Yunkun Garden

Spice fiends may have found their Holy Grail at Yunkun Garden, Monterey Park’s Yunnan-slash-Sichuan eatery creating some of the spiciest Chinese dishes in the SGV. Yunkun’s chili wontons ($5.25) are innocuous enough—stuffed with pork and boiled—but, then, plopped into in a bright red pool of tongue-numbing chili oil topped with red pepper flakes and chopped scallions. You can smell the burn (and anticipate the burn) from a foot away.
