Hunan Restaurant
Hunan Restaurant was a Chinese restaurant in Portland, Oregon. History The Liu family opened Hunan Restaurant in Morgan's Alley in downtown Portland in 1979. The restaurant closed in 2014. 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."
