Reviews
- Blair_36A friend had been telling me I needed to try this place for the longest time — they said the Hunan food here is super authentic — so I finally went. Honestly, it lived up to the hype. The pan-fried stinky mandarin fish was amazing, the fish was so tender and the sauce was so rich, I basically just poured it over my rice and it was insanely good. The stir-fried beef with yellow peppers was great too, the beef was super fresh and the veggies were cooked just right. The place itself was clean and the private rooms felt really cozy, perfect for hanging out with friends. Overall a really solid meal, exactly what I was expecting, and I'll definitely be coming back.
