Hulah 湖辣 (By The Old Spot)

I used to skip here because of the low reviews. Friend told me that this is a recently new opened business, but the owner didn’t replace the google review base. What’s important is that the rice noodles are pretty authentic for Hunan. I dropped by today and tried a few. The taste is pretty good, had a full tummy filled with happiness, and staffs are friendly. Please note that the authentic fish soup have small bones in it, that’s just how it is like to be authentic. Order something else if you are like my husband who cannot bear with processing those. I like the soup and finished all of it. The waiting time is not short compared to other restaurants. But I prefer this as I feel it’s more safe with less technologies nor chemicals. I saw that the staffs were eating the same food, so I definitely would come back again. If you are in a bit rush, you may want to call to place order early or order something quick such as the cold dishes. The current menu is pretty good, and price is decent compared to other restaurants. Minor suggestion to the manager that please have some membership options alike

So delicious food here! I really like the spicy sour potato. The noddles are also good. We tried silky melon and egg with pork noodle soup, and peppercorn beef noddle. I'd like to try more flavors next time.

Much better than before the Old Spot Hot Pot. First time trying authentic Hunan Rice Noodle, it's really good but a bit spicy to me. Wish they could have a spicy level to choose.

New Hunan Style restaurant opening in grove st！！The new decorated restaurant is supper new and beautiful. I like their spicy noodles with fish. It's so tasty.

Hulah offers the most authentic Hunan food I’ve ever tasted outside of China! Every dish was packed with bold, traditional flavors that transported me right to the heart of Hunan. From the rich, comforting broth to the perfectly spiced noodles and beautifully cooked eggplants, each bite was a true taste of home-style Hunan cooking. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, and the staff made the experience even better with their attentive service. If you’re craving genuine Hunan flavors, Hulah is the place to be in Jersey City. Can’t wait to come back!
