"Sumiao Chen had a midcareer epiphany that a life in pharmaceuticals wasn’t right for her. Longing for the food of her childhood in Hunan, China, Ms. Chen opened her namesake restaurant in 2017 near the M.I.T. campus, one that resembles no other Chinese spot around town. From the outside looking in, you might think a place with this vibey coastal aesthetic would serve crab cakes and flatbread, but the restaurant’s adherence to traditional Hunanese cooking is without compromise. When a dish is noted as spicy, you’d better believe it — even a salad as innocuous-sounding as green pepper and century egg sneaks up quickly. Those unaccustomed to the slippery texture of fat might flinch at the sheer amount in the red-braised pork belly, but this classic sweet-savory dish of Hunan warms and satisfies like few others."

"so good, shareable portion sizes and great flavor. dishes are somewhat expensive though, cocktails are just alright, and the 'authentic spicy' wasn't that spicy at all. would go back to try different dishes"

"Un restaurant qui ravira les amateurs de nourriture chinoise. Le menu propose un vaste choix de spécialités de la cuisine du Hunan, province du sud-est de la Chine. Au milieu des nouilles et du riz servis avec du boeuf, du porc ou du poisson et agrémentés d'herbes et de piments qui relèvent le tout, on retrouve des ingrédients qui surprennent le palais comme le bambou, le lotus et la sauce à l'huître. Les plats sont relevés et colorés. Le lieu est très moderne et accueille une clientèle plutôt jeune. Fort sympathique. Seul bémol, le prix plutôt élevé."
