Tasty dishes! At some point though the smoke from the kitchen was seeping into the dining area. But overall would come back

Haven’t been here in a while—this place’s stir-fried pork with chili is our favorite! Lucky to catch the June promo: free white rice and no tip needed for dine-in.

Came here with my friend who is from Hunan. He said the flavor is not far off. So it’s a good choice. The eggplant in the tara cotta pot is delicious. It’s a small and quiet place with super high ceiling. Nice.

Keep in mind that we're party of four and ordered only 3 dishes. It's Irvine portion, but they are delicious. The Hunan braised pork is sweet. We as a group agreed that we like beef fried rice the most out of the 3 dishes we ordered.
