We had a great experience at Spicy & Cloud! The noodles were absolutely delicious and tasted very fresh. The service was excellent as well—everyone was very friendly and attentive. Our water was always refilled without us even having to ask, which was a really nice touch. Overall, great food and amazing service. We would definitely come back!

They must have someone’s grandma cooking back there because it felt like home cooking! The flavors are perfect! Best dumpling soup I’ve ever had!

Very nice place, felt very authentic and homely. The staff were very nice and sweet. The restaurant was crowded, the food tasted great, so it makes sense. I got the pork wonton in spicy chili oil, it had a lot of sichuan pepper and I could feel my tongue go numb. I loved the spice and the flavor, although I’ve had better ones. But do give this place a try, all the other options look great too, I didn’t get to try them.

We have enjoyed dinner today. The food was delicious & delightful. The steamed cabbage is a must try. Shrimp fried rice, General Tso, chicken orange chicken, three different types of soups, barbecue lamb skewers. Everything was perfect. The lady was so nice to us who worked there. When we come back to visit this will be apart of our stops💯💯

Affordable homemade feel Chinese food great at the restaurant and delivery. I personally enjoyed the braised beef, they have many spicy items on the menu, and the overall taste is quite light, not too much salt and very enjoyable. I would recommend making a reservation if you're going at peak dinner time.
