Hunan Cafe 湘水山庄

I absolutely loved this restaurant! It was clean, tidy, and stylishly decorated. I loved every single dish. I asked the owner if it was suitable for large gatherings, and he showed me a private room that could seat 18 people – that was fantastic!

This was my first time visiting after their recent renovation. The dishes here are authentic Hunan cuisine, with a strong focus on spicy and bold flavors. Everything pairs incredibly well with rice, and my personal favorite goes to the crayfish and frog in chili sauce. The portion size was absolutely huge. Lastly, I just want to mention that the staffs working there were also very patient in introducing their specialty dishes to us. I highly recommend everyone to come here for some hot and spicy Hunan dishes!

The dishes are fresh, flavorful, and have just the right level of spice. Service is fast, portions are generous, and the menu has many standout dishes. Definitely worth trying if you love bold, comforting Hunan cuisine.”

It was my first time at Xiang Shui Shanzhuang, and as someone who doesn’t eat spicy food, I wasn’t sure what to expect—but I loved it! The staff was very helpful and recommended several non-spicy options that were incredibly tasty. The stone pot fish, Mao’s braised pork, and salt & pepper shrimp were all delicious. The restaurant feels authentic, the portions are generous, and the service is great. Perfect spot for anyone wanting to try Hunan cuisine, even if you can’t handle spice!

The renovated interior design and furniture are supreme. The waiters are stellar with great service and attention. The food was good. The chef was spectacular especially the king crab was amazing. The only thing that ruined the whole experience was when I was paying the $456 bill, the cashier girl was so rude -rolling her eyes and ignoring my question about payment status.
