Spice 28 specializes in Szechuan and Asian fusion cuisines with a full bar that offers signature cocktails and a wide selection of wines and beers. Our Cuisines feature traditional authentic Szechuan cuisines, and fusion of Japanese, Malaysian, Thai and Chinese cuisines. Not only our food are rich in flavors, and spices, they are also authentic and creative. You will find some of the most authentic dishes in modern plating, but you will also find the unique cuisine that you will not find elsewhere. Also, the important is that the restaurant was designed by an architect and newly built. The atmosphere is very hip, modern and vibrant. The service is excellent, prompt and friendly.

"The service and cuisine belies any negatives in the prior reviews in our view. The food was outstanding, fresh, flavorful and imaginative. The drinks were great and the setting is really lovely. Service was flawless. This is worth the visit and the parking challenge in the highly visited 13th & Chesnut corridor. Go for it - you wont' be sorry if you like really fine Asian/Thai food. Really terrific."

"Everything I ordered with my friends at Spice 28 was delicious. We ordered chili oil wontons, drunken noodles, panang curry style with chicken, and hot sauce style (their favorite Sichuan style) with beef. My favorite was the latter which was infused with coriander and included scallions and what appeared to be leeks. I would recommend this venue highly for any small group or a date night. There was also an extensive cocktail and beer menu with imported Asian beers. I usually frown upon establishments who claim to be "fusion," but Spice 28 does it with finesse."

The servers were wonderful and they knew we had a deadline as well and made sure we were out in time. The food was delicious and there were entrees for every taste. A definite recommendation!"

"We were pleasantly surprised by the food choices and the feel of this restaurant. It is Asian fusion and when we got there I was surprised to see many tables with Asian speaking clientele. This was a good sign! The food was fantastic. We had the mini wontons, vegetable spring rolls, chicken lettuce wraps and roasted tomato and cheese salad. For an entree we had chicken pad Thai. It was amazing. Highly recommend this trendy but solid restaurant."

"I'm hoping that once this place gets it's feet firmly planted (only been open for 6 months) things will get better but I'm not planning to go back.
First of all, we were seated for over 20 minutes without even being offered water. When our server finally did come over they didn't even acknowledge the wait. When we asked for suggestions since the menu is HUGE she wasn't able to give us any.
I ended up getting the panang curry which was actually delicious but it was the only thing that we got which we liked. The "crispy" duck was soggy and everything else was lack luster."

"I went for restaurant week with 3 friends from work. They accommodated our group very well and were very prompt with service. The food that was offered felt like much though was put into it. Also they didn't skimp on the portions just because it was restaurant week like many other restaurants do. We had a great time the only thing I wish they had done differently is have more Asian inspired desserts. The desserts where good dont get me wrong but they where Italian. It just felt off."

I just warn you to be mindful of the spicy level noted on the menu. I happen to love spicy and they def lived up to it! My brother in law was literally sweating but wouldn't stop eating because the food is so fresh and good. I'll be going back next week. This will be my new hot spot."

"While the place was very modern and clean, the wait-staff was quite disheveled and ignorant. I had a reservation, which I could see on the screen, and they argued that it wasn't there. Once I was finally seated, and looked at the menu, I had a question about how something was prepared, to which the waiter answered "Um, I don't know" and didn't offer to check. When it finally came to dessert, not only were they out of 1 of the 3 possible desserts for restaurant but they got my order wrong. Everything was delicious but the service was atrocious."

"The service was a rush. Nothing really special in term on food selection. Menu is consisted of majority chinese and some Thai foods. Not the best quality foods/seasoning either. I came for restaurant week but don't think I will be back."

"My friends enjoyed the food immensely, but I wasn't impressed. It felt like a pumped up PF Chang's and I would only say it was moderately better. Good for people who don't know what real Szechuan style cooking is."

"The food was excellent and plentiful! A group of my girls and I went for restaurant week and enjoyed a four course meal. Everything was very flavorful and they had this amazing drink called "Passionate Kiss". I will definitely be returning. My only disappointment was with my order of the "blue crab fajita". It had no crab in it lol."

"The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice and the presentation of the food. We went at a very good time (2PM during Restuarant Week) so it wasn't packed nor did we have to wait long for our food. The location isn't ideal on the outside (13th and Chestnut leaves a lot to be desired), but once inside you feel like you're in a spot on 16th & Walnut. Good options for an Asian Fusion spot. They do not have beer, so you are limited to mixed drinks (which are somewhat pricey). Overall I would make this place a suggestion for lunch on a Saturday afternoon or maybe even an early dinner."

"We dined last night and ate off of the Restaurant Week menu. My husband made "safe" choices and was very satisfied, although the dipping sauces for the blue crab fajitas were spicier than anticipated. I wanted to try new and unique items and was disappointed. I wanted a non-alcholic cocktail and was told that the alcoholic cocktails could not be modified to a non-alcholic choice, so I drank water. I ordered the green curry shrimp, and while it was tasty, it was very spicy; much more spicy than I was expecting given the "1" next to it on the menu. I mentioned it to the waitress was her response was "ok, sorry." The spice level of the items should have been explained in advance. My lips were on fire and I was wishing that I had chapstick."

"Spice 28 is a gorgeous restaurant with wonderful food! Our waitress, Lily, was delightful and the Panang Curry out of this world. Loved the dessert, too, the chocolate pyramid divine. Look forward to returning - soon!"

"Went for restaurant week and the food was definitely great! They had an array of options and portion size was perfect if not more than enough. They got our appetizer salad wrong, and it just took a long time for us to get our food b/c they had to fix it, and after that everything seemed to come out slower. Also I would say the spice level of mild hot and spicy was a little inaccurate, some food was a lot spicer than had been rated. Otherwise, it was a good experience for a date."

"We visited spice 28 for lunch, when we were seated we were informed that only the dinner option for restaurant week was being offered. If we had wanted to eat a larger sized meal we could have gone many different places. The bait and switch that occurred here left a bad taste in our mouths."
