I had the best dried bean curd in Xiang's private restaurant

🌶️ Spicy Hunan Kitchen: Worth the Drive to Woburn for Authentic Hunan Flavors Woburn’s a bit of a trek, but this Hunan spot? 100% worth it. Fragrant, flavorful, and so good, I’m already planning a return to try more dishes. 🔥 Must-Order Dishes Stir-Fried Smoked Pork with Dried Tofu ($20.95): 🥢 Game. Changer. The dried tofu? Soft and tender inside—so much better than the usual firm texture. The smoked pork is perfectly rendered, fatty but not greasy, with that iconic smoky aroma. Spicy enough to make you reach for rice, but not overpowering—just that “I need another bite” heat. So rice-friendly, you’ll want seconds (or thirds). Golden Coin Eggs ($16.95): 🥚 Egg lovers, rejoice. These are thicker-cut than most versions, and cooked to perfection: soft-boiled yolks, then fried to a crispy outer layer. The oil makes them incredibly fragrant, and while the seasoning’s similar to the smoked pork dish, the egg’s crunch tones down the spice (mild to medium heat). Addictive—you’ll keep popping them like snacks. 🍚 The Extras Lard Rice ($4.5) : 🐖 Tastes like extra-oily braised pork sauce mixed with rice—fragrant and tasty, but very greasy. Hunan dishes are already rich, so plain rice is probably a better call. Speaking of rice: Their white rice is $3 a bowl, which feels steep, but… you’ll need it. ✨ Why It Works Parking: Easy street parking nearby. Vibe: Spacious, so no waits even on weekend lunches—great for big groups (saw tons of family dinners here, which is always a good sign). Menu: Loads of options, including non-spicy dishes—perfect for mixed crowds. Already dreaming of my next visit to tackle their full menu. If you love bold, homey Hunan flavors, don’t let the drive stop you. 📍 Spicy Hunan Kitchen 390 Main St, Woburn, MA 01801 #BostonHunanFood #WorthTheDrive #SpicyEats
