| - Unquestionably the best Chinese food in Pittsburgh, and the best Chinese food that I've had outside of Flushing, NY. Hunan Bar serves American Chinese, Hunan, and Sichuan style dishes (with at least 30 dishes from each cuisine). I ordered the Stir-Fry Pork Belly. It came with green peppers, scallions (cut in a way such that they absorbed the sauce and had a very pleasant flavor), deliciously sweet black beans, and 'hot spicy' red peppers. Both the flavor and spicy of the dish were outstanding. The dish also came with perfectly sticky steamed rice which absorbed the oil from the dish and added another filling yet tasty element to the meal.
In addition to the extensive menu, they have canned soy milk and jelly drinks. I suppose these are helpful in suppressing the spiciness of some of the dishes. (Some of the authentic dishes can probably be prepared very spicy).
Overall, the dishes were more expensive than the other Chinese restaurants in the area, but the quality is superior.
Also, the staff was helpful and friendly. I would rate Hunan Bar 4.5 stars if I could.
