Hunan Chilli King

As a native of Hunan and an authentic native of Hengyang. I think their stir-fried dishes are very authentic, and I like the taste here very much. Highly recommended for all Hunan tastes. I like spicy food very much, so every time I come here, I will order super spicy

This restaurant is often referred to as one of the Sichuan spots in the LA area. We ordered two dishes: Spicy Beef and Eggplant with Peppers. The eggplant was below our expectations, and the spicy beef was just okay.

However, the biggest issue was the customer service. We had to wait over 30 minutes for our second dish, and looking around, we noticed many other diners were in the same situation and unhappy. The root of the problem seems to be that the restaurant prioritizes take-out orders over dine-in customers. Based on previous reviews, this appears to be a long-standing issue, and we experienced it firsthand. The restaurant seems indifferent to customers’ long waits or complaints.

There are plenty of other excellent Sichuan restaurants in the area, and we would advise against this one.

Food is honestly good, my party had the pork with taro, fried eggs, and some sort of fish with some sauce. (I’ve forgotten the names, apologies.) Feels authentic, tastes authentic, especially with the amount of oil I saw in some of the broths and such (This is normalized, especially with me who had a bunch of Asian food with a lot of oil in it) You can tell it’s ran by people who actually know their food, with all the other customers as well. My favorite was the pork with taro, reminds me so much of my aunty’s cooking. Will say that when it’s busy, the waiting is annoying and that it’s kind of crowded and a bit stuffy. Service was actually not bad with how they refilled our water, but honestly don’t expect too much service. Atmosphere was hectic and crowded, which I didn’t really like, but also kind of liked because it felt similar to things I was used to growing up as a little kid. Overall recommend. Just don’t go here for something fancy or like a date or something. I also will say the food here is pretty spicy, just a warning.

This one and Henry’s Hunan in SF are both the best Hunan food in the US.

Called for take out, they told me it'll be ready in 30 mins, I showed up after 30 mins and they said it's not ready yet, so I had to wait another 40 mins for my food to be ready! Not mentioning how expensive they are, they used to be so much better back in the old days. 🙁

The food is absolutely authentic. It brings me to home immediately when I taste it. They stay with quality and authentic food as always. They tried their best to serve every guest needs even they are very popular and busy. While you dinning there. Sometimes you see the chefs and staff come out to having their dinner together. It’s just great atmosphere. Always come back

It’s not much service here. But the food is awesome! Specially if you enjoy spicy food. We needed to wait for the table when we arrived around 6pm. To me, good food, affordable price, clean place 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

my family is from Hunan and we love coming here when we miss home cooked food from our hometown. vibe is relaxed and warm, staff is super attentive and hardworking (e.g., always bringing water refills), and food is comforting and flavorful!! food is a little salty and may time a bit long if there are lots of people - but that means everything is made fresh !!
we recommend the tudousi (matchstick potatoes), eggplant with pidan (century egg), and the spicy frog!! everything is great
parking is also easy. highly recommend. thank you!!

Such an absolutely lovely restaurant! Having to make periodic business trips to the Hunan region I was specifically craving food from that particular region - and they did not disappoint! A very very good experience in all aspects! Strongly recommend :)

After waiting in line for a long time, I was so hungry that I suffered from hypoglycemia. Even if we were waiting at the door, people would jump in line. We didn't even say sorry, and we would never come again in the future.

What an authentic restaurant serving deliciously spicy food! My child’s favorites were the rice noodles and fried boiled eggs (金钱蛋). We really enjoyed the stir-fried pork with green peppers. The food is served quickly, and parking is always easy.

Parking: So easy to park.
