While I'm a *very* weak spice eater, I've grown to love Xiang's Hunan Kitchen, which serves delicious and authentic Hunan dishes. Lots of options, great portion sizes, reasonable prices, and easy to get to (right on the green line, plus plenty of parking spots around).
My favorites so far:
[M7 - Sweet Sticky Rice Cakes] Dessert for appetizers, yes! Warm, sweet, and sticky, super tasty!
[C5 - Stewed Tofu with Duck Yolk & Pork Floss] For non-spicy and spicy eaters alike, this is hands down everyone's favorite dish every time I go! The savory duck yolk and slightly pork floss add both flavor and texture to stewed tofu that has a texture that's almost cheesy.
[S1 - Steamed belly with Preserved Veggies] A salty-sweet and slightly spicy dish that goes really well with rice as well as the steamed buns that you can order for a small additional fee. Make your own pork bao!
[S4/S5 - Steamed fish with Chilies] They are two versions of the most classic Xiang dish. If you like fish filet, order S4; if you can handle a whole fish and can deal with fish bones, order S5 which gives you larger portion and IMO more flavorful.
Spicy Xiang food might not be for everyone, but if you are tired of Szechuan food, come try Xiang's Hunan Kitchen instead! -

Authentic Hunan's dishes.
They serve fair potions with reasonable prices.
This is the Hunan restaurant I always visit. Don't go to Sumiao Hunan restaurant which serves pricy, small portion, flavorless courses and holds a snobby attitude. -

Curiosity of authentic Hunan cuisine. Not my cup of tea.
Generous portions given. As for flavor, The dishes were too salty for my taste buds.
The service was friendly but subpar. Reactive instead of proactive. -

I had the street fried rice and it was okay... The service was okay, the waiters made me wait for a bit and if they were more proactive, it'd be nice.

We have one regret: the fish filets were unremarkable and we wish we'd gotten the whole fish instead. But the vegetables were outstanding and we followed another reviewer's tip to get the hiu special cake and did not regret it! And the milk tea is awesome. Will definitely come back.
