It seems as the place was closed from the outside but the sign said open and had pretty good reviews so we went in. It's a large place inside and smelled delicious. We ordered a chicken hot pot, spicy combinatiom chow mein, seafood noodles and spicy fried tofu. Everything was delicious! We all ended up sharing our food which was not the original plan. The hot pot was enough for 4 of us plus took two full containers to go. The spice is delicious and a slow burn but not too bad. I believe they use szechuan chillis which give you a tingle and I really like it.They take cash only and close at 3pm to open again later. Everything was served hot and fast and we enjoyed it. Definitely will visit again and tell friends.

Terrible. Would give 0 stars if I could. We ordered for pickup and went to the shop later to pick it up. We said our order - told the lady EVERY ITEM WE ORDERED to make sure it was the correct order, and came home with the bag she handed to us. We got home and realized she gave us the wrong order. Here's what happened next: 1. We call to tell her what happened, and the lady says "can you come back? Your order is still here". NO APOLOGY. 2. We go back, she BLAMES US "oh, you took the wrong order." SHE GAVE US THE WRONG ORDER 3. She FORCES US TO PAY EXTRA, saying we didn't pay enough for the first order. WELL SHE GAVE US THE WRONG ORDER AND CHARGED US FOR THE WRONG ORDER. We had to drive 30 min out again to pick up this freakin order she messed up. All she had to do was just HAND THE CORRECT ORDER. And because SHE couldn't do that simple task, WE had to waste 1 hr of our time and gas, and was LATE for our plans. AND NO APOLOGY.

Spices 3 used to be my all-time favorite Chinese restaurant, but in the past year or so the quality has changed a lot. I can only guess they got a different chef, or something, because at one point, the quality suddenly nose-dived. I typically get the kiss of fire orange chicken, and it used to be my favorite dish at any Chinese place, and for whatever reason, it's completely different now. I can only describe it as a slop, with very bland and mediocre chicken and breading. The flavor profile definitely leaves something to be desired. I would much rather order from another Chinese restaurant at this point, and don't really order from here anymore. Too bad.

Points for having flavor; uninspired otherwise. They have clearly marked vegetarian options and were courteous. Nothing on their menu is health-promoting, and everything is loaded with sodium. You can't heal yourself by eating here, and the interior needs an overhaul.

Great affordable food in a nice place. They are now inside hot pot house. The mapo tofu is delicious and the beef and broccoli is great. The couples delight is a great app or the scallion pancake is delicious.

Things are getting too spicy for the pepper! Spices 3 has a great variety of meals and they are reasonably priced and perfect for sharing! I tried the chicken wings with explosive chili sauce and the diced string beans. The chicken wings were spicy, but definitely not an unbearable spicy level. There was so much of the "explosive chili sauce" which is just dried peppers, which made it a bit difficult to eat along with the chicken. Also the wings are pretty small, like half the size of a typical wing. The string beans were very tasty, and I've never seen them chopped so small! The inside of the restaurant is super cozy and I LOVE all the artwork! Very unique. They are cash only, but our server accepted Venmo which is nice because I didn't have cash. Also the service wasn't that great, we pretty much had to get the servers attention for everything. Overall the food was great and I loved the inside of the restaurant! I wish they had a little better service and they really need to get a card reader...

Spicy and delicious! I came here a bit tipsy and ended up ordering like a starving savage. The portions are insanely huge—one dish could serve two—but the two of us ordered 3 (spices 3!) and got mega bloated on this spice grub. The chicken with red oil, beef noodle soup and fried rice are all very, very tasty. All reasonably priced, too!
