The szechuan beef was way too dry and the other dishes

2/5 by 👻 @Matthew P. on 03/20/2023

The szechuan beef was way too dry and the other dishes weren't that great either. I liked that the beers were only $5.

My standards for American Chinese food and non American

3/5 by 👻 @Kim X. on 03/12/2023

My standards for American Chinese food and non American Chinese food are very different. Unfortunately, given its name, I was expecting some super delicious authentic Chinese food!I got the crispy shrimp which wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing for almost 22 dollars. The Hunan beef tasted very Americanized. I should've read the menu more carefully as I'm not really a huge fan of water chestnuts. I would order from here again but with a different mindset. This was more a 3.5 than a 3!

🤮

This was the worst general tsao chicken I've ever had.

1/5 by 👻 @Cheri T. on 02/09/2023

it was more of a sweet-and-sour than a spicy sauce Sauce looks like that duck sauce that you buy from the grocery store Chicken was tough Best part about this entire meal was the Brown rice recommend never

😒

I went to this Hunan restaurant with one of my usual groups

3/5 by 👻 @Glenn C. on 02/01/2023

I went to this Hunan restaurant with one of my usual groups though with a different host than usual. Hunan food tends to have a sour heat to it and the rather expansive menu here appears to also include some American Chinese dishes and some of the poor reviews are regarding them so perhaps go there for Hunan food. He hadn't been here in a while and this was one of the spots he hosted. We spent maybe around 30 or 35 bucks a person or something similar for a good amount of food.We started with the Scallion Pancakes. They were alright. Could have been a bit crispier but it was OK. We also had the Ox Tongue and Tripe with Spicy Peppery Sauce or more directly translated as husband and wife slices which is one of the cheekier Chinese dish names. The sauce had a good amount of mala and I liked the texture of the offal so I would recommend it. My favorite of the smaller dishes was the Green Pepper With Preserved Egg also known as smashed chilies with century egg. I personally like century eggs a lot and it went quite well with the crunchy pepper and I'm happy that this place unlike some of the newer fancy Hunan places doesn't expect people to mash them up together themselves (even if it is fun.)One of the first main dishes that arrived was the Jumbo Shrimp With Spicy Garlic Sauce. This was one of the better main dishes with pretty tender tasty shrimp though the sauce could have been a bit more flavorful. Mao's Red Braised Pork Belly was a solid version. Nicely tender pork and properly cooked down though I had definitely preferred other versions more as though I did like that the pieces were on the smaller end which made it very easy to split it. The Sauteed Lamb With Red Pepper and Cilantro was also just alright. The lamb was a bit gummy though the sour sauce definitely helped with the off texture. The Beef With Pickled Cabbage was also pretty good. The chili sauce as with the other Hunan dishes had a good little sourness to it but yet again the protein wasn't the best. Of the dishes, the weakest ones were the vegetarian ones which was surprising based on the best appetizer. The Hunan Cauliflower was bland compared to many of the other Hunan or Sichuan spots lacking texture also. The Steamed Eggplant With Salted Egg Yolk was well terrible. It wasn't properly cooked with the mixture basically falling off of the eggplant leaning it to be a salty mess which was also just not well flavored.The Hunan food here was alright. Portion sizes were plenty big but there's definitely better places for Hunan food or food from similar regions in the city. Particularly good appetizers of all things but the main dishes needed work (especially the proteins which tasted cheap or poor quality in many cases.) I do wish we got a preserved pork dish to compare also.

😍

First time ever trying this place.

5/5 by 👻 @Robinson V. on 01/22/2023

The service was SUPER FAST! I tried the pork dumpling with chili sauce and the vegetable egg roll, and they were both delicious. I asked for the chili sauce on the side just in case it was too spicy but it was just right. They're not shaped like your traditional dumpling which was a nice surprise. I'm sure they make their dough in house for their dumplings because they tasted very fresh. They had the perfect amount of filling and had some fresh scallions on top. The rolls were so perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. It came with a duck sauce on the side too. It was very nice inside too. The music they had was at a perfect level and the workers aren't coming to your table every minute or two. 100% recommend this place. Will be coming back soon.

🤮

Food looked great when I received it.

1/5 by 👻 @Ellie J. on 01/14/2023

Soon found two pieces of clear plastic, should have stopped eating it. I ended up having stomachache. I ordered from them several times. It's sad that happened...

🙂

Most of my experience of this place has been takeout.

4/5 by 👻 @Joel P. on 01/13/2023

I usually order the mapo tofu, bamboo pork, and hunan fried rice. The hunan fried rice is delicious. Unlike any fried rice I've had from other restaurants. It has a bold and smokey flavor while the red peppers give it plenty of heat. Sometimes I'll pick out the peppers because it can be a bit much. You can ask them to make it less spicey and they accommodate. In contrast, I've ordered the same exact order from Mee Noodle on 1st Ave, and it was a big disappointment. The only thing I liked better from Mee Noodle is their lo mein and their dumplings. I live about 1.5-2 miles from this place, and they deliver fast. I never waited more than 30 minutes from the time I order until the time I receive the food.

You have to try their signature dish, the chili fish head

You have to try their signature dish, the chili fish head was amazingly flavorful and tender, honestly a lot more decadent than I was expecting.

1/5 by 👻 @Wenjing S. on 12/30/2022

We were the only people eating in the restaurant at the time. Should have realized that it was a red flag. Food is EXTREMELY SALTY!!! The ingredients used is not fresh. I ordered the beef in the picture and the texture is extremely weird. I asked the waiter which part of beef it is. He said he doesn't know. The dish has funky taste. Do not recommend this restaurant.

🙂

Great, tasty food.

4/5 by 👻 @Nandita K. on 10/31/2022

Ordered takeout and the delivery was super quick...within 10 mins of placing the order I had received the food!! The lo mein with vegetables was tasty- it had some sauce and wasn't dry and it actually had vegetables besides broccoli and onions. The sesame chicken was great too- the chicken was juicy on the inside and fried perfectly, the sauce was tasty and had a little kick to it. The portion sizes were plentiful and the food was tasty. Great neighborhood spot for when you get a hankering for some Chinese food!

5/5 by 👻 @Joanne L. on 10/07/2022

I think I like this place a little too much but it just hits the spot when you need takeout Chinese food! They have been consistently tasty and really affordable, especially with their lunch specials. I usually get the shredded pork with bamboo shoots. The pork lo mein is great as well. The dishes can be a bit oily it's part of the Americanized Chinese food experience for me. The hostess in the front is really nice and overall results in a pleasant experience.

Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

Question by 🦩 @FluffyStar64 (07/09/2021 8:10 pm)

Best Answer It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Working on your bid?

Question by 👻 @DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 4:24 pm)

Best Answer Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Process after bid is accepted.

Question by 👻 @EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 11:11 pm)

Best Answer Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.

Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?

Question by 🥷🏻 @ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 6:55 pm)

Best Answer Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

What happens if my bid expires unanswered?

Question by 🦩 @FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 8:55 pm)

Best Answer Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
