Service and food were wonderful. Ordered 5 dishes and each had a unique taste with good spice and not too salty. I also had an ice tea and it was never empty. Our server refilled it three times without my asking. I had a Kung Pao chicken, a fermented bean and gizzards, eggplant and green beans, stir fried clams and a simple potato with a vinegar. Everything was very good. I'm saving this for future visits to the Houston area. Of the three restaurants we have visited so far, this was by far the best!

On our recent family trip we stumbled on this little hidden gem .Food was amazing every item we ordered was so tasty. The staff is really attentive and nice. We were greeted immediately and seated shortly even tho they where extremely busy. We will be definitely be coming back next time we in the bellaire Chinatown area.

This is the spot!! This restaurant is me and my husband's must go whenever we're in town by Bellaire. I haven't had authentic tasting Hunan food since I lived in New York City maybe? I am Chinese, and my mom is from Hunan, so I'm going to put y'all on some game :) Have to try: Lamb Cumin 孜然羊肉 This is a traditional dish consisting of deliciously savory lamb, in bite size slices, cooked with bold cumin, cilantro, chilis, garlic and onion. The meat is fragrant, buttery with a bit of crispness and perfect amount of heat. Popular amongst Muslim community in China. This is a staple in our order. Twice cooked pork with leeks 蒜苗回锅肉 I like to call this dish, "Chinese bacon." It's seared pork belly in chili oil with leeks. This is the milder version. The spicy version of this dish, which I prefer is twice cooked pork (Hunan style） 箱辣回锅肉。Which is the same dish but with more heat from chili peppers. The pork is decadently flavorful and the fat melts in your mouth. The leeks are pleasantly crisp and add an interesting texture profile. Salt and Pepper Shrimp 椒盐虾 Nearly anyone can like this dish. These are fried whole shrimps. (And yes, you can eat the entire shrimp!) They're a bit starchy and salty with some spice from peppers and chilis, some crisp onions and scallion decor. I love shrimps so this is a favourite! We also had some shrimp fried rice and egg rolls. There are more traditional dishes on this menu I have tried before. The inside is like an average Chinese restaurant; utilitarian but clean and casual. The service is good, I may be biased because I speak Chinese. I understand the aunties here don't speak very good English but the food is worth the challenge for foreigners! Really, don't overlook this place next time you're in Dun Huang Plaza!

Small restaurant tucked away in a busy strip mall located in china town. Very easy to overlook, but so glad I ended up trying this place. My family and I love to get Chinese/Szechuan. We've dined in here a few times if we are in the area but I usually will just order it for takeout. Their spicy napa cabbage and szechuan boiled fish are 2 of our go to's. Plenty of other dishes that are flavorful and great.

Spicy Hunan is located in a strip mall in Asia Town. Parking was a bit chaotic but we eventually found space in the parking garage. Now Spicy Hunan isn't a place you go to if you want to be wined and dined. The service is what I would expect from an authentic Chinese restaurant. It's a good sign that the food is going to be banging. For instance, our table was dirty so the waitress gave me a napkin wipe it down. That being said, we were given menus right away and no one was ever rude. You just have to ask for things like water, or the bill. They did pack up my food, were very cute with my baby, and there was plenty of room for my stroller. I also left my phone and they kept it for me until the next day. The inside reminded me of the 1990's (another sign that the food is going to be good. I'm not looking for instagram chic). The food itself was very flavorful. The chicken dish was very peppery and the spices came through. My favorite dish was the short ribs (they were actually very very short). It was both sweet and salty. The only draw back was that some pieces were more bone than meat. This was a dish that tasted even better the second day. Somehow way better and it was already fire to begin with. I legit could not stop eating and left Spicy Hunan feeling filthy full with the plus side of also having a ton of left overs. Nice place to get some food for meal prepping. Food - 5 Service- 3 Baby friendly - 4.5 ( they have high chairs, not sure about changing room) Spicy Hunan might become one of my staple spots.

The dishes taste fine. Pretty busy for weekend lunch. The environment is good and service is fair. Will recommend to other people.

Excellent hidden gem very interesting menu we really enjoyed the lamb with cumin with cilantro

A classic old time Chinatown restaurant feel. No millennial or gen x ambiance; you come here for the food. Located in the plaza, parking is available in the surface lots and parking garages. Ordered a bunch of dishes and most were solid. Sweet and sour eggplant, lamb and scallion were cooked well. The fish was a bit mediocre but overall, their menu offers a ton of options and it's a feel of what dining in Chinatown was like 20 years ago.

Three of us came in on a whim based on the good Yelp reviews and ordered the eggplant, fish + Napa cabbage, and then the diced spicy fried chicken dish that we saw someone posted on Yelp and the waitress said "just 3?" So we allowed her to pick one more dish for us as long as picked the main ingredient. We selected beef, so she offered the stir fry beef. The beef came out first. I ate a small piece of jalapeno, no seeds and holy moly it was spicy. The place is called SPICY Hunan, so I was in fear for the rest of the meal. The rest of the meal was actually pretty tame. Interestingly between the three of us, we all had our different picks on which dish was our favorite and we all picked the 4 dishes (one of us picked two). My personal fave was the fried chicken... Usually I don't like Szechaun dishes because the spice makes my mouth go numb but this one was very tolerable. My cousin prefers the mouth-numbing effect, however. Nonetheless, we were happy with all of our entrees and don't mind coming back to try others, or even have the same ones again. (I actually am craving the fried chicken dish again right now.) By the way, I think 3 dishes would've been plenty (1 dish per person). We killed two and the other two remaining dishes were plenty for probably to pack for two lunches.
