Reviews
- calm_poppy_seedFound this super popular Hunan place right by my office and finally got a friend to come try it with me. Honestly every single dish was so good, the kind of food you keep thinking about after. Big spicy Hunan flavors, the real deal, didn't feel dumbed down at all. Definitely gonna be coming back regularly — no more trekking across the city for good spicy food!
