Fake duck blood.
Ordered pick up. the duck blood was fake. The beef was tough, and the cucumber skin, which used to be crisp and refreshing when dining in, was this time mushy and salty. The flavor was good, but it felt like there was no nutrition — just fake duck blood and a bunch of artificial stuff.

Extremely slow restaurant. Placed a takeout order and the restaurant took about 90 mins to prep the food, we had to wait at the parking lot for a very long time and they kept telling us they are preparing it and it’s gonna be quick.

Food is Okay. Atmosphere is not good. Many people brought their dogs in the restaurant and their dogs were not trained. They kept barking, scaring other customers, blocking the way etc. It’s definitely not good place to enjoy the dinner.

Food is average. The atmosphere is bad. They allow non-service dogs in the restaurant that were consistently barking and causing issues.
There were two tables when we were there, one table had 1 dog. The other table had 4 dogs. These were not service dogs, they were pet dogs. These dogs were constantly barking and causing noise and commotion.
The dog owners had trouble controlling their dogs and staff did nothing to try to calm the situation. If you’re looking for a pleasant and nice atmosphere to enjoy a meal, please look elsewhere.

So disappointed. Wait for 40min and no food ready
Avoid at all cost, not worth it to even have a try at this place

Tomato egg is delicious.
The food was awful. The Twice-Cooked Pork with Chili came with two giant chunks of meat instead of proper slices—completely not what it should be. While the server did replace the dish after we pointed it out, the overall quality didn’t improve. The fried rice noodles were soggy and broke apart immediately, and the pig trotter still had large patches of hair left uncleaned.
Hygiene was a serious issue. On the way to the restroom, I passed the kitchen and saw cooked beef just sitting in plastic crates directly on the floor.
Service was mixed. The staff were polite when we spoke to them, but it was hard to actually find anyone. One server was sitting by the entrance playing mobile games and didn’t seem interested in helping.
Not coming back.
We love this place ..great food with lots of variety
It's a very busy place on a Saturday night, so expect some waiting time. It's authentic and flavorful Xiang Chinese Hunan cuisine, not the typical oily American Chinese food. I would highly recommend this place. It's not too spicy and even my kids could eat all the different dishes that I ordered. So those who complained about the spiciness level definitely had zero tolerance towards spice. The food is very well flavored and appetizing. This place is for true foodies who are willing to try a cuisine which is different from their usual Chinese American food.

I got the green pepper chicken gizard and the dried red pepper fried chicken...real hot, real good...
Fast and good service.
Will go back soon.
yummy😋
It's always wonderful to discover a great restaurant with delicious food. Hunan cuisine is known for its bold and spicy flavors.
