Ask for that<\/strong>!  No other place around tastes like this one.  I recommend the tofu scallion salad, the julienne potato salad, the NE style pancake, the chive potstickers, and the pork riblets with Italian flat bean stew, I am not sure how you can get any of these but try your best with the Chinese language.  The grammar is simple, I promise you.  Nor should you forget the pork belly stew with wide glass noodles or the pots and dishes with fermented cabbage.  If this area had forty Manchurian restaurants, this one might not be in the top five, but as it stands it is one of the most interesting Chinese restaurants around, if that is what I can call it.  Definitely recommended.<\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href=\"http:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/hunan-gate-restaurant-2\/\" title=\"Hunan Gate Restaurant\">Hunan Gate Restaurant<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hunan Gate Restaurant, web site, 4233 N.
