Spicy Talk is among the few Chinese restaurants that I like in the Seattle area.  
We usually have take outs and finally this last time we went and ate there.  Located in a small strip mall along Cleveland Ave, the restaurant is of decent size with very dark coloured decor -- but we did not go there for decor, and food was good every time whether they were to go or eat in.
My favorite is the Chong Qing hot chicken.  It is basically a Chinese popcorn chicken, well fried dry, tossed with hot red peppers, they are every bit addictive.
Hand shaven noodles are also excellent there.  Chewy with a bounce, deliciously stir fried with soy sauce and different meats and vegetables.  They can also make them in soup noodle format. 
Dry cooked string beans are garlicky, spicy and tasty; sizzling beef Szechuan style with lots of onions and tender beef.
I had the spicy wonton and their dumplings as well, they were so so, not wow, not bad.
All the dishes are strong flavoured, so white rice is a must.

Great food, so-so service. I've been going to Spicy Talk for three years now, and the food is consistently delicious. I would note however that you should only go when it's not busy. Never go when there's a crowd!

Here's a recap of the last time I made the mistake of going there with two friends while it was busy. The man takes our order, and my friends and I proceed to just hang out as per normal. Well, that's when we notice it's been a while, and other people that were seated after us have already gotten their food. The man doesn't check on us until much later (we were about to leave before he did), and he asks us what we ordered. Seriously? He flips through his massive backlog of orders on his tiny memo pad and can't find our order, so he puts in a new order for us. For our troubles, we received a "Sorry! Sorry!" and nothing else (not even a discount on our drinks or appetizer). So don't expect any sympathy from them or me if you go there when it's busy.

That said, you've got to try the Mandarin Crispy Chicken (it's not spicy even though it's marked as such). I really like the quality of the food. I have not had anything I didn't like yet. On the plus side, when it's not busy, you get your order cooked within 5 minutes or so. It's ridiculously fast. (And for people that have been there before, they've painted over the hand and foot print stamps on the walls...)

One last tip: don't hesitate while ordering, or the guy will think you're done ordering and be out of there in the blink of an eye. He's always in a rush, even during non-busy hours.

The food is worth it though...

Wonderful!. Looking at the unassuming, rather shabby exterior of this restaurant located in the same parking lot as busy Frankie's Pizza, you'd think this was just another run of the mill Chinese food take-out restaurant. After a year or so, we finally tried it after reading a couple reviews online. So glad we finally ate here!! Very good food and a fun, energetic atmosphere.

While the food tends toward the oily side, the flavors are intense and well balanced. The spice is wonderful but not overpowering. If you like more spice the chili oil on the table provides it! The green beans with fried tofu are nicely charred and still crisp. The chow mien with hand shaved noodles is yummy. Great, authentic chow mien flavor but more intense and delicious, properly chewy noodles. Hot and sour soup is reminiscent of one of our favorite restaurants in Tacoma that closed long ago. The sizzling rice soup has a wonderfully tasty broth. However, the fish in spicy gravy was the best dish we had. Very spicy with fresh cilantro and lemongrass. The fish was cooked perfectly and very tender. Similar texture to Nobu's black cod marinated in sake/miso/soy. The gravy is more like a spicy oil, but very good - perhaps just won't eat this more than once a month. Must put over rice to soak up the spicy, oily goodness!

We will definitely be back!
