📍 Locked in as Boston's No. 1 Canteen!

👣 Address: Hunan Cuisine · Chinatown 🚇 4-minute walk to the subway station 🧾 Price per person: $30–50 🥢 Perfect for: students craving a taste of home / office workers' lunch / spicy food gatherings after work 🥇 All-Time Favorites · Must-order every time: 🍖 Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs: The sweet-sour balance is divine—sauce perfectly reduced, ribs fried fragrant and tender, not dry at all. Served with rice, it’s a knockout. Mapo Tofu: Not the Sichuan numbing kind, but rich and savory with silky-soft tofu—an absolute rice-mixing beast! Pickled Pepper Chicken Gizzard: Bold pickled pepper flavor, gizzard chewy with a crisp bite—super refreshing and great as a take-home beer snack. Blistered Pepper Eggplant with Century Egg: This combo is made for strong-flavor lovers—salty, spicy, smoky eggplant mixed in—a true rice companion hero. Dry-fried String Beans: Exceeded expectations! Even as someone who usually avoids beans, I finished a whole bowl of rice with this—crisp outside, tender inside, mildly spicy and fragrant. So good I wanted to order a second portion to go! ⚠️ Okay Options · Depends on your taste: Xiangxi-style Grilled Fish: Slightly fishy, sauce didn’t soak in well. Side dishes (vermicelli, bean sprouts) were decent, but the fish itself fell short—not recommended as a main. Braised Pork Trotters: Trotters themselves were springy and savory, but portion was small. Unless you’re a trotter fanatic, you could skip. Steamed Fish with Chopped Chili: Not live fish, but steamed perfectly—fermented black beans + chopped chili combo was aromatic. Takes 30 mins to steam, so go for it if you have time! ✅ Summary: 🍚 This is a "rice-down Hunan spot" + "top-tier takeout counter"—not about fancy plating, but the wok hei (breath of the wok) is unreal. Perfect for when your taste buds need a revival! 📌 Best to go with 2–3 people and share—every dish pairs amazingly with rice (seriously, order extra rice!). #FoodiePartner #StudentEats #SatisfyTheChineseCraving #Boston #BostonFood
