My family enjoys certain dishes but they are inconsistent each time depending on what ingredients they decide to use. Still I go back and try to be understanding. The staff are always friendly but I do not think they are there anymore. Who I see all the time is who I precieved to be the owner. I do not know if I be going back anymore base on business practices and attitude. I always do takeout now due to covid. I have in the past called to place my orders. They are inconsistent in answering the phone and when they do, do not understand what you are ordering even though you are reading from their menu. Then it was easier to do online ordering via ChowBus. It worked except they do not read the ordering notes. Today, I tried to call in my order. No answer so I just ordered through ChowBus. When I got there, she said she does not take online orders. I told her I paid already and she was annoyed and acted like this is my problem-not her's. Then I found out she does not accept ChowBus. ???? I then asked if I can place a order and she said no as they were closed even though I was there before their closing time. Then I asked which day they are closed? She unpleasantly said we are close tomorrow. I aways been a easy customer. Usually my orders are over a hundred and I have sympathy for business so I tip always when doing to go. In return I get no appreciation. All I get is the expression that I am not wanted. Now I have to figure how to get my money back.

A good restaurant with Chinese special cuisine has very good service. The waitress helped us take pictures, and the dishes are very good taste and quickly. The price is reasonable.A perfect experience here.

Delicious food with ample portions & courteous staff! Try Mao's Braised Pork Belly & the bean curd with julienne peppers!

Just see the pics- absolutely amazing. This the the gold standard as far as I'm concerned for Hunan food in LA. We ate beer braised duck, beef with cilantro, XLB, bone broth, eggplant 'casserole'/stir fry? Sautéed lettuce stems and fish head 'casserole'. The term casserole is used VERY loosely. The XLB was for the kiddo and ok, but not really Hunan. The fish head casserole is a must have. Delicious! Spicy, sweet, salty and tender, delicate meat! The silky tofu was just a bonus to gobble up with the sauce. The duck was delicious too but the veggies really were my favorite after the fish head. I've never had lettuce stems cooked this way before but I will be ordering them every time from now on. So crunchy and seasoned so well, I would've eaten 2 orders if I had more time. The eggplant had the most perfect texture- I've never been able to get my eggplant to stay this crunchy! Not at all greasy or mushy- I could not get enough of this! So perfect! The bone broth was an excellent soup to help wash everything else down and accompany the rice. We requested mild heat on most of the dishes but I realize I could've taken a bit hotter. Still it's not as if it lacked heat either. I was so sad I didn't have room in my stomach for more! I have no idea what all the bad reviews are about- I blame the reviewers. It will probably go better if you have someone in your party order in Mandarin, though, haha! I would give 6 stars if I could! The service was fast and courteous, and the food could NOT have been any better!

The food was not authentic Hunan food;The food tasted okay;The food gave both my friend and myself very bad stomach pain and diarrhea for 5 times the other day;The only thing good was the service.

When my best friend and I don't know where to hangout for food, we'll think about this place. My must-have list: Fish Head Casserole (add Tofu!!); Cauliflower with pork grind; Wild mushroom hot pot; Beef served cold with spicy special sauce. Tip: call ahead to reserve Fish Head Casserole. It will take about 45 minutes to serve.

My standard for Hunan-style food is a bit high, so I think this restaurant was just okay. In terms of value, it was also......okay. I won't go back soon, but if I want to have spicy food again, I will consider it too.

Excellent! Got the crispy lamb, onion pie, dumplings, rice. Perfect taste, and size for two people. Will be back to try the rest of the enormous menu.
Got 6 dishes, and some dishes were yummy, like the cumin lamb dish or the sauteed sliced sea snail, or the spicy chicken dish that they had. The spiciness had some layers to it, but still was quite spicy; paired well with rice but they did not provide rice surprisingly through an app. Had to separate order the rice...anyway. The other 3 dishes, I was just okay with it -- cauliflower w/ pork chives, steamed fish w chili pepper, and eggplant with string bean dish.

This f$&king restaurant should be burn to the ground!!! How this pos owner could stay in business is beyond human reasoning. Order 2 simple dishes during Covid for delivery, the 2 dishes were so toxically salty they were bitter. It's as if the chef is purposefully trying to poising their customer. This food is cooked w utter hate and contempt by the chef. Order and eat at ur peril.

Take out with no chopsticks and napkins. Force us pay the tips with bad attitude. Sucks

Thanks they have take out during the pandemic. They have really good Sichuan food but personally I do recommend order less salt and oil for the food

Good authentic Hunan style Chinese food. Red chilly medium spicy dishes overall. The fried rice and chicken dishes were really good. Most of the dishes were written in Chinese and the waitress tried to explain her best. Parking space in rear and on roadside.
