Serving traditional Hunan & Szechuan dishes and a full apothecary style bar in an 1920s vintage China setting with a modern twist.

Amid the towering and iconic skyscrapers surrounding Columbus Circle and Central Park, we are delighted to bring one of the 8 famous culinary traditions of authentic Chinese cuisine to the neighborhood. From the moment you walk in, the retro style transports you back to old China right in the most modern part of NYC.

It sizzles with hot and spicy tastes that only true Hunan cuisine can bring. Our dishes beckon with bright and tantalizing colors while delivering bold flavors to your palate for an experience unlike any other in the Central Park area. Along with Asian-inspired cocktails from our full bar that includes wine and beer selections, it’s the perfect way to journey to the East without jet lag. For lunch or dinner, explore the creativity behind Hunan cuisine, a treasure of China’s famed culinary styles.
