Sho Spicy

This food was dreadful. The spicy and pickled cabbage weren't bad, but I thought the cuts with the cabbage were too big. This resulted in bigger pieces instead of smaller ones, which made them messy eats. That bacon and cauliflower concoction was horrendous! The cuts weren't even with the cauliflower, and that bacon looked like sausage and had a funky order, as if it was sour! It didn't even taste fresh either, needless to say it gave me an upset stomach! That beef and cilantro soup was bland and flavorless, and I will most likely donate it to my favorite place, the trash! The beef was super tiny so you couldn't even enjoy eating the beef with the soup having so much broth. Very disjointed. For the money spent, not worth it. With there being better places to get similar dishes around the area, I'd stick to those.

We love the food here. The service is fast and great too. Very nice and professional. Dining in and take out are both excellent. Hunan chicken and salt pepper shrimp are my favorite to order in here .

We had another amazing lunch today at Sho Spicy! The staff and owner are always so great and will customize any dish. Great variety of authentic Szechuan or more basic American style dishes.

Absolutely amazing experience. The food was delicious — every dish was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The waitstaff was incredibly friendly and attentive without being overbearing. You can really tell they care about both the food and the service. Definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve been to in a while. I’ll definitely be coming back!

This place is amazing! Went here with 3 friends on a Saturday night. Service was SO quick (less than 10 minute wait after we ordered) and out waitress was so kind. The food was amazing. We ordered steamed rice with Shan City chicken, eggplant with spicy garlic sauce (my fav), house combination fried rice, and mapo tofu. I’d recommend all of them, but the Shan City chicken was only OK. The sauces in the tofu and eggplant were amazing over steamed rice.

Coconut and Bang Bang Shrimp are excellent. Salt and Pepper Prawn Entree and Dry Numb is very spicy at two chili pepper rating. I would highly recommend a green tea to finish the meal.

As for Chinese food, it's pretty good compared to others, but it ain't no Hong Kong Star in Acworth. But I liked it! Great Mongolian Beef and Kung Pow.

BEST PLACE IN TOWN I absolutely love this place!! It was out first time here. We ordered the massam curry and the shrimp curry pineapple fried rice. I didn't want the pineapple and it was removed. Absolutely delicious! I will be back to try more from this restaurant.

Me and my family came here thinking this place would be very expensive and sketchy. We ordered an orange chicken, sesame chicken, and many more delicious food! The food came out on time and even a little bit faster than thinking when it was going to come out. The food ended up tasting amazing and very flavorful!!! The service as well was very good, always making sure we had enough water or what we needed! I would recommend this place!!!

This is a follow up to my previous review... The management team at Sho Spicy reached out to me and issued me a full refund. I want to thank them for staying on top of this. Possibly they had an off night my day of service, but the customer service is top tier!

Mongolian beef was a bit sweet. The fried rice really tasted like normal rice. I'm from the Midwest where our fried rice is darker and full of flavor so if that's what you are used to you won't like this. Portion size was good though.

12/28/2022 (geez...almost a year before posting 11/30/2023) Afternoon. Nice ambiance Fragrant delicious smell from kitchen Tried 2 dishes Lettuce wraps with chicken..omg flavorful. Savor every bite. Lettuce crisp and fresh. Beef with Cilantro Soup. Large bowl! My main course. Couldn't eat all of it. Definitely could be shareable with another person. Green tea. Loved the idea of having a pot and pour as you need. $2.50. Worth it! Spent under $22 for my meal. Young lady/hostess was nice. Periodic check-in. Didn't rush you. Patient with whatever question I had. I'll definitely add this to my rotation of restaurants when in the area. 11/30/2023....they should know me by now! I'm in there at least once a month. I'll actually plan on going tomorrow, 12/1/2023. Food is sooo good here...always hot! Many dishes to try.

Food is amazing came here with my family and excellent food and ambience service was on it! I would recommend

Just enjoyed takeout from Sho Spicy again! Delicious as always . . . Fresh, tasty, well-seasoned, and well-prepared. Sho Spicy never disappoints. They honor your requests, making sure you get the full-on Szechuan heat or the less-than-melting palate mild seasoning. If you like to get your spicy heat on, or if you like your Chinese take-out on the mild size, you'll definitely enjoy this delicious food.

Oh my! So good. The food and the customer service was amazing. I can't believe I've lived down the street for a year and have never been. Now I'll be a regular

Sho Spicy is my go-to restaurant for Chinese takeout. The food is always fresh and the portions last me about 3 meals. My favorite thing on the menu is the Kung Pao Chicken. It comes with a side of white rice (you can upgrade for fried rice - but in my opinion it isn't worth it. Their fried rice is very lackluster. There are minimal veggies & egg...not worth the extra charge). As an app, I love the Veggie Spring Rolls - so crispy and delish! While I've only eaten inside the restaurant once, it was a great experience! It was very quiet - my group was one of the only tables, as it was a weeknight. The service was friendly and the food came out quickly!

I wasn't expecting to get great flavors and mostly authentic chinese food in the area, but my friend said he found a joint that he and his family really enjoyed so I had to give it a try. I will say that the flavors overall are big and bold, but you have to choose the right items. Also, some dishes were a mix of Americanized and Chinese, which is common considering the business needs to cater to the palates of their local clientele. Anyway, we ordered: Hunan chicken: This was probably my least favorite. Chicken was decent, but I've never been a fan of chicken breast meat. Flavors were all right too, but couldn't compare to the other dishes. I feel like this is a "safe" dish for people just getting introduced to Szechuan food. Szechuan fish/Bamboo fish: This was fish filets fried with crispy peppers and onions, and it blew our minds. The batter was surprisingly light and not too greasy, and the flavors were hearty, warming, and amazing. I think we could have ordered 2 of these dishes and been happy. Szechuan green beans: This was more like green beans sauteed/blistered in a hot wok with bean sauce (the Szechuan sauce staple). It was good and close to what you'd expect when you order green beans at a Chinese restaurant. By the way, don't knock it til you try it--Chinese children eat their vegetables because of this dish (and all the other amazing veggie dishes we have, but this is definitely a crowd favorite). Hot and spicy beef wrap: I was expecting a more...authentic wrap, but it was literally a flour tortilla wrapped with a ton of shredded lettuce and a tiny bit of beef that was ultra salty and hit you with a bang! I guess I was expecting more of a cilantro-y, Taiwanese kind of beef wrap, but they were smart in the ratio of their salt and fillers, so it worked out. Hot and spicy pot (something like that?): This was actually quite spicy, and my friend got hit with some of those Szechuan peppercorns pretty hard, but it was enjoyable. There's only a tiny bit of glass noodles, which was a bit disappointing because I thought there'd be more, but there's a whole bunch of random stuff in this pot and if you like classic Szechuan flavor, then you will love this! Overall, it's a good mix of American and Chinese. You can tell that they know their Szechuan flavors, and their traditional dishes really shine. Not a bad place to check out if you're really craving Szechuan in the area.

I get them on Uber Eats and I get the same thing EVERY TIME.... Mongolian Beef !!!!!!! So good. For the most part the consistency of the taste every time I order it is on par (please keep that up! ) I really should try something else on their menu to be honest but I just love that dish so much it's hard! I've never went into the establishment and I have no idea where they are actually located so I can't comment on the service or ambiance but I wouldn't mind checking them out.

Really delicious! Nice portions. Followed special instructions exactly! Who would imagine that we could get such delivery on Thanksgiving? We loved it!!!

When I was living just outside Palo Alto, I experienced an amazing Sichuan Restaurant that served me a Cumin Lamb that made my mouth tingly, cool and numbing. Please, this is not a bad thing if you LOVE spicy food. It added to the immense pleasure of eating!!!!! So I stumble on Sho Spicy and sure enough, some of their menu items said "numbing spice" Well, after Yeats of searching for a place that could replicate the Palo Alto experience....SHO SPICY came damn close. The only knock I have is that their wonton in the soup seem to have no meat!! That was disappointing having the feeling of just eating the wrapper. The waitress had the chef make the Cumin lamb with numbing spice and it was simply an amazing dish that I will come back to have!!! Highly recommend this place....id have given them a 5 star review.. if they had better wonton soup!!!

horrible. pepper isnt the only spice....... good lord. I wouldn't feed this to a dog. Caked in black pepper. Gross

So I seen some reviews that said that this was one of the best Chinese food restaurants in the area. I haven't had the Best luck with Chinese food down here, I've had some really good Chinese food, but I am looking for great I guess. So I know this is going to sound weird but the bag had a lot of heft to it. The bag was actually pretty heavy so it made me realize the fact that they didn't feel like they were skimping on the food. You know some places you'll go get some food and it'll be really light as if they only tried to give you half the amount or stuff most of it with air? No, this bag has some heft and I can appreciate that. The place is really nice and clean and very decorated. They had tables and there were plenty of tables to say that soul sound like his a carryout only kind of spot. It's also not like it's cramped or anything like that so I thought that was good. The way it looks I probably would not mind actually sitting down for a meal. As soon as I walked in they were super nice and friendly. My order was already waiting there when I got there. I don't know how long it been sitting there but I feel like they could have left it in a warm container before they just left it out on the table letting it get cold. But it's not the end of the world. Either way it goes, the guy who greeted me was super nice and very quick about it. I tried this establishment and I was not disappointed. I got some chicken wings, egg drop soup,spring rolls, and the sesame chicken. The rolls were decent,hot and fresh even after the car ride home the soup was decent as well. The chicken wings came in a foil lined bag in order to keep them hot while you are doing carryout. It's similar to what Popeyes did with their chicken sandwich to make sure that you still can get a hot sandwich even after you leave the restaurant. So I actually appreciate it that! Your chicken was super hot and golden brown and had a pretty good flavor to it. A lot of crunch on it as well. The sesame chicken was good as well. The sesame chicken and the fried rice also had a lot of flavor and they did not skimp on the sauce. And a chicken had a superior amount of heat to it. A lot of times you'll get chicken with sauce on it that tastes more sweet even though they denote on the menu that it's supposed to be spicy. No, this time they actually got it right with a perfect balance of sweet and spicy. They even shopped up the little peppers to go in there just to help it along. And believe me, you know when you buy to know one of those! I would 100% go back.

Ordered take out and the food was horrible. The fried rice tasted old and stale. The Red Curry with Chicken was disgusting. The chicken was like gummy and the meal had such a weird flavor, opposite of red curry. Trashed it all.

Absolutely amazing meal - staff was overly kind and attentive - we both ordered 3 courses and spent barely any money. They just gained a repeat customer for sure!

We've only gotten delivery and it's always been great! (though very expensive with the delivery fees, unfortunately). The wonton with chili oil is so good! It's like a deliciously spicy wonton soup! We also typically get the spicy numbing dry pot which is also super spicy and the hunan chicken which is so flavorful. I just wish it was closer or delivery was cheaper, but it is wonderful szechuan in the Atlanta area.

This is my go to now for Chinese food. My favorites are the crispy beef or the classic general tso's chicken. Yesterday was my fist time eating inside; I usually get it to-go. The customer service was stellar. I went for the general chicken last night, but my friend ordered beef with 3 peppers. It was decent. A little chewy for me but good flavor. My chicken had more red pepper flakes than normal. I think bc my friend ordered hers extra spicy and they added to both dishes. It wasn't too hot, but I didn't need the extra spicy.

Love ordering food from this restaurant. There's almost no delivery fee if you call them directly. Also, good for dine-in. However, the prices of dishes are not cheap & can be pricey. They have quite a variety dishes from non spicy to very spicy with lots of red numbing peppers. Even though some dishes have lots of red peppers, the actual dish itself is not that spicy. They were added for flavoring. Some recommended dishes are below: Deep Fried Eggplant Green Curry Chicken 3 Mushrooms Chicken Pickled Cabbage Fish Soup Cumin Lamb Braised Fish in Chilli Oil Mixed Seafood in Clay Pot

When I walked in the restaurant, I definitely thought the food would be overpriced because of how gorgeous the interior looked, but the menu surprised me. The food is in fact quite reasonable. It was a cold afternoon so we ordered a tea pot of hot jasmine tea that cost about $5.95 For appetizer we ordered some crab rangoon (the shell was quite crispy but I was not a huge fan of the filling), we got the chicken coconut soup which was so amazing (the flavor of the cilantro mixed with the shrimp and the coconut was mouthwatering), the last thing we got for the appetizer was the numbing beef rolls- they were served cold as its supposed to be and we loved them. For entrees- we ordered the fried rice, spicy garlic eggplant and hot n numbing chicken (for me- it was alright because everything had a sweet taste to it) but I'm sure you'll enjoy it if you don't like very hot food. The staff here are very welcoming and sweet so that's always a plus. It's a great date night place because of how pretty it looks. Don't worry about parking at all because there's always plenty of parking available right in front of the restaurant.

They had the worst sesame chicken I have ever had. The spices were bland, the chicken was iffy , and there were probably 5 sesame seeds on the entire order. Some dishes there are fine, but avoid the sesame chicken at all costs.

Got takeout: (1) double cooked pork and (2) spicy dry fried eggplant. Rounded out to about $33 without tip. Both came with white rice. (1) double cooked pork: okay but very fatty and oily. Cooked with thick green onion slices or maybe it's a different type of vegetable. Idk it's almost a little too decadent. (2) dry fried eggplant: sautéed with herb stems and peppers. Pretty good, the pieces are thick with the crust sort of crunchy while the inside is very soft. Spice level was around mild/medium but if you're sensitive to spice, I wouldn't recommend this dish. Portions are very large, each order could last for 2-3 meals. Service: super nice and polite, they had my order ready in less than 10 minutes. Overall: I would recommend this place for a casual lunch spot to try (seems to have lunch specials for $9.95)

I was in the area and had a craving for Dan Dan Noodles. This place is pretty low key, staff was friendly and service was fast. The Dan Dan noodles and the egg roll were just okay, not sure if I would visit again. Inside is a decent size and was pretty empty when I dined here. This restaurant is located in a plaza so parking is not an issue even though it can get crowded.

Love this spot, best chinese food in the area that I have tried. The cumin lamb, Dan Dan noodles, and coconut chicken soup stand out for me. Service is great as well.

Ordered delivery with some dietary requests. I received a phone call informing me that this dish could not adapted to my specifications. I greatly appreciated that my request was even considered and staff went beyond to make a phone call. I ordered another dish for pick up the next day. It was packed perfectly, hot, fresh and met my dietary request. I will order again for my family.

Great food. We arrived by 6 PM so restaurant wasn't busy. Fast service, fresh, hot food. We had orange chicken - delicious.

Great selection of food! Service is amazing too! And not far from the city. Definitely recommend.

Amazing Chinese food in the area!! Very nice employees too ! I got the cheese wontons and chicken and broccoli, Both were delicious

Whoever chef was yesterday cooked Panang Chicken like none I have ever had. Absolutely dry with no sauce, wouldn't even stick to rice, and potatoes? Never seen potatoes in Panang.

If I could give 10 stars I would! Whether I dine-in or takeout Sho Spicy never fails, the food is consistently tasty, they are always quick and friendly. The restaurant is never crowded so I always get in and out which I love, this place is definitely worth a try.

I ordered the spicy beef soup and my boyfriend ordered the bbq ribs. My soup was spicy and the broth it's self had some flavor... but all together with the noodles and bok Chou just tasted very plain. The noodles felt like regular thing spaghetti noodles to me and tasted like it too. There wasn't really much flavor with everything. Unfortunately I didn't like it... my boyfriend thought the ribs were okay. Wasn't anything he would get again, they had some flavor as well, but still everything was plain. We were sure we were gonna like it because it had 4 and a half stars.. I didn't even finish my bowl of soup. It was late at night so no one was in there. I'm guessing they're covid friendly, everything was very spacious

Is it possible to marry a restaurant you only went to once? Get an ordained minister, I'll put on a dress and stand in front of the place, and we'll find out. The sauce that comes with the xiao long bao makes it. Savory, maybe a hint of citrus if my tastebuds aren't fried. The General Tso's chicken was perfect - cooked just right, saucy, and spicy. The lady who gave me my order was very kind! Didn't have the chance to eat in, but the restaurant looked nice! 10/10

This spot is sho good! I'm grateful this place is open late. My son and I were heading home late at night after an event and wanted to stop somewhere to eat. I did a quick Yelp search and landed on Sho Spicy. We ordered the following: Wonton soup $3.95 Edamame $5.95 Mongolian beef $14.95 Fried fish and tofu $17.95 Sichuan style dry fried eggplant $14.95 Yes, that's a lot of food for two people but we were hungry! The portions are generous and great for sharing. The wonton soup and mongolian beef were my son's orders, but we shared everything else. The food was fresh and flavorful. The eggplant was spicy, just like I wanted and expected! We had lots of leftovers which we ate for the next day and a half. The space used to be Tasty China's. The decor and layout haven't changed since switching. Plenty of free parking in the shopping center. Staff was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!

Very good. I want to go by and try the Kung Po chicken. The Mongolian beef was just right, tender and tasty. My friend got the General Tso's Chicken and I had a bite, also tender and tasty. Her son got a specialty that was a pork in Numbing sauce. I was too scared of "numbing" sauce, but I tried a bite. The bite wasn't too hot. I think you feel it more after a bit, but he says you are numbed and can handle it. The bite I had was crispy and so flavorful. Would like to go back and get one of those too. The hot and sour soup was good, and we had the Dan Dan Noodle appetizer, and it was wonderful.

This restaurant is a favorite. My brother and I often have dinner there. It has a nice ambiance, Open airy and a bar if one desires. I have the eggplant in a clay pot. And my brother had the Lo mien . I do not like it spicy and they accommodate d me. Extremely fresh, hot and delicious. My brother's dish was also delicious. The staff goes out of their way for service and accommodation. It may not be the fanciest, but is is always spot on with the food they serve. Also to mention, the food comes out quick. This place is a keeper.

Not sure if my experience conflicts with the other reviewers because I got take out, but I'm writing this review moments after throwing away 80% of my food out of absolute disgust. Ordered the hot & sour soup and the steamed dumplings for a quick lunch. 1. Hot and sour soup. Not really sure what was happening in this soup. Hot and Sour soup is traditionally my favorite soup, but this was way off. For a moment, I thought I saw a pig's toe in there, but talked myself out of it. I still don't know what it was. The only ingredient I recognized was the tofu. Red specks float around the soup. There were no mushrooms. No carrots. No bamboo shoots. None of the traditional ingredients I've seen in hot and sour soups. Poured it out after two bites. I grumbled and ate a few of the soup wonton chips that came with the soup. 2. Dumplings were delivered cold, so I tossed them on the skillet for a few moments. After a few moments, I took a bite. The dumpling skin is thick, thick, thick. The pork (I think) inside was tasteless without any flavor. No hints or traditional ginger, scallions or anything to make it memorable. The dumplings were served with a vinegary sauce that was laden with garlic, but the sauce itself couldn't even save these dumplings. Ate 2 out of the 6 dumplings and into the trash they went.

My partner ordered the Eggplant with Spicy Garlic Sauce earlier this week, and I loved it! So I knew I wanted to grab lunch from this restaurant when I was craving spicy food yesterday. I got the Bang Bang Shrimp, Bokchoy with Minced Garlic, and Spicy Numbing Dry Pot with Chicken. The latter was very fulfilling but lacked salt. There wasn't anything too special about the bokchoy, which had a strong garlic flavor but still tasted healthy. I'd probably try this place again, but I know I won't ever order the Bang Bang Shrimp, which reminded me of orange chicken.

Really fabulous neighborhood gem!!! Sandy Springs (ITP! You don't have to drive to Buford!! Yes Buckhead, this means you too can drive 5 minutes and have excellent quality Chinese food with great service.). First, the owner "Sho" is fantastic. He has a great set of recipes that remind me of authentic southern Chinese food. Definitely come and check out the menu. It's varied and they have several large tables with lacy susans in the middle for large group meals where you can share many dishes. Definitely try any of the hot pots. Try the potatoes as well. Dan Dan are excellent. And the egg plant is to die for!!

Always great food. And always fresh! Win win. Hunan chicken is one of the best on the menu. Garlic chicken is amazing as well.

We were looking for outside eating at an early bird special time frame. No luck for outside but we were the only one's in the place. We didn't really love the dish with pork belly, it was pretty fatty. The Mongolian beef was fantastic, the fried eggplant and garlic eggplant were both delicious. Service was fast n attentive.

The best Szechuan and American Chinese food I've eaten off of Buford Highway or at Chinatown Mall Ching Qing Hot Pot. I highly recommend Sho Spicy for your Szechuan or typical takeout needs! This is handily the best Chinese food anywhere in the area. The House Combo Lo Mein was honestly some of the best Lo Mein I've ever had. Just the right amount of oily and very delicious brown sauce in the stir fry. The Shiitake and Bokchoy with Chicken added was supremely simple and subtle. Just the right amount of ginger and garlic tones and a delicious broth. Perfectly cooked chicken and veggies. The hot and numbing combo delivered. I got it as hot as they could make it and was alternating between a numb tongue and sweating buckets. Every single item in the hot pot was perfectly cooked and the presentation was spot on

We've ordered take out from here a few times and been at the restaurant once. It looks like people mostly order to go. Food is always consistent. The salt and pepper ribs, bamboo shoots with chicken are a must. I will say this last time, their fortune cookies were stale, but the food they make is delicious. That one time we did dine in, service was ok at best. It felt a bit like we were being bothering the server whenever we requested something. It was disappointing especially since there wasn't that many people.

I would like to share an experience I had at Sho Chinese restaurant in Roswell on 10/27/23. I was in the area for a work related trip and had a taste for Chinese food. I placed my order for pick up. My order was incorrect so I brought it to the cashier's attention. He was very disrespectful. He told me it was my fault for not being clear when I placed my order, at no point did he offered a solution or an apology. He continued to argue and wouldn't give me a chance. He finally told me it would be best for me not to come back to his restaurant. This was my first time ordering from this restaurant and was very disappointed by how disrespectful and unprofessional the representative was. I was truly turned off by the service I received which sometimes is more important than the food.

Sho Spicy is like Tasty China Sandy Springs, but with a new name. I think the interior has been spruced up, but not significantly, and the menu is largely the same; at least, for all the Sichuan items I like to get. If you are/were a fan of Tasty China, you should be mostly satisfied with Sho Spicy. As has been well-documented in my Yelp reviews for over a decade now, I've always been a big fan of Tasty China. It's not for everyone, but I love how Tasty China's chefs liberally use Sichuan peppercorns in many of their dishes. To me, it makes a big difference. It's what brings the "ma" part of the "mala" cooking (numbing and spicy) that Sichuan cuisine is known for. To date, I've yet to encounter a Sichuan restaurant that brings the mala as consistently intense as Tasty China (Marietta and Smyrna) does. While the spice levels are still satisfyingly high here at Sho Spicy, I do think the numbing levels have been backed down (to my disappointment). Again, it's not for everyone, so I understand if that was a decision to conservatively appeal to a wider range of palates, especially in Sandy Springs and Buckhead. Sho Spicy replaced Tasty China Sandy Springs (https://bit.ly/3vmXibb) in the Fountain Oaks shopping center sometime in or around July 2020. This is the same shopping center as Kroger on Roswell Road, inside the perimeter. Tasty China Sandy Springs had opened in September 2018 so it lasted less than two years. I have a sneaking suspicion Sho Spicy might be part of the same metro Atlanta network of Sichuan restaurants that includes Urban Wu in Buckhead, Hai in Decatur, and Wei in Marietta, but I could be wrong. For more on that, see my review of Wei: https://bit.ly/3wA8pxI. The dining room is spacious and nicely decorated. During my visit, it was clean and still looked relatively fresh and new. For bigger groups, they have round tables with Lazy Susans which are great for large group dining. The menu is pretty solid with apps like A6. Beef Tendon & Tripe in Chili Oil ($9.95) and A9. Wood Ear Mushrooms with Wild Peppers ($6.95). There's a lot of good "authentic" stuff under the "Chef's Specialty" and "Classic Sichuan Cuisine" sections of the menu such as B3. Braised Fish (or Beef/Chicken) in Chili Oil ($15.95) and B6. Double-Cooked Pork ($13.95). They have "Americanized" Chinese selections too, of course, with $8.95 lunch specials offered weekdays, 11:00am-3:30pm, and $11.95 dinner specials. Here's what I got: A2. Dan Dan Noodles ($7.95) - Chinese egg noodles, ground pork (beef also an option, peanuts, scallions, chili paste C6. Cumin Lamb ($20.95) - sliced lambed, cumin, onion, cilantro, red peppers, sesame seeds, jalapeno C8. Salt & Pepper Squid ($19.95) - shrimp also an option V1. Sichuan-Style Dry Fried Eggplant ($13.95) V12. Snow Pea Tips with Minced Garlic ($14.95) V21. Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce ($14.95) In general, the food was good and the portion sizes were fair to generous. I was quite happy with the portions of the snow pea tips in particular. There was a $1-3 difference per dish between the print menu at the restaurant and the online menu. I ordered and paid online using Sho Spicy's online platform, qMenu (https://www.qmenu.us/). The qMenu prices were anywhere from $1-3 more per dish. For example, at the restaurant, the Cumin Lamb and Salt & Pepper Squid were $17.95 and $16.95, respectively. Online, they were $20.95 and $19.95, respectively. I placed my order on a Monday at 6:15pm and it was ready at 6:31pm. Fast. The lead time I was given was 20 minutes so they beat the estimate. My order was sitting and waiting for me at the front when I arrived. The dining room was empty except for one table and my takeout order was the only one ready for pickup, at least out front. My order was packed securely, included five boxes of steamed white rice, chopsticks, fortune cookies, several packets of duck and soy sauce (which I did not use), and super cheap disposable fork-napkin sets The takeout containers, though, were good quality. Thanks to server Sophie at the restaurant. I ordered a lot of my longtime (in general) favorite dishes and there were no surprises except for the Salt & Pepper Squid. This was my first time having Salt & Pepper Squid prepared Sichuan-style with red peppers. I prefer the Cantonese version, which is drier and has a lighter, more crispy batter. In this regard, I still think Canton Cook II does it best. Some pieces of the Cumin Lamb were tougher than average, but the flavor was good. I just wished the lamb and the Dry Fried Eggplant had more Sichuan peppercorns for that wonderful, tingly, numbing sensation. The spiciness was definitely there, however. The Dan Dan Noodles were rich and flavorful. The noodles had excellent texture and the spicy oil sauce was full of umami. Both the Snow Pea Tips and the Chinese Broccoli were fresh and delicious; simple yet yummy and gratifying. I recommend all of these dishes except for maybe the Salt & Pepper Squid.

Came here for their lunch specials ($8.95 and up) on a weekday 6 weeks ago, and we were the only customers dining in at 11:40 am. Sho Spicy is located in south end of the Fountain Oaks Shopping Center, and could easily be missed due to the many neighboring small businesses. Parking is easy to find in the large, shared free parking lot. As soon as we entered the main dining area, we were immediately welcomed by an employee who seated us quickly. The inside of the restaurant looks great and practically new, with lots of comfortable looking booths and nice wooden chairs and tables. During the time we were in the restaurant, around 4 take out orders were picked up at the cash register. I ordered the Kung Pho chicken lunch special, and R ordered the Mongolian Beef lunch special. We didn't have to wait very long for our meals, probably 10 minutes at the most. I was disappointed in the spice level of the Kung Pho dish. The menu indicated that the spiciness was rated as two chili peppers, but I would personally rate this as one chili pepper. It was confusing to me that there were so many inedible red chili pepper skins in the entree but the spiciness just was lacking. R said that his Mongolian Beef sauce was too sweet. The amount of food provided was good, especially at the reasonable lunch special prices. The service level was good, and our server came by to check on us many times to see if we needed anything and to refill our water glasses. There are a lot more entrees, including vegetarian, to check out on their varied menu.

Food and service was phenomenal. We had General Tso's Chicken and The Broccoli with Chicken... Definitely will be coming back to try more dishes.

Inattentive waitress. Might as well Help yourself. Food is ok sometimes too salty. Not going back may be online orders

Things you need to know about this place -Small portion -too expensive. -Not authentic Szechuan food. -Veggie always more then meat. -all the soup is so thin, and taste like instant noodle seasoning. -staff is polite The portion is so small you probably have to order 8 or more dishes in order to fill 4people Definitely would not recommend. I would give 0 star is I can.

Ordered from this restaurant for the first time and was shocked at how pathetic it was. General Tso's chicken tastes like it was made yesterday and reheated, the spring roll tastes like chlorine, and the wontons in the soup have barely a whisper of meat in them. Save yourself and your money and order from somewhere else.
