Spicy Hunan cuisine, famous eggplant dish, bring your own seafood
"This Scripps Ranch establishment offers a wide range of traditional Hunan specialties, along with comfort food favorites like shrimp fried rice. The fish fillet with pickled vegetables topped with sliced hot peppers and scallions along with the minced pork and pickled string beans are popular. Another must-order item is the marinated lamb with cumin, served on a sizzling iron plate to keep the meat piping hot and crispy." - Helen I. Hwang
"Taste of Hunan is contributing to Mira Mesa's growing reputation as a dining neighborhood." - Candice Woo
"The spacious eatery features the food of Hunan, a province in Southeast China known for its spicy and pungent cuisine that uses ingredients ranging from fresh, dried, and pickled chilies to smoked and cured meat and preserved vegetables. Its chef and owner is reportedly an alum of Village Kitchen, another Hunanese restaurant that debuted in 2016 on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard. He was responsible for introducing one of Village Kitchen’s signature dishes, a combo of mashed eggplant, peppers, and “thousand-year egg” served in an oversized mortar and pestle; the savory dish can be found on Taste of Hunan’s menu too along with buns stuffed with pork belly and preserved vegetables, Hunan-style lotus root, stir-fried chicken with pickled chilies, and more. Diners can also bring in their own fresh seafood, including shrimp and scallops, for the kitchen to prepare in a variety of ways; a whole fish can be steamed, braised, sliced raw for sashimi, or cooked with a spicy mix of chilies." - Candice Woo
