This place was amazing! Went there on a friends recommendations and we were totally satisfied. The service was excellent and very prompt. The food was delicious and perfectly priced for the portion. Ordered 2 cokes, pot stickers, pork fried rice, chicken chow mein, beef with broccoli and seared prawns. All that came out at $50 and we had plenty of leftovers. Service was so good I gave em 20% tip. I highly recommend and will be back again for sure.

I have been going here for 12 years now. It had never been a disappointment and have always enjoyed this place, but I guess all good things must end some time. I went here to eat the other day and there was a peculiar odor that was not at this place before. The sort of odor that you smell coming from cheap take out restaurants. I ordered the usual almond chicken, pecan prawns, and fried rice. The hot tea tasted like NyQuil which should have alerted me right there. So I chose not to drink the tea and then the food came out in record time like less than 5 minutes after ordering. It was not that great. I started feeling really bad a few hours after eating with severe abdominal pains and my friend who was with me eating here also had severe pains. I am still a bit ill and will never eat here again. Not one of my faves any more.

I'm really sorry I ate here. Definitely more money than I'd like to pay for the quality of food it has to offer.The dining room is cavernous and old looking. There's a piano that plays by itself in case you like music.Kung Pao Chicken: Fatty chicken with a spicy sauce that's nothing to write home about.Pork Chow Mein: Salty sauce with boiled pork. The noodles are passable.Schezwan Beef: Turned out to be baby corn (was the main ingredient) with beef, ginger and asparagus. It did not match what was on the menu. Go figure. In any event, it was quite salty. Definitely not worth the money.Not coming back.

My husband and I decided to try this place for dinner.The restaurant is very clean with nice decorations. The waiter took our order without us having to wait or look for staff to put in our order. The food was out in about 15 min. It was OK chinese food. We didn't eat much so we asked for the rest of the meal togo. We left thinking we should have gone to Panda Express and the food would have tasted better and it would have been cheaper. The following day my husband went to warm up the food and I notice the house was smelling like curry. I look and they had pack some curry noodles which wasn't even our order. Gross!!!We will not be going back.

Dinner! Mom bought dinner; she ordered too much food again!

How do you say "Chinese food for the white folk" in Mandarin?Don't get me wrong, I dig this place. I have had maybe one or two Hot n Sour soups that are as good or better (one was in this obscure Chinese restaurants in Santa Barbara). And I always order Hot n Sour soup at every chinese restaurant I go to, even if I'm with hardcore Chinese people who frown on Hot n Sour soup gringos like myself. Their Hot n Sour soup is loaded with stuff which makes it more tasty. It's not watered down or just hot or just sour like many others.I dragged my 100% Chinese mother in law in here and she said it was pretty good. She's very nice but also going to tell me if she hates it. So it passed the sniff test.But let's face it, the only Chinese people or Asians for that matter in here are the staff. Don't believe me? Drop those chopsticks and take a peek over your shoulder. It's super rare to find an Asian EATING in here. Seeing one is like seeing Nessie in Loch Ness or Big Foot. Even I get the food to go. It ain't cheap fare and very westernized so that's probably why.So it's basically top quality, Mr. Chau's or Panda Express on steroids. If you want good Americanized Chinese food in the tri-city area, this is the joint!

I've been going here for YEARS! The food is amazing. I've never had anything I didn't like, but the 2 things I can't do without are the honey pecan prawns and the minced chicken lettuce cups.Yum yum yum.

Being a long time resident of Fremont I have gone here many times. Sadly it has really gone down hill in recent years. And forget about complaining about anything they don't really care to make anything right. The honey pecan prawn a favorite is not made fresh. The same with other dishes It is definitely no longer worth the price.

Their Honey Pecan Prawns is to die for! Well, I don't want to die yet, so less one star. LOLSeriously, their food was awesome! Pricey little place with professional attentive employees. It's one pricey Chinese place but worth it. Gotta love the ambiance and the classy lauriat-style of serving their dinner combo. It's a fine-dining experience.When my heart-husband and I went there, there were several groups of Asian people. Not sure why one Yelper mentioned it's an all-White dining place. What an observation! Blind.Anyway, I love their food. It's not easy to please me when it comes to Chinese food, so I know myself. LOL Just look at their wall of awards. Maybe that's why they're expensive. It's not a college-budget friendly place. It's for that very special occasion only. Or one would go broke.

Very disappointed..I've been coming here for years. The food is ok but the prices are crazy. If I could say the food was amazing I wouldn't mind paying more.We ordered take out several weeks ago(haven't been able to yelp it sooner) and I was horrified when I picked it up. The women behind the counter was coughing over and over.. I understand if you get a tickle, but she was hacking away.. to make matters worse, she wasn't covering her mouth.. She was walking all over the front of the restaurant hacking away!!! Gross... Then, she went over to the garbage, spit something in it and proceeded to box up my meal. My stomach still turns thinking about it. If she did that in front of me thinking it was ok, what is it like behind the scenes?? I politely grabbed my food, and threw it all in the garbage as soon as I got home. Yes, all $60.00 of it... NEVER AGAIN CHINA CHILI...

By reading these reviews, I thought I was at the wrong place.A friend recommended this place, so we decided to give this place a try for lunch.As we came in, there are framed awards adorning the wall. The ambiance is outdated and dark.Menu selection was boring, nothing different. Basic Americanized Chinese food. You can tell already this place isn't authentic. There were no Chinese words on the menu.We ordered and the food came out quickly. They have lunch special Mon-Sat. 11am-2pm. Dish comes with Spring roll, soup and bowl of fried rice/white rice.1. Mongolian Beef, very greasy, drowned in oyster sauce. Beef pieces were too large to put in my mouth. Green onions and bamboo shoots were too large. Very salty probably from too much oyster sauce. This tasted terrible. My wife said our own cooking trumps this crap.2. Chicken asparagus: not sure who is in the kitchen, but looks like they don't have any professional cook/chef in there. The pieces were not cut the same size. It was also drowned in oyster sauce and greasy! I swear the Mongolian beef and this dish had the same sauce, just that there was some chili sauce added to the beef dish.3. Beef chow fun, I'm Chinese and used to live in SF. I'm used to eating authentic Chinese food. Beef chow fun is supposed to be "dry sautéed". There was soy sauce literally sitting at the bottom of the dish and the rice noodles(fun) were wet and had no flavor. Too many bean sprouts which were not fully cooked. Very gross indeed.4. The fried rice is not what one would expect. It is just leftover rice with soy sauce. Ughh!!They looked at us funny when we didn't want to take the rest home. I guess they don't eat the food here. I wouldn't give this food to my dog.After reading all the yelp reviews, I was surprised by the decent to good reviews. I suspect they have lots of long time patrons here who support this place or they haven't had enough sampling of what "true or authentic" chinese food is and what it should taste like. Maybe it is different for dinner or the chef called in sick that day. There are plenty of Chinese places that I would go to here in the area.I could spend less then half of what I spent here and cook better than this at home.Bottom line: I'd thought I'd never say this, even Panda express would've been good. Terrible experience and food. Don't waste your money here.

Why I haven't been here since I was eight, the world may never know. But, to celebrate Chinese New Year, hubby wanted to take me to dinner. It was a hard decision, since I usually order Chinese as take-out and we wanted to find somewhere with a comfortable dining atmosphere if we were going to stay there and eat.BAM - China Chili! We were seated immediately, but asked to move since the piano was right behind the screen from us and the volume made conversation difficult. From the beginning the service was excellent - very attentive to water levels and even boxing up appetizers we didn't finish to reduce the clutter on the table. We started with wor wonton soup, and enormous potstickers. I think they were double the size of potstickers I've seen in other restaurants! It was impressive to see the egg moo-shee wrapped up for us not with hands, but only spoons touching the pancakes. We also ordered Kung Pao beef and house fried rice. Everything was fantastic!Other than the obnoxious piano, my only other complaint is that the beer was overpriced, and looking back I may have wanted to double-check the menu to see if that was what we were charged. I think in general their prices are a little more than other places I've been, but they do make up for it in service and ambiance. We'll be back!

This is my all-time favorite Chineese restaurant. The name and location are misleading. But, try it. You will be amazed and delighted! I have been many times. I can't resist their honeyed pecan prawns and the greenbeans in garlic sauce. ...?

One of the few non-chain restraunts in the city and is highly recognized by its citizens. I think they've made it on the best of lists in the local paper since they've opened. Service and the variety of dishes is unheard of for a Fremont ...?

Again, for those looking for Americanized Chinese food, this place is for you. For the Chinese popluation in Fremont (at least 1/4 of the city), this place is sadly not Chinese. The food is overly sweet and defintely not authentic. ...?

I have eaten here many times. If you are looking for authentic Chinese food this isn't the place. However, the food is very good. Honey Pecan Prawns are excellent, garlic geen beans are very good........and always get the lettuce wraps. ...?

It is a restaurant with good taste and environment. Even for Chinese people, the dishes taste good, and authentic. The environment is better than that in most Chinese restaurants. But it is a bit expensive. It cost us $20/person for dinner. ...?

on some of their dishes The atmosphere is very nice, but the food is average. They have some dishes and there are so many HOT peppers that it makes you perspire. If you do not like hot/spicy food, I would not go there. The food is too hot for young children too. ...?

I've probably eaten at China Chili 25 times over the last 14 years and the Honey Pecan Prawns are always spectacular. I've eaten at a lot of Chinese restaurants and this is the best item I have ever had at any of them. They are that good. I've lived in Mountain View (about 30 minutes away from Fremont) for the last 8 years and we still make it a point to go to China Chili at least once a year. When you go to China Chili, I heartily recommend ordering the special. You won't be sorry. Everything is excellent (especially the Prawns) and you'll have more than enough food to take some home for leftovers. China Chili is my favorite Chinese restaurant and if you eat there, you'll know why.?

The service & atmosphere were good, but it was the worst Chinese food I've ever eaten. The prawns were tough, the vegetables undercooked, and the sauce was tasteless. The "fried rice" was nothing more than white rice with some brown ...?

Until recently, I had not eaten at China Chili in about 5 years. On a whim one night we decided to go back - and we had such a great meal we've gone back 5 times in 3 months...each time ordering the same things and enjoying it just as ...?
