The old and popular Hunan restaurant located on Changshou Road is located on the second floor of a hotel, and you need to enter it from the elevator. From the outside, you can only see the signboard of "Hunan Taste", which is low-key and inconspicuous, and it is difficult for unfamiliar people to find that there is an authentic Hunan restaurant. After stepping into the second floor, I realized that good wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and almost every table is full of guests at the time of the meal. It can be seen that the service staff are busy and skillful in leading, serving, and cleaning up, which has the unique charm of a small Hunan restaurant.
The owners of the restaurant are a couple from Hunan, who are warm and casual. They are confident in their own dishes and are eager to recommend them to diners. Boiled live fish is delicious, heated and kept warm. Take a sip of the original hot soup and taste the smooth fish, which is warm and nutritious. The addition of green chili pepper will be slightly spicy, which just removes the fishy smell of boiled fish and enhances the flavor of the fish. The star cold dish with chili preserved eggs is impressive, challenging the taste buds of out-of-town diners both in terms of smell and taste. After being served, it is mashed by the waiter in front of the table, although the face is not beautiful, but the fragrance that comes to the nose is peculiar and rich. I can't help but taste it, and the whole mouth is filled with the aroma of the fusion of preserved egg pepper and garlic, which is very appetizing. The spicy duck head is used as a snack dish that is the most loved by Hunan villagers, spicy and crispy, and very gnawy.
The restaurant is open until two o'clock in the evening, and it is one of the few Hunan restaurants in Shanghai that has a night market. The dishes are rich and diverse, with more seafood dishes and high cost performance, which is the choice of many office workers. However, it should be noted that there are fewer options for dishes that arrive late, and several popular dishes are all served, and the experience is not good. The restaurant has two private rooms and supports reservations. Retro ornaments such as sewing machines and vintage televisions are furnished, and graffiti on the walls is colorful and bold. The waiters are dressed in hip-hop costumes and wear peaked caps, which contrasts with the local style of Hunan cuisine, which is very interesting. Unfortunately, the exhaust of the restaurant is not good, you can smell a slight smell of oily smoke, and the smell of the toilet is heavy, which is not clean and tidy enough, which has a slight impact on the dining experience.
