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.

Wa Jeal is hands down the best Sichuan in the neighborhood and rivals others in the city. We've been getting takeout for several years now.

The 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!

The Peking duck was excellent, priced at $46. Even after taking it home, the skin remained crispy for quite a while.
