HunanFlavor Notes

Hunan is a London institution β€” a no-menu restaurant where the chef sends out dish after dish until you surrender. The experience is unique: you sit down, mention any allergies or preferences, and the food just starts coming. The spice levels are calibrated to your tolerance, and the dishes range from delicate steamed fish to fiery dry-wok creations. It's expensive, but it's the closest thing to a Hunan banquet outside of Changsha.
