Red Chili

This restaurant so thoroughly exceeded expectations that it was shocking. The food was excellent, especially at the extremely reasonable prices. It's fairly no frills, so come for great food, not service. Highly recommended!

Very good, only complaint was not spicey enough. I had schzean clear noodle beef soup. 😋

Good for school lunch

I started coming here a few months ago for lunch. I would always get the same thing - either hunan shrimp with fried rice, or broccoli shrimp with fried rice. Today, I tried something different. I had the Lazi chicken and shrimp noodle soup. The woman behind the counter had warned me that the chicken was bone-in. I thought she meant like chicken wings. Nope. It was chopped chicken with the bones still in it. It was good, juicy and spicy, but I had to be careful to not eat or swallow the bones. The soup wasn't bad. Wish it were spicier, with more than just bok choy. I plan to try other dishes soon.

Excellent food. Always pretty fresh. Vary large quantities for very reasonable prices

Really deserves more attention. I tend to go for hot pepper chicken on fried rice both here and at Mark Pi's, and this place is about the same price and gives you seemingly 20 or 30% more food, and it's delicious.

Best Chinese food in Columbus! Variety of food options. Doesn't get packed after football games. Get the Hunan chicken.

The dishes are fine. But a little bit too much for a meal

You know a place is good when folks from that region or tradition eat there in large numbers. I recommend the hot numbing pot (or wok?)

Best Chinese food near main campus.Edit: Had to drop from 5 to 4 stars. They recently raised their prices and their serving proportions seem a smaller. I still think the food is really great but has become infeasible to go there often.

Fair price, Good food .

Don’t sleep on Red Chili. There’s a bunch of places to eat on high street as a student, but this place is way better than any of the fast food places you could choose from. The price is easy on the budget and amount of food you get for it is so much.

Fairly low price, good portion of food, food comes out fast, friendly service, and the taste is good!Plus they do pay attention to what customers asked for, like they always remember to make it less spicy (even no spicy) when I asked, even during the rush hours. And you can always ask for a refill of rice when you don't have enough!The daily special is always good, and only costs $8.95 (10% off if paid with cash)(Btw, there's also a variety of Chinese drinks available in the restaurant that you can't find else where)

Their garlic eggplant is fantastic

Hole-in-the-wall Chinese place with great dishes.
