Hunan Bistro Must Be Chicago’s #1 Hunan Spot! 🌶️

Self‑proclaimed #1 Hunan restaurant in Chicago! I have no idea what “authentic” Hunan should taste like, so feel free to disagree. Why I love it: huge variety and generous portions. Today’s Menu 🍽️ 🧆 Changsha Stinky Tofu Too spicy for me (a spice wimp), but deeply savory — each bite bursts with pungent, salty sauce. 🍲 Farm‑Style Chicken Soup Order this every time — you can see the chicken oil floating on top. Rich, aromatic, and huge — the small portion could feed 3‑4 people. 🦆 Crispy Fried Duck New try — skin is incredibly crispy, almost like duck‑flavored pork cracklings. Fatty parts melt in your mouth. 🐸 Jumping Frog with Pickled Chili Very spicy! Lots of tender frog meat. The cucumber underneath was a surprise — soaked in spicy broth, cooling yet fiery. 🥚 Smashed Eggplant & Chili with Century Egg The century egg is the star — chili is mild but blends perfectly. One bite with rice = instant bowl‑empty mode. Key Details 📍 🍴 Restaurant: Hunan Bistro 📍 Address: 2414 S Wentworth Ave, Chicago, IL 60616 💰 Price: $60‑80 per person. I find it less fiery than other Hunan spots, which works well for mild‑spice folks. Almost every dish here is a hit. Yes, it’s pricier, but portions justify it.
