CHILLI GARDEN (川王府） 41 Riverside Avenue, Medford, MA 02155

"I’ve been enjoying Chilli Garden for 20 years! Only order from the Sichuan menu. Love the huge mountain of watercress with garlic. There are some great special dishes with fish. I have had some of the Chinese American dishes and do not like them, and happy to stick with all the tasty specialties. Easy to park if you are driving. Friendly staff, no frills, always a great meal."

"Food and service was amazing. Prices are good too. I had Taiwan style rice noodles which were very good. I also had the kung pao bean curd which was amazing. Quality of ingredients are excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant."

"Ordered twice from here. Just felt compelled to write a review because of how bad it is. First time ordered the general tso chicken, flavor was decent but it was really soggy. I did pick up my order really late so I decided to give this place a second shot. But they managed to make it even worse. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken and not only is it soggy like last time (0 crisp, and I picked it up really quickly this time too), but there was barely any flavor in the sauce. Literally tastes like the chef forgot to add salt and sugar to the dish. It's a tasteless mess. Only giving them 2 stars because the eggplant garlic dish I ordered is decent (it has flavor). They can't do their classic "popular" dishes half decently. Don't think my standards are too high either, literally comparing them to any standard run off the mill chinese take out place. How do you mess these things up? Very disappointed."

"One of my favorite Chinese restaurants. Food were served very fast. First time try fried pork dumplings, not recommend as it’s not authentic at all, it’s totally fried but not one side and the wrapper is so thick. But I still love the rest of the dishes. Tofu was very tender, recommend to those who don’t like very spicy. Sliced beef omasum and tender is spicy, authentic and nice. Double-cooked pork belly is well cooked, a little bit too much oil but this is how this dish like. Recommend for those who wanna try some authentic Sichuan dishes."
