Reception
Grant Butler included Hunan Restaurant in The Oregonian's 2016 list of "Tasty memories: 97 long-gone Portland restaurants we wish were still around", writing: "For 35 years, this Chinese restaurant in downtown's Morgan's Alley was the place for hot-and-spicy fare served with flare, like the Dragon and the Phoenix, a dish combining crab and chicken, served with delicate flowers sculpted from apples and cucumbers. It was one of the first Portland restaurants to serve the now-ubiquitous General Tso's chicken, and there were specialties not seen elsewhere at the time, like tea-smoked duck served in tiny pancakes with plum sauce."[4]
