“ Sichuan Chili in Evendale has long been a staple for me...one of those places I can trust for a consistently satisfying meal. I'm relieved they've managed to stay afloat through tough times. A quick glance at the photo gallery on the TV might just spark your next craving; it's hard to ignore a restaurant that practically dares you to try something new. Generous portions and fair prices make this spot a no-brainer for lunch, but be ready for a bustling crowd. The no-frills setting isn't the main event here, it's all about what's on the plate. Whether you're a regular or a curious newcomer, Sichuan Chili delivers the kind of bold, comforting dishes that remind you why you fell for spicy food in the first place. ”

“ Great food, probably the best Chinese I've had in cincy. Restaurant was cleanly and the service was quick too! ”

“ The "Sizzling" dishes are my faves beef and lamb so tasty and complex. Love the jalepeno slices in it! ”

“ Delicious. I tried the beef noodle soup from the Chinese menu which was spicy and delicious.....huge portions. Was enough for like 3 or 4 meals. Also the American menu was delicious too! ”

“ This place is still amazing. The house pan fried noodles are great and the Spring Water Boiled Fish is incredible- spicy and clean tasting. Highly, highly recommended. ”

“ I love the food here. If you're into spicy food, you need to visit this restaurant. Event though it is small, the service and the ambiance are great. Would recommend crispy tofu!!! I like to order sauce on the side to dip. The beef stew is also great!!! ”

“ The restaurant is small, but clean. The bathroom was clean, which I always appreciate. The waiter was okay, but not super friendly. He steered my daughter away from ordering the mini hot pot because he said it would be too spicy. She ordered chicken with garlic sauce from the Chinese menu. It was tasty and had a slight amount of spice. She ended up disappointed that she didn't get the hotpot, even though she did like her chicken dish. Her boyfriend ordered pepper chicken. I didn't try this one, but he really enjoyed it. I wasn't in the mood for jalapeño flavor, and it was covered in jalapeños. For myself I ordered sliced ear, bo-bo beef, and dry chili chicken. I was also warned that the bo-bo chicken would be very spicy. I sperically told him I love spicy food and I know I can handle it. I even mentioned that I didn't find the food in India spicy at all. The sliced ear was very tasty. My daughter liked the flavor, but not the texture. The outer portion has a texture similar to tendon, which was fine with her, but the rest was more like cartilage. I loved both textures personally. The dry chili chicken was perfectly cooked, although I could have handled some extra chilis in it. It was crispy and tender though. The bo-bo beef? Honestly, I did not find it overly spicy. It was spicy, but not what o would consider a 3/5. I didn't even feel a need for any type of drink during the meal. When the waiter asked me how was the spice. I had to tell him that I expected more. The dish though was delicious. The beef was the most tender beef o have ever tried. It has zucchini in it, which I love. Very good. The question is, do I just have that high of a spice tolerance, or did they give me "white girl" spicy? I seriously think it must have been less spicy than normal. I didn't even break a sweat and barely had a runny nose. Overall, it was very good. The portions were a good size. I went here specifically because if I could eat here I would be the Queen of Spicy in the Dayton area. I still don't know if I earned that crown. The spice level and the waiter not really believing me almost got them a 3, if I could do 3.5 I would. I know there are people that order it spicy and then they want to have it remade, so I'm not totally upset about the attitude. I'm just disappointed that I was promised spicy and it wasn't even on the top 5 spiciest things I've tried. ”

“ We were here on a Saturday evening. Found out it's just located beside CAM, so we came early, did some shopping in CAM, then walk in the restaurant around 5:30pm, guess dinner time is not started yet, we are the 1st group to arrive! We order bobo beef, had spicy fish, jelly fish, spicy dumplings and 夫妻肺片。 i would say 夫妻肺片 is the best. The fish is also very good, tasty, yummy to eat together with rice. Husband's beef is very tender, but he accidentally ate some chilly pepper in the dish, make his mouth on fire! I laughed! The service lady is from Xi'an, she is very nice. I can see we are coming back! ”

“ Got some lunch with a friend after dropping off my laptop at microcenter (this place is super close just for everyones reference). We got the crab rangoons which came out pipping hot and while the filling was a little gooier than I am used to - it was delicious. We both got dan dan noodles and while they were okay, I feel like they were lacking that peanut flavor I associate with dan dan noodles. They were also a little oilier than I prefer, although I will say I did eat them all and just added some peanut butter to my leftovers. We also got some sweet potato little rice desserts which I liked a lot - they had a similar texture to mochi. I would definitely try this place again and try another entree, especially for their dumplings with chili oil that were sold out. ”

“ It's been a while since we've been here and even after my last review 7 years ago this place doesn't disappoint. I'm also super excited that they managed to keep the prices almost the same despite inflation and every other restaurant in town upping prices like crazy. Still the same great service and great food. Had our go to wontons in chili oil then the staple Sichuan fried fish fillets. We added some spicy eggplant in garlic sauce and ma po tofu which they have with or without (vegetarian) pork. Lovely, spicy, happy tingly tongues! ”
