    Opened in 2024, Hengry Lounge LA is quickly turning heads and awakening local taste buds.

From sizzling stir-fries to slow-simmered broths, every plate reflects the founders’ commitment to authenticity and innovation.

    Step inside, and you’ll find a space that feels as thoughtfully curated as the menu itself. With striking artwork, contemporary lighting, and sleek wooden tables, Hengry sets the stage for a dining experience that’s both elevated and inviting. There’s even a private room for intimate events, where guests can enjoy personalized menus crafted around Guizhou’s signature flavors.

    For those planning a celebration or office lunch, Hengry also offers flexible catering options—from pickup and delivery to full-service setups. Menus are customizable, vegetarian-friendly, and spice levels can be adjusted on request.

    Regulars love the monthly raffles, special membership perks, and the attentive service that makes each visit feel like coming home. Parking? A breeze.

    Whether you’re new to Guizhou cuisine or already a fan, Hengry invites you to sit down, savor, and explore. Because here, every meal is a journey—and every guest, part of the story.

    A signature Guizhou dish. Tender poached chicken is served cold and dressed in a sauce made with chili oil, garlic, and Sichuan peppercorns.

    The soft, custard-like tofu soaks up the savory heat of the chili sauce, creating a perfect harmony of spice, umami, and delicate texture.
