Craving noodles in Quincy, MA, I checked the reviews for Chili Square—this place looked promising! However, it seems more like a takeout spot. The cashier didn’t say much, and while we ordered for dine-in, everything was self-service. The food was decent, but overall, I’d give it a 3 out of 5.

Cash only place! Tons of MSG! if you want to try, prepare for MSG headache!

I ordered the Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup. It is absolutely delicious. One of my favorite soups. You will not be disappointed!

Fantastic. Pig ears, cold skin noddles, and the lamb bang bang were excellent.

They evade tax by cash only and don’t accept credit cards or transfer, and there’s no atm around so you cannot eat here when you don’t have cash with you, even if you drove around 1 hour to this place.

Most enjoyable noodles down to the last bite! FYI, this is a very small place with limited seating it's definitely worth the wait if you stop by during a rush. Next time we're in the area, I'll be going back for the Cumin Lamb Biang Biang Noodle!
I had dinner here on 12 Aug 24. It is a hole in the wall mom and pop joint. Cash only. That means disposal cutlery and plates for sharing. Be prepared for a tight squeeze as there are only 5 tables in this place.
That being said, the food is very good and mostly spicy. I loved the biang biang noodles which are basically thick wheat hand made noodles. Very chewy and soft. The sauce was just the right heat level. We also had the fish fillet with preserved vegetables which was huge and enough for 4 to share.
Would definitely recommend this place for a very authentic experience and taste of spicy Chinese food.
I've been meaning to go to Chili Square for a while, and finally made it on my last trip to Quincy. The restaurant is small (maybe 5 tables), and most everything is self service in front of the counter (including water, styrofoam side bowls, utensils, napkins). Cash only. Overall I enjoyed some of the things I had here, but probably wouldn't come back.
The beef noodle soup had nice flavor, The biangbiang noodles were good but not my favorite, and the chicken (bone, skin on) was quite tender with good flavor. The spicy fish fillet was huge and had a good amount of fish, but one of the fillets seemed a bit undercooked... Cucumbers cooked in the spicy broth was also an interesting choice. The chongqing chicken was coated in chili powder, which I didn't enjoy so much, and didn't have much savory flavor.
Overall I had a pleasant experience here, but there's nothing here that I wouldn't rather get at a different restaurant.

This humble shop is very famous. My friends repeatedly recommended it. I came here today and was amazed by the Lanzhou beef noodles. I have eaten them in New York and California and they were just average. The soup base of this shop is absolutely top-notch. The table next to me also came here because of its reputation. Said it tastes better than New York!

Noodles are tasty, and appears to be made as they are being ordered. One crucial point that I will refuse to come ever again! The price and food portions are such a ripoff! Let’s also not forget, you will get 1 piece of meat, maybe 2 on lucky days.
Why only cash😡
Food was so good! I got food poisoning though ):
