September Recommendations

Beef & Egg Rice Noodle 湖南卤粉 – Comfort in a bowl. Silky rice noodles, tender beef, and a perfectly cooked egg soak up our rich Hunan-style lu zhi broth for a soul-warming taste of home.
Stir-Fried Diced Lotus Root 香辣榨菜藕丁 – Crisp lotus root meets pickled mustard for a fiery, crunchy stir-fry that’s as addictive as it is colorful.
Grandma’s Pork w. Shang Gan & White Pepper 白辣椒香干炒肉– A true Hunan classic—succulent pork stir-fried with aromatic shang gan tofu and the gentle heat of white pepper, just like Grandma made it.
Jade Goddess Soup 碧玉虾丸蚕豆羹 – Plump shrimp balls, fresh fava beans, and a delicate silky broth. Light, nourishing, and elegant enough for a goddess.
Sautéed Eel With Shiso 紫苏干煸鳝片 – Velvety eel wok-tossed with fragrant shiso leaves—bold, aromatic, and irresistibly savory with that signature Hunan kick.
Yellow River Beef 铁锅金汤肥牛 – A bubbling pot of golden broth cradling slices of juicy beef—rich, tangy, and deeply comforting from the first taste to the last.
Autumn Pear 秋梨香气 – Reposado Tequila, Spiced Pear liqueur, ginger syrup, lime. A crisp, elegant martini, with spiced fall flavors.
Apple Negroni 苹果尼格罗尼 – Apple brandy and sour apple liqueur meet Suze, Lillet, and a touch of apple-cinnamon syrup — a bold, bittersweet twist on the classic.
Citrus&Co 柑橘派对– Calamansi, lime, and yuzu with sugar cane — zesty, bright, and refreshingly smooth, like sunshine in a glass.

Patio Days Extended until October 15!

Last year the season wrapped up in September, but this year we’re giving you extra time to enjoy it. Savor your favorite Hunan dishes under the open sky, soak in those golden-hour dinners, and toast to crisp fall evenings before the patio season officially comes to a close.
💜 The Silk Road Gala is more than a night out. It’s a powerful fundraiser hosted by ATASK, the only organization in New England with a multilingual hotline and shelter for Asian survivors of domestic violence. The event raises vital funds to provide safety, support, and hope for those rebuilding their lives.
At Sumiao, community means everything. We’re proud to support this year’s Gala on October 18, 2025 with gift card contributions, standing alongside survivors and honoring their strength.
