    The Peking duck is the star of this restaurant! When I went my friends and I decided to get the Peking duck to share and we preordered ahead of time for it. The duck was incredibly tender and juicy and is served with rice paper wraps as well as plum sauce and thinly sliced cucumber allowing you to create the perfect duck wrapped rice burrito! Each bite was delicious and then you have the option to use the leftover duck bones and skin as a crispy fried chip option or a duck bone broth option. We opted for the duck bone broth and it was tasty and hearty. I definitely recommend chili house for the duck!

    My perfect weekday night would have to be eating delicious Sichuan food at Chili House while listening to pitchy covers of the latest pop hits playing over the speakers. Even though there's a plethora of good Chinese restaurants in the Richmond, Chili House stands out because of its amazing food, quick service, and being very accommodating for both Chinese and non-Chinese diners. I almost always order dry braised string beans when I eat at Chinese restaurants, and they make them really well here. They are fresh, crunchy, and flavorful. Szechuan spicy chicken is my favorite dish and tastes very authentic, however one time the chicken was mostly bones. Cumin lamb packs a punch and will make you want a glass of milk to escape the spiciness, but the moments when you can't handle the heat are all part of the fun. Have yet to try the famous Peking duck (need to order ahead one day in advance.)

    Chili House is tucked away in Outer Richmond but the trek is worth it because they serve the best Peking duck in the city. The Peking duck has perfectly crispy skin with tender and juicy meat that pairs well with the pancakes and accoutrements. I could eat a whole duck on my own! The duck bones can be made either in a soup or fried and the fried bones are even more flavorful than the Peking duck (my preferred way is fried) and the soup is a great way to wash down all the oil (although it could use a tad more salt). Their other dishes are classic Chinese dishes that are seasoned well but don't miss the chicken with exploding chili pepper, which is super flavorful and crispy, and one of my favorite dishes, the "chow neen go" (Shanghai rice cakes), which is perfectly chewy with delicious wok flavor!! The cold noodles were decent and had a little heat of spice to them but could use an extra layer of saltiness.I like that the place has a mom and pop feel for a Chinese restaurant and although they don't carve the duck at the table, you can watch the chef carve the duck! And somehow manage to have a whole Peking duck for $60.

    It's really sad to hear that Chili House was temporary closed due a to a fire accident. Hope no one get injured during the accident. I went with a friend who was visiting SF and some of my local besties to Chili House two weeks ago. Of course , we were going for the Peking duck ! One of friends grew up in Beijing said the perking duck taste really closed to what she had back home. The Peking duck has everything you want for a Peking duck: crispy skin, juicy and flavorful meat, Chinese black bean sauce and the right thickness of wrap ! We also ordered crab, mapo tofu , sweet and sour beef noodles, pickle fish stew, house fried rice, Peking meat pancake . Everything taste yummy. We were really surprised by the house fried rice
