coming back. I will, too!

Honest A.

Yelp
Those seeking the best here in Syracuse should go to Red Chili. Their pots are even good for take out. Don't bother with our typical General Tso and Orange Chicken dishes, try more authentic recipes. Erie boulevard is ridiculous packed with good food. This should be on everyone's list when they head to that area.

Cyndi H.

Yelp
I wasn't wowed at lunch. Would have liked more seasoning on the food and my dish was labeled spicy but barely had flavor. Service was courteous and robot brings the food which server transfers to the table, but then both disappear without returning to ask how everything is or to be sure nothing else is needed. We were early and first table at lunch with only 4 other tables when we left. Will keep this short and leave further comment for return visit possibly at dinner.

Food was very authentic with lots of Sichuan pepper corn flavor. I couldn't get enough, ended up overeating, and still had leftovers!

Went there for a Friday lunch. Nice place with lots of plants inside. The service was fast and there are lots of great options in the menu. You can get traditional Chinese food and also Szechuan. We ordered a lunch special and a soup. Everything was tasty.

Thomas C.

Yelp
Red Chili is one of the more interesting restaurants in Syracuse, as while they offer the typical American Chinese food style offerings we are used to, they are one of the few restaurants in CNY that also offer more authentic Chinese dishes, such as Szechuan hot pot dinners - a Chinese version of fondue that is completely customizable - and dishes using organ meats and other animal parts that some American diners may consider odd, such as duck heads and blood curd. My wife and I first tried Red Chili during the height of the pandemic, and just grabbed some typical Chinese food type offerings from them to bring home - Sesame chicken, pork lo mean, egg rolls, crab rangoon. While these are dishes you can find at really any Chinese restaurant in the area, Red Chili's is definitely of higher quality. Better cuts of meat, the egg rolls were tastier, and they have some of the best rangoon in the city. We recently tried Red Chili again, and while we again got usual offerings like orange chicken and egg rolls, we also tried their Dan Dan noodles to try something different. The noodles were absolutely delicious. Housemade noodles and a wonderfully spicy sauce that'll make your nose run, but won't make your head explode as long as you have some sort of spicy tolerance. It's the kinda spice that only enhances the flavors, not overwhelms you, and we really enjoyed them. Although they absolutely have dishes with spice levels that'll knock your head off, if you're into that sorta thing. The employees are always friendly, prices are fair and refurbishment of the interior of what used to be El Canelo has made for a comfortable, nicely decorated area. We'll absolutely continue supporting them.

I'm always looking for a good Chinese place and with the ratings on Yelp I had to try this place. They have a lunch menu that is very reasonable so I tried the Kung Pao Chicken which was noted as spicy which I like. It came with either soup or egg roll and I choose the egg roll. My friends also ordered from the lunch menu. I was surprised to see a robot roll out our lunches to the table!!! The server had to take it off the robot tray but it was neat. My lunch was a generous portion and had a little kick but not too much! It was just right and tasty. The egg roll was hot and tasted fresh. Altogether a very nice lunch and so reasonable! The lunch with tip was 13.00 (can't beat that). I will be back for sure.

Beautiful set up, always fresh and authentic food. Love their Lo Mein. The shrimps are small wish it was larger sizes but the seasoning is perfect. The scallion pancakes, curry dish, fried rice and cucumbers in garlic sauce all delicious.. Their decor is beautiful as well!

We had the hotpot here and it's a la carte. I definitely enjoyed the tofu skin they brought out and the meat! We definitely want to try the dishes other tables we're ordering next time!

I can't say enough good things about this place! The atmosphere is amazing! It's very modern yet authentic. There's a little robot that delivers food to tables and to go orders, it's honestly one of the coolest features I've seen in this area. They have a variety of menu options. Seriously something for everyone. I tried hotpot for the first time. It was definitely an experience haha I wish they explained it a bit more to me but I think I got the hang of it. I've been here a few times, one of my favorite Chinese food / Szechuan places. They even have a karaoke room!

I loved this place for lunch: great food, quick service, and nice ambiance with decor, plants, comfortable seating, and robot delivery?!

Laura S.

Yelp
Delicious authentic, Chinese food. Do not go here to get general tso. Do not go here for American Chinese. You will be disappointed and miss out on the food that is actually good. I have been here a handful of times over the last decade and I am astounded at how much this place has evolved. It's so beautiful inside! I remember it being dark and a bit boring but now it has a ton of Chinese themed decorations and it feels like you have been transported to another country! My most recent experience was wonderful. They have quite the sizable menu to begin with plus a whole other page of dim sum. I came here with my family and we ordered a bunch of stuff to include crab rangoons and soup dumplings. They were both amazing. The soup dumplings lacked much broth, but even as a standalone dumpling, it was out of this world. I always order the same thing: soupy beef. It's a chili oil sauce with meat and vegetables. Quite spicy but so good. And, it's just that, soupy. A little heavy on the oil, but the flavor is spot on. The beef is super tender and I love the al dente bok choy and veggies. One of these days I am going to try something new, the hot pot always looks amazing, but this dish always hits the spot. The service has never been great, but that's something I find less important these days. Overall, I am quite impressed by how authenticate and delicious everything was. I would certainly be back.

Yelp
The food is hands down the best Chinese in Syracuse. The service is quick, correct, and they have fun robots that bring the food to your table. The wait staff still take the food off the robot but it's quite fun! The ambiance is fantastic as it has traditional Chinese emblems and designs all over. Delicious food in a great atmosphere. I highly recommend!

We requested our friend to bring food from Red chili when he is in Syracuse. He did, such a dear dear boy. We ate to our heart's content. The fish fillet in spicy bean curd hits the spice spot so hard. The sichuan peppers tingle and dance on our taste buds. It is spicy and I know the morning after will be pretty harsh on my system but I do not regret anything. The beef is also so delicious. The quantities are great and enough to relish the next day too. The taste of their dishes are just impeccable and sometimes even though I want to try out new items from the menu, we keep coming back to our old favourites. Try it! They are simply the best!

Sandy J.

Yelp
Deliciously oily Chinese Szechuan food in a upscale banquet hall disguised as a flimsy yellow tent like exterior tucked next to a massage parlor is my impression when I had to remember this place. Excellent service and they scan your forehead for temps when you come in. Very unassuming place that had me wary at first but when I went in I was impressed by their decor; not gaudy gold/red that most Chinese banquet halls do, but rather a colorful tea house/wooden lantern place. Dishes are definitely authentic; maybe some American fusion options to cater to broader tastes but you won't be disappointed with the true options. We ordered the clay pot and eggplant dish; both were enormous for the 2 of us. Clay pot had these fun rice crisps that absorbed the oily savory sauces. Garlic Eggplant dish was the typical spicy garlic sauce with the corn starch that adds the thickening needed to go with your yummy white rice. This is clearly a place for celebrations and nice meals. Price range is 15$ for dishes; not your typical hole in the wall Chinese joint but the dishes match its quality compared to some places that charge upwards but dishes taste dressed up American Chinese fusion. We were the only ones in the restaurant, so staff was extremely attentive.

Ordered the fermented cabbage and fish soup, dan dan noodles, and sesame balls for delivery. It was way too much food for one person, but that didn't stop me from eating almost all of it! The fish soup was somehow light and rich at the same time. The broth was delicious, and I appreciated the mix of crunchy and stewed pieces of cabbage. The dan dan noodles had that flavorful spicy I crave. Everything held up in delivery, too.

I ate dinner at Red Chili with two of my friends, and it was very nice. We ordered the Chicken Fried Rice, Steamed Pork Dumplings, String Green Beans, General Tso's Chicken, and Pork Soup Dumplings and shared them among us. The food came by quickly, and the staff was very friendly. I recommend this restaurant for a relaxed and fun meal.

The food was amazing, went with some friends and they thought the food was also amazing. I ordered the Garlic Sauce chicken, and it was well flavored. The service was fine, since it wasn't super busy when we arrived. They have a nice selection on their menu. Would highly recommend.
