Hunan Cuisine

Hunan Cuisine at 45 Beach Street brings the cooking of Hunan to Boston’s Chinatown. The menu includes cumin beef and lamb, Changsha-style pork with green peppers, and preserved pork cooked with dried radish or bamboo shoots. Many dishes are marked spicy, so read the menu’s heat labels when ordering for a mixed group.

There are also dishes without a spicy label, including Chairman Mao’s braised pork and chicken with broccoli. For a shared order, consider a dry pot, a fish dish and vegetables alongside rice. Smaller plates include cucumber salad, steamed shrimp dumplings and scallion pancakes. Online pickup ordering is available through the restaurant’s website.
