I picked Spicy Girl because I saw they had a 4.7-star rating on Google and the food photos looked really good. Unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing takeout meals I've had. The egg roll was very greasy and not crispy at all. The cream cheese puff was extremely chewy and also lacked any crispiness. The biggest disappointment was the green curry. It honestly tasted like boiling water with a light dash of green curry paste. It was completely bland. You could tell it was a bad curry just by the color of the dish. The menu says it comes with eggplant, basil, and coconut milk, but mine had a huge amount of onions and peppers instead. This was the worst green curry I have ever tasted. I don't understand how this dish is on the menu in its current form. The General Tso's chicken was lacking flavor, and the combo fried rice was also very bland. I ordered multiple dishes hoping at least one would be good, but every single item was disappointing. I chose this place because of the excellent reviews, so I was genuinely shocked by the quality of the food I received. I should have just ordered Panda Express or gone somewhere else. Very disappointed and unfortunately will not order from here again.
My new favorite midtown Chinese restaurant! Decided to stop by for takeout on a Monday afternoon and oh boy I'm sure glad I did! I ordered for takeout so I wasn't able to eat inside but I did check it out and it looked like a pretty nice cool place! But let's talk about the food and the super fast and nice service! The food was ready in less than 15 minutes! Talk about fast good right? The food was so good! We got the combination fried rice (9/10) three pepper chicken (10/10) combination low mien (9/10) veggie egg rolls 10/10 and chicken egg rolls also a 10/10. It is pricey though so this isn't your "low budget" type of Chinese cuisine. But it is good so I'll definitely be back!
Spicy Girl ended up being exactly what we were looking for after a long night out in Houston. We ordered off their late-night menu and went with the hot spicy dumplings and general tso chicken, and both hit the spot in that very specific "late-night but not greasy bar food" way. The dumplings had a nice kick without being overwhelming, and the general tso chicken was crisp, flavorful, and comforting. It felt like a step up from typical late-night takeout options, both in freshness and overall flavor. What made the experience even better was the area itself. After eating, we walked around and the whole neighborhood still had energy even late on a weekend--live music nearby, a pizza-by-the-slice spot across the street, and even a padel and pickleball facility not too far off, plus tattoo shops and other spots still open. Overall, it was a great late-night stop in Houston: good food, quick service, and a lively surrounding area that makes you want to stick around a bit longer instead of heading straight home.
I was feeling hangry on this chilly night, so my friends and I decided to try Spicy Girl before heading to Axelrad. Since it's Midtown, good luck with parking! We had to park in a nearby neighborhood and walk over. The interior was cozy, and it wasn't too packed on a Saturday night! Our waitress was lovely, though there was a mix-up splitting the payment; it was sorted out quickly. I ordered the Dan Dan noodles since I assumed that this is one Szechuan dish that's hard to mess up. Boy was I wrong... the portions were quite large, but after mixing the noodles, it came out EXTREMELY plain; I never thought I'd see 'plain' and 'Dan Dan noodles' or 'Szechuan' in the same paragraph. There was barely any flavor at all. In my experience, Dan Dan noodles traditionally have a spicy, almost numbing kick, are drenched in chili oil, and have a thick, creamy texture. Still, that expectation was not delivered at all. One could argue that there are various ways to prepare this dish, but Spicy Girl's preparation was not up my alley whatsoever. My three other friends had the Mapo Tofu, and I had to take some of their broth and tofu to elevate the taste of the noodles; while it did help, I think it's a bit ridiculous that I had to do that to improve my dish, when it should be solid on its own. My experience was quite disappointing, and pales in comparison to other Szechuan restaurants in the Houston area, such as Wanna Bao or Mala Sichuan, so unfortunately, I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon.
four words : salt and pepper fish ORDER THE SALT & PEPPER FISH!!! this dish speaks to my bay area california native spirit!!! this is one of my favorite meals to eat. its a go-to and a staple for me. i've also had the spicy girl fish, shrimp fried rice and garlic green beans. all amazing ! but i keep going back for the salt & pepper fish. i've dined in and ordered takeout, always amazing! when dining in, the staff are chill. this is a casual restaurant. one of the great things about it is, it's open extremely late, and the lateness does not compromise the integrity of the deliciousness. give it a try, and let me know what you think! bonne appétit
Came on a Sunday evening and seated immediately Dress code: shorts casual Food 4.5/5: got their Fish jumped out of water, Walnut shrimp, Spicy dry pot, Three flavored pepper chicken and the Mapo Tofu. Everything was very flavorful and delicious except the fish was a bit bland. Caution, this is a Szechuan restaurant so most of their dishes r quite spicy and numbed with peppercorn. I recommend their combo dry pot. Ambiance 3.5/5: chill, casual ambiance, wood furnishing. Clean and well lit. Service 5/5: super friendly and caring, food came out super fast and staff were quick with water refills Value 4.5/5: 6 dishes with tax and tip for 123$ is pretty darn good value. Overall 4.5/5: Great place for casual Szechuan food, would come back Parking: paid garage parking next door is what we did, can otherwise be difficult to find street parking
Did delivery here and The food at Spicy Girl was so good, and paired with my beverage it was the perfect balance. This spot definitely feels like a treat. The menu is not overly expensive, but it is also not an everyday casual price point. It is the kind of place you go when you want to enjoy something special. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Portions were solid and felt very fair for the price, which I really appreciated. Everything tasted well prepared and satisfying. I was referred here by my best friend, and it absolutely did not disappoint. This is definitely a place I will be back to and would confidently recommend for the value, quality, and freshness of the food.
FOOD WAS SO GOOD I FORGOT TO TAKE MORE PICTURES. We just drove into houston for the thanksgiving break and a friend suggested spicy girl for dinner. there was free street parking all around the restaurant after 6pm so it was perfect timing. no wait for a table of 5 people but it was also a wednesday. we ordered mapo tofu, three pepper chicken, walnut shrimp, green beans, and fried fish. it was DELICIOUS and the perfect amount for us. we were stuffed. the server was also so so kind and kept checking in on us and refilling our waters. she would make quick conversation with us and made us feel like regulars. would definitely recommend!
As with most places, there are pros and cons. I just happen to be a big fan of good beef noodle soups all around, but I'll get to that in a bit. First off, this is an establishment that has perfect placement and planning for late night eats, being around the midtown area. Ever felt hungry after a night at the bars? I think everybody has. This place is perfect walking distance. And that's great, because the parking situation is lacking. If ever thinking of driving there, expect to try to find street parking somewhere, pray that it's close by, and then walk on over. But yes, the atmosphere is nice and welcoming! Service is solid - you can tell people are really trying here. Good decor. They even have an area with Spicy Girl swag! Considering the location of this being around Midtown as opposed to Bellaire, when you're walking in, you'll notice this isn't exactly a place where the natives go. It's a very diverse crowd. That said, the food is solid overall! I did a massive takeout order from here as I was hosting friends. Tried a variety of dishes. It was a success! I'd say the "Fish Jump Out of Water" dish impressed me quite a bit with how tender the fish was. I'm a bit curious how different this dish is compared to their water-boiled fish. Also - as I was waiting for my food, I noticed many tables ordered the 3-flavor pepper chicken. The presentation of that dish is pretty incredible. I myself ordered the 3-flavor pepper intestine (I'm a fan of intestines prepared correctly). This dish was solid! Same with the eggplant, beef, chicken, and pork dishes I ordered. All tasty. But we go back to the beef noodle soup. Because when I see on the menu, "Taiwan Beef Noodle Soup," my eyes light up. See, I LOVE Taiwan beef noodle soup. So a day earlier, while dining in, my instincts told me I had to try their Taiwan beef noodle soup. Dining in for a dish like this is the only way to go. Unfortunately, this dish was a bit lacking. Sure, the taste was fine. The broth is good. The noodles taste fine, but they also taste like they were the stick noodles bought from the Chinese supermarket, which is fine because that's what I do for my own cooking and it still tastes good, it's just it's not as good as some other establishments with high-quality beef noodle soup. Also, the beef is more chewy than tender, and almost could be described as more tough than chewy. However, I can see how on a drunk night after the bars, this could still be a hit! It's just not the dish that I would recommend for the ultimate Spicy Girl experience. One more thing: when I tried to order online for takeout to try to save time, the payment system wasn't working and I had to drive there, order takeout on site, and just hang out there and wait. I could tell the workers were hustling hard to get me the food quickly, which they did, bravo. But that's an added obstacle of slight inconvenience to the experience. So overall, not a bad place to go. In fact, a pretty brilliant place to walk to after the bars. But also, there are dishes to go for more than others. And combined with the inconveniences such as parking and online payment not working, that's why I have it rated as slightly above average, but perhaps not elite in a crowd of strong Houston restaurants.
Late night cravings? This place has some great Chinese cuisine that they do take out style in restaurant after normal dining hours. They have lots of self seating and their menu is available on the QR code at the table. Ordering is made very simple, you order through their QR code and the food is brought out when it's ready. However, if you are planning to split bills or checks, you'll need to order separately. The food came out hot and fresh, and it was good quality for late night kitchen service. The portions are decent and filling we came as a group of four and each of us ordered an entrée and some starters like the eggrolls and we were definitely satisfied at the end of our meal. The drinks are nothing special but they do quench the cravings. There is no real service after hours, but the staff is fairly and hopeful, fair warning, there is no water service either and they only do bottled water for charge. The restaurant itself has a great chill vibe, but it can be noisy, but that's to be expected.
Mapo tofu genuinely one of my favorite dishes of all time, and I can say without a shadow or a doubt this is the worst mapo tofu I've ever had. It feels wrong even calling it mapo tofu to be honest, it lacked any peppercorn, was not spicy in the slightest, and had the consistency of soup compared to the more viscous consistency I've come to expect from my mapo tofu. I would have a bit more leniency if it had good taste at the very least, but while it wasn't unedible it was mediocre at best and I found myself putting siracha to get through the last half of my plate. Seeing such a poor representation of one of my all time favorite dishes brings me great sadness, as it might dissuade someone from ordering it at a place that does it properly and may even scare people off tofu dishes in general.
Spicy girls is a very convenient place to go to if you have the midnight munchies. Beware, parking is fairly limited. Plan accordingly. There's a modest seeing Arrangement inside. This is a very self-serve oriented experience. There are no waters served on site. You'll have to order from the QR code, particularly at late night hours after 9:00 p.m. Food is generally well prepared and meet fast food expectations. I would almost want to compare the flavor profile similarly to Panda Express. Not to say that this is bad by any means. Just dependable, reliable, and predictable. If simplicity and predictability is what you're going for, then this is the place. Mongolian beef was well prepared and juicy. I just wish there was a little more beef. But I still enjoyed the dining experience for what it was. Thai tea was a little bit more on the bland side but it's all right.
Solid late night option for comforting Sichuan food, There's a decent variety of dishes on their menu from dim sum, breakfast to even Chinese street foods. (They even have peking duck here too!) and you order via a QR code at the table, and the food comes out pretty efficient. The atmosphere is decent for a late-night spot... We came in late on a Friday, around 11pm, and there was still a lot going on.. There were staff organizing and some even making zongzi (粽子) while we were there. Lots of walk-in traffic and nonstop to-go orders. We sat at a booth, and I was able to briefly chat with one of the ladies *owner/manager in Mandarin and she was really friendly. Food-wise, it's good enough for this area. I'm not comparing it to Chinatown spots, but it still hits. The mapo tofu wasn't as intense as places like Mala Sichuan, and the dan dan noodles weren't as authentic as some others I've had, but everything was still flavorful.. The three pepper chicken dish was the standout at our table. Overall, good service and you really can't beat this kind of food at that hour. They're open until 330am on weekends, which is kind of wild, but makes sense once you see the late-night crowd. Parking can be tight in the lot, but there's a garage nearby and street parking if you can find it.

Would recommend (late night). Stopped in at Spicy Girls during their late-night service. They have a separate menu and ordering style late at night -- it's all QR code, pay-on-your-phone ordering. So if you come in late in the evening, know the menu is more condensed and everything comes in to-go boxes. There's no real waiter; everything's just brought to you and you pay on the app. Using the QR code and app was simple and easy -- if you've been to Japan or other places that do it this way, it's a seamless setup. The menu was condensed when it came up, so we ordered a selection of things. Taiwanese beef noodle soup, $14.99 -- a pretty big serving. Three people could share it as a small bowl, or one person could make a full meal of it. Not packed with vegetables -- a little bok choy -- but the noodles were good and it had chunks of beef cooked nice and tender. The tendons were left on, though, and were a bit chewy; they could've cooked a little longer. The broth reminded me of a mapo tofu type broth -- super Szechuan-y and super oily. I enjoyed the flavor, but my wife said it was kinda mid. Would recommend it, just understand it's a very oily, spicy soup. Dandan noodles (added vegetables) -- some of the better dandan noodles I've had. You can add proteins and vegetables to pretty much anything on the menu. These came warm, which I appreciated -- a lot of times I've had them served cold, but these were good. I'd suggest them as a side noodle or something small. The serving was still pretty big, but to me it's more of an accoutrement than a main dish. General Tso's chicken -- mid at best. Honestly I'd take Panda Express orange chicken over this. Decent portion and it wasn't dry, it just wasn't flavorful -- the batter wasn't crunchy or flavorful either. Could've done without it, so I wouldn't suggest it. Spicy fried fish -- really good. It's sort of like a salt-and-pepper fish, except they hit it with a three-pepper blend and toss it in extra garlic, Szechuan spice, jalapeños, and the like. We enjoyed it a lot -- we even had enough for leftovers, and reheated in the microwave the next day it was still solid. Strong recommendation here. Fried rice (upgrade from white rice, +~$3) -- can't really suggest it. It wasn't awesome, especially for a $3 upcharge -- basically just rice tossed in oil with some green onions. No extra carrots, peas, or anything like that when we had it. We could've saved six bucks getting the white rice and probably been fine. A couple of things to note: they have beer and sake on the after-hours menu, and it's somewhat reasonably priced. All in all, an enjoyable experience. If you're looking for late-night Chinese food -- especially after hours, like midnight or later -- this is a place worth checking out. I'd also like to try their daytime menu sometime, since it's more versatile and would probably be slightly better. In the end, I'd recommend going here late night if you're in the area and looking for Chinese food. And I'd possibly return. read more
Located in south downtown / midtown. Parking is a hassle; it's paid street parking or you will be doing some walking trying to find unpaid parking options. The staff is very friendly and the interior is a bit chaotic with the takeout orders. We got a few dishes to share; Beef flat noodle: 3/5, not much beef in there and it was lacking a bit of the wok hei flavor 3 flavor pepper chicken: 2.5/5, these are fairly weak spicy chicken cubes. The batter needs some work and the marinade / seasoning is a bit bland Orange beef: 2.5/5. The sauce is overwhelmingly sweet and not very flavorful Pork with garlic sauce: 3.5/5. The flavor isn't bad but the knife work needs some work; the julienned veggies need to be similar in length and width to the meat. The ratio of the ingredients is a bit off compared to how it's traditionally done so Overall, it seems to be a popular takeout spot in this area but lacks the flavor and traditional flavors of these Sichuan and Northern style dishes read more

I picked Spicy Girl because I saw they had a 4.7-star rating on Google and the food photos looked really good. Unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing takeout meals I've had. The egg roll was very greasy and not crispy at all. The cream cheese puff was extremely chewy and also lacked any crispiness. The biggest disappointment was the green curry. It honestly tasted like boiling water with a light dash of green curry paste. It was completely bland. You could tell it was a bad curry just by the color of the dish. The menu says it comes with eggplant, basil, and coconut milk, but mine had a huge amount of onions and peppers instead. This was the worst green curry I have ever tasted. I don't understand how this dish is on the menu in its current form. The General Tso's chicken was lacking flavor, and the combo fried rice was also very bland.

3 flavor pepper chicken was nice and crisp. Spicy boiled beef was incredibly flavorful. Portions were sizable. Quick and professional service. Inside was nice. Nothing fancy but a good atmosphere. read more
I would give 5 stars for the following dishes: Fish with tofu in spicy sauce Spicy crispy chicken Unfortunately, the beef chow foon was lacking in both flavor and wok hei (smokiness), and the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) were also mid (no flavor in the soup). So I think this place can be really good if you get the right dishes, but lacks consistency. read more

Late night cravings came down to this spot with my group. There was a late night menu that was to-go style and quick. The place was nicely lit and the people working there were friendly as well. We started off with the hot spicy pork dumplings. These were soo delicious. I was just slurping these away. The sauce was great. For the main meal we got the Taiwanese beef noodle soup and the 3 flavor pepper chicken. Both were great and flavorful. read more
Divine. Maybe because I was starving. Maybe it was the wonderful company. Maybe it was the mushrooms. Everything was delicious. It has been a while since I've been here and thank God I came. The chow fun was superb, honey ginger tea delivered with the most lovely tea set, mushrooms out of this world, and service attentive as can be. Ms. Kim was the server for a fully packed restaurant and still was bringing it. I will come back! read more
Very small place when you get inside, so be prepared to maybe not sit or wait for a table. They have a pretty large menu which is good. We got everything to go since there were no seats..we ordered the Dan Dan noodles, amazing spicy fish, 3 pepper shrimp and spicy edamame. We should have checked the order for accuracy because we live an hour away. Got home and we received spicy chicken NOT fish. I'm a pescatarian so this was very disappointing for me! The other dishes were good but the edamame was lacking. Super pissed about the fish. read more

Overall, I'd give Spicy Girl a 3.5/5, but I'll round up for the sake of Yelp. The service? Excellent. Ms. Kim was so kind, funny, and truly made our experience a treat!! The food, though? Decent at best. The prices were fair--definitely on the more affordable side, which was nice. We had the cucumber salad, egg rolls, and General Tso's chicken with white rice. The cucumber salad was easily our favorite. The egg rolls were okay, but nothing standout--same with the chicken. While the service and prices were great, the food just wasn't our favorite. read more

Food 3/5 Ordered the Beijing Duck (2 dishes). The duck meat was dry unfortunately, and double the cost if you were to just get a whole duck from a traditional chinese BBQ place. At least the flavor profile was there. The 2nd dish with the stir fry was nothing special, just some duck meat scraps stir fried with onions, green onions, and bean sprouts with minimal seasoning. Service 5/5!!! Food aside, our server Kim was honestly a diamond in the rough and deserves a raise. Extremely hard worker, she was handling the floor all by herself with a bright smile on her face. Her energy is unmatched and it made our trip to Spicy Girl worth it. They do validate parking here, however, the machines to get out of the garage weren't accepting the validated tickets...sad :( read more

We came here last night for dinner and had a great time. The service was great, everyone was so friendly and the food was delicious. Parking was a bit tricky to figure out where to park but they do have a sign out front that they offer a free pass to the parking garage. We ordered the 3 course duck and there was plenty of food. The first course is the buns with the crispy duck skin, the second course is the duck meat sautéed with some onions and bean sprouts, the third course is soup with the duck bones. Everything was very flavourful and I like that you get a dish with essentially all parts of the duck. I can't wait to come back! read more

We enjoyed this place so much we ate there twice. Not sure why I missed the error in my initial review as a 4/5, because for us to return for second time in 2 days it definitely was a 5/5. Food fresh hot and a lot of options. My partner never really wants to eat the same thing twice in a close visit but he definitely love it too Service was nice, patient and well attentive continued to ensure we were satisfied. Restaurant was clean not too big which I enjoyed not crowded, nice up beat atmosphere read more

Standard sichuan style Chinese food option in my area! I had never been here but pass it almost every day. We came after a long flight and were starving. I feel like we ordered the entire menu. It was quiet here for a Monday night, no tables other than us but lots of to go orders. The waitress was SO SO SO nice and did everything she could to be accommodating to us. We ended up learning she was Vietnamese too so we had a little connection between us. Wish I knew her name but I'd love to go back and see her. Angel lady read more

Service was amazing! Our waitress was so funny and interactive. She got our food out really quickly when we had to get to graduation. The food was so good! Happy hour drink specials were great. Would go back often if we lived closer! 10 out of 10! read more

Ask the Community - Spicy Girl
Do they serve dry pot here? (xiang guo or gan guo)
They have hot pot but not dry pot.
Any gluten free options?
Yes, please let the server know if you are requesting gluten free.
What is and isn't vegetarian? They use eggs in "vegan" dishes, so I'm worried they also use oyster sauce and shrimp paste. I am trying to figure out what I can order.
If you're not sure, stop thinking around it and just eat a salad
Still only "family style" meals, no options for individuals? Note, individual means no one to share…
They have individual meals, just not combo meals.
No parking validation?
I didn't see any pay parking- there are spots right in front and on the side- and street parking around as well.
Are there non spicy dishes that are good for kids?
Yes, we do have non-spicy dishes. Some of the dish can customize your dish with less spicy or non-spicy, please let the server know.
Why no lunch menu? Lots of Chinese places only sell "family style" but in the business lunch world,…
I think they are still in soft opening phase and menu isn't fleshed out yet.
Any vegetarian options?
I know the edamame and cucumber salad are vegetarian appetizers, otherwise they have sauteed mixed vegetables, sauteed cabbage, and other vegetarian options under their Vegetables section on their menu.
