Spicy Girl

Lovely service and lovely food! We got the crispy bottom pork baos, green beans, mapo tofu, beef noodles, chicken and broccoli — all delicious and came out so quickly. Our favorites were the mapo tofu and the crispy baos. The service was the best as well, with our waitress so friendly and funny and the co-owner so welcoming and kind. Also, there’s a parking validation voucher that the restaurant provides for free parking, so make sure to ask!!

If you're looking for a quiet workday lunch spot to escape the busy city, Spicy Girl is a great place in Midtown! Their crab rangoons are some of the best ones I've ever had, and their lunch specials are filling. They offer healthy options, such as steamed vegetables and white rice. We had the lunch special with shrimp and sauteed vegetables, crab rangoons, egg rolls, and lo mein with beef, chicken, and shrimp. All were very delicious! The best part? Our waitress, Kim! She was very kind, knowledgeable, and professional. She made us feel special. They also validate parking, in case you're wondering.

Delicious unique Sichuan spot in midtown with authentic options for everyone. Definitely worth the price for the type of food you’re getting and portion size. Each dish can feed at least two people. We had lots of variety, but my favorites were the Beijing Duck, the 3 Flavor Pepper Chicken, and the Eggplant dish. Service is good, and the ambiance is nice. Would recommend for a family style dinner outing!

A small spot tucked into midtown. The Sichuan food here was delicious and flavorful. The 3 Flavor Pepper Chicken is one of their top sellers and is their version of Sichuan Mala Chicken - highly recommend. It came out piping hot, had great depth of flavor and spice (with a light dose of the lip numbing Szechuan peppercorns 😍). All of the food came out so fresh and fast. The crispy bottom bao was crisped very well and so hot - with soy sauce and chili oil had good flavor. Don't sleep on the lo mein - I could eat that for a meal alone and be so happy. It was a more casual atmosphere and decor than I expected from photos - I fit right in with my shorts and sandals. The staff was a delight. Our server Kim was a riot - she made the whole experience so fun.

Step aside Mala, Cooking Girl, and Pepper Twins. While I like each of those spots for different dishes, the 3 Flavor Pepper Chicken here is mind-blowingly great with the right crispiness to the chicken and a perfect hit of numbing heat. My vegetarian daughter loves the Mapo Tofu. The space is comfortable and clean and the service is always so sweet from the charming staff. Whether their overall menu is your favorite among the others places, who knows. But it seems hard to go wrong here.

We came here for a late lunch and thoroughly enjoyed some dishes. The cheese puff was the best we ever had, crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Perfect appetizer! Beijing pork was authentic, sweet with rich umami, goes well with cucumber. Maoxuewang, on the other side, was a bit disappointing as it tastes of nothing but spicy. Parking can be tricky but give it a try if you’re in the neighborhood.
