" Decided to take my family to Earl Spicy, and we were blown away by how authentic the food was! Everything we ordered matched flavors we remember from our trips to Asia. The grilled fish was a must-have, and it definitely did not disappoint! The atmosphere was inviting, and we appreciated the staff's friendliness, although they seemed overwhelmed at times. Still, I highly recommend visiting this restaurant for anyone craving real Asian flavors! " (*Curated Review*)
