Wa Jeal Chili House

One of my favorite local places. The food is great, you will find some dishes here that you really couldn't find anywhere else. They also giver you generous portions!

The food is excellent. We often have trouble deciding what to have since all the food is so good. The service is wonderful. The waitstaff are super friendly and thoughtful. They never rush us and do a good job of pacing the courses. Totally recommend.

Genuine authentic food great service Vegetarian options: Vegan and vegetarian friendly

The lo mein and thousand chili chicken is so good! We just had takeout, but the inside of the restaurant is gorgeous, can't wait to come back for dinner sometime!

An hole in the wall Szechuan restaurant at UES. The spicy is numbing, tofu a bit over cooked, chicken good size and ratio to chili. A very good place, everything came out fast, and is authentic from former Michelin chef. Has since upgraded the decor a lot, much more refined. Like the whole fish, still tender under the sauce. Could use more heat on Chongqing chicken, Lotus root a big different than what I expected, a bit bland. Pea shoot and eggplant were delicious. Sliced tea smoke duck infused with flavor, will try the half duck next time.

Wa Jeal is hands down the best Sichuan in the neighborhood and rivals others in the city. We've been getting takeout for several years now.
