The best Szechuan and American Chinese food I've eaten off of Buford Highway or at Chinatown Mall Ching Qing Hot Pot. I highly recommend Sho Spicy for your Szechuan or typical takeout needs! This is handily the best Chinese food anywhere in the area. The House Combo Lo Mein was honestly some of the best Lo Mein I've ever had. Just the right amount of oily and very delicious brown sauce in the stir fry. The Shiitake and Bokchoy with Chicken added was supremely simple and subtle. Just the right amount of ginger and garlic tones and a delicious broth. Perfectly cooked chicken and veggies. The hot and numbing combo delivered. I got it as hot as they could make it and was alternating between a numb tongue and sweating buckets. Every single item in the hot pot was perfectly cooked and the presentation was spot on read more

This restaurant is amazing! Excellent foods and services. First time trying the lamb dish and love it. Thanks Sho Spicy's management team for the recommendation. read more

Great food - QUICK delivery service. The Moo Shoo chicken and Mongolian chicken are absolutely delicious. The sesame chicken was good flavor wise but the chicken was a little tough. Won't order that again. read more

Oh my! So good. The food and the customer service was amazing. I can't believe I've lived down the street for a year and have never been. Now I'll be a regular read more

Sho Spicy is like Tasty China Sandy Springs, but with a new name. I think the interior has been spruced up, but not significantly, and the menu is largely the same; at least, for all the Sichuan items I like to get. If you are/were a fan of Tasty China, you should be mostly satisfied with Sho Spicy. As has been well-documented in my Yelp reviews for over a decade now, I've always been a big fan of Tasty China. It's not for everyone, but I love how Tasty China's chefs liberally use Sichuan peppercorns in many of their dishes. To me, it makes a big difference. It's what brings the "ma" part of the "mala" cooking (numbing and spicy) that Sichuan cuisine is known for. To date, I've yet to encounter a Sichuan restaurant that brings the mala as consistently intense as Tasty China (Marietta and Smyrna) does. While the spice levels are still satisfyingly high here at Sho Spicy, I do think the numbing levels have been backed down (to my disappointment). Again, it's not for everyone, so I understand if that was a decision to conservatively appeal to a wider range of palates, especially in Sandy Springs and Buckhead. Sho Spicy replaced Tasty China Sandy Springs (https://bit.ly/3vmXibb) in the Fountain Oaks shopping center sometime in or around July 2020. This is the same shopping center as Kroger on Roswell Road, inside the perimeter. Tasty China Sandy Springs had opened in September 2018 so it lasted less than two years. I have a sneaking suspicion Sho Spicy might be part of the same metro Atlanta network of Sichuan restaurants that includes Urban Wu in Buckhead, Hai in Decatur, and Wei in Marietta, but I could be wrong. For more on that, see my review of Wei: https://bit.ly/3wA8pxI. The dining room is spacious and nicely decorated. During my visit, it was clean and still looked relatively fresh and new. For bigger groups, they have round tables with Lazy Susans which are great for large group dining. The menu is pretty solid with apps like A6. Beef Tendon & Tripe in Chili Oil ($9.95) and A9. Wood Ear Mushrooms with Wild Peppers ($6.95). There's a lot of good "authentic" stuff under the "Chef's Specialty" and "Classic Sichuan Cuisine" sections of the menu such as B3. Braised Fish (or Beef/Chicken) in Chili Oil ($15.95) and B6. Double-Cooked Pork ($13.95). They have "Americanized" Chinese selections too, of course, with $8.95 lunch specials offered weekdays, 11:00am-3:30pm, and $11.95 dinner specials. Here's what I got: A2. Dan Dan Noodles ($7.95) - Chinese egg noodles, ground pork (beef also an option, peanuts, scallions, chili paste C6. Cumin Lamb ($20.95) - sliced lambed, cumin, onion, cilantro, red peppers, sesame seeds, jalapeno C8. Salt & Pepper Squid ($19.95) - shrimp also an option V1. Sichuan-Style Dry Fried Eggplant ($13.95) V12. Snow Pea Tips with Minced Garlic ($14.95) V21. Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce ($14.95) In general, the food was good and the portion sizes were fair to generous. I was quite happy with the portions of the snow pea tips in particular. There was a $1-3 difference per dish between the print menu at the restaurant and the online menu. I ordered and paid online using Sho Spicy's online platform, qMenu (https://www.qmenu.us/). The qMenu prices were anywhere from $1-3 more per dish. For example, at the restaurant, the Cumin Lamb and Salt & Pepper Squid were $17.95 and $16.95, respectively. Online, they were $20.95 and $19.95, respectively. I placed my order on a Monday at 6:15pm and it was ready at 6:31pm. Fast. The lead time I was given was 20 minutes so they beat the estimate. My order was sitting and waiting for me at the front when I arrived. The dining room was empty except for one table and my takeout order was the only one ready for pickup, at least out front. My order was packed securely, included five boxes of steamed white rice, chopsticks, fortune cookies, several packets of duck and soy sauce (which I did not use), and super cheap disposable fork-napkin sets The takeout containers, though, were good quality. Thanks to server Sophie at the restaurant. I ordered a lot of my longtime (in general) favorite dishes and there were no surprises except for the Salt & Pepper Squid. This was my first time having Salt & Pepper Squid prepared Sichuan-style with red peppers. I prefer the Cantonese version, which is drier and has a lighter, more crispy batter. In this regard, I still think Canton Cook II does it best. Some pieces of the Cumin Lamb were tougher than average, but the flavor was good. I just wished the lamb and the Dry Fried Eggplant had more Sichuan peppercorns for that wonderful, tingly, numbing sensation. The spiciness was definitely there, however. The Dan Dan Noodles were rich and flavorful. The noodles had excellent texture and the spicy oil sauce was full of umami. Both the Snow Pea Tips and the Chinese Broccoli were fresh and delicious; simple yet yummy and gratifying. I recommend all of these dishes except for maybe the Salt & Pepper Squid. read more

Very good. I want to go by and try the Kung Po chicken. The Mongolian beef was just right, tender and tasty. My friend got the General Tso's Chicken and I had a bite, also tender and tasty. Her son got a specialty that was a pork in Numbing sauce. I was too scared of "numbing" sauce, but I tried a bite. The bite wasn't too hot. I think you feel it more after a bit, but he says you are numbed and can handle it. The bite I had was crispy and so flavorful. Would like to go back and get one of those too. The hot and sour soup was good, and we had the Dan Dan Noodle appetizer, and it was wonderful. read more

Is it possible to marry a restaurant you only went to once? Get an ordained minister, I'll put on a dress and stand in front of the place, and we'll find out. The sauce that comes with the xiao long bao makes it. Savory, maybe a hint of citrus if my tastebuds aren't fried. The General Tso's chicken was perfect - cooked just right, saucy, and spicy. The lady who gave me my order was very kind! Didn't have the chance to eat in, but the restaurant looked nice! 10/10 read more

Amazing Chinese food in the area!! Very nice employees too ! I got the cheese wontons and chicken and broccoli, Both were delicious

Absolutely amazing meal - staff was overly kind and attentive - we both ordered 3 courses and spent barely any money. They just gained a repeat customer for sure! read more

They had the worst sesame chicken I have ever had. The spices were bland, the chicken was iffy , and there were probably 5 sesame seeds on the entire order. Some dishes there are fine, but avoid the sesame chicken at all costs. read more

Me and my family came here thinking this place would be very expensive and sketchy. We ordered an orange chicken, sesame chicken, and many more delicious food! The food came out on time and even a little bit faster than thinking when it was going to come out. The food ended up tasting amazing and very flavorful!!! The service as well was very good, always making sure we had enough water or what we needed! I would recommend this place!!! read more

Located near Chastain Park, Buckhead in a Kroger shopping mall. Wasn't very impressed with their food. Enjoyed Urban Wu but not here (I believe under same management or owner) Everything was too salty and just tasted like a $5-10 dollar takeout Chinese food. The lo mein noodles tasted "off" (in my words, disgusting) but husband seemed to like it okay. For a small amount of noodles, chicken and beef dish as you can see on the posted pic, came out to be about $48. Crazy price for a takeout Chinese food for less than mediocre quality and taste. read more

Ordered delivery with some dietary requests. I received a phone call informing me that this dish could not adapted to my specifications. I greatly appreciated that my request was even considered and staff went beyond to make a phone call. I ordered another dish for pick up the next day. It was packed perfectly, hot, fresh and met my dietary request. I will order again for my family. read more

Really delicious! Nice portions. Followed special instructions exactly! Who would imagine that we could get such delivery on Thanksgiving? We loved it!!! read more

Great food. We arrived by 6 PM so restaurant wasn't busy. Fast service, fresh, hot food. We had orange chicken - delicious.

Ordered take out and the food was horrible. The fried rice tasted old and stale. The Red Curry with Chicken was disgusting. The chicken was like gummy and the meal had such a weird flavor, opposite of red curry. Trashed it all. read more

Inattentive waitress. Might as well Help yourself. Food is ok sometimes too salty. Not going back may be online orders read more

We've ordered take out from here a few times and been at the restaurant once. It looks like people mostly order to go. Food is always consistent. The salt and pepper ribs, bamboo shoots with chicken are a must. I will say this last time, their fortune cookies were stale, but the food they make is delicious. That one time we did dine in, service was ok at best. It felt a bit like we were being bothering the server whenever we requested something. It was disappointing especially since there wasn't that many people. read more

We've only gotten delivery and it's always been great! (though very expensive with the delivery fees, unfortunately). The wonton with chili oil is so good! It's like a deliciously spicy wonton soup! We also typically get the spicy numbing dry pot which is also super spicy and the hunan chicken which is so flavorful. I just wish it was closer or delivery was cheaper, but it is wonderful szechuan in the Atlanta area. read more

You will not see many reviews in my profile, because usually I can't be bothered. However, I am making an exception for this restaurant. It is hands down the best Chinese delivery I have ever eaten! Every bite was delicious, even down to the fortune cookies (which I don't usually eat). We had the numbing combo (which is spicy soup with a few glass noodles and a variety of fried meats), Mongolia beef (surprisingly sweet), egg drop soup (A+), egg fried rice (still fresh and warm when it arrived), and wonton soup with chili oil (sour and spicy). The delivery time was very quick, about 40 minutes total. The delivery driver had a mask on, and he respected the sign I have on my door which says not to ring the doorbell. Be warned -- the spicy dishes are very spicy! I love spicy foods, so they were a perfect level of heat for me. However, if you are planning to order two dishes I would recommend getting one spicy and one non-spicy to give your taste buds a rest. Highly recommended! read more

I wish I could give this place 6 stars. Their Chinese food is the best I've ever had. We ordered their hot and sour soup, three pepper chicken, and kung pao chicken with fried rice. They give HUGE portion sizes and have a very fast turn around time from when you order to when the food comes out. Their service is on it. Our water glasses were never empty and our waitress even offered to plate our left overs for us without us having to ask. I'm not a huge lover of spicy foods however, the three pepper chicken is now my favorite dish. They tailored down the spice level for me which was perfect. It has a mixture of red pepper, green pepper, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, with sautéed onions, and spinach. The chicken is cut perfectly and offers a nice tender twist to the crunchy- texture of the peppers. The kung pao chicken my husband got was great. Not overly saucy, and the chicken was also super tender with nice crispy vegetables and cashews. read more

Just had lunch here and ordered the shrimp with broccoli, ma po tofu, and beef tendon with tripe. If you like American Chinese food, you'll probably like this place. It's a nice looking place and very clean. One of the cleanest Chinese places and a shopping center I've. The service is friendly and responsive. The food is laid out very nicely. The menu has a broad range of options. What keeps me from giving this place 4 or 5 stars is that the actual execution of the dishes are not very authentic. For example, the tofu was cut really large and didn't seem to have peppercorn, instead relying on some sort of hot sauce to make it spicy. Feels like over time the kitchen might have given up on the nuances of the dish to just provide what the customers in this neighborhood wanted. So if you're used to really authentic Chinese dishes, this place might be a little disappointing. But if you're more of the American Chinese type, then you'll love it. read more

Never a bad experience here. Food is always great. Fresh and how u order it. I have only discovered this place during the pandemic so I haven't eaten inside so I couldn't tell you about the service inside of the restaurant... but when picking up my food... they've always been pretty pleasant. Try the salt & pepper spare ribs... man those things are amazing... just enough crunch, spice and flavor! ***use the seasonings to mix with your white rice for an extra treat! ***warning to those who don't like spicy food! This meal is a bit on the spicier side! read more

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! I ordered the Fish and Chili Oil soup and the 3 Pepper Chicken and it was nothing less than phenomenal. The ingredients tasted fresh, the dishes were flavorful, and everything was obviously freshly cooked. This is true authentic Chinese and Sho Spicy has definitely earned a spot in my top three Chinese restaurants in the US and I cannot wait to order from them again. I apologize for not taking pictures but I couldn't wait to dig in read more

I would like to share an experience I had at Sho Chinese restaurant in Roswell on 10/27/23. I was in the area for a work related trip and had a taste for Chinese food. I placed my order for pick up. My order was incorrect so I brought it to the cashier's attention. He was very disrespectful. He told me it was my fault for not being clear when I placed my order, at no point did he offered a solution or an apology. He continued to argue and wouldn't give me a chance. He finally told me it would be best for me not to come back to his restaurant. This was my first time ordering from this restaurant and was very disappointed by how disrespectful and unprofessional the representative was. I was truly turned off by the service I received which sometimes is more important than the food. read more

I love Sichuan food! I love having a beer or glass of wine with dinner. Sho Spicy has a nice dining room and a good menu of Sichuan and Chinese classics. They offer a set of beers on tap -- a pint of Hopsecutioner for $5? Yes, please! And their food is nicely prepared. This place is a win. They do a fair amount of take out, but the dining room is perfect for 1....or groups of 8 around a lazy Susan table. read more

Excellent spot in the grocery store shopping center. The server Sammie was very accommodating and attentive. Hot and sour soup was on point.

Ordered the pig intestine dry pot and the pig ears. Both were delicious and some of the best Szechuan food I've had. Right up there with the best dishes at other big name Atlanta restaurants like La Mei ZI and Chong Qing hot pot which both seem to get a lot more attention. The dry pot came with tons of vegetables and intestine. It was a little pricy but you could at least split it between two people (maybe even three?). The pig intestines were cooked really well, with a slight sear on them and a delicious texture. I asked for them to be extra spicy and the spice level was perfect. Pig ears were great too. They were sweet and spicy and the little green peppers mixed with them gave them a bit of a different spice than the intestines read more
