" I had high expectations based on the reviews, but my experience at Spicy City was just okay. The dishes were decent, but didn’t stand out as anything extraordinary. I tried their hot pot and it was fine. However, I found the service to be lacking, as our server forgot one of our orders. I might give it another shot if I'm in the area, but not rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having relocated recently and searching for good Sichuan cuisine, I was thrilled with my experience at Spicy City. The menu features an extensive range of dishes, and I went with the cold noodles and the fried lamb. Both dishes had fantastic flavor—definitely authentic! The staff was courteous, although slightly slow. Overall, I would say it's worth the visit, and I plan on returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is an absolute gem for anyone who loves spicy food! I had the pleasure of trying their spicy shrimp and the flavor was just incredible. The prawns were cooked to perfection, bathed in a spicy sauce that made my taste buds sing. The staff were friendly, and the ambiance was lively. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Best Chinese place in the area! I ordered the spicy boiled fish, and it was easily one of the best dishes I've had in ages. The flavors were spot on and not just spicy for the sake of it. Plus, the portion was huge—I had leftovers to take home! The atmosphere was lively, and the service was steady. Definitely going to be a regular here. " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful restaurant embedded in the heart of the plaza! Spicy City is famous for its grilled lamb skewers, which do not disappoint. They are truly something else! The spices are balanced, and the portion sizes are sufficient for sharing. While the layout could use a little more charm, the vibrant atmosphere keeps the energy high. I’ll be back for sure!

" 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!
