Reviews
- Kendall_13Honestly, this place is super solid for Hubei food. I tried the Wuhan three-delicious tofu skin — it was so good, the skin was crispy and the sticky rice inside was soft and chewy, and the little bits of pork and mushroom in there were packed with flavor. The dry-fried shredded lotus root was a standout too, super crispy outside but tender inside, and the sweetness of the lotus root mixed with the spices was just right. Portions are huge, my family and I could barely finish everything. The staff were really friendly, food came out fast, and they even adjusted the portions since we didn't have that many people. The place was clean and had this real local Hubei vibe going on, which I loved. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area again!
