    Delicious spicy food with great flavor and just the right heat. Prices are very reasonable, and the restaurant is clean and comfortable. Would definitely come back!

    This place caught my attention as I walked by because everything on their display menu looked so affordable. I've been here many times for brunch and my experience has always been positive despite the price increase. As a big fan of spicy Chinese food, I've been to many restaurants that serve dishes full of red peppers but don't taste spicy at all. This place's food made me sweat every single time and so I am satisfied. They have classic Chinese spicy dishes that taste the same or better than some big places I've been to at a more affordable price. Personally, I enjoyed every dish I ordered at this place so far except for the stew duck with beer in spicy sauce. This is a dish that I haven't had for at least 15 years and I was beyond excited to see it on the menu. I didn't expect it to taste the same as the one in my memory. However, it just didn't taste good and didn't remind me of anything. Service was always good every time I went. Overall, I think this place serves very decent food for the price based on my experience.

    What a hidden treasure in the 99 Ranch Market near IKEA in Kent! This place is solid! It's refreshing to hear the cook whistling happily as he's cooking in the kitchen in this cozy little shop! So many of the Chinese restaurants on the Eastside have been up and down with mercenary cooks I'm just tired of the inconsistency. You may have to wait a little as it's a small operation, but good tastes comes to those who wait! Give it a try!

    This is a really great spicy chinese food restaurant, it is inside the ranch 99 market place. The parking lot is always full. but you can always find parking. the dishes are delicious and has a very great portion.

    Spicy dry beef and pickled fish
    Ruochen W.

    I was craving some tasty Sichuan food so Spicy Chong Qing was a lucky find in the convenient and popular 99 Ranch plaza. My friend and I ordered the pickled fish and spicy dry beef appetizer, both classic dishes. The portion sizes where are very generous and the food tastes great. Another positive tell is that at an odd 3:00 Sun afternoon, the lunch crowd still sustained a waiting list. There's tons of good food options around but next time I come to Renton craving Asian food, Spicy Chong Qing will be high on the list! There's many other Sichuan dishes I didn't have the capacity to order this time that I made a note of for the next!

    Came here late on a Friday night, but still plenty of ppl inside. The service was good overall and the food came out quick. This is right inside the Great Wall Shopping Mall in the southmost entrance on the west side of the building. Large parking lot, but can get busy at times. I think we got the Seafood Tofu Pot, Wonton, Some spicy beef dish, green pepper and potato and a single cooked noodle? The tofu pot was okay, the potato and noodle soup were pretty decent, but the wonton was not good, nor the spicy beef dish. Wonton was just really bland and didn't taste fresh, and the spicy beef dish was just really oily and fatty. So, I guess still very similar to my experience from a year and a half ago. Deduct a star from last time because I was expecting more? Or at least some improvement I guess.

    Authentic Chinese restaurant, very casual vibes. Ordered ourselves with the QR codes so not much service needed/required. Food was spicy, but very good. Will be going back.

    It looks like there were a lot of bad reviews recently but my experience wasn't too bad. It was one of the only restaurants open at 8pm on a weeknight in the mall so I was glad they were able to seat us. The servers were overwhelmed and even the kitchen help came out to help wait tables. Don't expect good service or even decent service but as least I got water after asking twice. We got the green beans, ma po tofu and the Chong Qing noodles. The green beans were really good. The ma po tofu was different than other places I've had and on the sweeter side. The noodles were good as was the soup. The spice level was good and not as overwhelming as I would have expected from Sichuan food. Definitely recommend getting rice to go with the dishes. I saw other people order a lot of interesting dishes so I will definitely be back again to try some other things on the menu. It was just the two of us so we didn't get a 15% service charge that another review mentioned. That could have been for bigger parties.

    Left to right: toothpick lamb, Chongqing hot pot, potato and green pepper
    Caleb P.

    Ordered the chongqing hot pot, stir fried potato with pepper and toothpick lamb. The hot pot was good, I wish the Sichuan peppercorn spice was stronger tho :P the mushrooms and pork intestine were my favorite things in there. Also, there were a lot of fumes coming from the hotpot burner Never had lamb like this before, but it seems to lose its gaminess after being fried. Heavy flavor, MSGy, oily, good stuff. 4 stars for the food, but the service could have been better: we ordered rice and it never came...

    Combination Dry Hot Pot - like a kitchen sink of flavors!
    Cynthia T.

    We had the Fried Chicken Cubes with Hot Pepper, Chong Qing Noodles, and the Combination in Dried Pot. Having had Schezuan food before , we were all in for the tingly spice! You order from your table thru a QR code and ordertogo.com website. The menu can be overwhelming with so many choices and not all of the items have photos. The restaurant was super busy on a Thursday night. Good sign that everyone looked like they were enjoying their food. Service was great and all the food we saw looked amazing so we took a chance on the Featured Specials section of the menu. I have to give a special mention for the Combination in Dried Pot. First, it comes in a dish kept warm over flame. It reminds me of army stew, everything you can think of in a pot with a spicy sauce. It was my first time trying lotus root which was thinly sliced, slightly crunchy and starchy. Along with the lotus, there were wood ear and shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, green beans, tripe, beef, luncheon meat aka Spam, and as weird as it sounds, potatoes in the form of French fries all simmering in that spicy pepper sauce. Scoop that all on some rice and it's like comfort food Schezuan style. The location is convenient, right in Great Wall. We will be back to try the spicy fish and fragrant toothpick lamb!

    Shredded Pork with Bamboo Shoot Tip
    Eva M.

    Spicy Chong Qing is inside the Great Wall Mall. The prices are ok, the portions are on the small side (smaller than nearby restaurants), and the food is 'ok'. Maybe I didn't choose wisely, but the best I can say is 'ok'. The food: Spicy Garlic Eggplant Thank goodness the container is black so I can't see clearly the lots and lots and lots of oil that this dish is swimming in. Even so, you can see it in my photo. Before I started eating, I poured out all the oil first. It's worth losing some of the sauce. Flavor wise, it's very good. Its spicy name delivers the kick. I just don't think my arteries can handle the oil. Shredded Pork with Bamboo Shoot Tip I chose this because I'm a fan of good, fresh bamboo. Some pieces were better than others; some pieces were still very chewy/stringy. Pretty big bummer. The pork pieces didn't have a discernable flavor, other than cooked. Very unfortunate. The saucy eggplant came in handy to flavor the pork. The front desk lady barely spoke enough English to take the order in English. I ended up using my feeble Mandarin to communicate. I might be feeling generous giving them 3 stars. It could be 2 stars. There are definitely better places, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt with only two dishes ordered.

    2021.06.09. Lamb on Stick $14.99 @ Spicy Chong Qing
    J Z.

    Rating for Chong Qing Style Fish, it was basically kind of boiling Tilapia fish in a large flat plate. A little bit overpriced (however all food price going up these days), $29.99 for basic, +$5 ($35 total, no reason for different fish sizes, in my opinion) for large fish. It was really really delicious, especially for whom from Szechuan China or like Chinese hot spicy food. The so called "hot-spicy" is pronounced "Ma-La" in Chinese. The "Ma" is from those small green Szechuan vine peppers, producing a numb feeling at tone and melting down the "La" (hot) from red chili peppers. The "Ma-La" represents most of famous Szechuan style, comparing to dry-hot (Hunan, China) and sour-hot (Guizhou and Yunnan, China) cuisines. More and more authentic Chinese food come to Great Seattle area. May not be able to compete with California (e.g. Irvine and Bay area) yet. Typically for such restaurant opened in 99 Ranch Market shopping mall, which collects some best cuisines, if not the best brands. There was actually another hot fish (Buerjia) in the same shopping mall but not opened due to COVID-19.

    Spicy Eggplant
    Sari S.

    I give 4 stars because the food is good, not great. I have had much better ones from other Sichuan restaurants. Definitely convenient as far as location since you know the number one rule for grocery shopping is to never shop with hungry stomach. Service was fast but trying to call the order was a challenge due to language and accent barriers. In the end, all worked out great. Spicy Eggplant - I do love this one as it's sweetness balance the other 4 dishes' saltiness. Not as spicy as the same dish served at other restaurants. Spicy Fried Chicken - hum, the last time I had this dish was from a Sichuan restaurant in Atlanta. This dish is still yummy but not spicy at all, especially if it's compared to the one I had in Atlanta. Dry Fried Green Beans - okay, I made better one than this one. Still good but mine,... made my guests speechless... Spicy Tofu - again it's not that spicy at all, taste can be improved a bit... Chongqing Spicy Fish - my husband loves this dish so much. The flavor is great but the type of fish they use is not the best for this dish. Overall, our bellies are happy to have these dishes before heading to Crystal Mountain for the weekend.

Its also noted that they use milk in their sous so be aware. They did add a tomato based soup, but there wasnt much details on if they still included the nuts and milk, so please confirm with the staff. I love spicy so I got it spicy, but to me it wasn't but to the rest of the crew, they were sweating. And the staff does advise not to get it if you cant do spicy. If you like pork, the crew got the sweet and sour pork. Its different from other spots since the pork is flattened out. And they said it has a nice crunch and taste. They do have drinks available for purchase from soda to asian teas thats to the right of the register. Service was good, the staff was friendly and nice!

The wontons weren't super spicy, but the flavors were good, and the wonton itself was tasty. The top dish for me, though, was the beef braised noodle soup.

The bok choy added that freshness and crunch that complemented the soup really well. From the tender meat, the chewy noodles, and the bok choy, this soup is my absolute favorite item here so far.

He sold the place to the previous owner who rebranded as Sans Wok Express. When the place opened the flavor, price and portion were all unbelievable and unbeatable. For years this was the case, then the price would go up about 10% at least twice a year, then the portions got smaller and post covid, the flavor also suffered like they were cutting corners. They would skimp on sauces and dishes that were generous with protein because heavy with vegetables, so instead of Mongolian Beef, it was Mongolian Onion. Really nice people, but after my last visit, I said I most likely wouldn't be back because it just wasn't worth the money. Ironically, I gave them another chance today and was surprised. When I pulled into the lot I knew something was different as I saw someone sitting inside and the place had been takeout only since Covid. The décor was also modern and warm and when I didn't see the original chef or server, I assumed there was a new owner. The menu was exactly the same, but it was a new owner and she told me she had owned the place since New Years Day. So, it's obviously been more than a year since I decided not to come back. I had the Mongolian Beef and it was pretty good. I'm sure you would love it, but I actually like mine sugar free. That said, it wasn't as sweet as most places, so respect to the chef. The lunch combo was entree, rice and soup. No more spring roll. The hot and sour was ok, but it wasn't thickened and lacked chicken stock. The new owner is really nice and I'm hoping the business comes back. This place used to always be nearly full. I think after 4-5 years of take out only, people stopped coming here. Take out is great, but I prefer dine in. It hotter, fresher and I don't have any trash. Again, when you keep the same name as the previous business, there is no flag to the community that you changed the recipes and possibly have a better menu. Either way, come back, I think you'll be pleased.

If you agree with me, please say something to the staff, and maybe they'll eventually listen. This is a real shame. The food quality is quite good. I might just do take-out from now on. There are other high quality Chinese and Asian dining options, that's the bright side of living in this area.
