"A simple favorite for bold flavors, specifically recommended for its cold saliva chicken." - Candice Woo

We went here for CNY and the food was excellent! The fish was phenomenal and we especially loved the dumplings. The service was interesting - we were waiting to be seated a long time and the hostess tried to seat the people who came in after us first even though we'd already spoken to her. They nicely pointed out that we'd been waiting. The food was worth the wait however.

This was our first time here. We had spicy fish, salt and pepper calamari, egg rolls and dumplings. The food was great, large portions. We will definitely be back

Very delicious Chinese food, it is also worth a go. Their dishes are excellent, exquisitely decorated, and there are also TVs and fish tanks. You can have a look when you are bored. What’s better is that they usually provide a bowl of candy before and after meals. For those who love Chinese food, this is definitely a must-visit place.

First I just want to say that it is not necessarily expected for Chinese service staff to be really friendly or accommodating, especially to white English speaking people...not because there is any intended rudeness, but because of language or cultural differences when it comes to restaurant etiquette, etc. Having said that, the two waitresses that were on staff today were so nice and attentive and thoughtful. We loved their vibe. This was my first time trying proper authentic Sichuan food after doing a ton of research on what to order (years of research technically, watching tons of channels on YouTube that cover this style of food), and although not every single item was made exactly as it might be traditionally made (the Fu Qi Fei Pian didn't have tongue, heart or tripe for example...it only had the thin slices of beef flank), I found that everything was very close to how it is made in China, or exactly as it should be. We had the following (See pics with captions), and I recommend everything besides the stir fried potatoes (maybe there is a better way to get them than we did): 1. Mao Xue Wang 2. Shao Bai 3. Stir Fried Potatoes with vinegar 4. Fish & Tofu Mala (not sure of menu name) 5. Fu Qi Fei Pian 5. Special Sweet Rice Ball Soup (Dessert) Everything tasted high quality and truly awesome. The portions were gigantic and definitely intended to be family style. We went crazy and spent $100 for the two of us, with drinks, and still had so much food left over that they had to put everything in a big cardboard box lol. Oh and the weird looking fish eyeballs/egg soup looking thing is so strange but so lovely. We asked for a dessert and we were thinking we would get some kind of small piece of Chinese dessert like they do in America and other countries, but instead they brought out a steaming hot bowl of something I can barely describe (see pictures), but it was genuinely awesome and such a new experience for sure. Highly recommend trying it. You'll just have to see for yourself. Can't wait to go back and try more. They have a gigantic and intriguing menu.

Everything was great about this place! My wife and I went for dinner one random day and kind of just picked a few things... HEADS UP!... It is served family style...we had leftovers for a couple of days! Definitely a plus for me! The food was delicious! Staff was so nice and so quick! Definitely goin back!

The pickled chicken feet used to taste great, but today’s batch tasted a bit off — it was very bland, with almost no flavor. Also, the texture was quite tough and seemed undercooked. I hope it can be improved and brought back to the quality it had before.

I noticed Spicy House serves Da Pan Ji (Big Plate Chicken) for just over $20, so I decided to try it along with Dongpo Pork, salted egg yolk tofu, and scallion pancakes—dishes my dad loves. Everything was delicious and great value! The tofu was super flavorful and perfect with rice, the pork was tender and not greasy, and the Da Pan Ji was a huge portion with wide noodles, making it an incredible deal. Only the scallion pancake was average. My dad loved the meal, and with four of us eating, we still had leftovers!

If you want good Chinese shi cuan food at reasonable price with large portions, this is the place to be. Everything we ordered came out quickly, piping hot and delicious. The cold plate portion was generous and delicious. Had the smoked chicken, pork stomach and spicy beef as the cold plate. Ordered fish with preserved veg and stir fry beef. The beef was tender and perfectly cooked, slightly spicy and went well with rice. Service is brisk. Very large menu. Located in mall with free parking but parking was a bit tough during peak lunch time. It's definitely worth a visit if in the area.
