LA Hacienda Heights｜New Hunan Spot Worth the Drive! 🌶️🔥

Drove over an hour to try this popular new Hunan restaurant—and it did not disappoint! The space feels like a rustic countryside market, with hanging chilies, cured meats, wooden decor, and red plastic stool lamps. So authentic and lively! 🏮 🥘 Stir-Fried Pork with Chilies – Wok-fresh (no pre-made sauces here!), tender pork with fragrant peppers. Served sizzling in the pan—even lets you stir it yourself for fun! 🥬 Western Hunan Pickles – Crunchy, tangy, and refreshing. So good I’d take some home to cook with! 🧆 Changsha Stinky Tofu – Topped with garlic, chili, and scallions, soaked in savory sauce. Rich and satisfying! 🐖 Hengdong Crispy Tripe – Spicy, chewy, and packed with flavor—perfect with rice! 🐸 Bandit-Style Frog with Chopped Chilies – Chopped into small pieces (my favorite way to eat frog!), incredibly aromatic and fiery hot. My lips were numb but I couldn’t stop! 🔥 A vibrant, authentic taste of Hunan with bold flavors and generous portions. Be ready for the heat—it’s worth it! 💥 Ben Chili 1635 S Azusa Ave, Hacienda Heights, CA 91745 #LAHunanFood #HaciendaHeights #SpicyEats #ChineseFood #HunanCuisine #LAFoodie #ChiliLovers #AuthenticFlavor
