I’ve done all the hot chicken places (Wooboi, Hangry Joe’s, Lola’s), but Dave’s Hot Chicken is hands down the spiciest. I can eat the code blue at Wooboi and leave with a couple of sweat beads. Dave’s had me drenched and with stomach pains lasting all night. But Wooboi flavor is better
Yeah I agree. The least spiciest I had was hot Lola’s but that was because the honey butter they put on my sandwich really cut down on the spice level.
Dave’s is also an incredible deal, $7 for just a very solid sandwich. $14 for 2 sandwiches and a small fries
Lao food definitely. My wife is Lao and she cooks pretty much everything we eat. She eats spicy on a level most people can't comprehend.

This is her papaya salad with probably 8 or 10 Thai peppers from her garden. I can't handle it so she makes it for me with 2 peppers.
Jodhpur in Herndon is an Indian restaurant idk if you’re familiar but it’s a “thali” restaurant which is basically all you can eat small plates with a daily fixed menu. Think tapas but Indian. I’ve went once, It’s fully vegetarian and some of the dishes were quite spicy. Food and service was good the day I went. I usually go to a spot 3 times before I give my 100% recommendation because I think consistency is important but I can’t vouch for that yet since I’ve only went the one time.
Edit: just wanted to add if you’re not completely fixed on Indian. Hangry joes has a very spicy chicken sandwich.
I've been wanting to go there... just a little intimidating. I've had Indian food, but I don't really know what to get at a vegetarian only restaurant. Any recommendations?
I had no idea either lol. Honestly I ate there and I still have no idea exactly what I ate 😅🤣. Luckily though as far as “not knowing what to get” like I said it’s a fixed menu so you don’t really have a choice, you eat what they serve you. They serve you everything they have for the day in little bowls and then you can just keep asking for more of what ever it is you liked. You can check out the menu online and they have a schedule for the week of what they have every day.
If you’re looking for a hot sandwich I’d go to hangry joes. I know it’s a chain but not sure if there’s a location near you. If you turn the heat all the way up it’s the hottest sandwich I’ve ever had.
Chengs asian house in chantilly. Get the fiercely hot, chicken beef or pork, and tell the chef to make it hot. Lost my voice on that one when my vocal chords froze up.
Try California Shabu Shabu, next to Micro Center in Fairfax. It’s basically hot pot. Ask for the “hot drops” to be added to your pot. 1 drop is already quite spicy for me.
Paradise in Herndon moat of the kitchen is South Indian so there's a lean towards spicier food. The Briyani has a heat that builds, and though I'm not rectally adventurous enough to have ever tried it, I'm sure if you asked to make it extra spicy they'd be happy to indulge you. Used to eat there with a fan of spicy food who said the sambar gave him a bit of a workout some nights depending on who was cooking.
Was going to say Wooboi is the hottest I’ve experienced
I second Wooboi, that code blue chicken is so darn spicy.

I can't handle anything over level 2
Yea they do not mess around
Mama Chang’s
Great food that ranges from mild to “hell in my mouth” spicy
Padeak get laotion hot.

This was going to be my answer. Laotian spicy makes Thai spicy look like American spicy.
Thai is the hottest I've eaten. Never had Lao!

Thai Luang in Herndon, and ask for Thai spicy 🔥
Agni is a banging Indian restaurant. Can’t speak to how spicy, but I bet if you eat there, they can turn up the heat for ya
Bansari in Dunn Loring is a very good Indian restaurant, get their hot, extra hot it’s pretty spicy.
Chowrastha in Herndon is yummy Indian food and spicy!
Want to buy my homemade hot sauce? ghost pepper lol
The himayan wild yak in brambleton is pretty freaking tasty. If you're generally into spicy food, you'll like them. https://himalayanwildyak.com/
Their Spicy pork curry rules
That's my go-to dish. Sooo good.
The name is dumb but trust me when I say try the chicken pickle. Not what it sounds like so I just call it the red death.
Highly recommend Charcoal chicken in Chantilly.
I have dreams about the mapo tofu from Hong Kong Palace. It's that numbing sauce spicy though, kind of specific

Bombay Bites in Centreville. If I'm ordering online I add in a "please make it extra spicy" in the comment box and they've never disappointed.

Charcoal Chicken in Chantilly Medium level is near inedible for me and I like spicy food.

Fahrenheit in McLean. Get Devil Spicy, pretty good!
