Spicy Tongue is a ghost kitchen located at the Adeline Food Hall that offers a diverse menu of spicy Sichuan dishes and other non-spicy options for delivery or pickup. The menu includes a variety of appetizers, special spicy dishes, seafood, chicken, pork, beef, and vegetarian options, as well as rice, noodles, and soups.
Despite its name, Spicy Tongue's offerings are not always extremely spicy. Customers have reported that some dishes, such as the Shredded Chicken with Green Onion Pepper Sauce and the Shanghai Style Braised Pork Belly, have an aromatic and slightly sweet flavor profile rather than a mouth-numbing spice level. The Chicken Chow Mein is a typical non-spicy chow mein dish.
While the pricing may be on the higher side, especially for delivery, the quality of the food is generally praised. Customers have enjoyed the tender and flavorful Braised Pork Belly in particular. With an extensive menu, Spicy Tongue offers a wide range of options, including some good vegetarian choices, making it a suitable option for late-night Sichuan cravings or when other local Sichuan restaurants are closed.
