Chili Szechuan is a hidden gem in West Philly! The food is absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of authentic Sichuan flavors. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor, and the portions were generous. The combine braised pork belly with string bean, its' right for me bring lunch to work. The staff was friendly; she is nice and patient to explain the different spicy. If you love authentic Chinese food with a little spice, this place is definitely worth trying.
Such a great local chinese restaurant for takeout, delivery, or dine in! The beef brisket soup was amazing and the dry pepper chicken with rice was also a favorite of mine. Large menu with lots of options, I liked how there was a mix of American chinese food and authentic szechuan dishes. All delicious, reasonably priced, and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend!
Lunch menu gives great value, their gong bao chicken is one of the best I've ever had. Also of note - double cooked pork (which is full price, not on lunch menu, but well worth it)
