The Heat
Is Real

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Oakland's 12th Street, Spices 3 has become the city's definitive destination for authentic Szechuan Chinese cuisine. We don't shy away from bold, unapologetic flavors - we embrace them. Every dish that leaves our kitchen carries the soul of Sichuan province: the tingling numbness of Szechuan peppercorns, the fiery kiss of explosive chili peppers, and layers of complex flavor that keep Oakland coming back for more.

Our menu is a celebration of both tradition and craft. From our legendary Spicy Chicken Wings buried beneath a mountain of dried chilies to the silky comfort of our Shanghai Fat Noodles, every plate tells a story of culinary passion. Whether you crave the numbing heat of our Ma-Po Tofu or the aromatic crunch of our Salt & Pepper Chicken with fresh basil and jalapeño, Spices 3 delivers an experience that goes far beyond ordinary takeout.

We proudly serve Oakland, Downtown, Chinatown, Lake Merritt, Temescal, Rockridge, Fruitvale, Alameda, Berkeley, and Emeryville. Come taste the fire - order delivery or visit us in person for our incredible hot pot experience.

This place is fantastic. I've ordered the fish in red oil and wontons in red oil about a billion times and they're superb. Highly recommend the twice cooked bacon too. So much flavour, great value and always piping hot. I'd eat here every day if I could.

This place simply does not miss. Very hard to find any, let alone good, szechuan food. The Fish in Red Oil is my go to. Tried the Spicy Chow Mein today and it was surprisingly good. Especially with the multiple proteins. Anyways, this place is awesome.

Spices 3 is the best restaurant in Oakland - hands down! Always my favorite. Go eat there in person and get their hot pot. It's amazing! Twice Cooked Bacon, Eggplant, anything with explosive chili peppers, and cucumbers are all favorites. Do yourself a favor and support this place! A gem!!
