A taste of Hunan,
close to home

Hunan Chinese Restaurant brings the bold, fiery spirit of central China to Elizabethton. Every dish is built on the region's signature approach — fresh chilies, fragrant garlic, and a confidence with heat that you can't fake.


We source locally whenever possible and prepare everything from scratch each day. That means no shortcuts, no frozen shortcuts — just real food that tastes like it was made with intention.

Walk-ins Welcome

No reservations needed — just show up. We'll find you a seat and get your order to the kitchen fast.

Best Chinese food in the area, hands down. The Hunan beef has the perfect amount of heat and the portions are generous.
