Reviews
- thorny_brambleWent here with a friend one evening — it's this little Hunan place tucked away in a hutong, super easy to miss if you don't know it's there. We ordered the stir-fried beef with yellow chili, the crispy intestine with fresh peppers, and the smashed preserved egg with chili. The beef was so tender I literally couldn't pick it up with my chopsticks, no joke. The little dried chilies and pickled ones gave it this layered, building heat that just got better the more you ate. The intestine was really clean (not gonna lie, I was a little nervous about that), crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the green peppers added this fresh spicy kick. The smashed preserved egg and chili was legit too — super smooth and mixed up, honestly amazing over rice. We basically demolished a whole bowl of rice with it. Vibe inside is really nice, kinda cozy. First floor has wooden tables with plants everywhere, and there's a little rooftop terrace upstairs where we sat in the evening — trees swaying, a nice breeze rolling through, honestly so relaxing. Service was on point too, food came out pretty quick and they were attentive without being all over you. Overall a really solid experience, I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area.
