Hunan Restaurant

Ian Jones, Food and Drink Editor
hunan chinese restaurant manchester

Hunan serves up generous portions of tasty, unpretentious food at pleasingly low prices – exactly what you hope to find in Chinatown. The cuisine is based on the Hunan province of China, which means it’s spicy but not gasping-for-air spicy. Certainly worth a visit or three.
