The 14 Best Chinese Restaurants In Houston - Houston - The Infatuation
"When you need a massive dose of Sichuan pepper, go to Spices39 in The Heights. The Sichuan and Cantonese restaurant has a heavy hand with spice, especially dishes like the Spices39 chicken swimming in electric chili oil or boiling beef that will numb your palette for two hours—a small price to pay for a terrific, filling meal. And that doesn’t even matter because you’ll probably be too busy loading up your plate with more boiling beef and dandan noodles to notice. Try a fried garlic barbecue pork rib between peppercorn zaps for a brief reprieve before diving back in again. Or come for Happy Hour to go all in on Sichuan flavor with spiced peanuts between steamer baskets of xiao long bao and $8 house cocktails." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
