Xiang's Hunan Kitchen Tiān Tiān Xiāng Shàng

Probably the most authentic Hunan restaurant I?ve been to in the US! The menu is full of common Hunanese dishes that are usually difficult to find, and I was impressed by the quality and flavor of almost everything we ordered. The ????(pork belly with preserved vegetables) was perfectly fatty and seasoned without being too greasy. They even have rice shaomai (vs the typical meat-filled ones you see in dim sum). The crawfish is probably the only dish I wouldn?t reorder again,it felt a little overcooked and flavor of the crawfish meat wasn?t as fresh or yummy as I hoped. The restaurant has seating on two levels and was not too busy on a summer Friday evening.

We got the fish with pickled vegetables, pork legs, and mapo tofu. The fish was amazing! Loved the pork legs as well, mapo tofu was okay overall great food!

I was raised in Changsha so I've been searching for an authentic Hunan restaurant for years and years in both New York and Boston, and I have to say this restaurant is the real deal. They had a great selection of Hunan dishes and a lot of things I've never seen anywhere else in the States. Of the food we ordered, the eggplant with pi dan, the la rou, and the lotus root were all standouts. The flavors were great and really brought me back to Changsha. Can't speak for someof the things on the menu that other reviewers are saying weren't good but would recommend ordering more Hunan specialty dishes at this place. The service wasn't bad for us either- they served our table of 4 pretty quickly and food didn'ttake long either. Overall would definitely come back and would highly recommend!!

I?ve been a loyal customer and loved their food but $28.95 Xiang?s beef in golden soup with 2/3 filled with rice noodles delivery is not acceptable. We are all affected by inflation I worked hard to pay and enjoy my meal and this is what you made?

Ok, I read the other reviews and it seems this place at times is either hit or miss, like a rollercoaster. However, for our experience, the food was great and so was the service. Every dish we ordered hit the spot, the portions were enough, and it wasn?t that unreasonably expensive (We were hungry). I always give 4 stars and add the last star only if the place has something more to offer. I think they deserve it with the tasty food and good service. The table was clean too.
