" I'm so glad I finally tried Spicy City! The Szechuan poached fish is where it’s at! The complex flavors combined in that dish took my taste buds on an adventure. The ambiance was cozy which made the dinner enjoyable. However, I would recommend calling ahead during peak hours, as it gets quite busy. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t speak highly enough of the service at Spicy City! The staff is attentive and eager to help. The flavor profiles are interesting, and I appreciate their dedication to authenticity - I felt like I was back in China enjoying these amazing dishes! I will definitely be returning to indulge in more! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're a fan of spicy food, Spicy City is where you should head! They serve up some of the best hot and sour noodle soup I've ever had. The flavors are elevated and honestly, it’s hard to not go back every week. The prices are reasonable which makes it more inviting for frequent visits! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Spicy City, I walk away satisfied! The Dan Dan noodles have a perfect balance of spice and flavor. The service is usually quick and friendly, making it a great spot for lunch breaks. Don't pass up the boiled fish – it's simply delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely love this place! The atmosphere is vibrant, and you can tell the food is made with fresh ingredients. We ordered the dandan noodles and some cold dishes, and they were both fantastic. I highly recommend coming here if you enjoy authentic spicy Asian food. The friendly service is just a cherry on top! " (*Curated Review*)

" The spice level here is no joke! I visited Spicy City with friends who love heat, and we all enjoyed the lamb with cumin sauce. It was flavorful and packed a punch. The only downside was the wait time for our food, which was longer than expected, but given how packed the place was, it’s understandable. Definitely a place worth visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my last experience here. The food was not bad, but nothing exceptional either. The hot and sour soup was too salty, and service was slow. However, the prices are reasonable, so if you're in the area and craving some Chinese food, it might be worth a visit. " (*Curated Review*)
