Chilli King Chinese Food is located in Glendale Arizona not too far from Old Town Glendale. They offer American Chinese Foods, Hot Pots, some other dishes that you don’t find everywhere like scrambled eggs with tomato and Yangzhou fried rice (shrimp, sausage, pork, eggs, peas, carrots, scallions). The foods we tried so far were all flavorful. They also offer the ultra spicy foods. Portions are large and prices are low………The only downside is that service is usually poor when you do take out. They have their young son run the restaurant. He does a good job at taking orders and payments but there are issues with take out. …..Usually you need to wait about 40 minutes for your order to be done even if you prepay your order. They don’t start making your order until you show up. We waited around 45 minutes every time we did take out. My husband tried to speak to an adult about this but couldn’t because of the language barrier with the chef. On our first visit the boy’s mother helped with service. This restaurant is mainly open for take out. They do have four small tables inside that you can dine at if you wish. Soft beverages are offered here.
They offer the usual appetizers like –
spring rolls
crispy chicken dumplings.
On the menu they offer-
Szechuan beef (tender beef flavorful and spicy)
spicy chicken (tender chicken, very flavorful….this one was REALLY very hot spicy…this was one of the Ultra Spicies)
coconut curry chicken with steamed vegetables (flavorful and tender chicken)
sautéed vegetables with chicken
They offer sides such as chow mien, fried rice, steamed rice, and steamed vegetables
Above are chow mien and fried rice
This dish is very different to us….
shredded potatoes in red spicy oil….
They are kind of funky and spicy…………..texture is weird ……maybe slightly raw………really different…not sure if I like or not?…………too different for me.
Now for more Ultra Spicy!
MY favorite dish here (so far) is next.
Spicy boil chicken with greens and sprouts….The chicken is so tender and moist and this spicy (really good spicy with Szechuan peppercorns is magically delicious)
Here’s the what they call instant boil hot pot (they say it’s an authentic Chinese Soup)
sausage (we think they are hot dogs?), beef, chicken, potato, tofu, cabbage, mushrooms, steamed rice) Spicy and flavorful. Proteins are very moist and tender.
Oh and did I mention that portions run extra large?
The food is very good and a good value…Service….well ….usually isn’t the best.
Still Worth a Fork!
