Nothing short of amazing. Great food,great atmosphere, and great staff . Everyone was professional and generous. Our waitress made sure we were in a very comfortable environment. Definitely going back!

Eater

Made fresh daily, Chili House's dumplings are a welcome reprieve from the numbing spices of the Sichuan fare. Choose from xiao long bao , shumai , pot stickers , and more. Read more

Everything is pretty good!! Very authentic . Try spicy crispy chicken . It's a must! Those who can't eat spicy dishes please be careful. Sichuan style is spicy in nature.

Paul Cunningham

Mapo tofu was on point. Cumin lamb was tasty but could have used more lamb . Pork dumplings were great. Excellent meal plus entertaining tea pouring acrobatics .

Melvyn

Order the Pan fried noodles , prawns with walnuts and the Szechuan Chili Pepper with pork . Prawns are large and the coating crunchy. You can request to make the Szechuan dish to be medium or mild.

Norris Tran

Beef pancake has hoisin inside so it's a little sweet. I like it

Debbie Chong

Explosive chili peppers with chicken is great. Rather than chopped wings , they use boned chicken . Had a garlic encrusted crab . Delightful and fresh. Szechuan green beans were fresh. Not overly hot.

Lan

My new favorite is the wonton with spicy peanut sauce . Get this and the house cold noodle for sure!

Ignacio Medina

Very good service and great locking : flavor! Super.

Jiashu Wang

It's the same owner who owns Z&Y. Food is great for sure, a little bit pricy .

Vansi

If you like chicken with explosive chilies, try out the hot and spicy pork trotter.

Lane Rettig

Pretty authentic . The shuizhuyu (signature spicy fish ) was excellent, tender and spicy but not overwhelming. Had to wait about 15 mins for party of two on Saturday at 7.

Lan

The dong po pork is giant slabs of saucy, spicy pork belly . Must order this and cold noodles !

Lauren H

Pan fried leek turnovers are amazing pockets of crispy and molten tastiness with leek , egg and noodles inside. Love the numbing spicy beef tendon , too!

Jenny

Pretty authentic . The fish was delicious, but I can't say if it was more delicious than the other szechuan places on my radar

Andrew Armstrong

Best Peking Duck in San Francisco! The Beijing-style dim sum is different, and really good too!

Tim Haines

Everything is good! The wonton soup is particularly good, light and refreshing.

Nanette

Spicy in spicy out! Get the cold noodles , smoked duck , twice cooked pork , dry fried green beans !

Agatha Yu

Good pickled mustard green fish soup . Their beef pancake roll is a must get!!

Anton Shuster

Twice-cooked pork , cold fish fillet , and Shanghai-style chicken are on San Francisco Magazine's Best of the Bay 2013.

Louis Imershein

I had the Kung Pao Chicken for lunch . Best I've ever had!

Pacific Union

Had the dan-dan noodles on Christmas Day and am still dreaming of them. Spicy and delicious.

Normally green onion pancakes bore me. This place has delicious ones, great crispy texture

Wesley Gibson

Had a dinner here recently, I can say this place is perfect for any couple, want to make their moments memorable.

Megha Patel

Very hard to order esp when waitress doesn't speak English very well . Order 5items and only 2were decent. The spicy wonton in peanut sauce was the best thing we ordered.

Camilia

Tea-smothered duck is delicious.

Ignacio Medina

Hoh men ????this is really good.

Elizabeth James

Explosive Chili Pepper Chicken is amazing! Very unique and wonderful presentation.

Jenn Chen

Be sure to order 24hrs ahead for the Peking duck !

Try the garlic prawns . Encrusted in roasted fried garlic . Crab can be done this way too.

Brian L

Decent dumplings , nicely spicy dishes . Wish the beef was a little higher quality, but would try again.

Garlic crusted prawns were outstanding! Juicy and garlicky.

Moderately good szechaun food. Why must all 水煮鱼 be so expensive ?!

Billy Sountornsorn

Couples delight is my favorite

Michael Cabot

Charges for take out containers.

Guillaume R.

Not very impressed. They're trying but it's nowhere near the taste and quality of Sichuan Home on Geary.

Michael Cabot

OK. Not a lot of depth or heat in the food.

Andy Jiang

Pretty decent, but overpriced szechuan food .
