Little Hunan — Restaurant in London

Excellent Chinese restaurant. Not your typical westernised Chinese restaurant, the dishes I tried here were authentic. I've never tried Hunan style Chinese cuisine, but it's somewhat similar to Sichuan style. The best of the three dishes was the special "spicy numbing" stir fry dish. You choose what ingredients you want for the dish (typically 4 featured ingredients) and it is served as a large dish to share. That was really delicious! The fragrant fish aubergine dish (it's a style of dish that doesn't actually have fish in), was nice and the vegetable noodles were very tasty. Service was nice. It's cash only which I had no idea about so it's good to know. The restaurant is casual, not fine dining or trendy, but the food is really standout... It's very hard to find good authentic non-westenised Chinese food in the UK. 100%...

We didn’t order much typical Hunan cuisine dishes as some of us are a “picky”with their choice of food. The intestines dish was good. Roast duck was ok, the wraps were not homemade, so can make better ones. Singapore noodles are average. Didn’t like the sweet-and-sour chicken- never like them not a Chinese fish really. Sizzling beef dish was ok - have tried better one before. We haven’t tried their hotpot. The menus/ food that you can have look good, but will update this next time. The Soju on the menu are not Korean soju, it’s just the very strong Chinese rice wine at 56% Alcohol. You wouldn’t like it if you are not used to the taste. On street parking is pay and display or by app for one hour or two hours opposite side of the road. Staff are friendly and offer good service. Will try their hotpot and give you the...

Was enjoying this until they tried to make me pay for 10% OPTIONAL service charge. The dish was £9.50, and I had a £10 note and no other change. Since they do not take card and the 10% service charge is optional, they should have accepted the £10 (£9.50 plus 5% tip) with grace. Instead I had to politely argue with two waitresses who insisted I pay £10.50. Considering that many restaurants with much better service and ambience don’t ask for service charge I don’t see why Little Hunan can justify forcing you to pay. Additionally at £10.50 it was a very stingy dish, with little noodles, meat or veggies. Many other Chinese restaurants will give you more.

Won’t come...
