Central China

"I’ve gone here multiple times and the food is delicious. I’ve had cumin lamb, cabbage and vermicelli (it’s really glass noodles), winter melon and egg soup (it’s actually fried egg and not egg drop), seafood tofu, salt and pepper ribs, and steamed fish (it was drowning in its sauce). The staff was friendly and great. I will definitely come back here."

"Awesome Hunan cuisine. Super flavorful. Also great service and fair prices!"

"My cousin and I were roaming around Bellaire (an Asian-dominated area of Houston) looking for a new place to try and we pulled into one of the many strips with multiple Chinese or Vietnamese restaurants, and we settled on Central China. And wow, talk about a hidden gem! The menu was very intimidating as its a massive menu with over 100 items, and this is authentic Hunan food so you're not going to see things like "General Tso's Chicken" or "Broccoli Beef" on it. I ended up getting the Cumin Lamb with Cilantro and my cousin got the Fried Stinky Tofu. The lamb was absolutely delicious (though I ordered it to be mild, not too spicy though the waiter struggles a bit in English so I used hand gestures to help) and the cilantro/cumin was fresh. My cousin had never tried tofu before, much less the famed "stinky" tofu, but he enjoyed it as well (also ordered it mild). The outside of this building is kind of boring and generic, but the inside feels like you could be somewhere in the Hunan province. Do not be afraid to try this restaurant- it will be the closest you'll get to being in China while in Houston!"

"Gotta love a restaurant that has pictures for all their dishes on the menu. Here's what you must order: -Sauteed sour potato. I've made this at home and was amazed at how thin the potatoes were sliced. The thinness and flavor will enhance any other dish that you order, must have!! -Dried pot with family tofu. The sauce has an amazing flavor. This dish kept on giving, I was just expecting a marinated tofu dish. There's a few wonderful surprises in there that I won't spoil, just order it and try it! -Twice cooked pork w string bean. Don't worry if your spice tolerance is low, it's not that spicy."

"Love this place! You have to try their traditional Hunan dishes. I brought my office colleagues here visiting from Europe and they loved it - such authentic Hunan flavors"
