Chez Chili

“real talk thier chili oil is exceptional - properly infused with aromatics and has that numbing sichuan peppercorn bite that tells you someone in teh kitchen knows what theyre doing with chinese technique trust me”

“literally teh wontons in the soup were clearly made hours ago and reheated - the wrapper had that tough chewy texture that happens when dumpling skin sits too long nuff said”

“best italian sub in the city hands down fresh crusty bread quality meats perfect ratio just no fancy stuff just done RIGHT not gonna lie”

“cash only in 2024 is so annoying especially wiht no ATM nearby on clark street like come on”

“literally the portion sizes are perfect for sharing - we ordered three dishes for the family and everyone left happy and full which is rare at this price point”

“no high chairs available so bringing teh toddler was a bit of a challenge wiht him squirming in a regular chair teh whole time”

“i mean tehy have several vegan noodle options that dont feel like afterthoughts - the vegetable broth has real depth and the tofu is pressed and seasoned properly”

“tbh teh dining room gets INCREDIBLY loud when its busy making conversation nearly impossible without raising your voice”

“like they were super accommodating about my gluten sensitivity offering to make the eggplant parm without breading adn serving it over gluten free pasta they actually keep in stock”

“seriously teh gluten free pasta came out overcooked and mushy no al dente bite at all which would've made this dish actually shine just saying”

“chicken parm was exactly what i wanted - thick juicy cutlet with crispy breading smothered in tangy marinara adn melted mozzarella that stretches when you cut into it”

“but the garlic bread arrived stone cold adn clearly microwaved which was disappointing considering how well executed the main dish was”
