🇬🇧 Ate here twice in three days 😋—Kingston students, you’re living

I visited friends in Kingston and discovered this amazing Hunan restaurant: Little Hunan We couldn’t resist coming back twice in just three days! Students at Kingston University, you’re so lucky to have this spot nearby 😍. Chatted with the owner, and even though the name mentions Sichuan and Hunan their specialty is Hunan cuisine. What stands out? Every dish has that perfect “wok hei” (charred aroma from high-heat stir-frying)—unlike some places that serve lukewarm, bland food. First visit highlights: 🌶️ Stir-Fried Pork Kidney: The kidneys are sliced evenly, tender and crisp, stir-fried with spicy dried chili and green peppers. The aroma hits you instantly! It’s fiery but doesn’t overpower the kidney’s natural flavor—so good with rice. Absolute must-order! 🥓 Dried Radish with Smoked Pork: Hunan’s signature smoked pork has that irresistible smoky scent, paired with crunchy dried radish. The pork is fatty but not greasy, with a hint of wood-fired warmth, while the radish adds a satisfying chew. Addictive with rice! 🥒 Cold Lotus Root Slices: A refreshing appetizer. Thinly sliced lotus root, tossed in sesame oil and chili powder—crunchy, fresh, with a mild numbing spice. So refreshing! 🥬 Dry Pot Cabbage: Classic Hunan-style dry pot. The cabbage is charred on the outside, tender inside, stir-fried with chili for a rich, non-greasy flavor. 🍗 Beer Duck: The aroma alone is incredible! The duck is braised until super tender, soaked in a sauce that balances beer’s malt sweetness with Hunan’s signature spice. Every bite is layered with flavor! Highly recommend for spice lovers! Next time, we’re trying their spicy hot pot and grilled fish—bet they’re amazing too. 📍 51 Surbiton Rd, Kingston upon Thames KT1 2HG #ShoutOutToLocalFood #KingstonUniversity #KingstonUni
