Had lunch at Spices 39 today and it was delicious! The hostess and our server were both very friendly, upbeat, and attentive. We were the only ones seated in the upstairs area when we went, and the ambiance is very cozy. Parking was super easy, there is an attached lot.
We had the hot and sour soup, the mixed fruit buns, and the pan fried chicken dumplings to start. The hot and sour soup was the best I've had in Houston, my new favorite. Perfectly spiced with a sour tanginess and not just broth, plenty of mushrooms, egg, tofu, etc. inside. We also loved the dumplings. Very flavorful and cooked perfectly. The fruit buns, though very cute and fluffy, were a miss for us. They were very blend and the filling was just kind of "eh" but again.. they were SO cute.
The sesame chicken and the kung pap tofu were both delicious. Generous portions, fresh ingredients and everything came out hot, and lots of flavor in the sauces.
They do bring the food out as it is ready, so my boyfriend's food came out a bit before mine. This was not a problem at all for us and I personally prefer restaurants that do this, but I do know this annoys some people so I figured it was worth a mention.
I saw a few posts on here about how good it was, so had to share as well. Will definitely be back there soon!
