Reviews
- delicate_cloveCame here with a friend and honestly had such a good time! The place is super clean and they've got an open kitchen where you can actually watch the chefs working, which I kinda loved — felt really reassuring. The stir-fried pork was amazing, perfectly spicy, not gamey at all, and it just kept getting better the more I ate. The staff was so sweet — they kept refilling our tea without us asking and even warned us about the spice level. Plus it was Women's Day so they gave us little flowers, which was such a cute touch. We ordered a bunch of Hunan dishes and every single one was solid, super authentic flavor, and we left totally stuffed and happy. Definitely coming back!
