Reviews
After some reflection, I am giving the restaurant a Five star. It could be better, but given there are only 2 decent Human-Shichuan restaurants left in Flushing, I need to give it a rating of 5 to show support. It is still the best Human restaurant in Flushing. If you want something authentic, you need to tell them that you are OK with spicy food. The other good Shichuan restaurant in Flushing is Daxi. They have cooks from China and the food is more like authentic Chinese food. This one could not resist the temptation to westernize. Still very good, though.
I came here for my bday few days ago. They actually just renovated. Its a lot nicer now and has few private rooms. which is nice for family or private dinner parties. All the waiters were nice and friendly. which is a plus. Now to the important part. food. this place has imo excellent food. all the dishes I ordered was good and tasty. lil spicy, which it should b, since this is a spicy restaurant. all the dishes hit the spot just right. you can always ask the waiter to cater the spicyness to your tolerence. so no need to worry about it being too spicy or not as spicy. mayb one downside is the dishes are a lil small. but thats a very lil thing. has no affect on my opinion of this place. From their service to their foof varieties to their food taste, hands down 5 stars. So anyone that is nearby or even not nearby. if you like or love spicy food, def go try this spot. wont b disappointed. and even if youre not into spicy food, still give it a try. it might make you a fan.
Hunan tastes. Spicy, Hot! I like spicy food. Just good for me! Price is around 20-40. 5 adults may cost 200!
We used to go to Hunan Cafe often pre-covid but stopped when the quality dropped. We went again on a Friday night to see if it was better after the renovations. We were pleasantly surprised at the food, portions, service and spaciousness of the new design! Our girls loved the chicken rice noodle soup (incredibly flavorful broth), tripe with bamboo shoots, spicy pig trotter, and spicy cauliflower. Everything was delicious, not too salty with good sized portions so we had a lot doggy bagged. My husband dropped a chopstick and one of the staff quickly ran over to give him a new pair without asking. They also had ikea utensils for kids which was a nice touch. Glad their quality is back, and can't wait to try other dishes.
The taste is quite good, the environment is very good ，I like it very much and will come again
