Mr Chilli in Liverpool

A friend has suggested Mr Chilli’s several times, but we’ve always ended up getting side-tracked and going elsewhere. On this occasion, there was no getting side-tracked, and I’m so glad we didn’t. What a visit it was! We went when it was fairly quiet, but there was still a good atmosphere. The staff were attentive, and there were no issues when I asked for something that was a change to the item shown on the menu. We had a selection of starters and main courses, and the portions were both generous, and piping hot. We all agreed that the food was exactly what we were looking for, and it was fantastic. It wasn't the cheapest place we've been, but by no means the most expensive, and I would say that it was value for money. This is now one of our favourite restaurants, and we are already making plans to return. Very happy indeed!

It is rare to encounter a relatively authentic Chinese food, highly recommended. This is the most enjoyable meal I have had since coming to the UK. Wall crack push.

Absolutely one of the best Chinese ive had in a long time ! Ordered through uber eats and was delivered really fast, Food was top notch and the satay sauce was one of the nicest ive ever had from a Chinese! Chilli chips were spot on and everything was piping hot ! Would definitely recommend if in Liverpool!

The food is pretty oily but I guess It’s cos of what I ordered. I’m not a fan but my dad loves the food here and enjoyed his lunch so much.

We went to this Chinese restaurant on a recommendation and it didn't disappoint. There were 4 in our group and we tried both set meals for two on the menu. The food tasted amazing, good sized portions, great service from friendly staff. All reasonably priced. Well worth a visit next time you're in Liverpool.

Really :) loved the food in there. We had a set of food to try as much as we could. I have been always fussy about food but really liked trying these dishes. Food we got that day price ranged from 5£-40£ each of us. The floor set in the restaurant is very vibrant, plenty space. You could get a table with hot pot, big table available too. I would definitely recommend to anyone living or visiting the city of Liverpool

Ordered food this evening, Just eats delivery lost it. App said 'delivered' but food was 'ghosting' in the ether clearlt. After a long train ride, I have to leave my accomd to roam a city i dont know looking for food in the middle of the night. They could have been a bit concerned and tried locating their driver. I was essentially told to kick rocks and go find the delivery driver whose no I dont have as a customer. Do better and make sure I get my money back. If Uber eats is trying to ruin your business then fix it...you are their business partner after all.

They have the best chicken and can of coke here so much chicken some much coke beautiful

The food here is MUCH better than getying a chicken and a can of coke.

Slow service, food ok. Could have been better

水煮豚肉、ジャガイモ細切り炒め、白飯を注文。水煮豚肉は唐辛子の辛さは有りましたが、痺れはほぼ無くて残念でした。それからスープの旨味が感じられませんでしたが、もしかしたら無化調なのかもしれません。量も多くて３品で約２５ポンドとイギリスにしては非常にリーズナブルな価格でした。

Got chicken and a can of coke from a recommendation from 2 older lads walking. Great 👍

Under the new management, the food is bland and the portions got smaller. Even no need to mention the quality of services. If you prefer drinking the weak Chinese tea in the restaurant, be prepared to pay £2.5 per person (FYI, the menu only says £2.5 per pot). Avoid at all costs.

AVOID!!! Old food. Gave 2 bites of the food and today woke up with still belly ache. Super bad quality ingredients 0/10

Fantastic and delicious. Ordered: Beef vermicelli stir fried Chicken noodles Chicken side in oyster sauce Taste: Perfectly cooked. Amazing taste. All spices good. Fresh vegetables and more meat than one can even expect. Check the pics. Beef and chicken were good cooked as expected. Quantity: The amount is well enough to feed 2 for one dish. We were four adults for the order placed and we were full. Atmosphere: Firstly noticeable the table hot pot arangement. The ambiance was good. Service: Was quick enough and welcomed nicely. Overall: A very good Chinese restaurant where very good food is available in an optimum pocket pinch.

I was turned on to Mr Chilli's "real" Chinese menu several years ago by my partner's family, who are Chinese food aficionados. Since then we always try to go here when we're in Liverpool. This place specialises in fiery, robust Sichuan cuisine which I love - I always order the Gong Bao chicken and hot and numbing beef, but they're not dishes for the faint hearted. Ideally come down with a big group, order several dishes to share, and enjoy!

I always go to this restaurant for a HotPot with friends, we always love it.

I have ordered food in night , the food was not good , ordered fried rice it was burnt and the rice was thick. dumbilings are not real very very bad food Sorry to say

The pork in ‘sweet & sour pork’ did not taste like pork at all - it was some kind of meat paste and has fridge smell. ‘hot&spicy chicken’ was better cos it’s chicken and not some paste like pork but it was not spicy and on the salty side.

Mr Chilli is the place to go if you want to try authentic Szechuan food. The food tastes homemade, it's affordable and the portions are generous. Staff are friendly and service is always efficient, even though the food is always fresh. The only thing I would recommend is to give the English menu a miss- the real star here is the authentic Szechuan food. Some dishes that come recommended are the sliced lamb with cumin, hot and numbing beef and Chengdu duck.

Can't go wrong with a cold Tsingtao

Long-established and highly regarded traditional Chinese cuisine restaurant. Price levels are reasonable. Family-friendly.

Good food for a decent price. Razor clams were particularly tasty

Chicken and a can of Coke. Best in Liverpool!

It is located in a bar and nightclub area and has many dishes. However, I think the individual items in the all-you-can-eat hot pot are a bit monotonous. The CP value is ok, it is clean and ok, and the service staff are polite. Heavy oil, large portion, one bowl of rice can only serve 2-3 people, it is recommended to order a few dishes for how many people.

Received our order which was not pleasant & we would not order a takeaway again Sui mai's were of mashed sausage texture the filling for a well known restaurant unacceptable Spring rolls were full of long sliced onion? I have never had this in spring rolls before Crispy chilli beef very light brown hardly much flavour. All 3 items I have ordered in this restaurant before & was lovely

Hanged up on me when I tried to order

What find! A hidden gem A really good Chinese restaurant on the corner of Seel street and Colquitt street very popular with the Chinese community. Great prices and food, will be going again and again An easy recommendation.

I went here while on a weekend in Liverpool with 11 other people. All 12 of us thought that this was one of the nicest and best Chinese meals that we have had! Highly recommend this place if you are from the area or just visiting.

Had special fried rice and Sichuan dumplings for dinner and it was so good! Great quantity and quality. Friendly service and plenty of seating. Thanks so much!

Went to the restaurant at 4:00 pm and ordered noodles and Sichuan bacon. The shaved noodles are great, generous portions, delicious and chewy. Since I don’t like spicy food, I don’t know if their spicy soup is very hot. The waiters are great, attentive and polite. The most important thing is the affordable price.

We had the hot pot session - adult price £25 for 2 hr session but have to have minimum 2 people. the food selection was good, but the time to get the ingredients was quite long, albeit it was Saturday night. They lost our order on one of the rounds.. Staff were friendly but a smile would be nice. The fried bun was very lovely. The cold appeitizers were very nice. Lots of chilis and tons of oil.

very respectful with a beautiful mix of cultures and cuisine. I was scared of chilli and the heat, now I fear it as much as the cold and sour Me and my hopeful love with always hold a candle for here x

Great Chinese food in Liverpool. Authentic flavour at good price.

Really good western style, Chinese food in this busy restaurant.

Lots of really interesting dishes. Loads of options, really tasty and surprisingly good value too. Highly recommended!

Fantastic impromptu meal out with old friends and new. Great food and setting, service was excellent.

I attend regularly for celebratory occasions or on dates. Bargain all-you-can-eat hot pot with delicious fresh and exotic veg, very generous portions of meat and a massive selection. The a la carte menu also looks delicious but I can't help always going for the hot pot.... Staff are also very friendly and helpful, though recommend bringing separate cash for tips. Hands down my favourite restaurant in all of Liverpool!

Authentic Sichuan taste with reasonable price. Their dry fried intestine is the best. I will definitely come back when I’m in Liverpool next time.

I have been searching for authentic Chinese food here in Liverpool and have found it. Mr Chili's has got everyone beat. Food is served very hot and tasty food, fantastic service, and such a variety of dishes. The Hot and Sour soup is superb and the Gong Bao chicken is the best.

Me and my Malaysian Chinese family Been going to tai pan and chung ku for a long time. Decided to try something new for CNY as we heard those two places weren't as good recently particularly after tai pan was shut down for a long time. This place is Superior in flavour and value. Went once on Saturday and got lots of dishes, went again on Sunday for hotpot. Will make this our regular place going forward.

We can't get enough of this place. Absolutely perfect every time we've been here over the last 5 years (and there have been dozens of visits). Great food, freshly prepared.

11 Guests love it. Thanks Mr Chilli.

£25 for all you can eat hotpot meal. Good value for money. What could be better is the soup and the sauce. Worth trying.

Except fried pork with sweet sauce, we loved every dishes!

The best and great staff. Love it. Going tonight. Davie.

I was in town so I asked two random older guys where I could find the best chicken and can of coke. However they recommended me to have a nice Chinese meal and suggested mr Chillies. I got a chicken curry. It was superb.

Came from them shorts “where’s the best fried chicken and can of coke “ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It was empty but the food was lovely, shared a hot pot..for the 1st time and was a good experience 👌🏻

Mr chicken and a can of Coke recommended this place

Food was disgusting salt and pepper ribs and chicken was rock hard..crispy duck was just bones no meat. Absolutely awful. Would not feed it to a pig

Excellent chinese food, better than the rest of Chinese food in Liverpool. Portion size is generous and price is reasonable. It's not too crazy spicy as well but you can taste the autheticity.

The banquet was great. Good & freshly prepared and served hot. The dishes were varied and plenty of them and the quantity's were very generous. Nice staff and no rush for the table. Prices were very good.

The food was fairly standard for a Chinese in town, had better and worse. The restaurant was not prepared for our group upon arrival, considering it was a booking. The waiter was frankly rude. Ignoring requests several times, very unprofessional. Another didn't really know how to serve to a table without pushing into or leaning over guests. Unable or unwilling to split the bill as we wanted it. Generally, they didn't seem to want to be there or provide services to us. Our party brought the atmosphere so they didn't ruin the night, but returning won't be high on my agenda. Wouldn't recommend.

Better than chicken and a can of coke

Food is good but service is poor. They also tried to slip in an extra person for hotpot. Worth it for the food but check your bill.

A really nice Chinese restaurant well worth a visit Does Chinese hotpot as well recommended

I heard about this place from the chicken and can of coke guy on tik tok and I can tell you this place didn’t disappoint. Great food.

Delicious food and excellent service don’t bypass give it a try you won’t be disappointed. Very satisfied customer!

We got a hot pot and it was honestly one of the tastiest experiences of my life! Such good fun and added points for the bao buns, so delicious!

We got there just as it opened and the restaurant wasn’t ready. We ordered a Char Sui Wonton noodle soup, chicken sweetcorn soup, Sui Mai and Har Gau, Prawn toast The sign of a good restaurant is how fresh everything is and the Char Sui was very poor and not fresh at all, the wontons appeared to be shop bought and not made in house and the noodles where definitely out of a packet and not the fresh egg noodles you get on top Chinese restaurants. The Sui Mai where extremely disappointing and had a very funny taste. No prawn on the top and where definitely bought from a super market. I was very disappointed and dissatisfied with it all to be fair and won’t be coming back. If they want to compete with places like the Mei Mei then they will have to up the quality and learn how to present it better!

My partner and I came here for a late afternoon lunch, as they'd been before, we had the hotpot, which was amazing. You get a cold starter and a choice of different meats and vegetables, but can always order more if your hungry enough. Needless to say we'll be back.

We arrived, they to ask us did we want any drinks. We tried to order two Chinese beers, then they tell us, they can’t sell us any alcoholic drinks. Something to do with the license. Food served on cold plates and bowls. Crispy duck wasn’t crispy. Service was poor, non smiling waiter and waitress. We think the soup was out of a tin.

Other reviews state food is oily but that is standard for sichuan food. The real crime is tgat the food is quite bland, which is a shame as the portions are quite generous so would gave been great value for money if it had more flavour.

Food was really tasty however the experience was let down by the service. We had to ask where our rice was and our meal was near cold when it finally came out. Was tricky to get anyone’s attention when looking to get the bill or pay. I understand that it was a Sunday eve so staff were probably tired out and ready to go home but it wasn’t fair on the customers. Shame cause the food was delicious!

Took a chance on a very busy day in Liverpool. Service excellent staff helpful, nice oriental atmosphere food was fine for most of group but I found mine very salty. Young chow fried rice really nice the meal for two was really good value for money. I would come again but different food this time

Delicious food served by pleasant efficient staff. In times of rising prices we thought we had value for money. Here on a very busy Saturday night we enjoyed the buzz of a very popular restaurant and a range of tasty flavours. Definitely we will be back.

Random choice of restaurant near where we were staying - had a delicious set meal with generous portions - friendly staff, good atmosphere, and would recommend.

Avoid. They clearly forgot about my order when I arrived to pick it up. They spoke over me in Chinese and sighed constant when I asked what was going on as no one would speak to me and there was clearly an issue. They told me they hadn't put the order on yet even though I placed it two hours previous for a selected time as someone had a plane to catch. The ordered was rushed and unfortunately this lead to some very dodgy pink looking chicken. My dad ate some before noticing the color. He has had to leave work early today as he has been throwing up a lot. Mistakes can happen and I get that but its how you handle it, and they handled it very poorly and quite rude. The manager had asked me if I was ok and as I was answering another woman spoke in Chinese explaining the situation and the manager rudely walked away and ignored me during the conversation. Rude Rude Rude.

The staff was rude from going in to going out I wouldn’t recommend this place even for a dog I was very disappointed by the staff very rude avoid I won’t be going there again

We had a wonderful meal at Mr Chilli. The food was incredible, especially the steamed sea bass. They even had a robot waiter!

Awful service. Ordered from Deliveroo, delivery time kept increasing and never arrived. No response from restaurant when I called them

Ever since we discovered we had a fine Szechuan restaurant in Liverpool, we've returned many times. Takeaway only just now, of course, but as excellent as ever - hot and sour soup, bang bang chicken, hotpot rabbit, lamb with cumin, twice-fried pork, Chengdu duck all as fine as ever. Even writing this sends me back for another treat.

¡EVITAR! ! ! ! ! !¡Esta es la peor experiencia de mi vida! ! ! ¡Evita este restaurante! ! ¡Me robaron el dinero! ! Pedí comida por 30 libras y no me entregaron, ¡y dijeron que sí! ! ¡Estoy luchando con ellos para recuperar mi dinero! ! ! ¡No deberían estar funcionando! ¡Esto es inaceptable! ! ¡Lea los comentarios correctamente antes de realizar el pedido, ya que yo no lo hice! ! ! ¡Evitar! ¡EVITAR! ! ! ¡Ladrones!

Best Special Chow Mein I’ve ever had.... full of great ingredients, fresh, hot and absolutely delicious. Ordered a chicken satay too, which was equally as good. Give it a go....well worth a try. 😀

Imagina pedir una comida para llevar y dejarla durante 2 días,Eso es exactamente lo que tenemosHe comido comida callejera en las calles secundarias de Bangkok que era más comestible que esta basuraLas costillas y el pollo teníanSIN CARNE en la mayoría de los huesos,Básicamente sumergieron los huesos en la masa, los frieron y los enviaron como alimento para consumir, como puede ver.Retiró todo el pedido, se le ofreció un 20% de descuento en el próximo pedidoNo, gracias.NO HAGA PEDIDO DESDE AQUÍDesperdiciamos 40

Staff were nice enough "but" the plates came and they were warmish.But by the time the food came, the plates had lost there warmth.The food was not hot enough also. I had chicken fried rice, so I was a bit worried about the chicken and salmonella. Three of us ate and we all had food temperature issues.The decor was nice. Atmosphere was good. Complimentary orange and melon after the meal, so no sweet course required. No problem with the drinks.Prices were middle of the road.Would not go again due to plate and food temperature.Should have complained, but I did not, but I should have done.Also complimentary mints with the bill (nice touch).Went at 7 pm- not too busy.End note: the plates and the food has to be warmer.

5 of us went for an evening meal. The restaurant was about half full and the service was pretty good, very polite and helpful though some communication stumbles and occasionally they forgot items or people were kept waiting for some dishes. The menu consists of some typically English-style dishes at the front then the Sichuan dishes at the back of the menu. We had a mixture but mains from the Sichuan menu. The starters were good - soup, dumplings, spring rolls. Mains - chicken with peanuts, rabbit stew, beef in ginger. The portions are very generous so you may not need a whole one to yourself! It was very tasty but far too much food and a huge amount of the red chillis on the chicken & rabbit dishes which were really difficult to chew and we ended up leaving most of them. The beef dish was lacking in seasoning. Had we been more adventurous we could have tried gizzard, Duck tongue or frog but not really our thing. Neighbouring tables had seafood including lobster and huge prawns which they looked like they were enjoying. It was £25 each with a mixture of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. I wouldn't rush back, but I don't have a very daring palate! (See 'Julia's friend' for her view on the same experience!)

A group of 5 of us enjoyed an authentic Chinese meal here last night - ribs spring rolls and steamed prawn/ pork dumplings were delicious - and very reasonable prices. Service was friendly and reasonable efficient - the mains came quite quickly afterwards - very large portions so next time will prob get 2 between 3 - we ordered mostly off the Szechuan menu which had a huge variety of meat, fish and some veggie dishes ( 1,2 or 3 indicate how spicy the food is ) The rabbit and type of mushroom hot pot was full of delicious interesting aromatic flavours - very spicy; the chicken and peanut dish was delicious too - my beef, spring onion and ginger was a little bland. Rice and noodles perfect -we were left to relax at end of meal which was nice- the restaurant itself is authentic and modestly decorated with large red lanterns hanging from ceiling - it was busy but in a good way with couples/ family and friends groups of 4-6- next time we’ll be braver and try prawn/ mussel poss lobster as well as the aubergine dish ( thru had this on another table ) and a diff hot pot too- good price at £25 each including a 2-3 large drinks each

We went to this resteraunt tonight and was so disopointed .The room was cold to start with.I ordered Chrispy Roast Duck with chinese mushrooms and boiled rice.My wife ordered fried shreded sizzling steak with boiled rice.I have to say this was probably the worst meal we have ever had.Cold and wet.The rice was in one lump and stoddgy.very poor for £38 We will be giving this place a wide berth in future.

If you're here for great service and standard British-Chinese food, you might not like it. Ask for the Sichuan menu, order stuff you've never heard of, it's all fantastic.

Visited last night around 6pm. With it being authentic we saw food being served that we did not recognise from your normal Chinese restaurant. Yes, some of the waitresses struggled a little bit with their English but the waitress who served us was very helpful and polite. We only had soups and dim sum it was enough and very plentiful. Just what we wanted. Would recommend.

Visited lunch time 30/12/2019 arrived at 16:10 and left at just after 19:00 Placed our order and seemed all good, soup was really nice, starters arrived while still eating the plates were cleared away, then he had to wait for duck. Then it seemed that the staff had there lunch were we were left to wait for our mains after waiting 40 mins we reminded them we were still waiting. Desserts I can not comment on as we paid and left before these arrived. The service was awful, they did not seem to care, short staffed, tables were dirty. Such a lovely surrounding but disgusting service worse I have ever experienced. Don't waste your time or money.

Fuimos a comer con amigos, el personal apenas podía entender lo que queríamos del menú. Debido a las barreras del idioma.Uno de nosotros recibió la comida totalmente incorrecta (pero la comió de todos modos para evitar otra conversación incómoda y larga) La comida se trajo rápidamente pero le faltaba una porción de arroz para acompañar mi comida.El personal de 3 se sentó en una mesa todos comiendo su propia comida mientras que los clientes que pagaban se sentaron esperando la comida que debería haber sacado y mi comida se estaba enfriando¿Y finalmente, al final de "su" comida, trajeron nuestros entrantes? que había muerto al vapor, falta total de servicios básicos. El desprecio total por pagar a los clientes y la comida era básico.El aparentemente nuevo miembro del personal masculino obtuvo lo que sonó como un regaño en chino porque nos dijo que la coca no es Coca-Cola, solo cola básica (todavía 3.50) aunqueSé que después de cierta hora de la noche, cuando entran los clientes embriagados, tienden a operar de una manera diferente en lo que respecta al trato al cliente, pero eran las 9:30 p.m. y el lugar estaba bastante muertoNo volveremos nunca más

Busqué en Google "el mejor chino en Liverpool" y este lugar surgió y, como estábamos en la vecindad, decidimos probarlo. La camarera debe haber bajado del bote, ya que no hablaba una palabra de inglés e hizo difícil ordenar, pero puedo vivir con eso. Los entrantes estaban bien, pero los platos principales eran terribles, usan los cortes de carne más baratos y ni siquiera estaba seguro de que la carne fuera realmente carne si entiendes lo que digo, y en cuanto al 'pollo' podría haberlo usado en las plantas de los pies. mis pies. Nunca más.

Really disappointed with the food here. It was plentiful but unpleasant. My dish didn’t arrive and when it did was clearly hastily cooked and tasteless. Chicken was unpleasant and slimy and rice very stodgy. I’m surprised to see such good reviews. Service was friendly but that’s all I can say.

Myself and my friends were forced to pay £12 each for food. We were paying over £60 for cold food. We then complained and the waiter threatened us with sexist comments and violently. The cashier said “shut up or I’ll hit you” with a stapler. Disgusting. Never ever visit.

This isn't your typical chinese resturant. They deal with Sichuan style cooking which is notorious for being HOT.

This has to be the worst meal we have ever eaten. Ordered chilli chicken. The dish arrived smothered in red chillies which were tough and was like eating plastic. The waitress asked us why we didn’t eat it and when I said about the chillies she sad they were only for decoration and Chinese people like them.

Real Chinese restaurant. Very friendly staff. Service is perfect and clean atmosphere. Foods are great. You should try hot pot at least once and this is really perfect place.

If you love exceptional Chinese food then here is the place you need to visit. Having been around thirty times, I have to say, it not only delivers the most sensational and incredible array of Chinese delights but just being in there makes the diner feel like they are eating in exactly the right place.

Fui con uno de mis amigos que se va a Liverpool desde hace 7 años. Este lugar no es un restaurante turístico chino con los mismos platos repetitivos.

Great to get an authentic Sichuan Hotpot again. The last time was in China. Rally enjoyed the meal. Always a good sign when the restaurant is full of Chinese people.

Mojado fui un viernes por la noche y el lugar estaba vacío. El camarero fue grosero y parecía realmente enojado. Teníamos una olla caliente a los 18, era normal. Las salsas estaban buenas y las verduras estaban frescas pero. . . . . . . tanto yo como mi compañero estábamos en el pantano estando enfermos (ambos extremos) por el resto de la noche y la mayor parte del día siguiente. No vayas ahí es mi consejo. Lo peor es que me encantan las ollas calientes, pero después de esto tengo flashbacks y no volveré a otro pronto.

Popped here before comedy club, had the all the you can starter platter, soup was lovley, everything else was just bog standard. Very expensive for what it was, 4 of us went and 3 of us today have very upset stomach. No response from management. Unprofessional

Came here with friends who frequent often so was expecting high standards. They recommended the hot pot, choice of broth followed by choices of meat, fish and vegetables in which to cook the food. From frozen crab sticks to rubbery squid, it was all fairly tasteless undo unappetising. Couldn’t fault the amount of food that was served it’s just that you didn’t really want to eat it! A shame as could have been so good! The staff are lovely though so will probably give it another go but stay away from the hotpot!!!

We were recommended this restaurant and were impressed.The staff were very friendly and helpful as we appeared to be the only english folk eating at the time and needed some guidance.

Walked past here early Saturday evening Liverpool city centre was busy but the restaurant wasn’t and my husband was hungry so we popped in.
