"Founded a decade ago under a slightly different name, Hunan Cafe was one of the first restaurants to fully introduce Hunan food in faithful form to New York City. Fish head with pickled chiles, sautéed mustard leaf, and pig trotters in wooden pot are all especially delectable. The space on Northern Boulevard across from the Flushing Town Hall verges on elegant, and the food can be extremely spicy and pickly. Call (718) 353-1808 to order." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff
