Reviews of Little Spicy Chinese Restaurant

E. K.

Great food, fast serving and nice people. I also liked how Chinese food were serving in per person portions. It was a great experience and I'm definitely coming back. We had: crispy skin pork with rice and eggplant with rice

L.

Good taste overall however the cold dishes were quite salty and the fish with pickled cabbage is only mildly sour.

s. n.

Catering was a 10/10 Food was extremely great quality. By far the best Chinese cuisine restaurant I've been to, especially since I live in Auckland. Overall 100 percent worth the price

G. d. L.

The food taste amazing. Big portion sizes. Clean environment. Very friendly staff. If you dine at Little Spicy, you'll be well look after. Highly recommended!

V. K.

S. Y.

A little pricey for its taste and quality as well, but food was nice.

S. C.

J.

This restaurant is the most Sichuan place I've been to outside of China - the Cold Steamed Chicken with Chilli Sauce is the best Ive had. Definitely give this place a try if you're in the mood for good spicy food.

D. B.

Lives up to it's name spicy, if you like your food hot order anything with peppers and you wouldn't be disappointed. Can't say enough about the staff, thank you for a wonderful night out.

J.

You can taste the soul in the food. Great environment and menu options. Don't be afraid to try something new and ask the team there for recommendations. I recommend the eggplant.

K. B.

Bloody delicious!!! Fresh, non greasy, great portion sizes.. an all round great place to go!

T.

Pork ribs , coconut beef damn good . Never see those dishes in other restaurant, next time will try something else. Worth the price , portion really big. Will Be back .

D. L.

Food tasted good and came really quickly as well. But their food were not spicy as they show on the menu and milk tea is not good for tasting.

That’s really nice food! And I appreciate Jane’s recommendation, I will come here again and again!

B. M.

I had their shredded pork in hot and sweet sauce on rice and I can say it is one of the best I've had in Nz!!

K. S.

My favourite place to get Chinese food. Always tasty and consistent in the dishes. Usually stick to my favorites but have seen other dishes which look pretty appetizing

S. R.

Possibly my favourite Chinese restaurant in the Chch, for the Ma Po Tofu and Bok Choy with peanuts

P. T.

Really quite beautiful and top notch Szechuan food. Great for fabs of spicy food, I recommend the mapo tofu!

V.

Beautiful restaurants, very modern. I had the sea food tofu and it's just so smooth and jucy. Insane!

V. S.

My second time here. Tasty and juicy roast duck. Rest of the dishes were good too! Excellent service from staff, sorry didn't ask for your name, but you know who you are :)

E. d. M.

Very affordable 👌 for very yummy foods. My wife ordered 2 entree for only $8 each but seems like 2 mains already . Two main dish are too much for us quite big bowl for 1 dish already good for 2 or 3 persons. Staff are all good in srevice.

C.

Best sichuan food restaurant in Christchurch. Good service and environment. Impressed and will go again.

M.

Excellent food! More szechuan spice than chili pepper spice, which was an interesting experience.

S. T.

Excellent service, excellent food. Reasonable price, good portion. Will be back.

D. J.

Always good. My family and I love their eggplant chicken. My two year old son demolishes their panfried dumplings in no time flat.

A. C.

A glimpse of sichuan taste. Huge meal for little asian girl lol 😂 😂

E.

We so surprised about their set menu , really really big portion. Price is reasonable but experience is amazing.

B.

Been there multiple times, eaten many different dishes, simply delicious! Very professional and clean. Many parking spaces. Highly recommended! =)

H.

We Celebrate the birthday there, new place but excellent food, very nice staff.

A. P.

Fantastic. Staff is professional, friendly and attentive. Tea comes with a tealight so it stays hot. Atmosphere great, seating very comfortable and not squashed together like in some places. Food excellent. Good variety in dishes. Definitely will go back.

S.

The best beef with chill oil I have tried in Chch. The environment is cozy and easy for parking.

N. W.

Fantastic food and great service thank you.

s.

Located on Riccarton road, no sign but there's a few rear carparks at the back, easily miss out on entrance though. Food is nice, reasonably priced, good portion, authentic taste, slightly sweet in general. Staff are friendly and attentive, wheelchair and chair accessible. Spacious inside but only had one round table and sit about 6 max. Also sells bubble teas and handshaken drinks.

c. C.

Really enjoyed the meal. Authentic, delicious and a great range. Would recommend!

U. J.

I have tried this place twice now, the first time I had there Chonqing style noodles and the second time was the hot and sour noodles. The flavour and portion size were great. The only thing us both the noodles were very oily so just be mindful when you order them otherwise they were great and the staff were friendly too.

C. R. T.

The place has generous portions at a reasonable price. Best to come if you haveal a group as its more fun to eat Chinese style, ordering food and sharing. Be sure to try to mustard fried shrimp, really tasty!

30th May 2020 - This is a relatively new Chinese restaurant that is located on Riccarton Road. They opened this restaurant at the beginning of March 2020. Anyway, the interior layout is well set up with plenty of dining tables and chairs, as to cater for individuals and groups. It is also well lit and feels cosy. The menu is very straightforward with Chinese and English texts plus photos (or you can always ask for help from one of the staff if you can't decide what to eat like me 😖). The menu is well presented based with plenty of choices and well balanced. They also sell alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. I’ve ordered Singapore 🇸🇬 fried noodles 🍜 and fish fillets in hot oil (水煮鱼). I had a quick taste of the Singapore 🇸🇬 fried noodles 🍜 and I must say, it was quite good (flavoursome). As for my main meal, well you guess it, I had the “fish fillets in hot oil (水煮鱼)”. This dish is not for everyone; oily and spicy (well, I don't find it spicy even though I asked for extra spicy/ 加辣). This dish could easily become one of my favourite dishes but I will try other dishes before making my decision. I had a quick chat with the staff and he said they can increase the level of spiciness to suit the customers. The current spiciness is tailored/ toned down to suit the locals (individual palates). Overall, I enjoyed the food and their service from this Chinese restaurant. Good portion sizes. This is a child-friendly restaurant. This is a licensed (🍻🍸🍷🍾🍹🍺) eatery. There is no outdoor dining area. There is plenty of onsite parking 🅿 at the back. Street parking is available too. They accept cash and EFTPOS including credit card payments (Paywave is not available, for those who want to know). There is a small surcharge on credit card payment. Would I go back? Yes 😀. Well worth a try and you will not be disappointed. Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. It was 😋. Ambience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Relax and cosy. The place is clean too! Price: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Reasonable pricing compared to other Chinese restaurants in Christchurch. Customer service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Disclaimers: Please note that this review is entirely based on my experience at the time of the visit (30th May 2020). You might have a different experience than me and also, the food may or may not suit your taste.

I.

Good quality and selection. I would frequent this place for lunch when I worked in the area.

K.

Not quite like spicy food just like the food at little spicy

k.

Ordered the cold chilli chicken and the fish with preserved vegetable soup. The flavour of the chilli was ok but the chicken felt old. The fish soup was disappointing it lacked depth and umami. The food was 2 out of 5 extra but star for generous quantity.

(Translated) One of the best Chinese restaurants in Christchurch. The environment is elegant, the decoration is novel, and the store is clean. And parking is convenient, there are many parking spaces behind the store. The dishes are generous in portion and taste good. The service staff is amiable and feels like returning home. The recommended dishes are super delicious, Sichuan flavor fragrant chicken, bean curd beef is very authentic, salted fish chicken and eggplant clay pot is really good 👍 (Original) 基督城最好的中餐馆之一。环境优雅，装修新颖，店面干净。而且停车方便，店后有很多停车位。菜品分量足，味道佳。服务人员和蔼可亲，如同回到自己家一般的感觉。推荐的菜都超好吃，川味飘香鸡，豆花牛肉很正宗，咸鱼鸡粒茄子煲真不错👍

(Translated) The taste is very good, spicy and not spicy. It is suitable for southerners like me. The business in the shop is not bad, and the serving speed is very fast. I like their sour plum duck very much. I will often use it in the future. Come to eat~ (Original) 味道很不错，辣的不辣的都有，适合我这种南方人的饮食，店里生意还算不错，上菜速度也挺快的，很喜欢他们家的酸梅鸭，以后有空会经常来吃的～

(Translated) The first time I ate Sichuan-flavored Piaoxiang Chicken, I was deeply attracted. This dish has become a must-order dish for our family. We like to eat white meat. The roast duck and Huang Feihong chicken crispy bones are also our favorites. Especially the crispy bones of chicken, and beer is a perfect match. (Original) 第一次吃川味飘香鸡的时候被深深的吸引，这个菜成为我们家人每次必点菜品。我们喜欢吃白肉类的东西，这家店的烧鸭和黄飞鸿鸡脆骨也是我们的最爱。尤其是鸡脆骨，和啤酒是绝配。
