WOW! That was amazing. The food was just outstanding. I mean melt in your mouth, it was so good. I would 100% recommend going to this place if you want some chill, laid back, Chinese restaurant to grab a little bite to eat. I would also like to add that the service was impeccable and they were all extremely respectful and diligent. read more

We've been hearing good things about Spicy House and finally had a chance to try it early on a Sunday evening. We walked in to a mostly empty restaurant and were seated immediately by a friendly employee who also acted as our server. The aesthetic is simple and clean with some Asian vibes but chairs with french words, so a bit of a mix. We ordered a lot of different things to try, sorry I didn't take more photos. The broth for the wonton soup was incredibly garlicky and flavorful. Potstickers were as expected. Scallion pancakes were hot, crispy, and delish. Pork intestines were an adventurous order and they were surprisingly good. Chicken with black pepper and double cooked pork slices were super flavorful. Sweet and sour ribs were tender and more complex than anticipated. Baby bok choy and green beans were really nice quality and huge portions. The chicken fried rice was some of the best I've had. The server was attentive and helpful with questions. We have enough leftover for another meal, and the prices were fair for the quality. We will return! read more

If you're looking for authentic cuisine this is your place. Inside dining area is nice an welcoming. Excellent food, starting with fried fish which came out piping hot and delicious flavor, and the peppers complemented it very well, also if you don't like spicy just eat as is. The fried potatoes look like fries but has a different take but in a good way, and nice seasoning, the bok choy was so fresh crunchy, just great especially for veggie lovers, this along with the green beans rounded out a great evening meal. You may only think of this as more of a take out experience but it's so much more, as they have their own unique style. Service was outstanding with genuine conversation. read more

The food is pretty tasty, however the amount of vegetables that come in the chicken is tragic, its like 3 parts vegetables and 1 part chicken. They do make the food very quick which is always great! read more

Very solid and authentic Cantonese, if I'm not mistaken. Everything is very spicy, so make sure you're down for that. They have decent eggrolls too. Their hours can be a little weird, so make sure you check if they're open or not. read more

Go inside and eat, much better fresh. Authentic delicious food. Be carefulbif you ask for spicy..

Friendly staff, good food, every bit as spicy as the name says. Not for a weak palate. Clean restaurant, and quiet. We were the only ones there when we went on Sunday. Drinks are served by the can. You'll need more than one. read more

I can only speak on the food since my husband picked it up. Everything was so good and I'm looking forward to trying it again. The only thing was I ordered fried rice and got white rice. It was still very delicious!! read more

Located off johnston a little past Rouses this quaint place definitely surprises me. There's like 6 tables and it's always empty when I go which is an advantage but it should definitely have more people just based off taste! It's Authentic Chinese and you can tell! The service was nice and quick. The lady who served us was prompt and explained anything we had questions for, as well as made sure we and the food were great. Ordered: -Dumplings w/ Special sauce (steamed but you can get them fried) which were amazing . The spiced oil it was in added a great layer to the dumpling -Cucumbers w/ special sauce ... also AMAZING . Almost the favorite of the meal -Mapo Tofu w/ Beef (this can be ordered without beef) it was so flavorful and not so soupy you couldn't keep it on the spoon which I loved . Even better with rice and a person who didn't like tofu even enjoyed it. (Disclaimer: Doesn't come with rice automatically even though it's portioned big. I think only the meat dishes come with 1 small bowl and extras are $2 each) -Boiled Beef w/ Chili sauce; this one I was skeptical about at first because of the "boiled" part but I looked at some pictures and decided to try it. Man was I glad I got it! The beef was so buttery in the sauce and it went perfect with the rice as well. There were slices of potato which were shockingly good and cabbage in it which i almost liked more than the beef. It was seasoned well and had visible chilis in it which gave it a nice spice. *we also got complimentary fried chip things at the beginning which were so delicious we had to ask for another one Drinks are by the can like someone else said so you may need more than one but they were only $1.50 a piece which is cheap nowadays for drinks. I only needed 1 considering I was so enamored with the food. Second time coming and it might have to become a regular spot. read more

Great to finally have a Chinese restaurant that serves authentic food. This time I went for some of the more recognized dishes. The Black pepper beef I got medium spice was delicious and fresh they added a good amount of jalapeño to spice it up. The spicy cucumbers were refreshing when she put them down you were inundated with the smell. The dumplings were delicious soft and succulent with a salty and spicy sauce. The shrimp lomein was very good again medium spicy. But the Kung Pao chicken had a perfect spice level and a slight vinegar flavor which is more traditional than the sweet sauce you get everywhere else. Please try and support this business we need more like them. Will be back to try more traditional items read more

Found this hidden gem by random chance and all I can say is WOW! It blew my expectations out the water. I would definitely come back here just to try the spicy fried chicken and mapo tofu again! It was that good! The dumplings was good too, with their mild spicy vinegar sauce. We gotta keep delicious local restaurants open! #LambChopOnTheGeaux #Lafayettela #Chinesefood #spicyhouse read more

I love spice! And boy, does this place have it! One of the best authentic Chinese foods in Lafayette. Their competition would be Dynasty. I think they are both pretty comparable. As far as eating at their location, it is a small restaurant and if you have a big party it may be difficult tò accommodate. Getting food to go isn't a bad option here. I loved their spicy fried chicken and fish. Their dumplings were pretty decent as well. I need to try more of their menu. I can't wait! read more

Great food! Quick service. It's a small quiet place to enjoy a meal. We have also carried out and always enjoy the food.

This is a hidden gem. Being from San Francisco I'm spoiled by good food. Had low expectations when I found it on Yelp on our trip from New Orleans to Houston. This place delivers. Service is great, food is great. Would definitely come again if I'm in that area. Was well worth taking 15 minutes off the route. read more

Absolutely love this food. Everything I have eaten so far has been exceptional.

Just a little hole in the wall with friendly service. read more

Very good food. Polite workers. Willing to help you choose. Beef lomein and spicy chicken. Also tried the cabbage. All good. Only thing is, a tad pricey. $10 for cabbage, ouch. Only reason 4 stars is price. read more

I am absolutely delighted that the Lafayette area has an authentic Sichuan restaurant! That is difficult to find... Often only in larger cities with a larger Chinese population. I've only found authentic Sichuan food in Atlanta, Houston, New York, and a few other big metro areas. So needless to say, this is unique and exciting. If you've never tried "Sichuan" food, it's not your typical strip mall lomein chowfun sesame chicken go to hookup... Sichuan food is spicy pungent sour bright and full of a numbing quality that grabs your tongue and sets your palate into overdrive. It is, in my opinion, one of the most intriguing and yummy types of food. Keep in mind... If you're looking for Panda Express, this ain't it. But if you're food curious enough to wade through piles of fresh chili peppers and boiling sesame oil and piles of garlic and onion, you'll be delighted with what you find. Real deal Chinese food with courage and n power. This food is for the brave at heart... or plate. Go get you some. I can't wait to go back. read more

FINALLY an authentic Chinese restaurant in the Lafayette area!!! The owner is from Sichuan and makes some delicious Szechuan fare. Ask for "ma la" (麻辣) for a mouth-numbing experience. The Dan Dan noodles, twice cooked pork, can't go wrong. I used to live in China and approve this place for a change from the typical sweet & fried General Tsao's you find at typical American Chinese buffets. 地地道道的中餐好赞哦 read more

The food was excellent. We had the dumplings and scallion pancake. Both were good but that dumpling sauce is where it's at. We had the tofu, double cooked pork, spicy fried chicken and steamed cabbage. Definitely will be in our restaurant rotation. read more

We're working our way through the menu and everything has been so good! A few of our favorites so far are the cold sesame noodles, scallion pancake, cucumber salad, scrambled eggs with tomatoes (don't sleep on this, it's delicious!), and the cumin beef. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and we've eaten there and taken food to go, we're striving for regular status! read more

It was just ok. Dumplings were good. Egg rolls average. Fried rice boring. Pork belly entree is just bacon with some vegetables. There was anise I think in it and that's not a good mix. String beans nothing special. Ginger threw me off. Limited menu. No ambience and service slow. Probably won't go back. read more

My daughter and I love Chinese food. We travel to Houston and stay in Chinatown just to get the whole experience of their variety of food. I was so excited to see this place open in my neighborhood. Finally was able to stop in. The place is simply lovely to dine in but I had no time so Ordered take out and was excited to see what we would receive for $21.59. Well, I am very disappointed. Ordered the pancake as an appetizer, it simply was a green onion pancake for $8.00, look at the small portion for this amount and it was soggy. The lunch plate was a smaller portion than I expected. The rice was lacking in flavor and the chicken was mediocre. I should have drove the extra distance and went to Kings in New Iberia. I am very sad indeed. read more

Soups are excellent! Fast service too. I ordered the dumpling soup and the beef soup.

If you drive too fast you might miss it. It's ducked off in a small strip center. But this is some if not the best Chinese/Sichuan food I've had. And I've lived in Houston for years. So I'm shocked Lafayette has this jewel. My mouth waters just thinking of the kung pao chicken and the dumplings. Oh, and that spicy beef noodle soup can cure whatever! So good. They also have a drive through for to go orders. read more

I've been there twice so far and I plan on going back again. The food is delicious and fresh. There are off menus items at the moment so be sure to ask the server. In addition to the pork belly and boiled beef in spicy sauce, I've also had the scallion pancakes and the spicy fried chicken. The flags make my mouth tingle. The restaurant is very new as on 8/15/22 and the place appears to be under staffed. I'm happy to ignore the staffing issues because the food is so dang good. read more

This place is an hour and a half drive from where we live, and my wife and I still make the trip regularly. The food is very different than American style Chinese food, and the depth of flavor from the genuine spices is evident. The boiled fish in spicy sauce is my hands down favorite meal. The staff is very friendly, and attentive without being too pushy. read more

okay, didn't get any rice with my entree kung pao chicken, tasted okay, just overpriced for what you get, won't be back. there's better value asian, just as tasty. service was fine, clean dining area. wish we had picked somewhere else. read more

Best Chinese food in the area, and it's not particularly close. (Not saying much, the rest are terrible) but this stands on its own. Thy use all the notes, sweet, sour, spicy, savory. This doesn't stand up to big city Chinese options, but it's good for south Louisiana. read more

We picked up combination fried rice, an order of green beans and egg rolls. Usually when you get fried rice it is really packed in its container. The fried rice was hardly seasoned and the container was not full of rice. The egg rolls only seemed to have cabbage in them and tasteless. The best things were the green beans. We paid $34 for very little inadequate food. Too many other places we can get Much better Chinese food. read more

Really good authentic Chinese food. It was easy to use their online ordering system and the food was ready fast. My favorites that I tried so far are the dry dry green beans and spicy chicken. Can't wait to go back again to try more menu items. The only thing I wish is that they would add onto a delivery service but the food is definitely worth the trip. read more

Despite some good Yelp reviews, my expectations were low. I've eaten at some great Chinese restaurants in places like NYC, Boston, and San Francisco, thus I've been spoiled. And, Spicy House is in a building which has housed a few restaurants i would not wish on my worst enemy. That's why I was blown away by the good service and great food at lunch today. My kung pao chicken was nothing short of perfect, as was the fried rice which accompanied it. Seriously folks, lunch was terrific. Note that many of the dishes are cooked Szechuan, style, so they'll be fairly spicy unless you ask for an adjustment. I'll be surprised if fans of real Chinese food don't love this place. It would get a 5th star from me if the menu was a bit larger, but that's me being picky. Do yourself a favor by skipping the (sad) buffet places in Lafayette and going to "Spicy House". You'll be happy you did. read more
