Chef Ecy’s Dining Experience:🥰 Food | Ambience | Service | Easy Access | Restroom Cleanliness | Price | Easy Parking | Wheelchair Friendly | Corkage Fee🙂😠 Pet Friendly | Cake Cutting Fee This popular Hunan restaurant has several branches across Hong Kong. As the name suggests, it specializes in authentic Hunan cuisine, which is famously spicy, but they also offer an excellent selection of non-spicy dishes.The ambience is welcoming and traditional, decorated with red lanterns throughout. The space is clean, tidy, and conveniently located at street level, making it wheelchair accessible. It's very easy to get to via bus, minibus, or tram. If you're taking the MTR, alight at North Point Station (Exit A1) and it's just a two-minute walk along Java Road. For drivers, there is metered street parking nearby, as well as the Harbour North shopping mall car park directly across the street.Service is excellent, and the restaurant has a customer-friendly policy of no corkage fee, though they do charge HK$50 for cake cutting. They offer great value with weekday lunch sets, though we opted for à la carte to sample a wider variety of dishes.Overall, most dishes were excellent. The non-spicy options, like the braised pork belly, bitter melon, steamed egg, and various tofu dishes, had a delicious, homely quality. The spicy fish in sour soup was a standout - incredibly tender and flavorful.A few dishes, however, missed the mark. The roast chicken was unfortunately quite dry and skimpy on meat. The stir-fried yellow beef, one of their signature dishes, was surprisingly tough and overly salty on both occasions I've tried it. The ox tripe and stinky tofu were just okay, and the xiaolongbao looked different than expected.Despite these few shortcomings, this is a fantastic choice when you're craving authentic and spicy Chinese food, and I would certainly return to explore more of the menu.…Read More
