Expérience très désagréable. Le serveur (homme avec des lunettes) a un comportement inacceptable. Il parle aux chauffeurs Uber d'une manière méprisante & agressive, comme s'ils ne méritaient aucun respect. C'est choquant de voir ça dans un établissement censé être professionnel. Franchement, si vous n'êtes pas capable de respecter les gens, vous ne devriez pas être en contact avec des clients.
Follow the amazing smells down the staircase into the open dining room. It's worth it. We went for a late lunch on a Monday & didn't have to wait but would have… so good! We shared a soup & two entrees & it was a lot of food. DELICIOUS!!! Merci, Chez Chili!

It is simply delicious. I went with my family to eat. We had a table immediatly since it was a monday. We ordered Pineapple chicken stir-fry, dumplings & fried rice with veggies. Everything was good. I just wished there would be more juice in the dumplings. The chicken was crispy & the flavor was rich. Every ingredients of the pineapple chicken worked harmouniously. Perfecty, I would say. I really hate when the dishes taste like different ingredients mixed together. It's the same for the other dishes. We got served the chicken in few minutes after ordering. Honestly, I don't even know how they managed to make fresh & delicious pineapple chicken like that in just a few minutes. Maybe we arrived little bit after the chicken was made. I don't know. It's a mystery. I really liked the ambiance. I also liked the fact that people were'nt loud there. There is truly no flattery in my words. It is is truly good there. I wish I could taste more. I'll surely come back.
Editing my comment to resposnd to owner:
First read my comment carefully. I didnt say that you gave a free drink for 5 star review.
Before talking about other's behavior, make sure you have those good behavior & good service.
Opionion on your food's quality doesn't bother you. This is the clear sign of quality of your restaurant. Paying a lot to enjoy the food & ambience, but i had very bad experience in both.
This is my review. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE, OILY FOODS.

Service: not welcoming
** Don't trust reviews from google, most of them are for a free drink **
Fried chicken- call it as fried flour, i need to search chicken in that flour. Too oily & not even 10% chicken.
Stir fried chicken noodles : i ordered stir fried chicken noodles, but they served a plate of oily noodles. & hardly 2-3 pieces of chicken.
Please be aware. Don't take risk.
& the most funny part is, tips starts from 18% for their rude service🫣
I ordered & never received order, I placed & call them to cancel order as it was wrong order, initially order was saying 30 mins to prepare but as soon as I called, they asked me to contact uber one & meanwhile change order status to complete, worst experience, I will rate Chez Chilli 0
Cheerful & bustling spot in a giant downstairs room with big savory sharing plates placed on turntables atop round tables. Casually tasty & relaxed happy vibes. Mix of authentic flavors & dishes alongside crowd favorites. Solid beer or wine, or a pina colada in a can. Get a reservation!
