spicy & cloud restaurant

This was some of the best Chinese food I have had in a long time. Everything was excellent. I started with the pork wontons in spicy oil which were incredible. I had the kung pao chicken which was very tasty. It was a little spicy which I liked. The fried rice was also very tasty. I would recommend this place and would return.

We were craving spicy Chinese food and found this place. We were seated quickly, but it took an hour for our dishes to arrive. It seemed like there was only one cook and 2 servers working in the restaurant. We ordered the spicy sliced beef and tripe, wok-fried spicy pork intestines with chili, and spicy fish with flaming chili broth. Everything tasted alright, it's not that spicy, but one thing I didn't understand was why even the appetizer, the spicy sliced beef and tripe, took an hour to come out. It's a cold dish, why would it need that long to prepare? The spicy fish with flaming chili broth had good flavor, but the portion size was really small, with a few chunks of fish in the broth. We won't be coming back.

Best Wonton soup and Chinese desserts I've ever eaten in the Bay. The place is not the nicest, in the basement with minimal decoration, but you can come and focus on the food, really worth it. Great service, fair prices.

A hidden gem at the bottom of a staircase. This was a truly incredible meal. The sweet & sour ribs were a real delight. Very tender and a delicious sauce. Great appetizer. My husband loved the wonton soup and seaseme chicken. I got the spicy beef in spicy broth and finally, I was served some spicy Chinese food. This dish blew me away. It's a very big bowl but it goes perfect over some rice. We got a combo fried rice and its some of the best I have ever had. I have a pretty high spice tolerance and this was the perfect level of spice and flavor. The waitress got me extra spice as well . I'm very grateful for the incredible service we received tonight. This was a fantastic dinner and one we will always remember. I just wish we lived nearby instead of visiting.

Stopped in here because of such great reviews. They had a family of 4 special for $50 and it was def worth it! We also ordered crab puffs and spicy potatoes. They were both delicious! For the meal we ordered 3 veggies and 2 meats. It was so much food for the 4 of us! We couldn’t even eat it all! The chicken was so flavorful and moist. The beef was tender and juicy. And all the rice you can eat! The veggies were so good! They served it with soup too! And hot tea. The atmosphere was super relaxed and our waiter was very friendly and helpful. I would def recommend it! I couldn’t get a pic of all the food cuz we ate it too fast! lol

I am happy that I chose the right place for dinner in China town. I ordered one rice noodles and one dish, both are very delicious - as you can see in the photo that I finished everything except for the bones. The waiter Jiaxin is very kind and friendly - excellent!

I can't speak for other restaurants in Chinatown. But We ate the best damn fried rice and eggplant garlic dish in my life. Fried rice was so full of flavor and the eggplants were melting in my mouth. The place is not fancy, and that's what we're looking for. Service was

We were looking for somewhere authentic to eat in Chinatown, did a search on Google and found this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. The food was plentiful, tasty and hot. The service was friendly and quick. The decor wasn't up to much but the food more than made up for it. If you're in Chinatown you definitely need to try it

I stopped by Spicy and Cloud and got the beef short rib soup--it came out fast and instantly reminded me of a real home-style beef soup. Rich broth, tender meat, and just the kind of comforting bowl you want on a foggy SF day. It was well-priced for a solo meal, super filling, and didn't feel overly heavy. The vibe is casual, and the service was quick and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu--this spot's a sleeper hit.

If you're looking for Chinese comfort food, this is the place to go. Tucked under a few stairs, it's a newer restaurant in Chinatown and a welcome addition. With a wide menu and many classic Chinese dishes, it's become a go-to whenever I'm looking to get a filling, comfort meal. Some of my favorites include the fish fillet with pickled mustard greens and the rice balls in rice wine dessert. One other highlight you can find here is the stir-fried crab with ginger and scallion, by far the most flavorful way you can eat crab. The portion sizes are great for the price you pay and the quality is well worth it. If you're looking for excellent Chinese food while in the city, this is the place to visit.

Yum! Glad I got the chili chicken on the recommendation of our server. Everyone here works well as a team and helps out as needed. I really enjoyed the food here and will be back!

Very good service. The portion of the rice noodles is really a lot and very tasty! If you wanna try some authentic Chinese rice noodles, really should give this restaurant a try;)

Spicy & Cloud had one of the highest ratings on Yelp, so we decided to try it! It was a dingy dirty basement restaurant and I thought it could possibly be a hidden gem. But, sadly the food matched the ambiance and was utterly tasteless and possibly the worst Chinese food I've ever had. However, the service was excellent so they get one star.

SATURDAY, JULY 12: As the restaurant's host seated us, we were told that the kitchen was backed up and it would likely be 20-30 minutes before our order could be prepared. But we were determined to check out the food based on the positive reviews here on Yelp. Our patience paid off! We didn't notice if the dishes came out slower than usual, because everything we tried was hot, delicious, and well-prepared -- and a good value! (Prices are very reasonable here.) We'll definitely return to try more items from their expansive menu. Maybe we'll see you there!

This is my third visit. The fish filet with pickled mustard green broth is my favorite--so flavorful. The Mongolian beef is also excellent. The food and service are great every time. Highly recommend, and I'll definitely be back!

Yes 1000x!!! I was a tourist in town and was not feeling the greatest so I resorted to getting some of their noodles, hot and sour soup, and spring rolls. Everything was still warm even after I walked back to my hotel, and I loved the food so much that I energy back for more the next day. Spread the word that Spicy and Cloud is a great hit in San Francisco's Chinatown.

Everything we had was amazing!!! Highly recommend!!!! Here is what we had as a family of four: Combo Fried Rice Orange Chicken Sweet and Sour Chicken Noodle soup Chicken dumplings Servers were super nice!!!!

Great food, super attentive service. Family atmosphere! Highly recommended if not expecting "fancy"

First visit did not disappoint. Large portion size so good that when I asked if I needed another smaller entree that the waiter said whoah whoah 1 entree will be enough Looking forward to trying out the other dishes. Delicious and good quality. Ambiance was calm since they just opened and the nice chatter of the ladies nearby made it a comfortable vibe. Service was solid with a good waiter.

The newly opened place is clean and well lighted. Service was very fast and very friendly. The walnut prawns are good sized and taste just out of the world. The portion of beef broccoli is huge and is enough for two people. The menu list is huge. I will have to go back try out the many other dishes. -R.Yee

Great crossing the bridge noodles. Came here for a weekday dinner so I didn't order too much, but definitely excited to try the other food as well when I get a chance. The Yunnan noodles here had a lot more ingredients than I normally find, which was a pleasant surprise! The server was also really nice and helpful in explaining things, my friend had never had these noodles before but the server told him about them. Love the classic Chinatown vibe as well.

Food took a while to come out and orange chicken did not taste like orange chicken. Other items like fried rice and crispy chicken dumplings tasted good.

We ordered the Stir Fry Lotus Root/Spicy and Fired Cauliflower. It was amazing. Light, textured, delicious. We are very appreciative to them for sharing their dishes and that we were able to have lunch here. We drove from the California Coast to visit San Francisco. This place we chose to eat at was wonderful. The service was lovely as well. Kind and quick to assist us with a warm greeting. It had an inviting ambience. Little paper lanterns hung across the ceiling like stars. The tables and place was clean and well cared for. The prices were incredibly reasonable for the care and work they put into their food. Thank you for a lovely lunch Spicy and Cloud!

Good service and good taste. I love the mustard pickle fish, it's very good. The beef is very flavorful.

I only tries the Wonton Soup. The soup was overprice and service was soso. They didn't even remodel after the previous owner of Chef Hung's left the business. The table cloth were about the same from Chef Hung's. The sign I think is a sticker covering Chef Hung's name.

Food is good service is excellent ambiance is okay, would come back again in this restaurant
