Hunan Cuisine Spot Check in Chicago π²π₯
Went with a Hunan friend to try this spot in Chicago. Honestly, I donβt handle spice well πΆοΈ, but my friend kept insisting itβs super authentic π½οΈ, so I gave in. Overall rating: βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ The flavors are legit, but even asking for mild spice was still pretty hot for me π π₯ Cold Pork Ear Salad 4/5 A great starter β chewy pork ear with crushed peanuts and scallions. Refreshing and tasty, perfect for summer π. π§ Changsha Stinky Tofu 4/5 Authentic black stinky tofu β crispy outside, soaked in spicy chili oil π, topped with cilantro and peanuts. Garlic and chili give it a strong kick πΆοΈπ. π₯ Smoked Bamboo Shoots with Cured Pork 5/5 My favorite dish π. The smoked bamboo shoots and salty cured pork stir-fried together β every bite is packed with flavor. Chewy, savory, and unforgettable π€€. π² Sour String Beans with Chicken Gizzards 4.5/5 Super rice-friendly! Tangy beans with chewy gizzards β I ate three bowls of rice with this πππ. π₯ Nine-Spice Intestine Hot Pot 4/5 Braised intestines soaked in flavorful broth β tender, aromatic, and rich. Spicy with a nice contrast from the veggies π²πΆοΈ. Overall, this place is solid β highly recommended for spice lovers & Hunan cuisine fans πππ. π Hunan Cuisine 2002 S Wentworth Ave Unit 100, Chicago, IL 60616 #FoodReview #HunanFood #SpicyEats #FoodieAdventure #ChicagoEats #ChicagoLife
