"Silky Kitchen offers the real deal in authentic Hunanese cuisine. As soon as I walked in and saw Chairman Mao's Favorite Braised Pork a true signature dish, on the menu, I knew this place was legit. A onetime resident of Hunan, my husband claims that the food at Silky Kitchen is as good as one might find in Hunan itself. A self-defined fast casual spot, Silky Kitchen offers top-notch restaurant-level rice and noodle dishes, with spiciness customizable from regular to medium to spicy to extra spicy. We ordered the hot and sour fish noodle soup and the stir-fried chicken with chili paste over rice. The former was mind-blowingly delicious. The fish was so tender and the soup perfectly tart. Every bite was heavenly. So heart-warming for a cold winter day. The latter was too spicy for my taste, although my husband, a spice fiend, loved it. The service was quick and efficient. The space was large, clean, and very pleasant, comfortably fitting multiple strollers. We will surely be returning--to try Chairman Mao's Favorite Braised Pork no less."
