Clients Reviews

I stopped here for lunch while passing through the area. Pork soup was very good. I ordered to go and appreciated the care put into packaging my food so it did not spill or burn me on the ride home. The lady who took my order was very courteous and took time to make sure she understood what I wanted. I would recommend this place, would come back if it weren't so far away. Hopefully some day!

If you like authentic Human spicy food, this plane is for you. I've been enjoying this restaurant for many years. Last time they said that they have a new owner, but the food is still great.

This is a restaurant that serves authentic Hunan cuisine. Hunan cuisine is also known for being spicy but uses lots of fresh peppers. The owner is from the province. We two people ordered Chinese smoked pork stir fried with dry tofu, and stir fried beef. The dishes go perfect with rice. The average price is ~30 per person. I’d def come again next time I want Hunan food.

You ever seen those videos on youtube where they’re like: “If the place got 3.5 stars, it’s got really good food?” Yah same story here. Outrageously amazing food. The new chef worked 20 years at a five star restaurant in China and you can definitely tell in the way he cooks and presents the food. Everything’s got Wok Hei and it’s spicy without overwhelming the other flavors at work and you can definitely tell they got a good chili plug Must haves: Egg with Chilis Pork intestines Stir fried beef with chilis Eggplant with century egg I ain’t had food like this since I went to Hunan and you know you in the right place cause they had a table of OGs killin a plate of the chopped chilis whole fish and chatting it up. If you want to eat food as close to actual Hunan as you can get, pull up now.

This place is tucked into a small plaza right next to the Courtyard Marriott hotel. We went here twice in three days. We were a little skeptical at first because of the review but the food is superb and is traditional spicy Hunan cuisine. If it matters to you - no MSG used in the dishes, you can tell. We had stir fried cauliflower, diced frog, pickled green beans with minced pork, stewed red chili tofu, all were tremendous. Portions are good and not stingy.

S Y.

I can eat here everyday, seems like food got better in my opinion and also menu has been adjusted. I like every dishes either dried cucumber skin! so crunch and love the spicy flavor.

Cecil K.

If you like whole fish and spicy food this is the spot. If you dont like spicy food maybe see if it will change your mind.
