Made a reservation for 3. We were seated at a small booth table for 2 with a spare chair jutting into the space used by restaurant staff to move between tables. They had no other availability so rather than endure a meal at a cramped table that was hardly bi enough for two we left. Don't offer a table for 3 if you are unwilling to seat 3 people properly please.

I have to divide this review in two parts First , the food was excellent. It was superior to most other restaurants like this. Part 2 The restaurant has a strict 90 minute rule for dining. I understand the need to seat the next reservation but to get the check before you are done and didn't even have a chance to order dessert was upsetting. It ruined what was otherwise a terrific food experience. When I asked about this I was told our dinner guests were seated early and therefore our 90 minutes were up before the scheduled time. The restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived and seating our party early was a courtesy. I have never seen this before and it ruined our experience . I hated to see a restaurant with food this good make a mistake like this

Solid sichaun dishes all around! Everything was tasty and portions were pretty large. The dry pot veggies and chingking chicken were excellent. The Kung pao shrimp was good but didn’t have any veggies, only shrimp and peanuts. For dessert we tried the rice wine soup and it comes with a super cool presentation. Our server Jonathan was great!

Wonderful service, every dish was phenomenal. Jonathan was very attentive. The smoked duck, eggplant, and twice cooked pork were stand out dishes. Plentiful vegetarian options as well.

I had a great experience at Chili today. Our server, Jhonaton, was super friendly and attentive. He checked on the table often and made me feel very welcome.
I ordered the fried rice, and it was delicious — fragrant, not too oily, and full of flavor. The rice was nicely separated, with tender pieces of meat, egg, and fresh green onion. A simple dish, but made really well.

The Food is really good, portions are good, staff are quick and attentive. The Rice Ball desert was something I’ve never tried before, presentation on point, sweet little flour dough balls filled with sesame and peanut. Thanks Jonathan for the recommendation!

Love this spot! Sat at the bar for the first time, Jhonathan, the bartender who helped us out, was a great guy!

The egg yolk bun was fantastic. It was hot, soft, and the filling flowed like lava when I bit into it. The beef scallion wrap was okay. The wrap was very crunchy, but the beef inside was cold which surprised me a little. For my entree I had the braised fish fillet with tofu. It was spicy and the fish was cooked nicely, though there wasn’t much else to say about it. The entree does not come with rice and you would need to order a side of rice. The sever messed up our order of purple rice and gave us regular rice instead.
