Spicy City - San Gabriel

Spicy City is one of my partner's favorite restaurant. We usually go with our favorite dishes and don't deviate much. I'm so glad they reopened with limited outdoor seating. Since the start of the pandemic, we haven't gone much. But with they're limited reopening, we went twice and dined in.

Definitely a place for solid hot and spicy food. The cold chicken with peanut sauce, the spicy fried chicken, and the lamb and beef hot pot are great dishes we love.

This is a wonderful restaurant that represents Sichuan cuisine excellently. A friend of mine from Sichuan said the food here is even better than in Sichuan. The dishes are very flavorful and not necessarily very spicy. Good white pork and kung pao chicken. Great fish dishes too!

We ordered spicy and non spicy dishes here. Lamb meat dry fried with Sichuan spices on toothpicks was quite good. Also sautéed green pea sprouts were excellent. Shredded pork meat with steamed buns were delicious as well as the steamed carp fillet in sour and spicy soup. There are much more traditional Sichuan dishes here. Highly recommended.

The food here is amazing. The fried red pepper chicken is the best I've had: it's salty, spicy, and flavorful. The staff is very friendly, always making us feel right at home. A must visit!
