Lao Ma Spicy is a popular spot for spicy food lovers, offering a wide range of options, including dry hot pot and a variety of meats and vegetables. The food is highly praised, with the spicy fried chicken and fried rice being a highlight. The dry pot, especially, is noted for its delicious taste and fresh ingredients. However, the ordering process can be confusing, with multiple ways to order, including a barcode app, and unclear instructions. Some customers mention that the meat is scooped, limiting choices on portion sizes. Despite this, the restaurant has a cute and lively atmosphere, enhanced by Chinese music, making it a great spot for dates or solo visits. The healthy food options and large selection of vegetables are also appreciated. With its affordable prices, although on the pricier side for some, and flexible ordering system, Lao Ma Spicy is a great choice for those craving spicy food and hot pot. Many regulars highlight the restaurant's consistency in quality and friendly staff, making it a favorite for authentic Chinese food in NYC.
