Reviews
- weighty_orangutanHad a group dinner here with my lab mates and honestly it blew me away. Free parking and you can reserve ahead, super convenient for a group thing. The signature wok-fried yellow beef cooked in 38 seconds was insane — super high heat, beef was so tender and juicy, and the chili peppers made it perfect with rice. We got a private room and it was really cozy, nice green plants around, staff were friendly and food came out fast. The chili stir-fried pork and the clay pot flat beans were also worth ordering — the first one was spicy and super satisfying, the second was crunchy and cut through the richness. Overall the flavor is authentic Hunan-style and even my friends from the south who can't handle heat too well were fine with it. Great spot for 5-10 people, friends or coworkers, price per person is really reasonable. Definitely coming back.
