Visited May 21 2026. See my receipt as always. This is a newer restaurant in Oroville. It used to be The Patio restaurant until it closed it's doors a few years ago. They have done a good job on the remodel ! It's located across and towards the back of where Dennys used to be ( btw. Dennys is closed permanently). I ordered the chicken pho and the combination plate. The pho broth was tasty and the amount they give you is budget friendly! Plenty of chicken in the soup! The combination plate consisted of chicken and beef with pork and shrimp with their rice. SO much food! The beef was tender..chicken was nice and tender and shrimp was tasty. Rice was excellent! Love the extra Seasonings on the side! It's going to be a hit in Oroville because they have fresh food with reasonable prices! They also serve beer and wine. They have outdoor seating but it's not set up yet to eat outdoors. Very large inside with a casual flair. Great experience! Will definitely be back to try another dish! Ps. Thank you LISA for excellent service! So sweet and attentive ! read more

You can order at a screen or with the staff person at the counter. Some great photo ops inside with a fun greenery backdrop as well as a rose backdrop. Quiet instrumental-type music was playing during our visit. "Best papaya salad ever!" says my husband -- and we eat a lot of papaya. We had ordered 2 combo papaya salads for dine-in, and then promptly ordered 3 spicy and 1 mild to take to my cousin's afterwards. The pho broth was top notch, as well as the khao poon. The khao poon is customizable and you can add quail eggs, pork blood, etc. The tricolor dessert drink / navaam was also really good with a fun selection of jellies. Definitely worth the stop if you love Hmong / Lao / Southeast Asian cuisine. read more

Came in with a group. The staff brought out everyone's food but didn't bring out my meal. When asked about my order they kept on saying it was coming out soon. Until I asked for my money back they said they would rush it out. Poor service. read more

The best Asian Food restaurant in Oroville. Super nice vibes, owners are always friendly. I practically made this my go to spot for my friends and I to meet up. After introducing them to Hmong Food, they can't get enough of it. Prices are fair and they have happy hours and specials. Some of the best pho and Thai boat in town.

All the food was really good and flavorful. Service was quick and easy. You'll need to order in the front before sitting down. Got to love the condiments with the pickled jalapeños. Definitely a MUST when eating! Interior is big and spacious. Will return for more fish and noodle boat for sure! read more

Took the time life out for Valentine's Day. Plenty of space and it was quiet. Love it. Had the Platter #1. Plenty for 3 people. It gives u a variety of great food so u don't get bored eating only one dish. Of course, like always, we had to have a few of the Mochi Donuts!! Loved that they rotate their flavors around. read more

My first time at The Spicy Kitchen, yummy. I ordered the Red curry, coconut milk and chicken soup, chicken fried rice and pork rolls. It is delicious and I have enough for a couple days. I will be back. read more

The food and the service were both good. Our problem was we didn't know how to gauge how spicy we should've asked for. We both enjoy spicy foods, but... level 5 (out of 10) had us begging for milk to calm the fire on our lips. read more

The Spicy Kitchen - This is what was left of the Papaya Platter. We couldn't eat the papaya salad, though, as that's where all the spice was. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Oroville, California

Been wanting to try this place for a while now because they have Thai boat noodles and I'm glad I did... it's located towards the outskirts of Oroville, kind of sketch because it's just this restaurant and a liquor store next door - but don't be afraid, definitely go in and eat. The place is pretty small.. you walk up and order at the counter... they have a huge water pitcher next to the cashier, so if you want water you get it yourself- which is nice , I guess... because you can get as much as you want .. and the cups they provide is a pretty decent size, it's not the small cups.. They have a pretty big menu: appetizers, soup noodles (pho, Kapoon, kaopiek, etc), pan fried foods (kraw pow, pad see eww, etc), rice plates (Hmong sausages, fried pork, teriyaki chicken etc) .. The menu is very traditional with the Hmong, mien, and Thai style of cooking .. definitely like home cooking We ordered the Thai Boat Noodles, teriyaki chicken, and papaya salad . Thai Boat Noodles: - it was good, they gave lots of meat, meatballs and tripe. It was a little salty, but adding vinegar to it helps - would order it again if I'm ever craving it Papaya salad: yummy - this is the traditional taste that I'm used to.. the funky, crunchy, sour and spicy taste with Kapoon noodles, very good.! Asked for medium spicy and it looked like there was a lot of peppers, but wasn't as "medium" spicy as it seemed Chicken teriyaki: my boyfriend ordered this - he said it was good and he would come back to order it again. ...but - one thing that was a little weird/ off ... the chicken teriyaki was served in a "to-go" , styrofoam container... we were both kind of confused about it because we stated we were eating there .. and wasn't expecting that. Every other dish came out on plates or bowls, but this was in a "to-go" container... maybe that is the esthetics of the dish.? Idk - it's not a bad thing , just something we weren't expecting... Overall - not too bad.!! Would definitely come back again because we don't have this type of home style cooking in Chico, especially the papaya salad. They have so many other dishes I want to try .. glad that it's kind of close to home because it cuts the need to drive down to Marysville. read more

We dont need this place in Oroville. Its huge and for what? The same food we already have already..the choice is slim in Oroville and you basically added a place that nothing special.. do something else!! read more

Yep. As good as we thought ir would be. Very friendly service. Accurate order. Order at counter. Delivered to our table hot. Teriyaki chicken excellent. Pad see yu was delicious. Lamb beef, pretty tasty, never had before so can't really compare. Shrimp Spring rolls, excellent! All in all great experience. read more

First time trying the spot, it's located a bit far from downtown almost on the exact opposite side near tabletop rd near all the new builds, but the food was worth the trek. We ordered two Kapoon( chicken curry noodle) and one kapiet (chicken noodle soup with starchy noodle). The kapiet was very good and similar to other kapiet you'll find. It's a comforting bowl of chicken noodle soup and a sure way for bowl of happiness if you're ever craving for soothing noodle soup. 5 out 5 The kapoon was ok, it's different and had a lot of bamboo, I would come back for this. 4 out 5 Last but not least the the pork egg roll, since it sat in the container from the car ride home, the wrapping was no longer crispy. But the filling was delicious and has a good combo of pork, clear noodle and veggies. 4 out 5 Overall the food is delicious and glad to have tried it. Would come back to try other dishes. read more

Kao poon red curry soup is absolutely fantastic, tofu spring rolls delicious and tasty peanut sauce, teriyaki happy plate was cooked and seasoned well and teriyaki sauce that came with it was very tasty. Pad see ew noodles w veggies and tofu was also bomb af and awesome flavors! First time here and already love! Can't wait to come back. read more

Fresh, savory and satisfying! Spicy Kitchen is worth it! We are so lucky to have them in Oroville

Best hmong food in Oroville. All food was freshly cooked and flavor than other restaurants I've been in. Will definitely come back here.

I will give you 5 because you're egg rolls and sauces are bomb I also love how friendly your staff is when I asked about the spice level of the sausage. I will be back to try read more

Excellent prep and flavor. Plain but comfortable. Friendly prompt service. If flavor matters this is it.

Food: Always amazing! Absolutely one of Oroville's gems! This is the kind of place where local hands craft tastebud pleasing dishes, day in and day out! Service: always excellent. Ambience: who doesn't love a low key spot? read more

The food is good. Price is not bad. I like it. The place is clean and nice. Service is great.

THE FOOD IS CONSISTENCY! The flavor-wise is wonderful! It's not too salty or too bland, just the right amount. The pepper is so good too, make sure to dip your meat in it! I would highly recommend it! I usually order - Combo C (BBQ Pork Belly, Lao Sausage, and Smoke Sausage) - Pork Egg Rolls *AMAZING; literally the best egg rolls I have eaten* (their peanut sauce is amazing!) - KaoPiak - Papaya *if you can take the heat, go for extra spicy 8+ peppers* Service is great, they will have someone up in the front to take orders. Most food takes about 10-15 minutes, which is not too bad. Food does come out hot and ready, which is a big plus! The ambiance is welcoming and nice! Love hearing the Hmong music that is playing in the background and the seating is FCFS. It does get really busy around lunchtime and dinner time, so if you want to dine in, make sure to come a bit early or if you do plan to order take-out, just call in advance. read more

Love the food! Love the spicy pepper. Service is good. Will go again when in the area.

Being south east Asian and having grown up eating all of these dishes from amazing restos and my mum, I am so happy I discovered this place. Everything I've had has been amazing and flavorful. I don't ever leave reviews but felt compelled to leave one for this place. Especially when this aRea doesn't have many good options for these dishes. I also found out they're on Uber Eats. My wallet hates me right now. The people who work here are also very kind and patient. Never experienced a bad service moment! read more

This is so good !! I phoned in to go and it was fast and easy pick up for a great price. It's seriously good food and I cannot wait to go back to try more things from the menu. I got the bbq plate that had bbq pork belly, smoke & Lao sausage, sour bean thread noodle salad and pork egg rolls. The noodle salad was really great and refreshing. The sticky rice that came with the bbq meats was amazing as well! It was so delicious and the portions are awesome. I have to remember to get extra condiments next time, those are delicious as well YUM. read more

At first, the eggrolls were bomb but the last few times I ordered them, they have tasted old and very chewy, I tried giving them several chances but the eggrolls continue to disappoint. Come on, how hard it is to expect fresh, crunchy eggrolls? I won't go back until they are certified fresh. read more

The restaurant is not in a great location but it is so worth a trip to. Everything is reasonably priced, the restaurant is clean, and the staff is ultra-friendly. I love the Spring Rolls and Pho beef soup. Don' miss the chance for tasty Asian cuisine! If I was just rating local Southeast Asian food in Oroville I would rate it a five. So don't take my 4-star rating as a negative. I've just been to many Lao and Vietnamese restaurants in the Bay Area. Given the Oroville population of caucasians, it is so wonderful to have this tasty and fresh cuisine available. read more

Always a hit!! Tried something new and I was not disappointed at all! Ingredients are fresh and the service is immaculate. read more

I'm so happy to find an authentic SE Asian restaurant. We have many Hmong residents in our Oroville neighborhood. (The Hmong helped in the U.S. war against the Laotian and Cambodian Khmer Rouge.) I give them much respect. But Oh My Gosh! Their food is sooooo delicious! This restaurant gives me so much hope that Americans will come to not only know the Hmong sacrifices in supporting America, but also the absolutely wonderful and tasty food that their culture adds to our "melting pot." Spicy Kitchen has a limited menu, but EVERY item is tasty and well prepared. Take out or dine in, it is hard for me to imagine anyone being disappointed. The dining area is neat and clean, and the window coverings help reduce the summertime glare and heat. If you like Thai or Vietnamese food, you will love this truly unique restaurant! read more

Fantastic low cost place to grab lunch. I've had several of their items with the most recent being Thai coffee and Teryaki chicken. Service is quick and good tastes great. read more

My family loves this place. My favorite is the cucumber papaya. My husband loves their meat and rice combos. We probably eat here at least a few times a month. Service can be a bit slow for takeout, but it seems to be run by a 2-person team. Really nice cashier/server. read more

We recently moved from Sacramento to Chico and was feeling homesick. We were craving for boat noodle so decided to try this place out in Oroville. Let me tell you, we were surprised! This place is delicious! Omg, the boat noodle is so flavorful! It's not on the menu yet, so you will have to ask to order it. I'm a picky person when it comes to Laos style papaya salad. The papaya salad was on point! So good! Spicy, sweet, sour, goodness! Lol Pork egg rolls was crunchy and came with two sauces. The clear broth Kapoon was a little under season. Overall experience was good! Will definitely be back for more boat noodle and papaya salad! read more

I was only in Oroville for 2 days on a work trip. During lunch I ordered the Lao sausage, eggroll, noodle, sticky rice plate. I only had 30 mins so I ordered togo. I honestly wish I had time to really savor the food. It was soo tasty, the sausages were flavorful and the casing had a snap to it. The purple sticky rice was soft and still firm, and it had the perfect stickiness to it. The noodle had a nice light soy sauce taste to it and the egg roll was good as well. I think the best thing on the plate was the spicy pepper sauce. I dipped everything in it, I had some leftover sauce and I saved it lol. I highly recommend this place, if I were to ever come back to Oroville, this will be my must stop place. read more

Yum the papaya salad is good and the egg roll and spring roll combo is perfect cus I can never decide if I want the egg roll or spring roll. Boat noodle was decent ... read more
