Spicy City sits on Convoy Street in Kearny Mesa, San Diego's dense corridor of Asian dining, serving Sichuan-style dishes in a simple, bright room. Mapo Tofu and Boiled Fish anchor the menu's spicy-savory core, alongside classic snacks meant to recall street food from Sichuan and Chongqing.
Regulars gravitate toward the cold plate, which lets diners pick several items from a shared spread, along with La Zhi Ji and sour fish. Hot and sour soup, dumplings, and the Local Style Beef come up often too, with portions generous enough to split.
Michelin has selected Spicy City for its guide in both 2019 and 2021.
