Overview

Eric's Restaurant is a popular eatery and is a study in contrasts: bright white walls against a dark wood floor. There are long lines of hungry patrons and yet a spacious, uncrowded dining room. The cuisine, artfully rendered Hunan, is equally contrasting. Flavors are at once sour and sweet, spicy and smoky, salty and tangy. The Mango Prawns is one excellent example. Cubes of sweet, musky mango mixed with plump fresh shrimp are coated with a savory sauce that perfectly marries seafood and fruit. Also wonderful are the Smoked Pork with Baby Garlic Root and Leek, sauteed in soy, and the Vegetarian Eggplant with Spicy Garlic Sauce. Plenty of cold water and hot tea is provided by the friendly wait staff to douse the fire as you eat.
