"Di Shui Dong: a Hunan Institution Rustic charm and good home-style cooking are what come to mind when you eat at Di Shui Dong. The Hunan eatery is always packed, a testament to how good their grub really is. If you're unfamiliar with Hunan cuisine, it's the spicy cousin of Sichuan's fiery fare, but they use a more standard and tongue-friendly chili, meaning you get the kick without the mouth-numbing experience of Sichuan's infamous peppercorns. Don't leave without trying the cumin-rubbed ribs and the fish-head steamed with chili. By AFAR Traveler , AFAR Local Expert"
