I’ve gone here a lot of times now and this place always slaps. Great display of authentic Sichuan restaurant food, and pretty great value.
Fav dishes: - Fish blossom - something that your parents can’t cook at home lol - Spicy chicken - String beans - Cumin lamb - Egg plant - Purple rice - Poached okra - Crab meat tofu - good show, good amount of crab meat/salted egg yolk, and good for people who can’t handle spice

Just got engaged and had no idea where to celebrate dinner, searched on google “Best Restaurants in Midtown NYC” and stumbled upon a Reddit thread where CHILI had a significant amount of upvotes. We aren’t from the city so we tend to trust the opinions of locals when it comes to this stuff and boy were we thrilled.
No reservation, had about a 20 minute wait but grabbed a quick drink and got right in after.
From the moment we were seated we could tell this place had an infectious buzz of good times and great food, but honestly the service was the star of the show. Each member of staff we interacted with had such a high level of professionalism, cheery demeanor, and appreciation for our patronage.
Mung bean jelly noodles, Smoked Tea Duck, Five Spiced beef, Sichuan green beans, and Sweet and Sour baby ribs all hit the table and were quickly devoured, savoring each bite until our bellies were stuffed.
Thank you CHILI team for adding such an incredible experience to the best day of our lives. So glad we got to experience you!

My best friend and I came to have our meet up here and wow. We ordered the Kung Pao shrimp with fried rice and a side of the cucumber salad. Everything was perfect!! The serving was large enough to split between the both of us. When I visit back home, I will definitely go there again.

One and done. Wait staff completely forgot two out of four people’s orders and rest of the place was so uninvolved that no one noticed. I brought it to their attention and they brought out a messed up order. Bean soup was awful and one of the vegetarian meals that was supposed to have been toned down spice wise wasn’t. Fish dish had some pieces not quite cooked through. Ugh. Scallion pancakes were good out incredibly greasy. Two desserts we say we didn’t want but got anyway to make up for dinner disaster, weren’t nearly enough of an “I’m sorry we totally screwed up your dinner.” I’ve never NOT given a tip but did so this time. Teenager at the front desk (lol) too busy on her phone and dancing around to be of any use. Wait staff uninvolved. And the place wasn’t overly busy so no excuses. I wouldn’t go there ever or even order from there.
Sunday, December 8 around 4:30pm or so.

Good food, great service. Very busy though, could only get outside seating without a reservation
Would highly recommend the Mapo Tofu and Chung King Chicken. They are very authentic and spicy.
Also incredibly fast service even on a Saturday night. We got our food <10 min of ordering.

A Chinese menu with good gluten free options!!! Chili is a combo Chinese restaurant + speakeasy. The atmosphere is comfortable and the food and cocktails are great. The tea smoked duck and Chinese broccoli are gluten free and fantastic. All the dumplings are good (not gluten free), and don't forget to ask for the chili sauce!
It gets busy on Sunday so get there early!
Dietary restrictions: Good gluten free options!

Very surprising! Not only ambiance was great but the food is truly to die for. Be conservative when ordering as portions are very generous! Plenty of vegan options
