Chilli Garden - Medford

I found leftovers of the Dry Braised Mixed Vegetables in the Chef Specials section and I'm still in disbelief that more than three-fourths of this dish was made up of red chilies. I've enjoyed many delicious spicy vegetarian Sichuan dishes in the past, so I feel it's fair to say that they really went overboard with the red chilies here. I'm quite disappointed!

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants! The food was served extremely quickly. I tried the fried pork dumplings for the first time, but I wouldn’t recommend them as they aren't authentic at all. They're completely fried instead of being pan-fried on one side, and the wrapper is quite thick. However, I still enjoyed the other dishes. The tofu was very tender and would be a great choice for those who prefer milder flavors. The sliced beef omasum was spicy, authentic, and delicious. The double-cooked pork belly was well-prepared, though perhaps a bit too oily—typical of this dish. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to try some authentic Sichuan cuisine.

I've visited this restaurant several times, and it's a solid option for Chinese cuisine in the area. I tried the fried dumplings as an appetizer, but I wouldn't recommend them; the skins are a bit too thick. The tofu with baby shrimp is quite tasty, though if the tofu were fresher, it would be perfect. I would definitely order that again. The sliced beef, omasum, and tendon are typically enjoyable in Chinese restaurants, but here they were a little too salty. The double-cooked pork belly is also good, although it has a similar issue with saltiness. Overall, the experience was decent.

Good service and nice atmosphere. Food was a tad too salty for my taste, the best dish was the pickled fish stew. Vegetables can be more fresh and less oily. Not bad for Medford.

I am obsessed with their Chili oil catfish with cabbage. I?ve had this dish in many places, including in China, and this one is super legit. I also love the garlic watercress, the portion is massive and it?s a nice healthy addition.
