Spiceup Szechuan Cuisine

The owner was super helpful and nice. Need more restaurants like this. First time here and he was super helpful and gave amazing suggestions! I had the hot and sour soup which was delicious. The General Tao chicken which was packed amazing because I got it to go. They put the sauce on the side in order to keep the chicken crispy. Lastly I got the chicken lo mein which was also very well made.

A little slice of the International District in Belltown! We had a lunch for a party of 5 and sat at one of the lazy Suzan round tables. Food was amazing- the ginger scallion crab was a highlight and so was the Fish boiled in chili sauce. Not too spicy but the perfect balance of flavors. The owner was amazing, came over and told us his story. Just a fantastic experience overall. We will be back.

I’ve been dining here regularly for the last two years. The first time I tried their food, I went back four days in a row. My favorites are mapo tofu, boiled fish in hot chili oil, Szechuan beef noodle soup, and honey walnut prawns. Spice Up NEVER disappoints. David, the owner, is one of the sweetest man I’ve met - he is like an uncle everyone needs. I’ve brought so many of my friends and family here and they all love it as well. I will be a regular customer as long as this place is open.

Stellar food and top notch service. We had an awesome experience dining in for dinner. The food was delicious. The sauces were well done, flavors were perfect. I was impressed because the menu is large. There is something for everyone and they do it all well. We particularly loved the orange chicken, Dan Dan noodles, and lo mein. The service was really something to write home about…I usually don’t bother writing about service because it’s been so different since covid. But the service and friendliness here really blew me away. The bar is great too! Delicious drinks. We will definitely make this a regular spot.

We have been wanting to come here for a long time as I’m obsessed with Szechuan cuisine and we live a few blocks away but just never got around to it. Then we found Seven Pepper in Int’l district and only went there. Then they closed so we finally came here. Definitely wish we would’ve come a long time ago! It is SO GOOD! We got the Mapo Tofu, Szechuan wings, Twice cooked pork, Chinese pancake, and hot & sour soup. I wanted to get like 3 more things but figured that was enough. Ended up eating only 1 wing as was already full from everything else. Everything was just amazing. Great lunch specials and everything is very reasonably priced. They also have a full bar (my husband got a Bloody Mary and it was only $6 and delish!). And the owner, David, is super nice and makes you feel very welcomed. And there’s a 10% off discount for dining in or calling your order in. I really hope this mom & pop shop stays open for forever. Really quality food. 10/10 will be back many times!
