“ Food is authentic with the perfect balance of flavors and spiciness. The waiters and waitresses are attentive and efficient even the restaurant is super busy. Ambiance is average and a bit crowded. ”

“ The most authentic Hunanese Restaurant my family has had in America. It's still slightly Americanized of course with some added sugar (for Hunanese people's standards), but it is still so much more like real Hunan food than any other place. The spice is delicious and prepare to eat some spicy food! ”

“ The food was more cantonese style than Hunan. If you're expecting the heat of Hunan style dishes you might be disappointed. Otherwise the service was great and the non-spicy entrées were not disappointing. The atmosphere is casual, busy and slightly noisy. ”

“ 人气火爆的一家川菜馆，周五晚上7点半到时都还有3桌，等了20分钟，顺便把菜点了，黄牛肉很赞，两种辣椒的组合增添了不少风味，整体感受很好，牛肉很新鲜，很入味，非常下饭 口味鱼片也是我的菜，辣得不躁，用的是龙利鱼，虽然没有国内的淡水鱼那么那么香，但整体感受还是不错的，盘底曝的白菜非常好吃，两个菜足够两个人吃，花销68美金 ”

“ The frog legs were still great, as was the water spinach and smoked pork belly. Skip the steamed egg. Service is pretty fast. The atmosphere is lively. The new spot is way smaller than their previous restaurant so there may be a wait. ”

“ A really fun spot for spice lovers. The portions are large so come with a group of at least 4 people. All of the dishes here are well-seasoned and heavily spiced, in Chinese we say they are dishes that make you eat lots of rice. The restaurant has a casual setting with new construction so everything looks very airy, clean, and comfortable. The staff is friendly and will make recommendations if you do not know what to order. We got the chili fish head which was a 8/10, the chili pork liver 7/10, a century egg with eggplant and roast chilis 9/10, and a preserved pork with chilis and pickled radish 10/10. I really enjoyed all of the dishes. Hunan cuisine uses a variety of chopped pickled peppers that just have such a savory delicious flavor. Unlike Sichuan food there is no numbing spice. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes. ”

“ Great spot. It's where you go if you want a spicy delicious meal. They were so busy when I came. Had to wait a bit despite coming late afternoon. Food was very bold tasting and spicy. If you want flavor in your food, this is the spot to go. Hunan style. Come here for a great time and great food. Food is so spicy, I can eat the leftovers for days and days. Great deal. ”

“ Our company recently had a team lunch at Hunan Chilliking, located in San Gabriel city, in the same plaza as Yifang Fruit Tea, this restaurant promises an authentic taste of Hunan cuisine. Firstly, I must address the parking situation, which proved to be a bit of a challenge. The parking lot is small, and at times, finding a spot can be quite a task. So, carpooling or arriving early might be a good idea, especially for larger groups. For those in our team who aren't accustomed to spicy food, it was crucial to have the dishes adjusted to their liking. Without moderating the spiciness, some found the heat a bit overwhelming. However, the staff was accommodating and happy to modify the spice levels, ensuring everyone could enjoy their meal. Now, onto the highlight of the lunch - the steamed egg (non-spicy)! This dish was an absolute winner, and we couldn't get enough of its velvety smoothness and mouthwatering taste. One thing that stood out throughout the meal was the masterful execution of every dish. Each plate was skillfully stir-fried, resulting in an irresistible aroma that instantly stimulated our appetites. The flavors were top-notch, making it hard to resist going back for seconds (and even thirds!). ”
