The first thing I noticed when I entered Hunan Food Truck was the aroma of eucalyptus. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive teal and brilliant orange decor. We were greeted and seated in the Pinwheel Room, a hideous room decorated with numerous pairs of knitting needles and brightly-colored bottles of perfume. Our waitress, whose name was Brooke, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were chicken chow mein, hamburgers, lamb curry, and bonbons. I decided to order Roast beef à la Russe and my companion, Iris, ordered Cornbread Brûlée. Brooke seemed relaxed as she brought in our orders about seventeen minutes later. I had a strawberry shortcake on the side, and Iris had an oyster on the half-shell. A Dr. Pepper was a perfect complement for my roast beef.
The Roast beef was hollow but a bit prickly. The common way to cook with green bell peppers is to grill first, but our chef chooses to deep fry, then blend it into the roast beef. Iris thought the cornbread seemed a bit modern, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred eighty dollars, which I think is justifiable. Overall, the food was tolerable, the atmosphere was magnificent, and the service was sufficient. If you are a shifty person, this might not be the ideal place for you.
