Yummy Spicy's Sichuan dishes will have you coming back for more
Why it matters: This no-nonsense restaurant has a large menu filled with Sichuan dishes as well as classic American Chinese options.
Zoom in: I went with two friends after a recent rock climbing session to load up on some protein and veggies.
My friends had been to Yummy Spicy before, and were excited because the restaurant had reopened after closing for a few weeks so the owners could travel overseas.
The vibe: The restaurant, which has been open since 2017, doesn't have the bells and whistles you would see in more trendy spots. It gives off the kind of vibe where you're just there to enjoy good food and get on with your day.
The staff was also attentive and friendly.
What to try: The Yummy Spicy Chicken! The pieces were lightly battered, deep fried to crispy perfection and tossed with chopped red chilis, cumin, onions and other seasonings.
You will want to eat the entire plate in one go.
We also got the Sliced Beef Yummy Spicy Hot Pot (a dry hot pot with vegetables tossed with the signature Sichuan spicy and numbing flavors) and pork dumplings in a chili oil sauce, both of which were very good.
Their mapo tofu is next on my list of things to try.
If you go: Yummy Spicy's address is 5164 Buford Highway, Doraville, Ga. 30340. They are closed Tuesday, but are open 11:30am to 9:30pm Monday and Wednesday through Sunday.

Pakistan will not restrict mountaineering expeditions despite the recent deaths of climbers
PESHAWAR, Pakistan -- Pakistan has issued no warnings or restrictions for mountaineering expeditions in the north, an official said Sunday, despite the recent deaths of climbers. Climbers were well aware of the harsh weather and all the other risks and challenges, said Faizullah Faraq, a spokesman for the government of Gilgit-Baltistan, the northern region home to some of the world's highest mountains. 'Despite that, they willingly accept these challenges and come here to attempt these summits.' Chinese climber Guan Jing, 37, was the latest person to perish on one of Pakistan's mountains. She died last Tuesday after being hit by falling rocks on K2, the world's second-highest peak known for its treacherous slopes and extreme weather conditions. Rescue teams recovered her body on Saturday. Her body was still in the mortuary of the Combined Military Hospital in Skardu on Sunday. Contact has been made with Chinese authorities in Islamabad, and 'now it is up to them to make further decisions in this regard,' said Faraq. Jing's death occurred several weeks after German mountaineer and Olympic gold medalist Laura Dahlmeier died while attempting Laila Peak in the Karakoram mountain range. Bodies of foreign climbers who die attempting to summit mountains in Pakistan are typically recovered at the request of their families. But if the family declines a rescue, the remains are left at the spot where the climber died. Faraq said authorities were trying to provide climbers with better infrastructure, rescue facilities, security and a friendly environment. Mountaineering expeditions are the backbone of the local economy, bringing in millions of dollars in direct revenue. A large number of people work on these expeditions from May to September, feeding their families for the whole year with these earnings, he added. Hundreds of climbers try to scale mountains in northern Pakistan every year. two Russians spent six days stranded on a remote peak before they were rescued.

Last August, two Russians spent six days stranded on a remote peak before they were rescued. Gilgit-Baltistan, in Kashmir, has been battered by higher-than-normal monsoon rains this year, triggering flash floods and landslides.

Mountaineers set off on foot to retrieve the body of a Chinese climber who died on K2
PESHAWAR, Pakistan -- A team of mountaineers set off on foot Thursday to recover the body of a Chinese climber from the world's second-highest peak after bad weather grounded helicopter flights, a Pakistani official said. Guan Jing was struck by falling rocks on Tuesday while descending K2, a day after reaching its summit with a group in Pakistan's Gilgit-Baltistan region. She died on the mountain, known for its treacherous slopes, frequent rockfalls, and extreme weather conditions, according to Faizullah Faraq, a local government spokesperson. He said her body lies between 100 and 150 meters (328 to 492 feet) above the advanced base camp at about 5,400 meters (17,716 feet) and has not yet been retrieved. K2 rises 8,611 meters (28,251 feet) above sea level and is widely regarded as one of the most difficult and dangerous peaks to climb, with a far higher fatality rate than Mount Everest. 'The weather is currently not suitable for a helicopter flight, which is why the body has not yet been brought down' from the mountain, he said. Faraq said Jing was part of an expedition organized by a Nepali company. He said a Nepali Sherpa, Jangbu, was sent on Wednesday to recover her body but was injured on the way and stranded. The Nepali was later rescued by helicopter and transferred to Skardu Hospital, where he is receiving medical treatment. Deadly incidents are common on K2, where steep gradients, thin air and sudden storms can turn even routine descents into life-threatening ordeals. The latest death comes two weeks after German mountaineer and Olympic gold medalist, Laura Dahlmeier, died while attempting another peak in the region. Efforts to retrieve her body were abandoned when Dahlmeier's family informed authorities that she had stated that no one should risk their life to recover her body if she dies in any accident.
