The Spicy & Delicious

They aren’t the best sichuan in town. But, they are reliable and «closer» to me and are well-​priced. We get takeout from them once every 1 – 2 weeks. All the cold apps are spot on, with different flavours (not all just sichuan pepper and chili oil). The chili oil fish «shui zhu yu» is solid (wish it were spicer though). Their version of pork belly with preserve vegetables «mei cai kou rou» is pretty good. I prefer the version at Maple Yip the most though.

Ambiance = *; Service = *; Spicy Popcorn Chicken = *****… Food makes up for anything, but I’ll get takeout next time I think

the food is ok, but the service is the worst I have ever experience in the Toronto Chinese restaurant

Found this place on Unilocal and decided to give it a shot. I got Shanghai noodles, spicy popcorn chicken, hot and sour soup and beef pancake roll. Everything was pretty good, especially the spicy popcorn chicken which had great flavour and spice. Soup and noodles weren’t as spicy as I would have liked but still tasty. Overall pretty impressed with this little restaurant, nothing fancy but decent food.

Very very good restaurant. Authentic home cooked meal that reminded me of my hometown in china! Service is also very good :) what more does one need for a good restaurant? Good food + good service = returned businesses !!

i have been to this restaurant a few times and it has been consistently good. It’s a small restaurant (mostly take out business) with a few tables. Not the best ambience but food is enjoyable. I have tried hot & sour soup, chicken skewers, beef pancake rolls, spicy beef and eggplant dishes. All ⁴⁄₅ stars!

Solid Sichuan. More good home cook than polished chef style. Not the best, but certainly far from bad.
The location though means I don’t need to go to to Richmond Hill or Chinatown, so it’s on my standard go-​to list.
Fair warning. Do not go here if you don’t like spicy food, or are looking for chicken balls with plum sauce.
They do have some items for those not familiar with the region’s cuisine, but ordering these dishes is like ordering a burger at a soul food joint and being disappointed when it’s not good. Someone gave this place 1 star for making this error, and that’s just cruel.
Recommend Shui Zhu Yu, and Fu Qi Fei Pian.

New owner with great new menu, and also have BBQ dishes. if you are looking for real sechuan food, this place is a must go. you will be suprised HOW GOOD THE FOOD IS.

This place is a hidden gem. Great spicy authentic Chinese food. Everything we’ve had had been great. Definitely get the crispy fried spicy beef, garlic crispy ribs and green onion pancake

Came here for lunch on Friday.
While it’s always a bit eerie to get into an empty restaurant, the atmosphere is inviting.
The server was a tad too close-​mouthed, but made up for it with getting me a fork and a spoon without me having to ask (that’s a pet peeve I had with Asian restaurants. Some actually are trying to make you feel bad about eating with a fork…).
The Business Lunch menu has few options, but then, for $ 7.50, it’s quite adequate.
I had the Kong Pao Chicken. It’s been a while since I ate a decent Kong Pao, and this one was very good.
A word of warning that has nothing to do with the actual restaurant, but with its location: If you’re walking on Yonge St. West side, beware of idiot drivers who spray puddle-​blackwater on pedestrians. A dude just 20 yards ahead of me got coated…
Oh, and under $ 20 it’s cash only… Just so you know…

the menu wasn’t very good, and the 3 items we had to choose were so expensive it came to $ 30. no dinner for 1 or 2 specials, and the portion size for the price paid was not worth it. we walked in hoping it was chinese food like the previous times we went to this location, and were quite disappointed.
We got the crispy fried spicy beef (9.99)
sweet & sour chicken (8.99)
and the shanghai fried noodles (7.99)
When we asked if they had chicken balls, we were told «that they are cantonese, not chinese».
the sweet and sour chicken was good, but the crispy fried spicy beef was tons of dried red peppers, and hardly any beef.
Definitely will not be eating here again.
eta: the staff were not rude or anything, but we just were not expecting the items they had to choose from… spicy frog legs, chicken KNEES, etc? I guess we are too canadian to want to try strange things. (although i do like to try new things, but not when I am not expecting that type of menu)

The name describes the restaurant and my experience.
The Spicy and Delicious is a small little place located on the lower level of a tiny shopping plaza that would be deemed unnoticeable despite the fact that it sits facing a popular part of Yonge Street. Right off the 401, you can find yourself sitting in a restaurant with a menu that offers up some spicy Sichuan favorites like Boiled Fish in Chili Oil or Lamb with Cumin. The prices aren’t bad either as most dishes hovered around $ 10. Real nice for a Chinese restaurant outside of Markham and Chinatown.
We ordered the Sliced Fish in Hot Chili Oil (Small size — $ 9.50), Beef with Hot Chili ($ 7.50), and Fried Chicken with Walnuts ($ 9.50). The Sliced Fish was incredible. I will say that the fish wasn’t of the best quality, but it was still tender, flaky, and ‘effin hot. The portion size caught me off guard right away. I thought they made a mistake because we ordered the small, but it was a hefty sized pot that housed a messload of fish slices. Not too spicy, but it builds up.
The Beef with Hot Chili was an appetizer we got and it was well worth it. There wasn’t just slices of beef shank, but slices of beef tripe and offal as well. The dish was a bit too spicy for my liking but I took it like a champ. The Fried Chicken with Walnuts were to give my stomach a break from the fire and just have some good olé meat. The fried chicken tasted wonderful. The flavoring from the garlic and spices used made the meat a favorite. The skin was still attached to some pieces and the crispiness of it made the dish that much better. Honestly though, the walnuts sucked. They were forgotten in the dish and really served no purpose but to make me think I was staring at more garlic chips.
Service was a definite plus as the lady serving us was so nice and the food came out quick. Always with a smile on her face made feel as though we weren’t even at a Chinese restaurant… The parking situation is easy as there is a free parking garage directly below the shopping plaza (looks like a dungeon though). Good food and if Jenn K. says its spicy, you better bring your antacids or a carton of milk.
P. S. Free Delivery for you lazy motherfu…

I feel like I just burn a hole in my stomach after eating at The Spicy & Delicious!
The items with the 2 chili on the side in the menu are quite spicy. and over all what we ordered were quite delicious?!
Now business hour is till 10 pm so when we arrived at 9:40 pm on a Sunday, we were in a rush to order so the kitchen can clean up and ready to close for the night.
We shared:
House Special Spicy Chicken ($ 7.50)
— Love all those fresh green and red pepper, not only made the dish spicy but add really nice colour to the dish and of course those little devilish szechuan peppercorn that will numb your tongue!
— chicken was cooked really tender and have a hint of wine, garlic and soy sauce
Deep Fried Chicken Soft Bone in a Basket ($ 12.50)
— Battered and deep fried chicken knee cartilage has a great bite
— great beer food!
Hot and Sour Potato Noodle Soup ($ 4.50)
— the broth is so spicy… and so garlicky
— I always love potato noodle as I love that chewiness in it
I ended up packing some leftover for lunch. and the food still taste great the morning after!
Just wish the restaurant serves some cheap beers, these spicy food just go so well with a iced cold refreshing beer!
BTW, I wonder why my Unilocal friend kept sticking his tongue out while eating with me?
