It is closed

The restaurant is not open for business. The site wants more information. So I would suggest you try the Japanese restaurant in the same strip mall. It is fabulous. Some of the best food I've every eaten. The name is Inatei. 9021 Leslie St.

Ala cart meals

Food was very good. Service excellent. Most people there were oriental which is a good sign. Slightly pricey but you are in Canada.

Used to be a super cheap pace to get dimsum and a quick lunch, but recently, they stopped their Cantonese dimsum - likely the chef is gone? So the food selection has really shrunk.

"A-OK"
This restaurant is "A-OK"
But I don't like the seating spots.
Otherwise, 5/5

Some dishes great, some dishes just ok. While I wouldn't go out of my way to come here for dim sum, I would consider returning for their more northern style specialties, like all things with spice.

True to their name, they certainly know how to turn up the heat especially on their Dan Dan noodles.

They also have this giant ceramic urn thingy in the corner, that one can easily mistaken for the... more

Went for dinner.. my girlfriend's family ordered the food.. none of which I liked.. The Lamb stew wasn't tender enough. If you're not familiar with the dishes, be careful of what you order as the dish may come drenched in a base of oil. Perhaps there's some better dishes they have so the remainder of comments are based on service.

Chinese restaurants aren't known for great service and maybe... more

Nothing super special about this place, but I am giving this place 4 stars because an average dim sum place in the east end is worthy of at least 3 stars especially when you are from Mississauga.

What I really like about this place;

-dim sum is made to order
-northern dim sum as well (pork soup dumplings, xiao long bao, etc.)

-price: it is either 2.20 or 2.50 for regular dim sum on weekdays... more

I ate at Chilli Secret one time only.
It was on Mother's Day so the restaurant was busy.
The restaurant seems to be popular in this strip mall.

The restaurant is big and divided into 2 rooms (left and right)
and a private or third room in the back.

I felt uncomfortable sitting in this restaurant (chaotic atmosphere).
My table was in the right side of the restaurant (the smaller room / not the... more

Authentic Chinese Food

If you like Chinese food then Chilli Secret is a good choice provided you don't mind slow service.
I have been to CS several times and have never been disappointed. The food is always prepared fresh and tastes good. They seem to have quite a taste for spicy items hence the name Chilli Secret. I love spicy foods so that... more

ate here a couple of times for dim sum and its pretty good but ohhhhhhhhh boy we came here for diner and wanted to try something different....we ordered 4 dishes that showed 3 spices in the menu and my god it was not a good nite....if you can handle really spicy food with the dishes feeled with spicy hot peppers then give it a shot, but if not then dont bother ordering or else you will have... more

Spicy Spicy Spicy - The name is apt for this restaurant

30 Sec Summary
-----------------------
1.Everything has chilli in this restaurant
2. Think bold flavors with pungency and spiciness resulting from liberal use of garlic and chili peppers
3. Unique flavour of the Sichuan peppercorn
4. Try the seafood and chilli fish dishes
5. Prefer eating in to takeout as the portions are much bigger

Located just by Time Square, Chili secrets gets lots of traffic for both lunch and dinner service. It serves up a fusion of Cantonese, Szechuan and Shanghai cuisines.

The restaurant is a decent size, but like most Chinese dim sum places, they don't offer too much space between tables. The decor is relatively clean and simple, but they definitely tried to add in some character with the nicer... more

This is another restaurant that I would cite as a classic example of a 3.5 star restaurant. Why? Simply put, I would rate the dim sum experience as a 4-star, and the regular dining experience as a 3-star. Average those out, and voila, Bob's your uncle (does anybody say that anymore?).

Let's talk about dim sum first. The quality of each dish that we ordered (the usual har gaw, siu mai, chang... more

They have 2 dishes I cannot get enough of - Szechuan Dan Dan Noodle & Bean Curd Thread Salad. Addictive!!

Up until last Sunday, I've only had dim sum at Chili Secret. I came here with my family and we ordered the set meal things (again I can't read Chinese so... yeah)

Besides the waitress spilling tea all over my grandma, the food was SO salty and very msg-y. All of it was like that... so I didn't really eat much that night. It really wasn't good..

So the verdict: Come here for dim sum but... more

once, twice, thrice

yeah that's how many times i'm going to review this place. i'm giving it a fair shot.

on sunday went here for dim sum. and we arrived just after 12.30pm surprisingly we didn't need to wait and got a table near the front of the restaurant.

there's push cart and a la carte dim sum service. but mainly it's a la carte though.

i wasn't feeling overly hungry for lunch that... more

Weirdd, I gotta disagree.. I liked their food and the service was very good maybe because my friend frequented the place.. But the staff is really friendly :) and the sichuan dishes were authentic! I guess i had a different experienc since I didn't go there for the dim sum but rather the actual dishes.

Went here w/ my relatives (16 ppl in total) on the weekend. We had a private room at the back & I believe the bill was just under $300. Not too bad!

It's a Northern Chinese restaurant. I'm sure it is prob. better with the dim sum during the day. But for dinner the dishes were just average. Or maybe cuz I had really good Chinese food the night before ;)

I thought the lobster was a bit bland.... more

Dropped by here on a weekday for lunch! Yes, Chili Secrets is a Northern Chinese restaurant however it becomes a dim sum restaurant during the day! This is what I call being flexible! :)

However, you can still order the Northern dim sums with the Cantonese dim sums! Yes this make everyone happy!

We arrived just before 12:00 and the restaurant is half emptied! We got seated promptly! Even the... more

We go here all the time for dim sum. It's a good deal, $2.05 for Small, medium, and large Dim Sum items. We usually load up on the Shimp dumplings.
After going there for at least a dozen times (we go once every 2 weeks or so), we're noticing the service really drops off sharply when they are busy.
We went last week, and it was the worst it has even been...they forgot our tea at first, then they... more

When fully packed, this is one of those places where you wish you spoke the language. You're waiting in line for 15 minutes, someone comes in, they talk, and then they get immediate seating. I start thinking, do they have reservations? Do they know the owner? Are they sisters? Did she slip in $20 for a table? You suddenly just wanna get outta there.

I stuck around and ended up sharing a round... more

One night the whole family was there for dinner, the following dishes were ordered:

Beef with Stir-fried Onion
Stir-fried Fish with Vegetables
Hot Pot Stir-fry
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Sesame and Sugar Coated Taro
Eight Treasure Rice
Yeung Chow Fried Rice
Seafood Soup
Sweet Sticky Rice Ball Soup (dessert)

We loved the dishes however, we waited a long time since the place was packed. Instead of... more

Good for dimsum, not so good for dinner

Good for dimsum, not so good for dinner.

After driving by this place a number of times, we decided to try it. They do take reservations for larger parties, and they are usually very busy.

I don't know enough about Chinese Cuisine completely define what they do, but it did taste very 'authentic'.

Naturally the cooking featured chilies and lots of them. We ordered a chicken dish that featured both chilies and star anise. It was... more
