La Mei Zi (Spicy Sister) taking over Zen Restaurant.. Gooo!






Authentic Chinese restaurant in Uptown? Yes please! As
their website indicates, they now serve Hunan and Szechuan style Chinese
food. No more Asian-fusion. Background: Hunan cuisine is
similar to Szechuan as both regions enjoy spicy foods, but Szechuan
folks love the oily, numb-spicies (ma-la) while Hunan enjoys a drier ,
more balanced spice. We started off with Dan Dan Noodles, al
dente noodles in a gorgeous pool of red spices, bits of stir-fried
ground pork and sesame paste. Warm and entirely satisfying on a cold
night. This is the best I've had, no joke.Next up a bowl of fish
and pickled vegetable soup, flavorful with notes of sourness from the
pickled vegetables, tons of garlic, and tender pieces of fish. Again, a
winner.Cilantro stir-fried lamb, tender slices of lamb, tons of
cilantro and szechuan red peppers. Andy, the restaurant owner
recommended this one and said it everyone's favorite. I enjoyed it too.We
also ordered the Hunan Eggplant to round out our meal. I can't say
that was my favorite, but I think it's because I'm not a huge fan of the
eggplant texture. The spices/flavors were spot on though.It's
so exciting for Minneapolis to finally get some authentic Chinese
cuisine, now if we could get a Northern Chinese style dumpling house....I
want to try every single dish in the Hunan Specialties section and
szechuan style hotpots! Chowdown soon?
