" SpiceUp is a restaurant that radiates authenticity, from the way the dishes are prepared to the engaging service provided by David. I had the pleasure of tasting their mapo tofu, which was easily one of the best I've ever had. It's refreshing to see a place that sticks to true Szechuan flavors. The ambiance was casual yet inviting, making it a fantastic spot for gatherings. I’m definitely planning my next visit already. " (*Curated Review*)

" Good Chinese food with a not-so-great experience. While most of the dishes were flavorful, I was served a dish that was lukewarm and didn’t pack the punch of genuine Szechuan spices. The staff were friendly but seemed distracted. The decor was nice but could use a bit of updating. Overall, it was satisfactory but not exemplary. Would I come back? Maybe, depending on my mood. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delighted with my recent visit! The spicy wontons were a perfect appetizer, and the Cumin Lamb was the best I’ve ever tasted. David, the owner, made sure we were well taken care of and offered great recommendations. The atmosphere was cozy but lively, reflecting the authentic Szechuan vibe. I’ll definitely be back to work through more of the menu and enjoy those wontons again! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at SpiceUp was amazing! Upon arriving, David was incredibly warm, welcoming us like old friends. The eight of us ordered a ton of dishes to share, including the Pork Dumplings in Chili and the Spicy Dry Hot Pot. Everything was beautifully plated and bursting with flavor. The spice level was perfect, and the food was so fresh—you could taste it. It was also a very reasonable price for the quantity and quality. I must say, I am looking forward to our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful lunch here last week! The ambiance felt authentic, with decorations that reminded me of my travels to China. The menu offered a wide variety of options, which made our choices challenging but exciting. I settled on the boiled beef in chili oil and was not disappointed; the dish shone with fresh ingredients and a kick of spice. David even shared insights on the ingredients which made me feel welcomed. Excellent customer service and high-quality food make this a must-visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Recently had a team lunch here and was quite pleased! They were able to accommodate our large group without a hitch. Everyone loved the array of dishes, especially the Sweet and Sour Soup and the Dan Dan noodles. What was remarkable was how quickly the food arrived, making it a perfect choice for a business meeting. I appreciated how David provided some depth to our meal by sharing the history behind some dishes. I’d recommend it for work lunches or casual get-togethers. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the place has a decent reputation, my meal did not meet the expectations set by others. I wasn’t a big fan of the Spicy Dry Hot Pot; it was quite oily, and the spice didn’t balance well with the other flavors. The wait staff were chipper but somewhat inattentive. On a positive note, the ambiance was nice and inviting. Not sure if I would return—maybe for a different dish? " (*Curated Review*)
