Hunan Cuisine Spot Check in Chicago 🍲🔥

Went with a Hunan friend to try this spot in Chicago. Honestly, I don’t handle spice well 🌶️, but my friend kept insisting it’s super authentic 🍽️, so I gave in. Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The flavors are legit, but even asking for mild spice was still pretty hot for me 😂 🥗 Cold Pork Ear Salad 4/5 A great starter — chewy pork ear with crushed peanuts and scallions. Refreshing and tasty, perfect for summer 🌞. 🧄 Changsha Stinky Tofu 4/5 Authentic black stinky tofu — crispy outside, soaked in spicy chili oil 🍛, topped with cilantro and peanuts. Garlic and chili give it a strong kick 🌶️🌟. 🥘 Smoked Bamboo Shoots with Cured Pork 5/5 My favorite dish 👍. The smoked bamboo shoots and salty cured pork stir-fried together — every bite is packed with flavor. Chewy, savory, and unforgettable 🤤. 🍲 Sour String Beans with Chicken Gizzards 4.5/5 Super rice-friendly! Tangy beans with chewy gizzards — I ate three bowls of rice with this 🍚🍚🍚. 🥘 Nine-Spice Intestine Hot Pot 4/5 Braised intestines soaked in flavorful broth — tender, aromatic, and rich. Spicy with a nice contrast from the veggies 🍲🌶️. Overall, this place is solid — highly recommended for spice lovers & Hunan cuisine fans 🌟🌟🌟. 📍 Hunan Cuisine 2002 S Wentworth Ave Unit 100, Chicago, IL 60616 #FoodReview #HunanFood #SpicyEats #FoodieAdventure #ChicagoEats #ChicagoLife
