My favorite Chinese food in the greater Phoenix area. I'm a simple eater. I love their orange chicken. Perfectly cooked with just the right amount of crunch. So glad they are back open for in house dining. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.

Very large portions for sharing. Food was delicious staff very friendly and personable. One of my favorite places to eat since I came to Arizona. Our meal included Sizzling rice soup Orange Chicken Mongolian Beef MuShu Pork along with Pork and Shrimp Fried Rice.

We ordered a ton of food to go and when we went to pick it up, this place was PACKED. Food was pretty darn good. We asked for spice and did not really get any. The orange chicken comes in strips, and it’s quality meat, however the fried bits to meat ratio is lower than you’d expect for orange chicken. It was still great, but more fresh than fried.

I’d nearly scarfed down a half plate of yummy Orange Chicken when I got a wild hair to do a Google review on this place. So, forgive the partially eaten lunch in my photos.I’ve been dining here for a handful of years and am always amazed at how quickly after you order, they can get a plate of hot food onto your table. It’s kind of scary.The food is consistently good. My favorite dish is - no secret here – Spicy Orange Chicken. The prices are reasonable as well. The wait staff are polite, efficient, and never in any danger of being slapped with a Chatty Cathy label. These folks rarely ever speak to the customers.I used to worry that the staff were trafficked slaves; strictly forbidden to do anything more than race around taking orders and delivering plates, while desperately trying to keep their dark secrets to themselves. I even imagined them bound and gagged underneath the floorboards each night after the place closed.Since none of the workers ever slipped me a note pleading for immediate police assistance, I figured I was overthinking things and the staff likely worked here because they wanted to.Meantime, my only gripe with this place is that the exterior looks hideous and uninviting.

Been here a couple times over the years, most recently the other day.I have heard a lot of people rave about this place. I think it’s good, but overhyped.We had the orange chicken and Mongolian beef. The chicken is breaded and crispy, with good flavor. The Mongolian beef was also pretty tasty. Some of these items are classified as spicy, but I do not find them spicy at all. I wish they would make them more spicy.The other thing that I noticed was the floor needed to be vacuumed, as there were a lot of little pieces of paper and miscellaneous items on the floor under some of the tables.

Best orange chicken I’ve ever had ? of course I came here because I saw it on AZ Foodie abs hands down!! The atmosphere of the place is ver traditional the wonton soup was amazing but their orange chicken ?? I’ve been craving it since I went

a long running and lasting Central Phoenix favorite...as authentic as you will find for great Chinese food. The staff is the best and goes above and beyond to make your time as easy and comfortable as is needed. The food does not disappoint...many items are american favorites, and ask if there is a special offered and go for it. The food is flavorful and served family style...with portions that will definitely fill the bellies. China Chili does get busy for lunch; they have a large sitting area and should be able to accommodate your group no problem.

China Chili took care of out group of 15 with ease. Everyone got the right order and the orange chicken lived up to its reputation. Some of our group that didn’t get the orange chicken said they would get it next time. Good food!

Delicious every single time. Best roast duck I can find. love it.

Try the peppered Calamari. Mongolian beef an staff is wonderful!
