Pure Spice Chinese Restaurant

This is a review just of the dimsum; I don't know what the rest of the menu is like. My family has been in the dimsum business for generations, and there are standard benchmark dishes that I always order first. Hagow was C grade, OK flavors but skin was mushy and fell apart when I tried to pick it up. Siumai varies widely by region, but this was the only siumai I've ever spat out for tasting off in a bad way. The bean curd roll was OK. I give it a B. Chicken feet was fine, B+. But the cigarette smoke drifting inside through the back door really ruined the meal for us, and we won't be returning because of it. Service was fine, pretty good by Chinese norms.

Stopped in for a late lunch. The restaurant was empty with good service and friendly staff. Basic simple decor with a bit of clutter, similar to what I’ve seen in other small Asian restaurants around the country. We ordered dim sum and a couple of other dishes. Everything was delicious! Pork and egg curd buns were so fluffy and soft! If you like to order a lot of things to try, beware their portions were large for everything including the dim sum.

Ordered 3 items total $55 for my dinner. 1 Beef fried rice and 2 tofus and all of them taste SO UGLY. No flavor on beef fried rice and the tofu is so bitter... i mean bitterresstt i would say + no utensil and no napkins. But the front cashier lady is very nice. So... i have to add my salt and pepper pottato chips to add the flavour... that is crazy... I have no intention to harm you guys... I would like to help you guys to make the business... but IF you gave the customer not a great food... how are we going to help you ??. Probably not going to put order in the near future.

Sad customer. ?

Ordered takeout from Pure Spice, and was unfortunately pretty disappointed. The hot and sour soup and potstickers were pretty good, but we were not a huge fan of our entrees. Maybe we just got the wrong thing.

The waitress asked a double tip and so ruled. We will never come back again.

Today 08/27/2024. My husband and I came to enjoy dim sum. This is not the first time we come, and my bill is $23, the shoulder-length-haired lady asked me for the tips with her face wrinkled and scowled. She said, “Your friend didn’t tip yet, you have to tip at least 15% or 5 dollars.” She gets mad at me. Besides that,
She cleaned the table and gave me the bills while we eating as she wanted us to leave immediately. I met the owner before, she was so nice, and I saw this lady argue sometimes with another customer, but this is the first time I had her.
I don't mind if I can put more tips, but we don’t deserve to have this bad experience like that.
We will never come back.

Went here with the love of my life she bought me food. So I think I may have added a few extra stars no comment ?

"Spicy chicken" was a greasy mash of green beans and jalapeños with some fish-flavored chicken bits added seemingly as an afterthought.

My favorite Chinese place! Big portions and good prices. Partner and I shared a combination with another person. We have leftovers for dinner! Their fried rice is the best! Also try the duck

I was skeptical. No MSG probably not as good. This house fried rice is one of the best I've ever had. Just enough oil to have that sweet fatty flavor. It is not too dry not too moist. Might be ranked one. The duck noodle was also very good. The skin remains surprisingly crispy.

Very authentic Cantonese food. My wife and her friends are from China. They spoke fluent Chinese with the staff and ordered delicious authentic food.

You can get the western favorites here. But if you are trying to take your Chinese friends or explore some more authentic Chinese food then there are many great options here.

I recommend the iron fish stomach, the chicken intestine soup, oyster pancake, and garlic stir fry sweet potato leaves.
