Hunan Kitchen of Grand Sichuan

Love this spot!! They have really good over rice specials that gives you a lot of good and under $10. That’s extremely rare. If I am sick of Kabul kabab next door I like to come here.

My family have been regulars for > 8 years. Its authetic Hunan flavors with enough variety for vegetarias and vegans too. Thankfully they are able to tone down the spiciness to the right amount when requested. We have many favorite dishes such as grileed fish with black bean sauce, sizzling beef steak, cumin beef, sauteed eggplant, triple bamboo, cucumber with scallion sauce, tomatoes and eggs, steam dumplings etc. I read some of the negative reviews and i have never experienced any of that. My parents and I come here almost every sunday for the past several months. Food is consistently good, prices are average or better then some of the other restaurants in Flushing. The wait staff are very attentive and nice. The owner always greets us warmly when he sees us. Give it a try !

Everything was fantastic. The hollow-stem greens are so good. We also shared the cucumber with scallion sauce, cumin lamb, steamed fish with chopped pepper, sautéed eggplant, sizzling beef, triple bamboos, sautéed pea shoots, soup dumplings and rice. Everything was shared with a big "lazy susan" in the middle, but actually it was a "hard working susan" because nobody could get enough of everything (but the dishes were large and the price extremely fair). Service was great and the atmosphere was really nice. Great place!

I love the food and service and the place decorations too😍😍😍😍

The food is fantastic and the Hunan chicken is the real star. Service is also very friendly and super helpful. This little Flushing gem is a "must" .

Restaurant looks like it updated on the inside. Small cute place for a meal with family or friends. Parking is tight around this area. There is a parking lot not to far. Portions are good & food is tasty.

The customer service was everything and in my opinion the food and quality was average I would give this place a 9.5/10

It’s actually called Hunan Kitchen

Delicious Sichuan food at a great price. We order from here frequently at work and I always look forward to it. They have awesome lunch specials (less than $10!) and generally very quick with preparation and delivery. I'm a fan of everything I've tried here so far. That includes the mapo tofu with minced pork, spicy diced chicken, shredded beef with spicy green peppers, and the Mao's style braised pork. Yum. I'm getting hungry as I'm writing this review...

This place is a bit of a walk from the main hub of Flushing, but it was definitely worth the trek. Came here for a weeknight dinner. We ordered two entrees and an app to share. The app we ordered was the pumpkin mochi cakes, and they were hot and delicious - we were so excited to try them that we forgot to take photos! The entrees were also very flavorful, especially the sliced cured pork with dried string beans and dried radish. I was afraid that a dish with those ingredients would be too salty, but they were able to balance the flavors just right. Would absolutely order that dish again. Service was quick and friendly, and you definitely get value for money at this resto. Would recommend if you are looking for delicious Hunan food while getting away from the usual crowded spots in central Flushing.

Food: pretty mediocre, nothing special. I've gotten their lunch special a few times. It tastes more like one of those fast food, pick 4 side dishes type of places. Cleanliness: not very clean. The tables were covered with layers and layers of disposable plastic tablecloths. I assume they can remove a layer every time a table is done dining. Nope, the just wiped it. I got seated and there was rice and sticky dripping on the table cloth still. Service: the waitstaff is nice. I was a little annoyed that they wouldn't let me pay with card because had to be over $20, even though with tip it would've been well over $20. But then when I paid with cash they didn't even give me the correct change.

Short review: Would recommend the braised pork belly with pickled mustard greens/Mei Cai Kou Rou/梅菜扣 heavily. The rest of the food was alright. Other note: They are also known as Gu-Xiang-Wei. Same exact address and they have a website for both places which is a bit different. I was at this restaurant was one of my walking groups as they unlike many other places do separate checks even for big groups. There was some peanuts to munch on while waiting. I decided to split a dish with another person as for some reason our group was already mostly separately but after the dishes came out, we shared a good amount of the food which is definitely more appropriate for the spot. In terms of the actual menu, it is a odd mix of Chinese food from a variety of regions though definitely mostly Sichuan and Hunan along of some American Chinese food. The first dish ordered from us was the Mei Cai Kou Rou/梅菜扣肉 or Braised Pork Belly With Pickled Mustard Greens which are the mei cai/meigan cai of the dish. This was surprisingly delicious and one of the best versions I've had in recent memory. The park was perfectly rendered down and there was an ample amount of mustard greens which helped which with the richness. I would actually highly recommend it. We also got the Stir-Fry Eggplant With Green Beans as we figured a lighter dish would pair well and it did. It was a lighter stir-fry and it was pretty tasty also with a good texture difference between the two veggies. Two of the people ordered the Mao Red Braised Pork Belly/Hong Shao Rou/紅燒肉. I tried a bit and it was alright. I've had much more flavorful versions from other spots in Flushing and several as well in Manhattan but still pretty decent. I also tried some type of hot plate beef which was alright as well (beef could be more tender.) the fried rice was good and someone had a soup (unsure the type outside of it being pork) as their main dish. I tried a little bit and found to be a bit bland compared to other places I've been to and it definitely needed black vinegar as well as some of their chili oil. Another person started with the Hot And Sour Soup/酸辣湯. As it was the more traditional variety, it was definitely less cornstarch focused and more on the sour end. Perfectly fine but I think it could have used a little bit more wood-ear and bamboo. Nice big portion. They also had the Kung Pao Chicken which was very different as there was little pieces of some pineapple for some reason. I wouldn't really recommend it much as it didn't taste like the actual Sichuan version but perhaps they changed up a bit because of what he ordered. The food that we ordered was pretty good while most of the other dishes were decent enough. If the braised pork belly wasn't so good, I probably would drop this down to a 3 but for that one particularly good dish and for the pretty reasonable prices for the portion sizes, it'll bump up. Service was also pretty friendly.

This is an updated review. We have not been here for a long time. One Saturday we decided to get lunch here. The food were still great. Service was great too. Our waitress were very attentive and polite. The place were not busy when we were there. Food came out pretty quickly. We'll go back again for sure.

Small hole-in-the-wall Chinese spot in the middle of Flushing's China town. The place does not look like much, but they have amazing and authentic Chinese food! All meals are started off with tasty complimentary peanuts and tea, and the dishes are served family style. Prices are great, as you get a ton of food with each dish My GF and I tried their sizzling beef, lo main, rice balls, & scallion pancake and were very impressed with everything that we tried. We also were served enough food for 2-3 meals, so we had tons of leftovers!

Yum! Really good Chinese takeout with authentic dishes. Not a whole lot of vegetarian options, but the broccoli in garlic sauce was far superior to your average takeout joint. The 'over rice' dishes are such a good value!! We balled out and only spent 30 bucks. Just an FYI, the hunan fried rice has meat.

I am with Awkwafina. She knows what's good Chinese. Amazing flavor especially the braised tofu! The tofu is fresh and tender, full of flavor from the sauce. Definitely must try. The price was reasonable for the quality of each dish. You can also pay cards here. The place is a bit small so it might get overcrowded at food time. The staff were very friendly. Treated us with full enthusiasm even during the end of their shift. I would definitely visit again! For Asians, you can taste the Hunan style cooking while for non Asians, the food is amazing, trust me and awkwafina.

First time here , tried Dandan noodles their specialty apparently. It didn't taste good. The meat just tasted like salt no flavor. Noodles were good but the veggies and spice/peppers tasted bad. Also when I went there, the cashier literally just talked on the phone even after seeing me. I didn't want to interrupt her so I waited but after she finished , she talked to a new person on the phone. Wasted several minutes...another lady came and gave me my pick up order.

The best thing to get here is the sour string beans with minced meat. It is so sour, so crispy, so spicy, so good! Get the rice on the side, since they put it over rice if they don't ask for it to be on the side.

This place fell off big time on my most recent visit. It should have been a sign that they were pretty empty on a weekend evening. The kao ghu so pork shoulder I loved last time was devoid of actual meat. Lot of potatoes though. The free range chicken soup was nauseatingly greasy with heavy duty oils in a way only bad Chinese restaurants can achieve. Also very little actual meat just lots of bone. Some dishes were still good such as the suai le hon stir fried mustard tips. Portions for all the dishes seemed way smaller this time around.

Came here during Covid times, seatings werent allowed indoors so we had to order for take out. We had: Mapo Tofu on rice, Hunan Special Fried Noodle, and Hunan chicken. The tofu and the chicken were spicy. I should have known it. Everything else was tasty and good

We were so excited to find out that our favorite Chinese restaurant open for take-out amid Covid-19, so we drove from Manhattan just to pick up the food from here. Calling in first to place the order but the receptionist seemed unfamiliar with the menu. I also asked for White Peppers Smoked Beef and she kept asking me for the number on the menu, then finally said the menu changed and they no longer served it - 2nd bad sign. When we arrived, we were not familiar with faces and the nice lady manager was not presented, so we asked if the owner had changed. The receptionist said yes and she confirmed the chef wasn't changed as well as the recipes. We kind of felt confident and placed 2 more: Beef with Cumin and Farmer-styled Tofu. It's my fault for not checking what's in the bag. When we got home, we opened it up and found Green Peppers with Beef, the thing we did not agree to order. Not only that, the Farmer Tofu was not the same anymore. Tofu is now fried and piled up with bell peppers. Three bamboo shoots turn out to be a single bamboo shoot. Nothing tastes the same from white rice to Farmer-styled pork. We also ordered everything extra spicy, and it's just too spicy. It's nice of you to open the business to serve people at this time but it's very sad that the food quality has gone down hill and we couldn't get that same quality back. Don't get me wrong. I think they did their best and the food is edible, just not as tasty as it used to be. It's the end of our good 9-year experience. Please share the information if anyone knows which restaurant the old chef goes!

This is quintessential New York Chinese food located almost like a hole in the wall place. Fair warning, parking is challenging. My party ordered chicken fried rice, lo mein, steamed bok choy, double cooked fish fillet, Hunan chicken and white rice. Everything came out hot and fast. Of all the dishes, my favorite was the Hunan chicken over white rice. It was delicious. I especially liked how the chicken was cut into small pieces. This dish is hot so if you aren't a fan of spicy, you might want to get something else. I'll be back next time I'm in town!

Mostly known for their takeout/delivery this hole in the wall institution has super cheap lunch specials, a variety of dishes spicy and non spicy and competitive pricing for the area. We got, spicy lamb, frog in casserole pot with bamboo, fuzzy squash, sour fish fillet in soup , fish fillet with ginger and scallion and string beans. Nothing was really memorable but nothing was bad either, I didn't try the lamb or frog dish however since I don't eat those. We were the only table on a monday night and saw massive amounts of delivery orders being prepared, their complimentary dish is just salted peanuts, decor is minimal.

terrible place. they claim to not receive my order yet i paid for it and ordered directly from their website. dont order from here. scam. they are of no help and claim to know nothing about it.

I have tried both eat in and delivery from this restaurant and I am a happy customer for both instances. Hunan Kitchen of Grand Sichuan is one of few family style restaurants left in downtown Flushing. It is still standing thanks to its outstanding food. The specialty here are authentic Hunan style cuisines, which is known for its signature spicy tastes, sometimes with picked flavor. They also serve some classic Sichuan style cuisines which are more numbing than spicy. The portion size here is quite generous and is perfect for sharing. When I has my delivery order, even though the third party gave an estimate of 55-65 mins, the orders were incredibly fast. It only took like 30 mins including delivery which was pretty amazing. Definitely earned an extra point from me. As for the meal, I found the dishes were quite enjoyable, properly packaged and loaded with good quality fresh ingredients. And my stir fry had a hint of the wok breath as how supposed to be. It felt like eating your grand mother's dishes, everything felt really hearty and homey. If you give it a try, do not miss the Hunan classics such as the steamed fish head with pickled chilies and beef and pepper stir fry.

The food here has always been good to me, it remains affordable post-covid. Prices might have gone up but not too significantly. I've never dined in, I've only ordered take-out and it remains very tasty. I order every now and then, the service has been great. One of the few places nearby that have remained open even during Covid. I would recommend this place if you're looking for a quick bite or want something to take home. They specialize in spicy foods and it's a must try.

Do not order delivery from this place unless you live in Flushing. There's a 2 hour wait time.

Friday night around 10pm we mosied in to HKGS for spicy fare as was served in our past visits. The place never changes...and the service is always excellent. Despite the late hour the place was full...Our stomachs were ready to be filled and we ordered Appys to get started: *Dan Dan Noodles - Always a good choice but not as hot as expected. Had to request large bowl of Hot Chili Oil to add some pow! * Pork Soup Dumplings - Delicious with very tasty broth to be sucked out before devouring! For Mains we re-tried items we had ordered many times before: Cumin Lamb and Mapo Tofu Both dishes looked terrific and we expected a heavy cumin taste on the lamb and a Mala experience with the Tofu. Well...not the case. Every time we have eaten here that was the dirigeur preparation..hot spicy with Sichuan Peppercorns to make your tongue tingle when eating the Mapo Tofu. I questioned the nice manager and she said she saw how much hot oil I was using and that I should have told them I wanted it Mala...didnt understand having to ask this but next visit I will be emphatic that I want spicy and Mala!! We still enjoy this place and will continue to return. The fact that its South of downtown makes parking possible which is a BIG plus!

Amazing food. Casual ambiance. Service very good. We love going there. We have even introduced friends to this great restaurant.

You can get excellent authentic Chinese cuisine at this small but nice restaurant. The "lunch specials " are very inexpensive and delicious. Some dishes are quite spicy so be careful if you don't like spicy. stick to the Hunan style dishes & you will be rewarded with very good food at bargain prices. ( average lunch price is $6 to $7 per dish. Regular menu prices are not expensive & are larger versions of their lunches. Staff are friendly & helpful. located on the less busy end of Main Street where parking is easy & cheap.

Used to be a good and cheap spot before the owners changed. The food quality has gone down and the prices went up. The staff is rude, especially the male receptionist. Would ignore you and be on their phone the whole time. When it's time to pay and you try to pay with a credit card they'd give you an attitude. When I paid with cash the guy grabbed it out of my hands.

Service was excellent! Food was even better. Couldn't ask for more. I enjoyed the whole fish with scallion and ginger and pork soup dumpling. Both were great! I flour for the dumpling was thick for my liking but still delicious. My hubby enjoyed the shredded beef with green peppers and steamed dumpling and I enjoyed all with him as well. I am only posting after pictures because I was too greedy and just wanted to eat everything. We're definitely coming back again!!!!! 1/9/18 We came back again and same god food and customer service. We enjoyed the pork soul dumpling, chicken with red pepper and a shredded beef with green peppers. Stay away from these dishes if you don't enjoy spicy foods. But anything else on the menu should be just as delicious.

Well I am super surprised seeing the 3 stars I give it 5 stars because the food and service was excellent. The food had delicious flavors and the food came out out nice and hot definitely coming back thank you so much !!!!!!

This is probably the most unauthentic Hunan food I ever had in NYC. The traditional dish, pork belly with Hunan peppers, got no pork belly and no hunan pepper. For eggplant and green beans, the eggplant should be well fried first. Not authentic and not delicious. With the same price range, you can just have much better Hunan food in Manhattan. Why bother?

Went here for dinner with a vegetarian friend and had an amazing meal for 3 with tons of leftovers for $60. Good service, nice setting and amazing food! Not far from the 7 train either. If you want a nice-ish (real plates and silverware) place in flushing with easy vegetarian options and great Szechuan/Hunanese food this is the place We got: BBQ Fish with bone out - this came in a massive steamer plate filled with huge chunks of fish, potatoes, and an assortment of vegetables swimming in a delicious oily Szechuan sauce/broth Cumin Pork Ribs - tender ribs covered in dry rub spice mix thick with savory cumin, similar to the Muslim/cumin lamb at Fu Run Ma Po Tofu - this was low key the greatest item, the sauce was exploding with complex flavor and was perfect over a little rice, they were able to make it vegetarian (without the normal pork) for my friend Pumpkin Cakes - Like pumpkin ravioli filling inside a panko crusted tiny cake the size of a mochi, delicious! Sautéed String Beans - which were great but not the best I've ever had

Ordering remorse. Soup dumplings: excellent. Pumpkin cakes and Mao's pork shoulder--each recommended by Sam Sifton in the New York Times in 2011--were disappointing. Pumpkin cakes were mostly fried and sweet; the pork shoulder was incredibly fatty. Very kind service, including taking our reservation for two then holding it 20 minutes past our predicted time. I'll be back with more people and order more and better.

Walked into a dead silence restaurant except for the 4 drunk locals; check. Sat next to Botox Lady with way to much work done; check. Wifey walked into single bathroom were drunk local was passed out; check. Brawl between same drunk local and kitchen staff; CHECK and time to go....... Little did I know that I was going to get a floor show and have some great food at Hunan Kitchen of Grand Sichuan. I will not discuss the "floor show", but it was a 3 act show with the finale on the streets of Main Street Flushing. I am discovering the wonderful world of Main Street Flushing and all the good food it has to offer. It can be very intimidating to walk into a restaurant on Main Street and not be able to communicate with staff, but I have made an effort to go beyond my comfort zone and just do it. Helena H was selected as the ROTD for her review on Hunan Kitchen of Grand Sichun. Since I love spicy food what better option than to support Queen's Restaurants. Yay! Hunan Kitchen of Grand Sichuan has some hot food as mention in many reviews with spice as the name of the game. The chefs, cooks do a good job of mixing and matching various components of spice to provide very different dishes. I have been to various Chinese restaurants were the idea of spice is adding red pepper flakes or sriracha sauce. Not here. The staff uses different peppers, combinations of ingredients and expertise to provide some delicious entrees. Did I say very delicious entrees. Yay! Spicy Double Cooked Pork had to be one of the best pork belly entrees ever. The name does not do it justice. I thought I was going to get some slice pork with some vegetables. Boy was I wrong. The pork belly was slice to about 1/8" thick and just melted in your mouth. The pork was either smoked or cured and it had a wonderful flavor with some saltiness and spice. It was perfectly cooked with the right ratio of fat to meat. The pork belly was stir fried with jalapenos, chilies, garlic and the combination created a wonderful light sauce with a hot spicy flavor. Outstanding! Saute Lamb with Hot Pepper Sauce was also a hit with my wife and I. The lamb was shredded and cooked to perfection. It was not oily and the pepper sauce was at the right heat level that made it enjoyable. I was concern with having lamb at a Chinese Restaurant, but was very happy with the final product. The only draw back was it was prepared with no vegetables and you could look at it as more lamb. The only other ingredients besides lamb and hot dry peppers was shallots and thin julienne carrots; just for garnish. Very nice dish. Yay! As a vegetable dish, we had Bok Choy Saute with Garlic. This was as good as it gets with bok choy. It was chopped to 1/4" squares and cooked to a bright green color. It was a perfect balance with the spicy dishes. Very good and tasty. Yay! Overall, Hunan Kitchen of Grand Sichuan is one very good to excellent restaurant where "Spicy" is the key flavor and/or ingredient. The food speaks for itself and if you love spicy food Hunan Kitchen of Grand Sichuan is the place for you. Service was decent and only a minor hiccup(s) prevented 5 stars. I am sure I will raise this to 5 stars on my next visit. The food and presentation is that good. Delicious and outstanding is Hunan Kitchen of Grand Sichuan.

Food here is pretty good. Not too salty and not greasy. Service is pretty good as well. The seats are a little cramped together. The only dish that I won't recommend was the diced chicken with hot peppers. The flavor was very good but the chicken had too much bone and no meat and it was too dry

I came here last night on a whim with a friend hanging out and having spicy food because they weren't feeling well and i prescribed spicy food!! And so there we went! We walked in from the cold cold Flushing night of like into this nice warm restaurant took our coats off and looked at the menu. I came in needed Mapo Tofu, and string beans. We also wanted the "husband and wife combo" or something like Beef and tripe in spicy sauce (cold appetizer) and then we wanted something meaty and the manager suggested the cumin lamb dish that wasn't spicy. First the beef and tripe came in and it was so freakin' delicious we finished it almost before the other food arrived which was only a few moments later. Mapo Tofu was really good, spicy and flavorful without being overpowering (since we ordered mild spicy) but it was still spicy. I had a feeling that they could really ramp up the spice on us if we went medium or actually spicy. The string beans are always delicious and has always been something i can't seem to replicate at home. So yeah i'd come back since the food is pretty damn good.

A quick stalking session at my Yelp reviews would reveal my latest obsession with Szechuan mala (spicy sauce). I am happy that I found this restaurant after the recommendation of a Youtube subscription. This one's for you Mike! I am no expert at Sichuan or Hunan food, I sure am no judge to the authenticity of the food, but I am a true follower of my own palate. My limited research seem to suggest that Hunan food has a lesser focus on being spicy than Szechuan food, which suggest the milder seasonings in the food served at HKGS. On a weekend night, we finally decided to eat here after having this bookmarked for god knows how long. There were already several tables of diners which is a good indication, we sat down and ordered the spicy fish filet and the pork chop. Large portions, reasonably priced. Service was exceptional considering a local Chinese restaurant. I'm keeping my bookmark, I will be back. Did I also mention that this is a 2 time Michelin-rated restaurant, that alone should have some weight. Considering that this is a genuine regional-Chinese restaurant that was even regarded by the Germans as being good. What are you waiting for?

We wandered into this neighborhood restaurant, specializing in Hunan cuisine, one Monday evening for some warming chili peppers to ward off the cold. Stepping in, Hunan Kitchen had a really nice welcoming feel, very much like the feeling you get when visiting your best friend's grandma. On a Monday night, this place was PACKED! Not only were people squeezed to capacity at every table but every table was also covered inch to inch with food. Definitely a good sign. The waitress came up to me and said "give me a few minutes, a table is leaving" then asked me if I wanted fish head. My deer-in-headlights look informed her that I was a novice, wherefore she swept away to busy herself among the crowd. Looking around, indeed almost every table had either a plate of fish head covered in red chili peppers or a casserole of fish head soup. Being only 2 people we made the call to save the fish head for another visit and instead opted for Hunan style fried rice, pickled mustard and fish fillet soup, and spareribs steamed in a bamboo stalk. The fried rice was interesting and was stir fried with pickled yardlong beans and pork belly. The soup was not spicy, which is the version I am more familiar with, but had a nice salty, vinegary taste which is a comfort taste for me. The spareribs while falling off the bone was a tad bit salty for me. Overall, Hunan Kitchen has a nice, lively feel to it although it is probably more suited for larger groups and the servers leave you alone to eat but are at your attention when you wave a hand. We will likely return to give the fish head a try...and maybe even try this giant (big enough to fit twin babies and their rubber duckies) pot of soup that the table behind us were eating.

This is a hole in the wall place for sure. Located on the quieter section of main, you might just miss it. You definitely get an authentic feel when you walk into this restaurant. You didn't come here for the atmosphere or the service, not that the service was bad in any way. The lamb with cumin was so tender, and I love the addition of the cilantro tips.

This place is such a gem in this Flushing neighborhood! The food is quite amazing and I was not disappointed. The place is kind of small, not a lot of decoration, but don't let the appearance fool you; this restaurant can really pump out some amazing dishes!! I came here on a Monday evening, around 6:30PM with my boyfriend. The place was very quiet then and there weren't many customers at all. By the time we left, it started to pick up and got a little busier. When we first came in, we were given a plate of these peanuts, I'm not sure what they were cooked in but it was salty and spicy; it was interesting, but definitely not my thing. The menu that they handed us was quite overwhelming, there were so many options to choose from! It took us a long time to figure out what we want. Also, their dishes are mostly spicy dishes (it's the Hunan style), but to be quite honest when I tasted the food, I didn't think that they were that bad; even my boyfriend who is not much of a spicy eater though it was not spicy, so don't be afraid to pick that choice with the chili pepper next to it LOL Service was also extremely quick! I literally got my Braised Pork within less than 10 minutes! The Pork ribs took a little longer to make but we did not have to wait a crazy amount of time. 1) #54. Garlic and Cumin Pork ribs ($14.95)- SO SO delicious! I wish we were given more. The ribs were covered in lots and lots of garlic with chopped chilies. The rub on the ribs were absolutely amazing! You'd think that the excessive amount of garlic would be too much but I was pleasantly surprised when I dove into it. Also don't worry about lack of meat, there was a good amount of meat on the bone so you won't feel cheated. It is a messy dish though, you definitely have to eat with your fingers. 2) #56. braised Pork, Mao's style ($13.95) - I love simple dishes that is packed full of flavors, and I am happy to say this is one of them. The cut of meat was basically just pork belly, there were many pieces with lots of fat on them, so if that's not your thing, don't order this dish. The meat was just cooked perfectly, literally melt in your mouth! And the sauce that they cook it with just ties everything together. When we were done with our food, we were given complimentary orange slices and some hot towels for our hands because eating the Pork Ribs was quite messy. Overall, we had such a great experience here and I cannot wait to try more dishes from this place!

As a native Chinese, I found this name is a little odd. It combined two cuisine (Hunan and Sichuan, which are far away physically, but share some similarity, especially its spicyness). It's Chinese name literally means the taste of hometown. Anyway, I think the food is authentic, which is more important. it's a small place, but offers very good service and waiters are very attentive. We ordered a few things over the past few times dining them. I recommended their BBQ fish if you like spicy. It's a whole fished cooked BBQed and cooked in a spicy sauce w a lot of diced veggie. I can be a little oilly, but ifMost of its other dishes are good, spicy or non-spicy, meat or veggie.

If you are looking for a different type of cuisine during brunch time, I'd say give Hunan food a try. I was surprisingly impressed that the food wasn't too spicy, but quite flavorful. We had dan dan noodles, pork soup dumplings, pumpkin pancakes and the lamb in cumin. Everything was good. I'd give this place a try as the weather gets colder - they have clay pot dishes and bamboo filled with fried rice.

Visiting from LA, where we can get good authentic Chinese food, Hunan kitchen was exactly what I was hoping it would be. They're open late, the prices are good for the amount food you get, and goddamn the flavor is amazing! 2 recommendations come from the Strictly Dumpling YouTube channel- Sauteed Shredded Beef and Sauteed Mixed Preserved Meat. Both were amazing, but the Shredded Beef had to be in my top 10 of Chinese dishes I've ever had. If you're in Flushing and have a craving for some spicy food, this spot won't steer you wrong.

The food, service and ambiance here were all amazing! I came here with a group of my friends for dinner and we shared many dishes, including the cucumber with scallion sauce, cumin lamb, steamed fish with chopped pepper, sautéed eggplant, sizzling beef, triple bamboos, sautéed pea shoots, soup dumplings and rice. All the dishes were incredibly delicious and I can not wait to return! Our server was very friendly and attentive. The establishment's dedication to quality and cuisine can also be seen in the inviting, appetizing decor. I highly recommend this restaurant for a delectably great time!

I should take a look at the comments. The food in this shop is not clean and unpalatable. It also charges an extra high tip. I really am stupid enough to have about 100 pieces of junk food. Eat, not fresh

This is not really the Grand Sichuan anymore. Since the owner change last year, the quality dropped SO BADLY. They've definitely let the old chefs go. Simple stir-fries are just mush now. I'm so sad such an institution is no more...

Love this place. Low key, excellent food. Home style cooking. Service is great, no frills but food cannot be beat! Love Dan Dan noodles. Sliced pork with bamboo shoots, chicken with hot red peppers, spicy double cooked pork. All is amazing.

This place is so good! The food is very authentic! I saw people leaving review with 2 stars but they might expect something else they should not. Anyway definitely check this place out when you are in the hood. Written by a girl who moved here 3 years ago from Northern part of Chinab

I've ordered from Hunan a handful of times because Eat24 gives weekly $2 off coupons (I see you, Yelp). I've only ever ordered for pickup, so I'll just review the dishes I've loved and hated. The good ol' General Tso. $4.95. Yeah. $4.95. And it's cleaner and tastes better than your average takeout joint, which makes this a favorite of mine. They don't seem to have a fried rice option, but there's nothing wrong with white rice. The double cooked pork. Nope. Noooooooope. Huge bites of anise just ruin everything. Sesame beef. You know what happens when you essentially deep fry beef the way sesame chicken is deep fried? Nothing good. Slimy, gooey, something you never want to order. Cashier and staff are always pleasant and food prep time and absurdly fast.

Never had an issue from this place. I recently returned after a long hiatus and got very ill the next day from a case of obvious food poisoning. Guess I will take this place off the list

If you are craving spicy Chinese food Hunan is the way to go. I have dined in on several occasions and have ordered delivery. They are priced right and the food is flavorful and served (or delivered) fast! My favorite dishes to order Kung Pao Chicken Ma Po Tofu w. Minced Pork Orange Beef Shredded Beef w. Spicy Green Peppers Sautéed and Dry String Bean

I'm really impressed! If you order authentic Sichuan, Chongqing, or Hunan dishes you'll be pretty happy. Came as a party of four around eight on a Saturday, and the restaurant wasn't completely full so it was easy to get a table right away. Service was actually pretty nice, which is a change from most authentic Chinese places. The cold spicy chicken app was my friends' favorite while I really loved the cold spicy rabbit ("sister's rabbit"). The bones in the rabbit was too much for some people, but I was delighted they had this hard to find dish. There was plenty of rabbit meat, and it was very well seasoned and balanced in flavor. They also have minced pork with sour pickled long string beans, another dish that's hard to find. Delicious, with a strong yet almost wine mellowed pickled flavor. You have to try this! The pea shoots were very fresh and a generous portion. Minor quibbles- the soup dumplings are fine, but I wish they were a little smaller so they'd fit in the spoon for easy soup sipping. The chongqing spicy fried chicken with hot red peppers is a standard I get all the time and this was my least favorite iteration. There was a light sauce on it that I've never seen before and took away from the delicious crispness I usually associate with the dish.

Bottom line: nice bold flavors, but somehow missed on the signature dish. Came here after work with a group of colleagues. We ordered a few staples like Kong Pao Chicken, string beans, mapo tofu, and the signature steamed fish. Most dishes are nice, spicy and authentic. I would advise that this is probably not the ideal restaurant if you are not a fan of spicy food. The chef uses fairly authentic spices like Chinese red chili, cumin, and things of that nature to bring out a nice flavor for the dishes. However we were not a big fan of the fish. The taste didn't marinate into the flesh as well as we would have liked, and you end up taking a bite of the fish and a sip of the hot broth to get the full flavor. Overall the flavor profile of this dish was a bit on the light side (needed more seasoning, salt, etc.) It is a decent choice for spicy Chinese in Flushing but not as good as some of the better options in Manhattan like Cafe China.

I'd recommend this restaurant for those who aren't shy about the generous application of cumin and chili, the numbing sensation of Szechuan peppercorns, and heaps of raw cilantro. The food here is a far cry from the things labeled "Hunan" in your standard Americanized Chinese restaurant, and I could think of no better place to educate yourself on the cuisine of the region. Compared to other restaurants in Flushing, the staff speaks English and can provide direction with the menu--this is especially helpful since some translated text is not completely accurate. Example: There is a section titled, "Chinese Dishes" which turns out, ironically, to not be Chinese dishes in the "authentic" sense (they are, instead, the dishes found in your standard Chinese-American takeout place). Most dishes can also be made without meat by request (such as the mapo tofu and eggplant casserole), so speak up if you're a vegetarian. Below are some of my top picks from the restaurant: * Pickled Cabbage, Hunan Style - Essentially a Chinese version of cole slaw; simple, crisp, and dressed lightly in rice vinegar and fresh chopped chili. The rest of your meal will likely be so packed with flavor and heat that this serves as a nice accompaniment to cut the heaviness. * Pumpkin Cakes - These fried, panko-crusted morsels remind me very much of Japanese-style croquettes, but made from mashed, slightly sweet pumpkin rather than potato. Very filling. * Fish Filet w/ Hot Chili Pepper - For diners eating alone, this dish offers a little bit of everything for a balanced meal: tender, boneless fish coated in a thick sauce of cumin, Szechuan peppercorns, and chili, served over stalks of steamed baby bok choy. * Hunan Spiced Crab - These medium-sized crabs are stir-fried in a dry sauce of sliced green chili and that irresistible combination of cumin and Szechuan peppercorns (if the formula's not broke, don't fix it?). No worries about picking out scraps of meat if you struggle with eating crab; the shells are fried so thoroughly that you could eat them like chips. * Eggplant & Minced Pork in Casserole - Eggplants are lightly battered and fried before being tossed in a slightly sweet, slightly sour, and abundantly garlic-y sauce. The casserole comes intensely hot off the fire, with the sauce still bubbling as it arrives at the table.
