Reviews
- odd_primroseI ordered the chef's stir-fried pork and it was so good — mostly lean meat, didn't get stuck in my teeth, and the flavor was really well balanced. Not too spicy, just super easy to eat. The stir-fried chicken with pickled radish had this nice tangy kick, not heavy at all, and the chicken itself was really flavorful, just a great combo. The Changsha stinky tofu was honestly amazing — crispy outside, soft inside, and the smell was so good, definitely eat it while it's hot. The restaurant itself was clean, and I sat by the window so I could watch the street, nice vibe. The waitstaff brought the food out fast and were really friendly. Overall a really comfortable experience, I'd come back.
