Red Chilli House 川湘园

We recently had a family lunch gathering for the first time by recommendation of a friend. The server was either stressed or irritated. We tried to make the best of the situation by being thankful and appreciative. We asked for recommendations and she seemed genuinely uninterested in helping. So, we ordered some common American Chinese food, Orange. Gen Tso, Kung Pao. As well as some noodles and a Beef in chili oil "soup". The flavors of the Orange and Tso were pretty identical with the exception of orange peel. The Kung Pao was almost inedible due to the HUGE blocks of ginger. Everything in this plate's flavors were indistinguishable due to the excess amount of ginger: no finesse here. The noodles were well made, tasted decent. Also the hot and sour soup did not disappoint. Finally the Beef in chili oil (soup) was the worst flavor I have ever experienced, the flavor was so overpowering that nothing else could be tasted. I tried to pull out some slices of beef and cabbage but it was inedible. The amount of chili oil was way too much to be enjoyed. It was so bad that my tongue (and stomach) tingled. The beef was rubbery and the broth was absolutely sour. Prices are medium high. I'm sorry to say that due to the low customer service and poor quality of the food this is a 2 ⭐ review.

Had a craving for peppercorn and this place scratched that itch. The wontons in chili oil are delicious and flavorful, but I really like the spicy chicken. It was loaded with chilis and peppercorn and delivered that numbing sensation I was looking for. Delicious and wonderfully spicy.

Absolutely fantastic! Most authentic Chinese food we have had with quality matching Northern China Eatery in Atlanta GA and a favorite northern Chinese place that we used to eat at when we lived in Vietnam. The crispy chicken and potatoes were a delight and the wontons are 100% homemade with homemade rice noodle dough. Our dishes were spicy and wonderful. I only wish the prices were slightly less so we could eat there more often, but the quality is a 10 and the price is worth it. Gotta get another side gig so I can eat here more often. We cannot wait to go back! This is in the top 10 of any restaurant we have ever eaten at! We taught English abroad and cook most of our own meals. If you want to be wowed, this is the place!

Highly recommend the wontons in Chile oil, buns, and garlic pork. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu. 10/10 without a doubt.

Recommend by a friend, Major disappointment environment was clean, food was okay , Menu selection was not appealing. Prices outrageous for Chinese food what we paid for 2 adults and 2 children we could have went to PF Changs and received better service and better quality food. Paper menu shows children menu with no certain time frame server said that price is only for take out. They said servings are shareable portion not even close. Didn’t even get an egg roll or a fortune cookie at the end of our meal just an automatic 20% tip charge definitely would not be going back to that restaurant would rather take the drive to Heaven Dragon or even Panda. You’ve been warned🚫🚫

Amazing tastes and wonderful service! The lamb was the best lamb I’ve ever had in the states among Chinese restaurants. The owner introduced several popular and authentic dishes that tasted extraordinary. This restaurant would be quite competitive even in large cities like Chicago!

Small place tucked into the shopping center. So glad we decided to try it. The food was delicious! Best shrimp rice noodles I've had. Flavorful and light. Delicious orange chicken. My husband enjoyed the Happy Family plate. Good selection of appetizers. We will be back or get take out for sure.

Very welcoming place, the aroma of the food being cooked reminds you how tasty and delicious other cultures food can be. The species were mix perfectly, fresh and tasty veggies and meats. I don't like peas but there wasn't that many in the fried rice that I didn't care they were there. Great place to go eat enjoy a great meal or take it home.
