We had the best time. The service was great from the time we walked in until the end of the email, and the food was delicious!!

Love it here! Portions are decently sized. Food is tasty. Service is decent. We always get the spicy dry pot. Depending on how many people I'm with, we'll add other dishes like mapo tofu, chongqing chicken, marinated cucumbers, etc. read more

Ordered on Doordash to pick up. Friendly service. The man up front saw how hot the tray was and offered a cloth shopping bag so I can carry it out into my car easier, I thought that was very thoughtful of him. 1) House Special Szechuan Fish - You get to pick 1 veggie and 1 other item. This is their signature spicy fish pot with lotus root and fish tofu, medium spicy and medium numbing. Really really addicting, they had a lunch special ($51) and it still came in a huge family style tray. This fed me for 3 days. 2) Szechuan Popcorn chicken - Nothing special about it, I found their Salt Pepper Chicken to be more flavorful. I end up combining them when I got home. 3) Salt Pepper Chicken - this chicken had more flavor than the other chicken dish. If I wanted chicken next time, I'll get this one over the other. I will definitely come back for the House Special Szechuan Fish but I will probably not reorder the chicken dishes and try other dishes. read more

Overall I really liked this spot and I wanna go back and try more. The spot is really nice and cool with a nice parking lot right outside with a bunch of other nice businesses nearby. The service was nice quick and friendly and you order off an iPad, there was lots of options and had a fun time deciding. Overall the food was good, I really really liked the green bean, so salty and flavorful and yummy. I felt like the pork dish was a bit too saucy and didn't really taste Szechuan to me and while it was good it wasn't what I expected and I didn't love it but it was tasty. Maybe we ordered badly or something but bc the green beans were so good I'd give it the benefit of the doubt and give it a 4 this time. read more

Went here to go eat with family post work, so about 5 pm on a weekday. There was ample amount of parking and the dinner rush wasn't there yet. Was greeted and could sit anywhere. Food was great, we ordered off of the tablet. We chose the dry pot and it's basically ala carte. Can choose levels of numbing and spicy from a scale of 0-3. The other dishes we got were the chicken and the lamb fried rice, all of which were delicious. The dry pot serving is pretty huge. Reminder that rice is not included. From the two times I've been here, the service and vibe is great - very lax but can get loud later at night. The neon lights help liven things up. Overall, this place is a staple for me to return to, especially with their portion:price ratio. read more

Very unique spot at least for me. The whole dry pot idea is new to me and this was a good first try! We ordered a dry pot and chose the level of spiciness + numbness. This pot was the star of the night for me. I'm not big on spicy food but i really enjoyed this. We also ordered the cucumber salad and flour soup. The service was good and restaurant decor looked cool. Plenty of parking since it's in a big plaza. One less star only for personal preference since they didn't have a lot of non-spicy options, which I understand why. read more

Delicious flavors and a lot of variety. Everything is priced reasonably and the quantity is a good amount in each dish.

My holy grail restaurant when I want spicy, Szechuan food. I love love their house special, max spicy max numbing. The price and quantity is definitely steep for two, but 3 people is definitely the right amount to share. There is so much fish! Their service is pretty quick. Food comes out fast and servers are attendant. Super fun restaurant. LED lights everywhere, makes it fun :) read more

Really good fish place! I've only been to one other fish restaurant and that was back in the Bay Area in Cupertino so I'm happy to see there are more. The fish pots are perfect for 4 people and if you generally stick with mild, would suggest level 1 spicy and level 0 numbing. If you save the broth for the day after, warning that the spice level gets 2x since the peppers have been soaking overnight. Really tender fish, great toppings, you need to get the fatty beef, and the house broth is the way to go! Great service when they're not super busy. We requested cabbage after placing our order and they brought out a bowl of steamed cabbage for us to add in. Will be back! read more

Spicy PoPo Szechuan Fish - Szechuan Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Known for their Szechuan fish soups, Spicy Popo is a great spot to warm up on a cold day. This restaurant is not as busy as some of the other Asian eateries in this plaza, but its high ratings enticed us to give it a try. Three of us came in around 1:00P on a Saturday and were seated immediately. Every table is equipped with an iPad which you'll use to submit your order straight to the kitchen. For many items, you can't leave comments, so if you have special requests, you'd have to wave down an employee to let them know. It took us some time to scroll through everything, but we selected four dishes which ended up being plenty of food. + HOUSE SPECIAL SZECHUAN FISH ($44.99): Served in a huge pot adorned with dragon handles, this soup was a pretty good deal and can easily serve at least 3-4 people. It came filled with delicate filets of white fish, choices of two meats, two vegetables and customizable spice and numbing levels. We decided on lamb, shrimp, mushrooms and taro. As for spice, our choice of 1 star heat was mild and we opted out of numbing spice altogether. The prawns were plump, the mushrooms acted as sponges for the broth and the taro was a good starchy addition. I enjoyed the soup and it paired perfectly with a bowl of white rice. I just wouldn't recommend it with lamb since the meat permeated the broth and it became pretty gamey over time. + GARLIC PEA SHOOTS ($16.99): A large mound of pea shoots with large pieces of chopped garlic. They were tender, the stems still had a nice crunch and they didn't seem too oily. I loved them and the serving size was really generous compared to other restaurants. + CUMIN BEEF ($18.99): Thin cuts of beef were boldly flavored with cumin and some heat from chopped red peppers. Most pieces of beef were tender with the exception of a couple gristly slices. The beef was stir-fried with red onion and thin green vegetables which added a nice crunch. + GOLDEN BUNS w/ CONDENSED MILK ($8.99): It was my first time having this dessert. The fried bread rolls were crisp on the outside, fluffy inside and a dip in the condensed milk made them taste like a glazed donut. Unfortunately, you could really feel and taste the grease. Make sure to order these at the end so you can enjoy them hot. We liked all the dishes and the service was fine, but other than bringing the food and a handful of additional napkins, we weren't checked on. It seemed like they kept an eye on tables and would only swing by if they felt the need, or if guests called them over. One thing we noticed is that they appeared to use the same gloves to clean tables and when bringing the food, so this was one sanitary concern from our standpoint. Also, the water had a chlorinated taste, so I didn't feel great about drinking it. The cost of the dishes may seem pricey, but the generous portion of soup and the quality of the food made it worth it in my opinion. Seriously, the soup could feed a hungry family! This is a promising Szechuan pick on the Eastside. read more

I got the fish pot and the pea vines last time and it's so good. This is a different kind of spice since they use the numbing peppers. But it's so addicting... we added so many other toppings in our fish pot and it made it even more flavorful I sometimes think about this place and crave it. Need to go again!! We went with a group of 4 and we were all stuffed read more

Very clean interior and menu is on iPad. We ordered a fish pot. Choice of two types of fish and multiple meats. The entire plaza is Asian shops and Resturant and an India Market. Food is not typical so take a look at photos and ask if you have questions You can order dry dishes and multiple spice levels and numbing level . This would indicate two types of pepper one that numbs the tongue and one that adds spice. We did order a rice to go with the soup. read more

I'm just going to call it up front: BEST Szechuan Popcorn Chicken in town. Swimming in a pool of dried chilis, it is very spicy. Spicier than I would typically tolerate, but it's the flavor that keeps me from stopping. Crispy, spicy, numbing, and savory. It is *chef's kiss*. My favorite item here. The House Special Szechuan is also very good. It's probably big enough for 4 portions. You get to choose 2 meats and 2 veggies to go with the fish. For the meats, I chose lamb and beef based on another review. I was a little skeptical about the combination of fish and meat, but I'm glad I trusted the review because it turned out pretty good. For veggies, I chose bean curd and A Choy because I like those, but I'm sure you can't go wrong with any veggie. For dessert, Golden Buns with Condensed Milk. There were 6 buns that were steamed, then fried. The outside was crispy while the inside was fluffy. The combination of friedness and sweet, condensed milk made for a perfect end of the meal. This review was based on a takeout order I made through the Order Togo app. The order was completed at the time specified and the worker was very friendly. Parking is in a plaza that *could* get crowded during certain times, but the day/time that I picked it up it there was plenty of parking. read more

I have heard countless of food things about Spicy Popo but haven't gotten the chance to check it out so I was beyond excited to try it one day with my friends! It was extremely customizable from the spiciness of the broth down to the protein and vegetable options! The service was quick and professional and I especially liked the use of the iPad which made ordering quick and easy! We loved our fish soup which was so flavorful and warming especially on a cold evening. Additionally it was located in a shopping plaza so there was tons of parking available! read more

This is one of my top Szechuan spots on the Eastside. We ordered the House Special Szechuan Fish (Level 3 spice, Level 2 numbing) and the Szechuan Popcorn Chicken. The fish dish had a good balance of spice and numbing, especially if you love spicy food. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and had plenty of Szechuan peppers, which had a good amount of spice as well. Portions were ample and matched the price, for two of us we had plenty of leftovers. The venue is casual and has cool neon lighting. Ordering is done via tablet, and food delivery is quick! read more

Szechuan Fish (3.5 stars) The Szechuan fish ($44) came in a generous portion with fresh fish, which was great. We added beef to it, and while the flavors were decent, it wasn't outstanding. We ordered spicy level 1 and numbness level 1, which made it quite mild--maybe worth trying a higher level for more flavor. Shredded Pork with Szechuan Garlic Sauce (2 stars) This dish was disappointing. It tasted more like sweet and sour rather than a traditional Szechuan garlic sauce, which wasn't what we were expecting. Wouldn't order this one again. read more

Vibe: check; food: yummy, good portion; service: good. The place has a variety of options to select from with available customizations in terms of spice levels and ingredients. Slightly on the expensive end, good portion size served. The only complaint: their dry pot menu misses 2 vital non-veg proteins: chicken and fish fillet. Loved their veg noodles: we wanted it non-spicy yet there was no compromise in their flavor. The dry pot tasted super, well done with the spices and cooked to perfection Despite being a fish 1speciality place, they have abundant of veg toppings to choose from. They also serve freshly squeezed watermelon juice! Will definitely visit this place again to try their other delicacies, specifically their fish in chilli oil. read more

- Tough cumin lamb chop is a nono! - Food: 2 stars Price: 3 stars Ambiance: 2 stars Service: 3 stars Overall: 2.75 stars We have visited here in the past, but I wasn't motivated to write about it as it's a pretty standard Chinese restaurant imo. We visited last Thursday and they sat us next to the entrance. They explained that there is a smaller table at the inner corner of the restaurant, but this table is larger. I regret not taking the small table later as a lot of people came for takeout orders or wait for a table, so it wasn't the best to sit near the entrance. Our first dish came 20 minutes after we placed the order. The Dry Sauteed Green Bean 干煸四季豆 had a hint of numb spicy.. it's slightly overcooked for my liking and not super crunchy. It's also a bit salty for me but still acceptable for someone who prefers little or no seasoning for most dishes. The cumin lamb chop 孜然羊排 came after another 15 minutes of wait.. It was spicy and full of cilantro, green onion, and onion. There were 9 pieces of lamb chops, with or without bones. None of them have a lot of meat, and the lamb was tough and overcooked. I'm not a fan of this dish and highly recommend skipping or replacing it with regular lamb instead of lamb chop. This dish was also not cheap, around $30 if I remembered correctly. There is no point paying more for a worse version. Their shiny tea (milk tea) was also misleading as the description said it includes boba, but we didn't get any. Plus the milk tea tasted weird, and it's made with coffee mate so it's unhealthy.. I'd recommend skipping that too. Overall the dining experience was alright, it's definitely not something I'd crave though. I remember ordering their signature dishes, the Szechuan fish stuff, and they were better (but also costs more). read more

I ordered the House Special Szechuan Fish (with fatty beef, lamb, bean curd, bok choy, and spice level 3, numbing level 3) along with the cold bean curd strips for takeout. My order was ready about 10 minutes before the estimated time, which was a nice surprise. The takeout packaging is excellent; they seal the container with plastic wrap to prevent leaks. I'd definitely order the House Special Szechuan Fish again, although it wasn't as spicy or numbing as I expected for the highest level read more

We decided to pick up food here for dinner, and I was pretty happy with our decision. We ordered the Szechuan Pork Intestine, Szechuan Popcorn Chicken, Pickled Pepper Beef with Cilantro, Dry Sauteed Green Bean, and Stone Plate Green Pepper Chicken. Everything was delicious, and the dishes had lots of chili peppers, which I loved, although some had a bit too much of the sichuan peppercorns for me. My favorite was the Szechuan Pork Intestine. The Dry Sauteed Green Bean was just a teeny but too mushy for us, but it probably was because we picked it up to-go, so probably would've have had a nicer cripsness to it if we ate it at the restaurant. read more

I hosted my birthday dinner here for a party of 11. They did great with hosting a big group, and the service was extremely nice and accommodating to all of our many needs. We ordered so much, and the stars of the show were definitely the fish, pea vine soup, and the popcorn chicken. We ordered 12 dishes total, and we had plently leftover. The price was great for how big the portions were. Overall, my goto Szechuan place in Seattle area, and I'm happy they made my birthday so special.

We ordered through Insta/uber eats and the food we ordered was very good. The boiled beef, chongching chicken, spicy and sour soup, pork and bean curd strips were all very good and really great portion size! The only issue we had was that we ordered the rice noodle dish but received the spicy wide noodles. The rice noodles were for my kiddos that can't eat spicy food. Luckily they were able to eat the pork and bean curd dish. The ticket had rice noodles on it so it sounds like the kitchen may have prepped the wrong dish. read more

We got the House Special, which came with 2 meat and 2 veggies (beef, spam, bean curd and enoki mushroom) for $44.99. 水煮鱼 taste is pretty authentic, close to what I had in China. You can also choose the spicy and numbness level from 1-3. We also got 孜然羊肉 cumin lamb (delicious, slightly sweet) and 干煸四季豆 dried sauteed green beans, both of which I recommend. Service is decent for a Chinese restaurant. We wanted to change something on the order, and the waiter just communicated directly with the kitchen since it can't be changed on the iPad. Water refill was offered. read more

I've had great meals here, although I always suffer a few hours later due to something in the spice mix or maybe it's MSG? I don't know, but the last two times I felt like I was fighting for my life because the physical reaction from my meals was debilitating. I love Szechuan food and spice, but cannot stomach it here. Not going to give a negative review, but ask about what you're getting here. It's with a few days of trouble for me, and that's too much to bear, sadly. Other people seem fine, and the food is delicious, but my body wants to kill me after I enjoy it. read more

Loved it! Delicious food. Great for small groups as the food is served family style. Fun space with interesting decor. Nice service. (Ordered via iPad in the restaurant) We got House Special Szechuan Fish and it easily satisfied 3 people could possibly serve four, we selected several veggies and a couple meats to be included and the resulting dish was brought to our table in a large impressive chafing dish with dragon heads. We got spice level 1 and I don't remember what numbing level but our food was so good very flavorful, not too spicy but with noticeable numbing sensation - just what we were wanting. I want up go back soon! read more

Good was great with huge portions. Service was fine, though you order off a tablet. I do wish it was spicier (we ordered a 3 and the 8 year old could eat it) and next time I'll do less numbing (chose 2, should have gotten a 1). The decor itself is amazing. Super trendy! read more

This place is 10/10 !! The service is amazing and the food was super good!! Large portions and worth the price. They have a lot of options and the soups are to die for!! NOT A COMPLAINT but the soups are HUGE that feeds maybe 4-8 people and I was there with my husband just us two and we've been able to eat the soup leftover for a whole week and they have a lot of options under $20 as well such as the large soups!! read more

Went on Saturday night, store was relatively busy. The shop is uniquely decorated with led signs and fun phrases. Orders are done through chowbus tablets. The staff were very nice and helpful, they switched us to a bigger table knowing that we ordered plenty of food. Most of the food we ordered were great!

All the food is delicious. I came to eat for the first time. My kids have come many times and said that I must come to eat at this restaurant and that I will definitely like it. It was crowded, every table was full, and I had to wait in line. For those who like to eat spicy food, you definitely won't be disappointed. I like this place... Give chopsticks that are very long. Can pick up food around the table even though I came with 8 people and got a big round table. Definitely come back again... read more

Went here for dinner on a weeknight. The decor is modern and welcoming, giving it an Asian pop culture vibe. The service is friendly and prompt. You order using the tablet at the table where you can see pictures and descriptions of the dishes. I ordered the smashed cucumber salad, sweetened green jasmine tea and the spicy dry pot with lotus root, mushroom, cabbage, and shrimp with a side of white rice. Since I enjoy spicy food, I got the spice level 3 (highest) and the numbing level 1. The dry pot was flavorful, and maybe I'll try numbing level 2 next time! The food came out quickly. The portions are generous and the cucumber salad was the perfect cool accompaniment to the spicy dry pot. I was glad I'd read reviews and ordered the rice, because the dry pot can get a bit salty on the palate. The tea was good to sip with the spicy food. If you're looking for spicy Sichuan food in Bellevue, give this place a shot! read more

Their signature dish of fish in spice broth is good choice. We added fatty beef as extra and it was delicious.

I am a fan of Szechuan food so I was excited to give this place a try. I'm okay with having tried this place but not exactly excited to come back again anytime soon cause it is average compared to other Szechuan food that I've had in the Seattle area. 1. House Special Szechuan Fish ($45 + 3.50 for napa cabbage)--Love the presentation on this. Every table had one of these. It could be a meal for 2 people with a bowl of rice but wouldn't feed 3-4 people on its own. Numbing spice level can be customized which is nice 2. Dried sauteed string beans ($15)--I have had better versions of this. The beans were not as dry and crisp as I expected and portion size was small 3. Spam fried rice ($12)--Bland, boring. Split amongst 4 people, we all got half a small bowl of fried rice. I rather just have gotten extra bowls of white rice. 4. White rice ($2/bowl)--Necessary read more

My fave dishes were the house special szechuan fish (of course), oyster sauce eggplant, and the cucumber salad. read more

The hot pot is definitely the way to go for the first visit. My friend and I can take spicy but 2 star was the right choice. I can't imagine 5 star!

Will definitely go back. read more
