100 Degrees Chinese Restaurant

100 Degrees Chinese Restaurant Restaurant Review:

Patrons will have difficulty limiting their time at 100 Degrees Chinese Restaurant: it’s a come-on-in-and-eat kind of place with a menu that is equally as appealing as well as extensive. Indeed, if you’re craving a taste of China but don't have the cash for the trip, at least you can sample some regional cuisine without leaving home. And when the owners mention hot (and not as in ‘hot pot’) you can bet the dish is laced with chilies. The focus is Hunan-style cooking, always noteworthy for its fiery food. So while the décor is cool, meaning hip and also somewhat contemporary, the kitchen turns out searingly good, sweat-inducing dishes. For maximum burn, try the crispy chicken with multiple peppers, shredded pork in hot pepper sauce, and eggplant in hot garlic sauce. Along with the Hunanese flavors, a second portion of the menu features such Cantonese dishes as moo goo gai pan, sweet-and-sour pork, and shrimp with string beans. The beverage menu is somewhat limited, highlighting assorted teas and a handful of red and white wines.
