I learned my lesson last time and made sure to show up right at 5:00 PM for opening. It’s the best way to beat the dinner rush and avoid the long wait times that usually kick in later. Having the place a bit quieter at the start of the evening makes for a much more relaxed meal.
The consistency is what really stands out. Everything we ordered was just as good as the first time. Perfectly seasoned and served piping hot. The quality of the ingredients is obvious in every bite. Strongly recommend if you like spicy food.

I was exited to see this resto because it pened in the old spicy Chinese food place, but the spice level is much higher than the old restaurant and the menu states they will not lower the spice level. That’s just too bad. 🙁 Its spicy level is way too high for me. I ordered two dishes to-go and ended up dumping them because it’s too spicy for me. I suppose that’s my problem haha

Ben Chili looks and feels like an authentic Hunan restaurant. There is English on the menu, but nowhere else. If you don’t speak Mandarin, you will have to use your phone’s translator. Almost every dish I’ve ever had here is spectacular. The spicy dishes are pretty spicy,, and they don’t do spice levels. In fact, they have a sign that says “mild? We don’t know what that means.” I especially recommend the eggplant and thousand-year-old dish and their signature spicy beef. They don’t take reservations or do an online wait list, and the waitlist grows quickly after their opening times.

The taste was okay and it did make us eat more rice.
However, the hygiene was not ideal. Out of six people in our group, four had diarrhea afterward. I had the worst reaction — since yesterday I’ve had continuous diarrhea, and if it doesn’t stop I may need to go to the hospital.
The service also needs improvement. There were only four or five tables occupied when we arrived, but we were not given any utensils until I asked the server, “Are we supposed to eat with our hands?” Only then did they bring them. Because of this, I only left a 10% tip.
The price was quite high, yet the portions were small.
I hope the restaurant can seriously improve. This is my honest experience, and I hope my feedback is helpful.

几个月前在抖音跟小红书看到，就想来，但是一看很多差评，有点儿不敢来，今天路过，看到门口有人排队，果断决定试一下，感觉很好吃，下次可以推荐朋友一起来。
店面很小很可爱，可以看出店家花费了很多心思，周中午餐时间一直有排队，我们大概前面三四桌，等了十几分钟就入座了，扫码点单上菜很快。
我自己很能吃辣，也是川山甲跟洞庭鲜的常客，我觉得店里的菜辣度都很合适，但是整体口味确实有点偏咸，我看很多评论写差评也是这么批评，我觉得老板可以注意一下。 但是店里所有的菜，全部都是猛火爆炒，锅气十足，微咸但是确实下饭，老似的碗装着香喷喷的大米饭狠狠炫辣味十足的菜，确实很过瘾。
我点了茄子锤辣椒，醋稍微有点放多了，有点儿酸；辣椒炒肉，肉是腌过的，很嫩，而且里面放了白木耳，配在一起口感很好，很有新意；酸豆角炒鸡杂，里面酸豆角酸萝卜跟鸡杂都很脆，一点儿不腥；火爆双脆，满分菜；酸菜炒山药粉皮，我以为是宽粉，但是非常爽口，第一次吃这道菜，我个人很喜欢。 唯一我觉得不太习惯就是土匪猪肝，我喜欢川菜肝腰合炒那种“火中取宝”的大火快炒的滑嫩口感，但是这道菜吃着猪肝有点儿涩有点儿老，甚点。
服务 5/5
环境 5/5（很小很可爱，大party不要来）
上菜速度 5/5
菜品口味 5/5
价位 5/5
我觉得这家评分绝对不是 4.0，没来过的但是喜欢吃辣的推荐大胆尝试吧。

I live quite far away; it’s a 20-mile drive to Hacienda Heights for this restaurant. Over the past year, I’ve eaten here with friends about 10 times, and we’ve tried almost everything. The stir-fried beef with chili peppers, rice tofu, dried tofu, and stir-fried spinach with pork cracklings are all good—must-orders every time, very filling and perfect with rice. The fish and frog dishes are just so-so, not quite meeting my expectations. I rarely eat pork liver in the US, but today I tried the stir-fried pork liver with chili peppers. I’d give it a 7 out of 10; the flavor was good, very fragrant and wok-fried, but a little tough.
Overall, this restaurant is amazing. In Los Angeles, where Hunan cuisine is so competitive, it’s incredible that I still want to come back. It’s the pinnacle of Hunan cuisine!!
The biggest downside is the incredibly long wait times—it’s always so popular! I arrived at 5:20 pm today and waited in line for 45 minutes before being seated They don’t call to get a number; you have to wait outside. If you want to eat here, plan your time accordingly.
