Hot? Yeah, well, it's Hunan food - isn't that part of the point? A buddy in Vegas suggested I stop by Dong Ting Spring after he overheard me complain that I hadn't had good Hunan food in years - and he was absolutely correct. I had the smoked ham with dried turnip as well as an order of eggplant with long beans. The smoked ham was as good as I've ever had: high quality meat, plenty of it, with leeks and chilies like you wouldn't believe. The eggplant was super tasty as well with fresh, delicious long beans mixed in with another generous helping of chilies.
Best of all are the staff: friendly, patient, and keen to make sure you enjoy your meal while making you feel welcome. The restaurant is spotlessly clean with an wide variety of dishes on the menu - it's shame I don't live in Vegas because I'll never get to try everything they serve!
The only downside is the lack of a liquor license: iced water and hot tea are offered right up front, they do have some sodas, but alas no beer.
