Yay! I am a fan.Great authentic food!Diversity choices. Good for big groups. Good price!

Good deal? Yeah!Delicious? Yeahhhh!Spicy? Ohhhh Yeahhhhhhh! Mind-numbingly so.The Chong Qing Chicken, Steamed Tofu with Fish, and Cumin Lamb is all you need, trust me. The place was bustling with people, tables are clean, menu is not sticky, and service is quick.Definitely recommend this for spice eaters and thrill seekers.

Very spacious restaurant with plenty of tables. The food is just average and prices are typical of many other Chinese places. Of the 5 dishes that we ordered, nothing really stood out. Don't see myself coming back here.

Good place for lunch. The Chong Qing spicy chicken is loaded with chili peppers and is one of the popular dishes here. I've had the Mongolian beef a few times and didn't have any complaints. The General chicken was tender with a nice sauce.This restaurant is aptly named as chili peppers are plentiful throughout the menu (the Chong Qinq is overflowing with them). Some of the dishes have the peppers chopped up (e.g. General chicken) so it's worth paying attention lest you get an unexpected mouthful of fire.Service is typical of the restaurants in this area and it can get busy during the lunch crunch. If you get there before noon you'll be fine.

Portion is a hit or a miss. It's extremely small the 1st time we came, but it's reasonable the 2nd time. Taste was good for some dishes, but bad for the others. Seated us in front of the restroom and sharing a table with strangers even though there were unoccupied tables available. Food was very salty!

Wind is rare in the Bay Area. But when the chill does come (for all of 3 months a year), I (and others) crave warm food. Opting for soup or noodles as comfort meals to warm the hearty bowels is norm, but sometimes you need something spicy to light the fire inside.Chili garden understates it's own name. I think Fiery Chili Heaven works better, and is more marketable.Almost every customer will order the most famous dish ($8.95) qi-nong spicy chicken. Ask for it. It's absolutely incredible. No joke - over 50 full chilis, cut up and blended like tortilla chips onto about 25 pieces of chicken that's been marinated in both spice and sugar and other herbs. It's 90% spice, 20% juicy, 20% sweet, and 100% amazing, excuse my math.The fish filet spicy fire stew ($12.95) is also a great dish. Eat it over rice to blend the right spice and mild flavors. Clear rice noodles and enoki mushrooms line the bottom and fresh fish floats alongside a combination of spices and chilis at top.Service is excellent as well. Try it!

One of my favorite restaurants in Milpitas! If you like or love tofu and fish, you must order the steam tofu with fish slices - they have spicy and non-spicy! Dried fried string beans, Chong Qing spicy chicken are my other favor dishes.

This is the REAL DEAL authentic Sichuan cuisine like I had when I lived in China for 1 1/2 years. Real spice and mala pepper.I've only come here for lunch, the lunch specials are an AWESOME deal. Most dishes run from 5.95 to 6.95 a plate. The tea and even the rice is complementary (not like some shady places that tack on $1 for rice). You can get a solid lunch here in Milpitas for under $10 INCLUDING tax and tip... NOT BAD.I've been working construction nearby and coming here for lunch most days for the last 3 months. The staff is very friendly and I think they understand I have a limited lunch break... they serve me quick!There's a reason I haven't yet tried other food in Milpitas Square yet... Chili Garden has satisfied me for a long time so far!Highlights and recommendations on the menu are: Mapo Tofu (EXCELLENT), Chong Qing Spicy Chicken (HELLA GOOD), Cumin Beef/Lamb (HELLA GOOD), and some of the spicy pork intestine dishes are hella good (if you're into that stuff... it's the Chinese side of me that loves pork organs).Don't leave Milpitas without trying this place.They got a credit card minimum of I think $20, so be aware of that. I always bring Cash.

Chile Garden and I have a strange relationship. I'm terrible with spicy food - my tolerance for spicy has a limit set to "hot cheetos", but I'm also a cheap thrill seeker- &this place is thrilling to my taste buds.From the items my co-workers and I have ordered, we most enjoyed the:- Chong qing spicy chicken- Fish fillet- Tofu pot with veggies- Eggplant- Mixed mushroomThe mushroom and chicken has a strange black seed that leaves a numbing sensation in your mouth - it's almost like you've been to the dentist. &the tea they serve makes that feeling spread.... I strangely enjoy it.. :PThe eggplant was cooked so that it wasn't mushy, but still firm and intact - they did good!The service is also great - it's a typical chinese place so there's alot of hustle and bustle. They move quick.Sometimes it gets crowded during lunch so there's a wait. Between the 5 of us, we each paid about $10 for lunch.YUM! I'll miss you Chile Garden when I switch projects

Pretty good Chinese restaurant, located in the same plaza as Ranch 99, as well as many other Asian food restaurants and bakeries. We ate beef stew, soup, chicken, fried rice. Everything was typical for a Chinese food. I didn't have anything that I thought was spectacular. Only come here when some of my co-workers want to take us out for Chinese, and they choose this place.

Maybe too greasy to the people not familiar with Sichuan cuisine, but most of their dishes are really authentic Sichuan dishes. Spicy, greasy, but tasty. In fact it's hard to see people other than Chinese in the restaurant...Basically every spicy dishes should be fine, but the most impressive one here to me is Deep Fried Spicy Pig Intestine. It's a kind of traditional dishes in China, but not quite acceptable to the others. But here this dish is among the best similar I've tasted! Crispy, spicy, not greasy, and no smell. Pretty good.Also the lunch special here is quite good. We normally order 3 dishes for 2 person, try hard to finished them, and only for a little more than 10 bucks each person. Really a good lunch place.

Used to be one of my regular lunch place with friends when I was in the area, always busy during lunch hour so make sure you plan 5-10 min buffer time for waiting. Strongly recommend:1) More spicy fish fillet (E15): if you love spicy food and fish, go for it!2) Starch noodle w/ mined pork in spicy sauce (H10)3) Chicken w/ hot sauce (C1, appetizer)4) Hot & spicy beef combo (C8, appetizer)

The nice place! nice food!

This is a very good place to eat Chinese food on a limited budget, without taking forever to get your food. The staff are great, food is very good and lots of it. The prices are very reasonable.
