Description
Midweek lunches often see this compact space packed with Columbia University students. While the kitchen excels at regional dishes like shredded beef, pork belly, and crispy chicken, regulars advise sticking to traditional Hunan flavors and skipping American-Chinese standards like General Tso's. The staff welcomes diners by serving tea automatically upon arrival.
