We got the chicken broccoli and mapo tofu. Both dishes were delicious! I love the authentic flavors. The lunch special comes with rice and soup (hot and sour soup or egg drop. I prefer the former)
August 16 · Angela Z.
Got a delivery of salt and pepper shrimp. The shrimp were not whole. They didn’t have the head nor shell on defeating the purpose of buying legit salt and pepper shrimp.
June 24 · End
Ordered delivery and thought it was one of the better deliveries in the neighborhood. My big thing is authenticity and this order seemed very authentic. Double cooked hunan pork and mouthwatering spicy chicken. Both dishes were expertly spiced and executed. I do like it spicy though so if you don’t maybe this isnt for you. Happily the chicken had been hacked up with no bones and balanced out by the peanuts and cilantro. The pork was perfect. This will be on the regular rotation for spicy Chinese food.
October 15 · William Reiland
Easily my go to Hunan cuisine restaurant in UWS. Very affordable lunch specials menu. Recommend the kungpao chicken, shredded beef, pork belly, and green beans.
December 15 · Viona
The place was packed with mostly Asians (students since it’s near Columbia?) on a midweek lunch. There is a reasonable lunch special ($10-11) that includes a 6oz soup. The Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce was spicy (I asked for “a little spicier” in Chinese) and flavorful with the ‘right’ vegetables (bamboo shoots, onions carrots celery?, not whatever veg-on-sale that is a filler to make the dish look big) albeit more vinegary than I’m used to. The Fish fillet with Ginger and Scallions was tasty and the fish tender. Both with a good amount of sauce for the rice. The Sweet and Sour Soup was a little bland (not sour enough, not enough earthy mushroom taste) and spicy, but, was too gelatinous (too much corn starch) and tasted too much like chicken bouillon. I would return to try other dishes. 2/2023.Returned 2/2024. Food is very good. I would like to say authentic but I’ve not been to Hunan - just lived in China for 8 years and have been eating Chinese food in Chinatown for a long time. Food is as authentically Chinese as you can get in the US. I had the Double cooked fish lunch special. The hot and sour soup was much better this time.
