If your looking for spicy food in china, the place to go is Sichuan province. Sichuan is famous for its spicy food, the food in the province is chuan cai(川菜) named after the province. I went to a restaurant in Chengdu (成都), and every that I ordered was spicy, even the vegetable dishes. The old town in Chengdu, called Jinli (锦里) is also famous for its snacks (xiao cai or 小菜). This city is well worth checking out if you like your food. The city and surrounding areas also has much more to offer in terms of places to visit as it's the only province in china where pandas are.

Old Beijing Noodle King (北京炸酱面大王)- Most amazing noodles you'll ever have!
My friend from beijing took me to a few places in beijing and the food is amazing, beijing is not just beijing duck. This noodle place "
北京炸酱面大王" or "Old Beijing Noodle King".
The restaurant is set out in old beijing style with low tables and traditional stools. The restaurants atmosphere makes you feel like you truly are in old beijing. At peak times you might have to wait upto an hour for a table.
