Wok Spicy 川天地

Glad that Wok Spicy is holding it down at this location that had been a legacy Chinese restaurant in Denver for decades. Had to try the spicy cumin lamb and garlic eggplant. Portions were a good value for the price. Lamb a little chewy but the flavors were all good. Will come back to try more Sichuan favorites. Service was very good, even with the lunch rush.

I went here looking for some good Chongqing chicken, and it was great! The food came out fresh, clean, and tasty. The staff were friendly, and even though it’s a bit far from my home, I plan to come back occasionally to enjoy it again.

I've not had some proper Szechuan in too long. This place scratches the itch well. My wife and I had the Hot and Sour shredded potato, String Bean with Pork, and the Chongqing Chili Chicken. All excellent. The Wok hei in the dishes, especially the string bean, was great. Just glad to find a place besides Noodle Express to come to for some real regional Chinese cuisine

Excited to try a new Sichuan restaurant and this one is mostly great. Stopped by for a very late weekday lunch, so only a handful of other parties. Ordered the spicy pork hock, mapo tofu, Sichuan spicy boiled fish fillet, Sichuan string bean w. minced pork and Chongqing Chili Chicken. The fish was probably not what I was expecting. They were probably using pickled chilis? It had a very strong acidity to it that wasn't what I was expecting. The fish was still good, but the broth it was cooked it wasn't for my taste. Chongqing chili chicken was boneless, was expecting bone-in. Also the amount of chilis (not hat you eat them) was probably a fifth of what it should have been. Other than that, generous portion and excellent flavor. Onto the standouts, Mapo Tofu here is the most traditional and best I've had in Denver. Plenty of spicy, soft tender tofu and plenty of chili oil. Sichuan string beans, another incredible job. They really seared those beans, which added that wok hei, depth of flavor and another level of complexity. Most other places seem to just throw string beans in the fryer and call it a day, but not here. The spicy pork hock was on the hand written board by the entrance and worth ordering. Never had pock hock prepared this way, but braised, then fried or dried and then stir fried? So much texture and flavor, from the slightly chewy skin to the crunch of the meat and the joy of having it served on the bone. Overall, highly impressed with my first visit and need to make a return trip soon. One of the very few places with dry pot, which I will need to get next time. On the spice level, all the dishes were ordered without modifications and felt the spice level was on the medium low side. Will need to order the extra spicy next time.

Having returned from mainland China a few weeks ago, and having always been disappointed by Colorado’s lack of authentic Sichuan cuisine, I decided to get serious about finding a good Sichuan joint. My research led me to Wok Spicy. Man, am I glad I showed up! Everything ordered was fantastic. We made pigs of ourselves and dined on Chongqing Chili Chicken, Double Cooked Pork, Mapo Tofu, Cumin Lamb, and Sichuan String Beans. All 🔥. I live up in Thornton, but I will happily drive down to Englewood to frequent Wok Spicy.

This place has quickly become a staple in our restaurant list. The food is reliable and delicious. The menu is expansive and can accommodate really any hankering. The mapo tofu is authentic and warming. The chongqing chicken is one of our favorites, albeit it is pretty heavy since it is fried. The green beans with pork are an amazing shared dish! Really, so far, we haven't found anything we dont like. Their service is also great and the restaurant is clean! Dine out experience has also been great. TL;DR: definitely recommend, you should eat here!

I came because I saw the reviews with a ton of photos of that good-looking soup. I didn’t order it however, and instead got the Szechuan Chicken during lunch. Fantastic! Despite being on Broadway and looking like a hole in the wall it is VERY clean inside. The theme inside is cute and has nice art (there’s a cool painting with an Elk that I liked). On the table their paper towel and chopsticks caught my eye and really lifted the experience up because they’re thoughtfully prepared in a custom wrapper and the chopsticks look really cool. The lunch came with soup. The hot and sour is great. Thicker than I’ve ever had it but in a way that didn’t feel overwhelming. The Szechuan chicken was well cooked and had nice flavors that intrigued me. The vegetables were good. Overall I’ll 100% return and definitely bring friends here. It’s a hidden gem! Good parking too (especially for broadway) *my photos probably don’t do the food much justice but I assure you it’s great

The flavors were bold and well-balanced! The spicy fish tofu had just the right amount of spice and numbing sensation, with a silky texture that paired perfectly with the sauce. The eggplant dish was savory, with a great mix of textures from the veggies and sauce. Everything was fresh, well-cooked, and delicious. Would definitely order again!
