Really nice authentic Chinese Szechuan dim sum and hot pot. Clean restaurant, good service, accommodating to children. I would definitely eat here again.

If you are looking for spicy (like mouth numbing spicy) food in the Northeast, Spice Bistro is a must try! They have pre-made appetizers and chef specials but they are known for their build your own spicy dry stir fry or their build your own spicy hot pot. The way it works is you pick either stir fry or soup base. Then you can add vegetables, proteins, and noodles to the base choice. Finally, you need to choose your spicy level (none, mild, medium, or spicy). We got the spicy stir fry with fried dough, enoki mushroom, beef slices, lamb slices, and potatoes with medium spice. It was spicy. Two bites in and I was already starting to feel numb (definitely will recommend no spice or mild for everyone who can't handle spicy food). The flavor was amazing though. The portion sizes are huge so definitely recommend coming with a couple of friends! The host was super nice and friendly. They checked up on us multiple times throughout the night to make sure we had water and to check if we had any questions. This is definitely a great spot to bring a group of people to. It's a really chill and relaxing vibe. I would definitely come back here again! ** if you are looking to try something completely new and different, I highly recommend their icy rice dessert, which is a Fuzhou specialty. It's basically steamed rice served in icy sugary water topped with fruits and jelly. In this case it was topped with watermelon, lychee, lychee jelly, herbal jelly, and peanuts. Super refreshing especially after the spicy stir fry.

Came here Saturday with the family to eat. Pleasantly surprised by the food quality, fresh and we appreciated how clean, tidy, and modern the place was. Just wish they have more things on the menu. The people working there were very attentive to our table and when we were ordering helped out. Would definitely come back.

Great food, great atmosphere, great staff, and overall great place PERIOD! Delicious Spicy Authentic Szechuan food right in NE Philly.

The pig feet was so good wish it came with something else on the side tho ! So flavorful.

Came here on a weekday during lunch as their sign had caught my eye since it was new. This seems to be a family owned business and the staff was nice and friendly. The place itself is clean and spacious. I do love that they have a tiny wooden table for kids to sit. We ordered take out in which the food came out promptly (15 mins). How this works is you pick your base: dry or soup ($8.99) and then add anything additional for more money. The base does come with some noodles, lotus roots, seaweed knots and some veggies. For my order, I had the base soup with fatty lamb and we also got the spicy base with fatty lamb, enoki mushrooms and tofu skin. My husband enjoyed the spicy one as it was full of flavor. My base one was good but a bit bland. I'm not sure if due to being take out, the portions were not as big as I thought they would be BUT it does fill you up. I'm also not sure what the difference is between the VIP pricing vs regular as we were charged regular. Overall, it really adds up as you're picking additional toppings. Next time, we'll probably give it a try in person to see if portions are comparable.
