Mid Autumn Festival

Tuesday, September 17th is The Mid Autumn Festival, a very traditional Chinese holiday. This holiday is a very important day for Chinese families who gather together to light lanterns and admire the fullest moon of the year. For this festival, it is customary to enjoy mooncakes. These delicious pastries are sliced up and shared as a family. We love sharing this tradition with our guests and will be giving out complimentary mooncakes on Tuesday.

Labor Day and the Last of Summer on the Patio

Soak up the last days of summer on our patio! We’ll be open Labor Day Weekend, so please enjoy a meal outside with us. We’ll be closed on Monday for the holiday, but here all weekend for your Hunan eats!
