Description

Summary: A spicy, noisy Hunan haven.

Hunan Slurp in the East Village is a sizzling hotspot for those who dare to indulge in fiery Hunan cuisine. The sleek, modern décor creates a vibrant atmosphere that matches the intensity of the dishes. However, the noise level can skyrocket, mirroring the bold flavors on your plate. The restaurant's specialties, such as the mifens (Hunan rice noodles), deliver a punch of umami and heat, often requiring a soothing drink to quell the spice. For those with a milder palate, don't hesitate to ask for a toned-down version to fully appreciate the blend of flavors. The organic cucumber smashed salad is a standout for its refreshing taste and artful presentation. Hunan Slurp's seasonal specials boast an array of seafood and tofu, offering something new with each visit. The sweet soup dessert provides a gentle respite from the heat. While the wine and beer selections are limited, diners are welcome to bring their own bottle for a corkage fee. For an immersive experience, try to snag a seat with a view of the open kitchen, where the culinary team works its magic with an impressive array of sauces.
