Spicy Talk Bistro

Great food and great service. If you're a spice lover I'd recommend getting the max spice level. Anything else is mild

Absolutely love a Spicy Talk!! This is my go to spot for Chinese food. We ordered take out from here for our Christmas Eve dinner and want to make this an annual tradition. They're food is always piping hot and seasoned just right. The flavor of everything is bursting with deliciousness, it's almost like you can taste the wok it's cooked in. I've tried so many dishes and really love them all. It's hard to play favorites because everything from noodles, to chicken, or fish, soup, or rice-- they're all so good and exploding with flavor!

Tried out this spot randomly, the food is good, different.... Service was prompt, attentive and friendly! If you're looking for Asian food in the area, check it out. I wouldn't seek it out but if I had an Asian food craving and was in the area, I would go back.

I have ordered from here several times and the food has always been good. Yesterday, my beef and broccoli dripped heavily over my car seat and all the way from the front door to the kitchen. There was barely any beef and mounds of broccoli. The Box felt heavy when the server gave it to me at that time it had not dripped. This was a horrible experience , not only did I have hardly any beef but then I had to clean my car seat and my floors in my apartment. Picture below

So happy I found this place! It is close to Fred Meyers and next to chop it up. The kirkland Bellevue area has a lot of Chinese restaurants and I've been to many of them but this was the best so far! The food was very fresh and when we asked the waitress if she could make Mongolian lamb instead of beef she was so kind and said she could! The food came in large portions and they had a delicious array of condiments on each table. The ambiance is cute with lot of seating. It is very cute and cozy inside! I highly recommend this place! It is definitely my go to spot on the east side now. Best Chinese food for sure!

Quite disappointed in the flavors here. The hot and sour soup had a goopy texture (over-cornstarched) that lacked umami. It also had some hard bits of bamboo that were unchewable.The garlic string beans were well-fried but flavorless. The pork with garlic sauce (yuxiang rousi) tasted very bland, and was effectively kung pao chicken except the chicken was subbed with pork. This I felt was the most unsuccessful of all -- this dish is supposed have lots of different sliced elements (bamboo/celery/wood ear mushrooms/pork). Instead, only the pork was delivered in slices here, while the bamboo is exactly the wide canned strips, the celery was cubed, and some carrots (still raw) were cubed. There were maybe 4 pieces of small wood ear mushrooms. This dish is supposed to taste a bit sweet and a bit spicy, but it definitely lacked the sweetness. Would never come here again.

Really affordable Chinese food with huge portion. It seems like the locals here really like this spot too - it's recommended to me by my friends and the people on tiktok seem to all second this recommendation too!

My favorite Chinese food. I always get the crispy Mandarin tofu and the hot and sour soup. I love spicy talk, and I've been going for years now. Whenever I'm sick a good hot and sour soup works the trick!

Best Chinese food in Kirkland. The staff are very hospitable. Ordering through the app works well and makes it easy to start with a couple of dishes and keep adding items through the meal.

Ordered 干煸四季豆喝回锅肉， none of them tastes like authentic Chinese food. Americanized, edible.
