Chilispot - Review - Northwest Columbus - Columbus - The Infatuation

"Kenny Centre, best known as a destination for Japanese groceries and sushi, is also where you’ll find the best spicy Sichuan food in Columbus. The fish is a major highlight, whether deep fried—the Storm Fish Fillet served with chilis, peanuts, and Sichuan peppercorns—or floating in a bright red pond of spicy and numbing chili oil broth. There are plenty of good vegetarian options (tender-crisp, dry-fried string beans) and Sichuan classics like beef in chili oil, kung pao, and a cold noodle that offers a refreshing break from all the fire elsewhere. For those who are sensitive to spice, the restaurant will be happy to adjust your order to a more manageable heat level. If you dine early enough, grab dessert next door at Belle’s Bread, a Japanese bakery known for its pretty cakes, soft serve ice cream, and matcha lattes." - Erin Edwards
