What User likes about Wa Jeal Chili House:
Dinner at Wa Jeal was absolutely the best Chinese food I had was not cooked at home. Fresh, hot, spicy and delicious. Tangerine crispy shrimps, seuan chili-fish cuts, spicy shredded beef, plus spicy but cold mung bean noodles. And the background music was Reggae: The service was also First Class, friendly, helpful and patient. I'll eat here every time I come back to NYC if I can. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Wa Jeal Chili House:
I don't like writing negative reviews because people make their living from the business. However, I got dinner for two take-out. $110. Repeat that. $110 for five dishes with nothing fancy. It was just not on point. The flavors were not well developed. $18 for sauteed green beans starts to become a concern for price. There is really good Szechaun in the neighborhood. But this needs much work. View all feedback.

read moreThe dish was overwhelmingly tofu-heavy. It should really be named Tofu with a hint of shredded beef.
I ordered white meat chicken with broccoli, and the broccoli was brown and mushy. I wouldn't recommend ordering from this place!
This place is amazing! Everything is delicious!
