Master Critic Review
China Xiang
7.6
A Hunan-leaning neighborhood spot that’s more low-key than its Times Square neighbors, with a menu spanning smoked pork, sour-spicy vegetables, and regional stir-fries. It’s best for no-frills comfort and dependable lunch specials. Medium review volume and mixed sentiment keep it at the lower end of the ‘best of’ cut.
Must-Try Dishes:
Hunan Smoked Pork, Sour String Beans, Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings
