The much beloved Redmond-based Spicy Talk, complete with all manner of hanging tchotchkes, closed in late 2016 and later resurfaced in Kirkland. The new iteration is still serving up the same extraordinary hand-shaved chow mein noodles, green onion pancakes, and fire-breathing Chong Qing hot chicken. Spice aficionados will marvel that food this mouth-numbing can still carry real flavor complexity.
