First time here and very impressed with the quality and variety of foods!! We ordered the mapo tofu, vegetable spicy dry pot (apparently seem to be known for the pots), jing jiang pork, Yummy Spicy chicken, and also got the mango refresher drink. The drink was really good, especially for a restaurant!! Very floral tea with fruity mango notes, it was so good I wanted another one. The mapo tofu was very rich in flavor, it had the spiciness but also held the body of the black bean flavor without being oily. So far our favorite mapo tofu in the area. The Yummy Spicy Chicken (fried cubed chicken with peppers) was the same, the crunchiness was perfect and the chicken was still moist. I do wish it had a little more spice but it was still good. The Jing Jiang pork also tasted good, but I was quite surprised with the meat quality as re-heating the next day did not have any gamey flavors. Finally the dry vegetable was also really delicious, a wide variety of vegetables with a few having a seared flavor. Would try getting the beef dry pot next time! Service was also really good, the waiters came to check on us multiple times and even wanted to reheat our dry pot. A great place for casual yet delicious Szechuan style food, and our go to spot now! read more

Nice quaint space. We stopped in for something different. We were seated immediately. Service was great. Food cooked fresh to order. Parking lot was small. I do not remember what everyone had but my cumin lamb was great and I had hot sake. My son had the orange chicken which he enjoyed. My daughter had the chicken with scallion and chili and my other daughter got some soup. As you can see in the pictures the portions are big for family style eating. Everything was great. O yeah they have hot saki!! I recommend. I want to say as well Thank you!! My son left his phone and they kept it for him. read more

This place is a bit hidden, so keep an eye out for the turn when you're heading there. The food was great and definitely on the spicy side--avoid wearing white just in case. Service was good overall, but when we ordered alcoholic drinks, they had to purchase them from the grocery store and they ended up being warm, which was a bit disappointing. read more

Been meaning to hit up this spot for quite some time and I wish I got here sooner. The food was incredible. We ordered the enoki mushrooms. Never had anything like it. All dishes were made with a lot of flavor. Setting was also very cute. Felt like I was eating at someone's home. My only qualm was that for 2 people it was quite expensive. Especially for Buford highway standards. read more

Yummy Spicy - Double pork and eggplant and dan dan noodles - Szechuan Near Me - Doraville, Georgia

Got the beef and emoji mushroom soup, yummy spicy chicken, yummy spicy seafood pot and a beef pot and the fried eggplants. Will start off with the eggplants, it was fried very well but the seasoning was not quite there. Also thought there wasn't a lot of eggplant for the price. The amount of chili under it definitely made it seem like it was a lot. The beef and enoki mushroom soup packed a lot of flavor. But there really wasn't a lot of enoki mushrooms. The chicken was definitely my favorite! The seasoning was so good and it had the perfect amount of spice. The seafood pot was good! Had tons of shrimp and vegetables but not many other seafood options in there unfortunately. On the other hand, the beef pot was NOT worth it! There was maybe 7 thin slices of beef in there for $30. The rest was filled with vegetables to make the pot look like it was full. Overall, I feel like some of the dishes were hit or miss. The hits were definitely great but the misses were just lacking in ingredients. Seems like they skimped out on some of the dishes tbh. read more

Mid tasting sichuan food. Although it's not bad, there was nothing special or memorable about the food here and there was not a single stand our dish that we really enjoyed. Sadly, all of the food was missing that mala spice that we were craving too. Won't be coming back here. read more

Yummy Spicy truly lives up to its name! Having been to Yummy Spicy at least 6 to 8 times over the years, it really hard to find anything that isn't yummy and plenty of authentic Szechuan spice to heat up the palate. My wife and I have made this our go to lunch spot whenever we can get away from the office. Great food at great prices makes the lunch specials even more enticing. Lunch specials come with choice of fried rice or steamed, egg roll, and choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup. This review is coming after opting in for the sesame shrimp lunch special which was incredible. The shrimp were cooked perfectly with just the right amount of fresh breading to allow for a crunchy texture. The tofo vegetables lunch special is a mainstay for my wife and did not disappoint. Because we like a little spice, the Szechuan cold noodles are always an excellent way of getting just the right amount of heat without going too far. Both the egg drop and hot and soup soups are just the right complementary dishes to the meal, leaving an option for non-spicy with the egg drop or some heat with the hot and sour option. On prior visits, we got the Kung Pao chicken and tried the handcrafted teas, all of which were awesome. Customer service is always great and attentive. Can't wait to get some more yummy and spicy food again soon! read more

We haven't been to Yummy Spicy in a while since it's far from where we live but we took advantage of the lighter traffic to come on a weekday. We love this place because the owner is so nice and she is almost always on site. She's so friendly, just like everyone else who works here. She's takes great pride in her food and her family's business and it shows. The lunch specials are a great deal because they come with a choice of soup, rice, and an egg roll. We love their dumplings and always have an order of those as well. I had the eggplant in spicy garlic sauce and it was delicious. Be sure to ask for Chinese spice levels if you really want some heat. My husband ordered the Mongolian beef (he's not a fan of spice) and he enjoyed that as well. It is worth a trip from our part of town because the food and service are just that good. Now that we've rediscovered Yummy Spicy we will certainly come back more often! read more

This restaurant is located in old Taco Bell. The inside features some neat art although near the bar it was a complete mess of to go containers and surplus. The food was fantastic. The hot and sour soup was nice and peppery. It also was hearty with vegetables and egg. The other apps of dry green beans and crab Rangoon were equally delicious. I was kind of surprised of the price difference f the Rangoon when you only get 4. Their container of hot chili oil was VERY spicy! I enjoyed it but consider yourself warned. My entree of noodles was filling and well seasoned The vegetables were a perfect mix of el dente. I had a lot of leftover food and tasted great the next day too. The service was a little distant. It wasn't busy and we were getting overlooked for water refills and just checking in. I would still recommend coming in and giving this place a shot or two. read more

I went around 7:30 pm on a Sunday night with two friends. It was pretty busy but I got seated right away. The service was pretty slow but to be fair and to reiterate, they were pretty busy. I only tried a few items and some were good and some were just okay. Nothing was terrible though. Here's my review of each of the items that I got. Bamboo fish: The breading was thin which I liked. The fish was well seasoned and cooked. However there were way more pepper flakes in the dish than there was actual fish. I'm not sure what kind of fish this was or where the bamboo part comes in, but the dish was just breaded fish and pepper flakes. Not sure if I would get it again though. Sizzling black pepper beef/Hotplate beef: The flavor of this was really good. However the texture of the meat reminds me of textured soy protein and not so much actual beef. I would get this again though. Shrimp: The shrimp I got was just called shrimp in the seafood section of the menu. The shell was still on which gave it a good crunch and the flavor was really good. However it was a little greasy and oily for my taste. Eggplant: The eggplant was the best item I got. No complaints. I would come back just for the eggplant alone. This was just called eggplant under the vegetables section. It was a little loud in the restaurant but that's expected when it's so busy. The restaurant was extremely dark and dim inside. When I left the restaurant at about 9 the outside was darker than inside the restaurant. read more

My parents love this place! We come here often when they are in town. We ordered the following dishes: 1. Dan Dan Noodles w/ Pork 2. Pork Intestines w/ Green Chili 3. Cumin Lamb 4. Mapo Tofu w/ Pork 5. Dry Fried String Beans w/ Pork 6. Dry Fried Eggplants Each dish was fantastic. The Cumin Lamb was my favorite and a must order! The lamb is fried to a perfect crisp and comes with fresh onions, scallions, celery, and red bell peppers. Each bite bursts with flavor! Additionally, if you're a fan of pork intestines (which can be an acquired taste), the Pork Intestines w/ Green Chili is well-prepared and a good choice! The food and service is consistently immaculate. Highly recommend! read more

Last night, we went to Yummy Spicy Restaurant for dinner. I think this restaurant opened in 2017 but we never went there. We finally went there last night. The food there is Sichuan dishes. Many are spicy. The menu was huge, many pages! The waiters were very helpful. We ordered Beef Tendon & Tripe in Chili Sauce for appetizer. For dinner, we ordered Yummy Onion with Shrimps & Spicy Fragrant Lamb. Beef Tendon & Tripe in Chili Sauce was excellent! I loved the chili sauce! Yummy Onion with Shrimps was amazing! Yummy & so many shrimps. We went to many restaurants in Atlanta, they all didn't have that many shrimps. Spicy Fragrant Lamb was great! I really didn't like lamb before. When I was four years old in Hong Kong, I had a soup with lamb. I hated that taste back then. Now, I decided to try lamb again. My husband really likes lamb. The dish was wonderful! The lamb tasted like very tender beef. There was so many lamb that we ended up bringing it home. We will DEFINITELY come back! The food was amazing. The price was very reasonable. The waiters were so helpful. We got so many shrimps & lamb! So many! I loved it! read more

Time before last our table got a stomach ache right after dinner there, and had the meanest waiter slamming shit around. It's been over a yr and a friend begged me to go- and it was good! Nice waiter, nice food though I miss not having fermented black bean in my twice cooked pork. I'm still hesitant, but so far it was nice. read more

Probably closer to a 4.5! Came here for lunch with my parents and had a lovely time. We ordered three lunch specials (twice-cooked pork, shredded pork with chili pepper, seafood hot pot) and one non-lunch special (combination hot pot, $19.95), all to share. The lunch specials are ~$10.95 and come with spring rolls, rice, soup (egg drop or hot/sour), and the entree, which is a great deal for the amount of food you get. It's worth noting that the hot pots aren't dry hot pot, as the menu photos suggest -- they come with a kind of oily broth -- but they're pretty delicious nonetheless. The twice-cooked pork was especially well done, and that's according to my Sichuanese mother. The restaurant was completely empty when we went for lunch, with the exception of some people coming to get take-out, which I attribute to the weirdly angled parking situation and somewhat hard-to-find location. Don't let that discourage you from trying this place out! read more

Yummy Spicy - Szechuan Near Me - Doraville, Georgia

This place was recommended to us as we can't seem to find decent Chinese food in north Atlanta. The quality of the ingredients were very good but I have never tasted such bland Chinese food. It was reasonably yummy. It was definite not spicy read more

This place's location is kind of easy to miss but I'd say it's a hidden gem. Firstly, service is just 6 out of 5 stars they break the scale. They're extremely catering, extremely aware of their customers, and you can tell they take pride in their business. Secondly, I love the cold water bottles they serve water out of and the cocktail looking glasses. Usually non-american restaurants give room temperature water and it tastes like sink but this was fresh and much appreciated!! Lastly, the food was great. We had the Kung pao chicken and the braised fish in chili oil. Both tasted crafted and different from what you'd usually taste anywhere else. I'd say this was a taste of real China to be honest it's not the westernized type Asian food which was awesome! Will definitely be back read more

My friends took me to Yummy Spicy for the first time, and although I'm glad to discover a new restaurant in the area, I was kind of expecting a little more. Given the name and the pictures, I was hoping for more spice to the foods. As someone who enjoys my food spicy, I did not think Yummy Spicy was hot at all- I had to ask for extra chili oil to dip my food in. I think that despite all the Asian/oriental restaurants around, Yummy Spicy IS different. It's definitely a different style, so yes, I would say that this restaurant is a hidden gem, and I would come here again and introduce other people to this restaurant. The food comes out quickly and service was good. The menu does a good job of describing each item so you know what you're ordering. And there's also some pictures. I wouldn't say I was disappointed in the food particularly, I just was hoping for more spice. I wanted a kick. At least that was the expectations I had for my food. I also think compare to other restaurants around, Yummy Spicy has a much more limited menu. There's not much to offer for noodle or rice dishes. I think they had about 4 different noodle dish options and only fried rice for rice dishes. Of course white rice comes complimentary with the entrees though. I also think their portion size is a little on the smaller end, especially for the price. You're looking to spend at least $12 a dish here, but most of the dish is filled up with the peppers so it looks big, but in actuality, its not that big. The price is comparative to surrounding Asian restaurants. I would definitely eat family style if you come here. The dishes we ordered were the baby wontons in chili oil, dry fried eggplant, braised fish in chili oil, yummy spicy chicken, and a noodle dish. My personal favorite was the braised fish in chili oil, but I'm a big fish person. I don't think this dish was spicy at all, but the fish is very soft and juicy. The sauce that it comes in tastes great if you eat it over rice with the fish. The baby wontons also weren't spicy at all. I actually dipped them in chili oil sauce again before eating. But this is also a dish I typically like to order at restaurants. Its a good appetizer if you're looking for something small. The yummy spicy chicken reminds me of Quickly's chicken nuggets, except bigger. And I honestly didn't care for the fried eggplant. If you're looking for a different restaurant other than your routine Chinese, Thai, Korean, or Vietnamese restaurant- check this place out! But if you're hoping for spicy, Yummy Spicy isn't as it appears. read more

Came here for lunch today (Friday afternoon). Parking is odd. Yummy Spicy shares a small free parking lot, and the parking spaces have angled lines painted, as if it's a one way drive through the parking lot. However, it's not, so look both ways as you pull out of your spot because cars will be driving both ways. The brick building looks like an old Mexican restaurant from the outside, and it was a little startling that the inside appearance of this location didn't have a strong Chinese theme. There are two dining areas, and the bigger one seems very much crowded. We were acknowledged as soon as we walked through the door, seated immediately and given menus. The menu is very extensive and has a lot of Chinese dishes that I've never heard of before. They have lunch specials, and that's what we selected from. I ordered Chicken with bamboo shoots lunch with a fried vegetable spring roll, and, from my options, selected white steamed rice and hot and sour soup. R ordered Mongolian Beef lunch (beef had a $2 upcharge) with a fried vegetable spring roll, and selected white steamed rice and egg drop soup. It didn't take long for our food to be served to us, and the portions were generous. My meal was delicious. I loved the firm and crunchy bamboo shoots. The only thing about this meal that I would've changed is to have the bits of chicken be larger. The cuts of chicken were about 2 inches long and very thin. The flavor of this was very good. The soup was good, and I thought it needed a little more spiciness to get it to the the "hot" level, since it was HOT and sour soup. The service could improve here. They didn't come to check in on us, and we had to ask for water a couple of times before they brought us glasses and a cold bottle of water. read more

Good Szechuan restaurant for a chill and spicy meal we came for dinner on a We had the spicy fragrant lamb: 3/5 it's quite tasty but the lamb pieces are deep fried low quality meat. Chili scallion chicken : 4.5/5 fried pieces of chicken, better quality than the lamb. Delicious fresh and fragrant Fried pork dumplings:4/5 good. Nothing notable Fried green beans: 4/5. Good but The pork (+$2) is not worth it though Service: 4/5 service was fast but we didn't get offered any water refills or anything really after we ordered. read more

This is probably my favorite Szechuan restaurant in Atlanta. (And I have eaten at a lot of them.) The Cumin Beef is out of this world. I dream about it. The restaurant is often crowed, but the team of servers always make sure you have what you need. The ambiance is pretty basic, but cute and cozy. But here it is all about the food--a lot of it piled with dry-fried Szechuan peppers. If you love spicy Chinese food, head out Buford Highway. It's worth the drive. read more

Loved their food, the restaurant is tiny and has limited seating. The quality of food is everything, it's a fast paced restaurant. They have a ginormous menu and everyone would have plenty of options regardless of diets(vegan, vegetarian, GF). Really enjoyed their vegetable Mala Tang (served with rice) and fried okra stir fry. They also serve fermented cabbage as an appetizer which is flavorful and crunchy. The portions are big and great value. They have ample of parking space and can be seen from regular traffic. They offer Dine in and to go. Not a date night place but definitely good for hanging out or dining alone. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable. Will definitely visit again. read more

My cousins and I got here at around 7:30 and were surprised to see it was packed forgetting it's a Friday night after all. The wait was about 10 minutes to get seated. We ordered drinks and went ahead and put in our food as well. We didn't wait long for the food to come out either. We ordered 5 dishes, sizzling black pepper beef, Mapo tofu, Bok Choy with mushrooms, veggie fried rice and Kung pao chicken. They were all delicious and would definitely recommend! My fave was the hot green tea it came in the prettiest kettle I've seen.The service was great, they were attentive and friendly. read more

Almost every Saturday I'm in Gwinnett county now so I'm looking forward to trying more restaurants on Buford highway. I wanted chinese food and something spicy so went to yelp and decided that Yummy sounded like a good option. It's a very small restaurant and it was perfect for this introvert that was dining solo. Several tables had customers so I was placed at a table with 4 chairs and brought a menu. The menu is divided up my proteins with a veggie section also. In the dining room there was a projector in playing asian karaoke shows, the music was nice. I ordered green tea and was brought out a mini tea pot and the tea was very hot, boiling hot so I had to wait several minutes to take a sip. Also the tea was not good, it tasted old. For my meal, I ordered Sichuan shrimp $15.95 and fried eggplant. I forgot how large asian portions are and when the items came out, it was a lot of food for one person. I was also pretty excited because I would have leftovers. Food came out very fast and everything looked delicious. The food came with complimentary steamed rice which was very nice. Everything tasted very good and was very flavorful, I enjoyed each bite. Food 4 stars Ambience 4 stars Reason for the 3 stars is the service; I had to ask for water, to go box, my check. Nobody really checked on me to see if I needed anything else. I don't necessarily think they were rude, they just didn't see a need. For such a small and intimate place someone could have said bye as I was leaving or thanked me for stopping by but that didn't happen. I just expected something different from what appears to be a small family business. I might stop by again but probably not anytime soon unless I'm picking up something to go. read more

Yummy Spicy - Trying a new restaurant - Szechuan Near Me - Doraville, Georgia

Yummy, but not that spicy! That's the 5 word review. We thought the menu had a lot to offer and we "only" were able to try ~8 dishes with our group of 5. Everything was delicious, but the classic "numbing" spice from Szechuan cuisine didn't shine through in any of the items we ordered. Highly recommend ordering family style -- there's even a lazy susan in the middle of the table to encourage you to share. The dishes we tried were: - Szechuan Cold Noodles ($8.95): delicious! - Spicy Fragrant Lamb ($20.95): good, not spicy and a little chewy - Yummy Spicy Chicken ($16.95): a table favorite, crispy chicken with chilis, but not numbing - Dry Fried String Beans ($13.95): a must order - Bok Choy with Mushroom ($15.95): the mushrooms were the star here - Black Pepper Beef ($18.95): really good - Wontons in chili oil ($6.99): great price for 6pcs but not my favorite although the sauce was good - Cauliflower with Pork ($15.95): lightly fried and very good There are also lots of things I would like to try if I come back, but I would probably recommend Masterpiece or Fire Stone over this one if someone really wanted spicy food. However, this restaurant has more variety, is cheaper, and is less busy. Lastly, a note of caution: steer clear of the milk tea drinks. It was very sweet, almost chemical-y sweet, and unlike tea. Go to one of the many places around here that specialize in boba if you want a sweet treat after your meal. read more
