Score 89/100 · Order: Chongqing chicken, mapo tofu, cumin lamb · $16–28
Spicy City cooks with real ma la: numbing peppercorn up front, chili heat behind it, and enough wok energy to keep the oil from going heavy. The room is basic, service is fast, and the kitchen does not soften anything unless you ask.
Local tip: Ask for the Chinese-language menu — several dishes never make the English list.
Scored with our ranking methodology — chinese.
