Dining
Spiciest City
08.29.14
We just discovered Spicy City in Anaheim Hills, an upscale Chinese restaurant with both American style Chinese foods and traditional Szechuan dishes to satisfy all tastes.
The Anaheim Hills location was formerly Mandarin Taste and is now owned by Tony Xu who hails from Hunan, China. He's bringing a love for his mother’s cooking to Spicy City. He also has a location in Irvine on Culver Drive.
Whether you want to stop by for a lunch buffet or order off the lunch and dinner menu, you can dine on Chinese favorites such as egg rolls, hot and sour soup, Kung Pao chicken, fried shrimp, and moo shu pork, or get more adventurous with brotherhood eel, Hunan style lamb hot pot, pork intestines in dried pot, or frog with chili and hot sauce.
A few favorites include the garlic eggplant and cumin lamb, shredded pork with pickled vegetables, honey walnut shrimp, and Mongolian beef.
Both locations feature a full bar, hardwood floors, traditional Chinese decor, cloth linens and family style dishes.
Open 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday to Sunday.
