"Di Shui Dong: a Hunan Institution Rustic charm and good home-style cooking are what come to mind when you eat at Di Shui Dong. The Hunan eatery is always packed, a testament to how good their grub really is. If you're unfamiliar with Hunan cuisine, it's the spicy cousin of Sichuan's fiery fare, but they use a more standard and tongue-friendly chili, meaning you get the kick without the mouth-numbing experience of Sichuan's infamous peppercorns. Don't leave without trying the cumin-rubbed ribs and the fish-head steamed with chili. By AFAR Traveler , AFAR Local Expert"

I ate here in 2005 and it was amazing. I saved the napkin way back then and just found it in the attic while cleaning up. I’ve wondered for years what the restaurant was and finding the napkin I was finally able to find it again through google maps. I’m so excited to return someday! It’s really good.

Great food, not expensive, good service. Need to book as it's popular.
Menu is easy to navigate - it's in English & has pictures.
You've got to have the banana toffee fritters! The bacon and beans is also top stuff! Beware though - it's Hunanese food which is quite spicy.
