" Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with my visit to Spicy City. The food was overly spicy without much else in terms of flavor. I ordered a few cold dishes and was hoping for a refreshing experience, but everything seemed too drenched in oil. Service wasn’t great either as we had to wait quite a bit to get our bill. Not sure if I’d come back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was a bit taken aback by the flavor and spice levels at Spicy City. The dishes are traditional and remind me of home. The spicy lamb was delightful! The portions were more than satisfactory, and it's great for family-style dining. If you're in the mood for heartwarming Sichuan dishes, this should be your go-to place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Spent a wonderful evening here with friends! The spicy fish and pork belly were out of this world. They offer generous portions, making it perfect for sharing. The only downside was our server seemed a bit distracted. The lively ambiance and authentic flavors made up for it, though. Can’t wait to come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" The hype around Spicy City is real! I took my friends here, and we ordered a magnificent spread. The atmosphere felt unpretentious and welcoming. The highlight was definitely the Dan Dan noodles—they were exquisite! They had the right amount of spice and the texture was just right. I can't wait to return and try more dishes. Overall, a fantastic dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve always passed by Spicy City, but finally decided to give it a shot with some friends. I ordered their fried chicken with peppers and it was just okay—not bad but not amazing either. The service was friendly but definitely on the slow side. The restaurant gets busy quickly, which is a good sign! I might come back to try other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

The service was on point, contrary to what some reviews said. I enjoyed the guitar music playing in the background, which added to the experience. Overall, this gem is worth the visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am a huge fan of spicy food and Spicy City caters to my craving perfectly! The cumin lamb is something I can’t recommend enough, and their spicy chicken was also an absolute hit. The portion sizes are generous, making it ideal for sharing. While the vibes can get loud due to the busy atmosphere, it adds to the dining experience. I’ll be returning frequently!
