Braised whole fish
Ana T.

They are new so a lot of dishes ran out if you come on an unlucky day. But food is very good, they have that smoky and garlicky taste typical of Hunan food. They also dont skimp on the meat and service is fast. The restaurant is big and there's a dedicated parking lot at the front.

Keo N.

A relatively new addition to the SGV food scene - and wow, did we feast. Eight hungry humans, 15 glorious dishes. Why? Because restraint is overrated and curiosity is delicious. Oink oink! The whole fish and bullfrog were definite standouts--packed with flavor and beautifully prepared. The eggplant with century egg was another highlight: rich, savory, and surprisingly balanced. We're already plotting our return. There are still dishes on that menu that haven't met our chopsticks yet, and that just feels wrong.

Bryan C.

An tasty and relatively affordable way to dine on classic Hunan cooking! We ordered the eggplant, braised pork and hunan-style fish, and was very full and satisfied with our purchase for 3 people. Rice is charged per person, but absolutely necessary to absorb the flavors. Some of the flavors are a bit toned down (possibly to adjust to the larger local population of Cantonese and Taiwanese customers) but still hits the nodes necessary for an authentic experience. A new and welcome addition to the 626!

Tofu spicy fish, spicy gizzard and veggie

Clean, spicy and delicious , worth trying. Will come here again. I prefer the chicken.

作为湖南长沙人,还是蛮推荐这家湖南菜馆的。 尤其是经典的湖南菜辣椒炒肉 我的侄女才11岁 竟然吃到还要加一份 所以我们决定下次party 还会来这里。忘记拍照片 ,只拍了这份打包的剩下的辣椒炒肉和黄喉炒藕尖

The food is good food, I'm from Changsha Hunan China, I know what kind of food is good HuNan food, and the server is great too, she is definitely a great person to work at this restaurant, we will be back again for my mom's birthday

House special chili sauce in whole fish
Rong F.

Service: A young guy might be a partner, as he's giving advise to the kitchen how to do certain dishes...) He's very friendly attentive. Food: 4.5-star Ordered 3-item, other than portions is kinda small (2-peep sharing 3 dishes yet not enough...) 1). Organic Cauliflower 干鍋机台山花椰菜 4-star Stirred fried style w/small amount of diced leeks for garnish. I can also taste the hint of cumin in flavor yet I rather not to hv it I see they also put some drops of pork cracklings for the flavors, and it really highlights the dish-reminding me home cooking from my parents generation 2). 剝椒全魚House special chili sauce w/whole fish: 5-star Wow! It's the best dish over all Chili sauce is hot fresh delicious Fish is tender tasty as much of rice u like to pair with! 3) Chili Stir fried Frog 4.5-star 干鍋牛蛙 Portion is small, frog meat is not enough to feed 2-peep... Other than the small portion, the Shisu (purple herbal leaves, which is typical flavoring used in Hunan cuisine, and u can see it in Japanese cuisine for garnish) and colorful diced fresh green, red, and yellow chilies are sure a spicy bright flavors to this dish! This place needs to post an English name on the web site to promote and to expose their business. I find this spot when I was driving by in the area in the corner of 5th street on Valley Blvd. Plenty of parking in their lot. I encourage all foodies who enjoy spicy (not numb) Hunan style cuisine to come give a try!

Great Mapo tofu
Paul R.

Great taste and good ambiance Great service Mapo tofu was excellent Braised pork belly was super nice tasty Bull frog hot pot great taste all around

Exterior
David R. C.

Nice , large well appointed Hunan style restaurant with a number of interesting dishes, particularly turtle and frog items. Finally glad to see them open as this was under construction for many months. And strangely the interior isn't much different from the predecessor Nine Dining. Nine Dining had not only taken over the space formerly occupied by Cafe Spot, and then later New Haojing, but took over the entire shopping center to build a large upscale skewer centric restaurant. That experiment failed fairly quickly, but hopefully Xianglalou will make a go of it.

味道 非常好 ,很适合下饭 ,主要是菜没有那么油 这一点我很喜欢 , 坏境也很干净整洁 ,服务也不错. 喜欢辣口的朋友可以值得来 ! food is good anyway, and the service is great too,

Incredible food. I wish I had 2 stomachs.
Dirk D.

Incredible food and service. We were lucky to get a table on new years eve. Came with 8 Chinese and Americans and we were all delighted by the delicious food, service, and ambience. Will be back again soon.

Red-Braised Fish

Service was exceptional and the food was great! The staff was able to converse in mandarin, cantonese, and english. I recommend the red-braised fish, garlic shrimp, and pork kidney. The flavor was delicious!

Spicy beef

Great taste authentic Hunan spicy dishes!! We ordered spicy kidney and spicy beef. Very tender meats and good quantity. Priced lower than henzhou spicy king.

Taste of MP now allows ordering lunch special to-go too? New boss lady/manager is on top of things! Monday lunch after 1pmish, she offered to even give us tupperwares of soup since they said they'll be tossing after lunch is done. I feel soup is usually not allowed to-go even if there's leftovers from dining, and definitely not when ordering take-out. Soup and rice are usually dine-in benefits. So given soup to go was really nice! What we got this time 5/11/26 Monday 1pmish visit: (After Mother's day) -- #1. Pan fried string beans with lunches pork and pickled olives $12.99 #3. Eggplant and minced pork with garlic sauce $12.99 #18. Beef and Tomato $13.99. Maybe not for us next time. #23. Sauteed Chicken with Bay Leaves $13.99. We've visited several times. Old notes for self -- New Year Day, and certain holidays have no lunch special. The SO did like these dishes before too. #26 Sauteed squid with black bean sauce. #57 Preserved vegetables with pork intestine. Jellyfish cold appetizer is decent from here too.

Absolutely loved the beef noodle soup and popcorn chicken here. The portion of the beef noodle soup…read moreis huge with soooo much noodles and beef chunks! And the price is extremely reasonable. The beef noodle soup is one of the best I've had around here. Really flavorful dark broth but not too salty or heavy on the soy sauce. Chewy thick noodles. Softened bok choy. The beef was a hit and miss, some pieces were tender and juicy and others was a bit on the drier side. Also their popcorn chicken literally felt like twice the size of any other place but at a cheaper price. It's everything you want a popcorn chicken to be. I like that you can customize the spiciness too. I am excited to return, and I hear a lot of their other items are fantastic too.

You could order take out by skipping the line and going straight inside. You order through a paper and the server will come and double check that it is everything you ordered. Inside was clean and they have a restroom in the back. I got the popcorn chicken, sesame noodles, and mango tea. Can never go wrong with a popcorn chicken. This was my first time trying their sesame noodles and it was delicious! It was nutty, chewy, and perfectly sauced up. I was even dipping the popcorn chicken in the sauce. The teas always come in HUGE cups. The mango tea is my favorite. I would say their tea is usually on the sweeter side. Safe to say this place never fails me.

I've…read moreseen social media influencers rave about it, and several people in my personal life have recommended it too. All I can say is the hype is real. My crew and I went on a Friday night, and even though it was very busy, we were seated fairly quickly. There were four of us, and here's what we ordered: chicken fried rice, Shanghai-style chow mein, sweet and sour chicken, and juicy pork dumplings. Chicken Fried Rice: It was soft and pillowy with great flavor, though I felt it could have used a bit more color. It looked a little pale, but it was still delicious. Shanghai-Style Chow Mein: This was perfect. The flavor was spot on, the sauce was well-balanced, and the noodles had the ideal texture. The ratio of noodles, vegetables, and meat was just right. Sweet and Sour Chicken: This was the highlight for me. My only regret is not ordering more to take home. The chicken was crispy without being overdone, and it was coated in that delicious sweet and sour sauce. Juicy Pork Dumplings: We were at a dumpling house, so we had to order dumplings. These did not disappoint. They were very flavorful, and the broth inside was rich and satisfying. We originally planned to order more dishes, but the portions were generous, and we ended up with just the right amount to leave satisfied. Overall, this place lives up to the hype. I can't wait to come back and try more.

We come here for the low price wonton noodles, steamed spareribs on steamed rice, and the beef rice…read morenoodle rolls. We also order their HK style lemon iced tea. It's pretty good here and they have complimentary refills! They're known for their rice noodle rolls here and you can order them, along with their small dim sum menu, all day long. The wonton noodles here were just $13.98! They come with 5 large wontons and vegetables over wonton noodles. I always recommend adding chili oil. The steamed spareribs on steamed rice have some bones, just like the ones you find at dim sum. But there's a lot of meat in the steamed rice bowl for a single person. Free parking in rear parking lot. Entrance at the front on Garvey Ave. They have 2 entrances in front now. Left door for to-go orders and right door for dine-in.

We got seated pretty quickly even when they were busy. My most recent visit, the foods improved so much. We got a ribeye. I tried a piece and literally wanted the whole plate to myself lol it was so juicy and so tender!! The salted fish fried rice without chicken was delicious. It wasn't so salty. The rice was perfectly cooked. Bolognese was tasty. It was also not that salty. Perfecto amount of sauce and cheese. The vermicelli was surprisingly better than it looked. I wasn't expecting much from it. However, I noticed I kept eating it hahha The lemon iced tea was a let down. Even though they offered refills, but there were white stuff flowing around. The staff didn't even have an explanation for it. He even mistakenly took it for some passion fruit drinks and said it was some sugar they used. Right when I told him it was lemon iced tea, he said let me change it out for you. He came back, but the drink still looked somewhat weird. I took a sip and toss the whole cup. Seating could be a bit dirty. Will return for the ribeye hehhe hopefully the quality will be the same or even better
