Reviews
- Lior_2My friend told me this place had legit Hunan food and honestly it totally delivered. The pork with chili was so flavorful, super spicy and just hits the spot, and the pork stomach soup was warm and comforting, perfect way to start the meal. The whole place has this old Beijing vibe going on, really cozy and chill, great spot to come with friends. Staff was super friendly and the food came out pretty fast too. Portions are generous and the prices are super reasonable, left feeling like I got way more than I paid for. Definitely coming back.
