My husband, toddler and I went to Spice Spring for the first time last night (a Wednesday night). The interior is incredible! There are stunning ceiling tiles, artwork, lots of gold, and chandeliers. My baby especially loved the chandeliers. The entire area was very clean as well. There is ample seating, as well as dim sum tables available. The menu is extensive, covering very traditional authentic dishes as well as your recognizable American-Chinese staples. There are even some Thai dishes on the menu! Also to note-the staff members were very friendly with our toddler, and one of the cooks even came out to give her her own fortune cookies!
We were very impressed with the dishes we ordered, two entrees and a dessert dish. The portions are served family style, you're meant to share them with whomever you are dining with. We had enough for leftovers for the next day! The dessert dish was not too sweet, and was deliciously savory.
My husband's dish (Sichuan style dry pot diced chicken) was served in a bowl heated by a flame underneath-very cool! The chicken was incredible, it was perfectly seasoned and the rest of the dish contained dry red chilies, potato chunks, and sliced garlic. Absolutely amazing! I ordered the Singapore Noodles. I am very particular about my Singapore Noodles-a number of places where I've had this dish will make them with a watery, thin curry sauce and sometimes with thicker noodles (they should be thin noodles). I've had Singapore noodles across three countries, two continents, and multiple states, and the one by Spice Spring is almost exactly like my favorite restaurant in New York where I ordered it for years. Spice Spring makes it my preferred way-it was cooked nice and dry with the curry spice perfectly covering the noodles, not a sauce (watery or otherwise) covering the noodles. The chicken was delicious, and they listened to my request for no shrimp as well. The dessert dish was a sweet rice cake with brown sugar and soybean powder. This has an addictive savory taste with a lot of depth, and the rice cakes were deliciously chewy. We even had a few of those left over to take home!
We are already talking about what dishes we might order on our next visit, since we will absolutely be visiting again very soon! Definitely recommend!
UPDATE
We had to go back again in less than a week! This time we ordered two different dishes and also two kinds of tea. The waitress recommended her favorite, the chrysanthemum, and we also ordered jasmine. Both were great, and went well with our dinner. This visit we ordered the Red-Braised Pork Meatballs (I've seen this called elsewhere Red Braised Lionshead Meatballs), Spicy Dry Pot Cabbage, and the Plain Chang Fun from the dim sum menu. Everything was fantastic! We agreed that going forward, we must always order the Spicy Dry Pot Cabbage to share when we go for dinner-it was that good! The staff were again very friendly, and they visited with our toddler a few times and gave her her own fortune cookie again. Our girl already seems to love Spice Spring! We can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu again. read more
