Red Chili Restaurant - Syracuse

As someone visiting from out of town, I was happy to find a dim sum restaurant close to the airport. The restaurant features a welcoming atmosphere, but the service felt inconsistent.

Beautiful restaurant with great food! Service was great and everything was fresh and delicious. Our waiter advised us well and we got sooo much food for a great price. Obsessed!!
