What User likes about Spices 3:
it seems when the place was closed from the outside, but the sign said open and had quite good reviews, so we went in. it is a great place inside and smells delicious. we ordered a chicken hot pot, spicy combinatiom chow my, seafood noodles and spicy roasted tofu. everything was delicious! we all shared our eating that was not the original plan. the hot pot was enough for 4 of us plus took two full containers to go....

Spices 3 used to be my all-time favorite Chinese restaurant, but in the past year or so the quality has changed a lot. I can only guess they got a different chef, or something, because at one point, the quality suddenly nose-dived. I typically get the kiss of fire orange chicken, and it used to be my favorite dish at any Chinese place, and for whatever reason, it's completely different now. I can only describe it as...

As a person born and raised in China, I can tell them that the sharp Chinese cuisine here is really amazing. her la zi ji is my favorite — please try it out!

Spices 3, a once-beloved gem in Oakland, has become a mixed dining experience for many patrons. While it still offers an enticing menu featuring Sichuan delights like chicken wings and hot pots, recent quality fluctuations and service issues have raised concerns. Enthusiastic dishes such as the crispy duck and ma po tofu showcase generous portions and rich flavors. However, some diners report frequent order mix-ups and unsatisfactory customer service. The cozy ambiance and vibrant decor continue to attract customers, particularly for those who enjoy sharing spicy plates. Cash-only transactions add a quirky touch to this evolving culinary destination.

The most crucial thing to note about Spices 3 is that they only accept cash payments. The next important point to mention is that the food is absolutely delicio...
