Delicious spicy food.. Do take note that some dishes are very spicy.. Has other chains in sydney as well. Perfect for hot pots. I recommend the lamb ribs.. Yumo!
Went for hot pot last night but have been many times before. I've been to Sichuan and the food is as authentic as it gets in Adelaide. Sichuan is one of my favourite cuisines, it's spicy but it also packs a lot of other interesting flavours too. It's isn't just about the chilli. <br/ <br/ Most of the wait staff do speak English, but you sometimes need to be patient with them. I've never had rude service here but the style might be different to what you are used to.<br/ <br/ Give it a try.
Tasty food. There is a bit of a language barrier but with a small effort it was easy to make friends with the staff and from there on no real problems. Once you've mastered the iPad ordering system it's good means less misunderstandings when ordering. Food was a bit slow coming out but it wasn't a huge issue. Once we got it we were happy with the quality. We love Szechuan food. Their house wine was surprisingly good and pretty cheap. We'd go back. We both think it deserves a much higher score than the 58% it had when we were there (good to see it's gone up a bit).
I had been searching for good Kung Po chicken in Adelaide for years and h<br/ Was disappointed time after time by westernised, non-authentic, poor-substitute versions until I found China Chilli.<br/ <br/ If you don't like spicy food at all, this is not the place for you; they only have, maybe, three non-spicy dishes on the menu. All dishes come with a chilli rating and I tend to go for the ones with only one chilli or none. Dishes were high quality and very flavourful.<br/ <br/ Our favourite dishes are the Kung Po Chicken, some kind of fish soup, and snake beans with pork mince.<br/ <br/ Service is pretty average but I don't expect much from any Chinese eateries. Menu comes in the form of an iPad, which you order from as well.
Good food! The lamb ribs were amazing and the prawn with green tea leaves was very nicely done; not too heavy on the fried batter and the tea leaves added a nice bitterness. Reasonably priced as well given the location and quality. Next thing to try would be the hot pot which has a pretty huge menu and a decent price for the types of items they serve. Will be back for sure. The only reason it isn't five stars is they have this horribly complicated iPad ordering system which is essentially useless if you don't read the la gauge because you can add the items in English it takes you to a non-English screen, which makes us need to call the guy over. Over complicates and slows things down.
