Run, Don’t Walk To Hunan Chef!
“Oh my, God.” “Mmmm.” “That’s good.” “Wow.” These are the literal words that had a chance to escape our lips as we ate an absolutely delicious meal. 😋
Tip: 1) Everything is family style; 2) There are A LOT of options, so don’t get hung up on your selection because you will be back 😄.
Atmosphere- When you walk in you smell something delicious in the air. You see a beautifully designed dining room with furniture that looks like real wooden artwork. You hear the sound of great music. 😌
Service- Excellent and above board. From the moment we walked in we were welcomed with a smile. Everyone was really kind from the woman (who we think may have been the chef or an owner) that walked us through the very extensive menu. She made recommendations, explained what was what and was patient. We ordered tea and soup in addition to the main meals and they served us when they arrived. They check in on us at the right times. 👏🏾🥰
Food- Excellent is an understatement. This food was good it touch my soul. This food reminds me of my grandmother’s cooking because clearly there is a sprinkle of love that gets added. I know that really cheesy, but I don’t care. This is the best food I’ve had in a very long time and we eat out often (maybe too often). Anyhoo, we had: 1) Braise fish cake w/ three delicacies; 2) Spicy, shrimp Hunan with style; 3)Eggplant w/ green bean; 4) Scallion pancake; 5) Jasmine green tea.🤩

Late afternoon carryout to take back to hotel for dinner. It was excellent. This is not the local takeaway. This was a gourmet food prepared by a chef. It was authentic Hunan ( Xiang) cuisine flavor and presentation style but prepared for the American consumer. Traditionally spicy, I asked for it to be mild, unsure as to what to expect. The flavor profile was complex. As much work went into preparation as the cooking, if not more. They were NOT cheap, but the value-price ratio was definitely more than fair for the overwhelming quality. Two main dishes and spring rolls were $45 USD. That was enough to feed a family of 3 or perhaps 4. I will have leftovers for at least 2 meals.

Food is absolutely top notch. This is authentic Hunan Chinese food and taste. Portions were XL size. Prices are a few dollars more than average Chinese mom and pop but definitely worth it for the quality, portion size and ambience. We came during mid afternoon and didn’t have any issues with service. Will be back and recommend to others. Photos were what was left over cause we couldn’t finish. The food is spicy even by asian standard. You should ask them to make it non spicy or less spicy if that is not your thing. They can benefit from having lunch specials like other restaurants

Nicely appointed place. Portions are large but prices are also higher than most. Food was prepared quickly and brought to table steaming hot and fresh, minutes are ordering. The léi làjiāo (Flavored Egg w/Eggplant & Pepper) not to be missed. The Hunan favourite ( House Special Cauliflower) is good but i have had better locally elsewhere.

I really enjoyed this place!
Food:
Almost all the food is going to have hot chilli oil and peppers in some way or another. Not sure what others were expecting but it wasnt too oily or spicy. There's definitely other places around town that are way more oily.
The twice cooked pork tasted great, similar to other places, this is usually my favorite dish. What sets this one apart is the included mushrooms that helped cut the oil and fats. However, I would want fewer mushrooms because I'd rather have more pork.
The steamed pork belly bao dish were pretty salty but otherwise tasty, the bao buns helped cut the saltiness but there wasn't enough buns really.
Boiled fish soup was good.
We have several other things like a squid dish, shrimp dish, etc but overall, enjoyed each dish. I mean, not everything was my fav but I never expect to love everything at a place.
Service:
Typical service at Chinese restaurants? Not sure what others are expecting but if you've been at similar restaurants, it seemed fine?
We had a group of 12ish and it worked out fine and had typical service.
Price:
Yeah a bit more pricey than some other similar restaurants further away but really everything in this emerging Asian food plaza area is more than usual just for the nature of the area.
(Picture did not show everything we ordered)
Edit for 2nd Visit: Came back for take out so will add new food items reviews plus more pictures.
Spicy diced boneless chicken has become a favorite dish. It's crispy, not too bready, the chicken is very juicy, it has good spiciness. Will definitely be back for this.
House special braised beef is alright. Not bad but I wasn't a fan. It came on a bed of noodles that were too soft for me. Maybe because it was a takeout item and the noodles were steaming in the bowl but I did not like the texture. Honestly would have preferred rice. The taste of the beef was good, I had thought it was just a meat dish and wish it was.
Dry pot konjak with duck was flavorful but spicier than I was expecting! Spicier than the other dishes and I actually had to put out the fire in my mouth with boba milk tea from another store. The dish was full of spicy peppers of some sort, ginger, and other things. I really enjoy duck but the pieces were cut roughly so watch out for splintered bones. Overall pretty good.
I know a few favorite dishes so I'm trying to expand my horizons and try different things on the menu, which is quite extensive.

Had the stinky toufu and black chicken soup. Very good service and atmosphere. The chairs and tables are Chinese style and imported from China.

This has become one of our favorite restaurant . So far whatever we ordered has turned out good . This time planned to get vegetarian food for myself and ordered tofu which was good . Portion size for main course are too good . When the bill came found it to be expensive but when opened the Togo box price was completely justified.

The food is ok, some of them are very salty. service is blow average but still acceptable. The entire dinner they never came to ask if we need anything. We had to wave hands multiple times to get our water jar refilled.
We are a family of 6, ordered 1 appetizer 5 main course and 1 desert, we were charged 20% tips automatically. they even not telling us tips were included in the bill. They probably had made double tips if we did not check the bill carefully.
Do not recommend this restaurant.
