Hunan cuisine is known for being dry hot and it can be really hot!
Hunan Restaurant and Bar as the name implies it is specialized in Hunan cuisine. So be prepared! If you cannot take the heat, you will definitely not good to able to enjoy some of the authentic dishes.
Hunan cuisine uses a lot of fresh peppers. I do love fresh peppers but I did overdose that evening...
We ordered:
Mixed Cold Dishes ($6.95)
- Nice and refreshing with raw carrot, cucumber, peanuts, cured meat
- Seasoned with just enough spiciness with chili hot and cilantro
- I feel like drinking a beer
Stir Fried A-Vegetables with Black Bean and Chili ($8.95)
- The spiciness and the tartness gave this dish an interesting complex taste
- Fresh chili uses to spice up the dish!
- Hot! I feel like drinking a beer
Pork with Garlic and Steamed Corn Bun ($9.95)
- Cured pork with more chili!
- Don't mistaken those green strips as green onion....
- hot and salty... the cured pork is quite tender
- Hot! Hot! I need a beer!
Stuffed Pork Pancake ($4.95)
- Though the filling were juicy but with all the other spicy dishes it is hard to taste the seasoning
- This is the only non spicy dish we ordered for the night and it was served at the end
- I don't like the wrapping as it was pan fried to crispy and it is way too hard
The decoration here is nice and roomy compare to other places I been to.
It is located at the back of the shopping plaza so might be hard to locate. But just circle around you will not miss those flashing blue lights!
Hunan has over 4,000 dishes, I might have to come back again and again to just have a taste of other dishes! But I don't think my Yelp friend can handle all these heat.. WATER please!
