Before you head over

Practical tips on finding the shop, grazing while you wait, and balancing Hunan heat

  • Locate inside Mid City Centre

    The restaurant is tucked away inside the Mid City Centre arcade along Bourke Street, so navigate inside the shopping complex rather than searching for direct street-facing signage.

  • Visit the free side dish bar

    Take advantage of the self-serve pickle station while your food is prepared; it offers unlimited complimentary snacks including pickled cabbage, peanuts, and crunchy yellow peas.

  • Order extra rice for rich stir-fries

    Signature Hunan stir-fries are intensely seasoned and spicy \"rice thieves\"—plan to order extra bowls of rice to pair with the rich, smoky sauces.
