We had an amazing experience at this restaurant, enjoying authentic Chinese Hunan cuisine with excellent service. Simon, the server, was incredibly attentive, offering timely tea refills, fruit, and snacks, making our gathering full of laughter. The meal lasted nearly 4 hours, with delicious dishes at great value, definitely worth a visit!

Authentic Hunan Style Food – Worth a Try! Came in for lunch and it wasn’t too crowded—around 50% full. The servers were super attentive, which made the experience even better. The interior design is above average compared to regular restaurants—leaning towards a more luxurious feel. Price-wise, it's slightly on the expensive side, but portions are quite generous. Each person is charged RM4, which includes hot tea, rice, and watermelon. What I ordered: Dry Pot Pork Intestine (4/5) Slightly too salty for my preference, but still very flavourful. The intestine was nicely chewy—not rubbery—and had no strong smell, which I appreciated. Diced Chicken with Dried Chilli (5/5) Loved this dish! They used proper bone-in chicken cut into small pieces. It was crispy on the outside but still tender inside—unlike many places that tend to over-fry and dry it out. Chinese Stir-Fried Cabbage (5/5) A simple, comforting dish. Even though it’s meatless, the addition of pork lard on top made it fragrant and satisfying. It balanced the meal well. Will definitely come again to try more of their menu!

Quite authenitic Hunan cuisines. Food presentation is great! I took lamb rack, beef, toufu, pork intestine. All taste good. Chef seems to tone down the spicy magnitude to adapt to local taste bud. Its spicy level is just nice.

We had an amazing time dining here! The food was incredibly flavorful—every dish packed a punch, especially the hot pot and the chili-loaded plates. The portions were generous, and it’s clear from our empty plates how much we enjoyed everything. The ambiance was cozy and perfect for a relaxed, hearty meal with friends or family. Service was warm and attentive, and the team made sure we had everything we needed throughout. You can tell this place takes pride in what they serve—everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. Highly recommend for anyone who loves bold, spicy flavors and a lively dining experience. Definitely coming back!

If you're craving bold, fiery flavors that deliver both comfort and intensity, Xiaoshihouxiang (小时候湘) is a spot that deserves your attention. Specializing in authentic Hunan cuisine, this restaurant strikes a fine balance between spicy heat, sour undertones, and umami depth, all wrapped in nostalgic touches of home-style cooking.
