MK Guide Recommends
Up the stairs from Ikebukuro West Exit, Xiangju opens into a mid-sized dining room with stylish wood‑tone tables and high-backed chairs—welcoming for groups and families. The menu emphasizes Hunan’s signature ‘fresh‑hot’ spice: fiery stir‑fry, cured meats, smoked dishes, rolled chili fish, and the favored Mao‑style pork. Driven by tangy vinegar and vivid chilies, flavors land sharp and straight—no Sichuan numbness here, just intense ‘gan‑la’ punch. The setting is relaxed but lively, with English and Chinese menus, credit cards and QR pay accepted, and late-night hours making it a solid stop for hot‑food enthusiasts. Courses and party sets round it out for festive dinners or casual feasts alike.
