The Story of Sonny Lee's Hunan Taste
As you step through our doors, the aromatic air carries whispers of history—a legacy woven into every dish we serve. Guests often ask, "Where's Sonny?" as Mary, his wife, expertly navigates the bustling dining room to find seats for eager patrons like you. Let your eyes feast first: dragon-like sushi rolls too beautiful to eat, sizzling jumbo shrimp on hot iron plates, seafood "bird's nests" bound in velvety white sauce, and golden crabmeat wontons bursting at the seams. Yet these are mere preludes to our culinary symphony. The true spectacle begins when Mary calls your name—amid envious glances from waiting guests—as a glistening whole roasted duck emerges. There stands Sonny, poised like a surgeon, his knife flashing to separate crackling skin from succulent meat with precision honed over decades. The reverence in diners' eyes speaks not of novelty, but of homecoming.
Our Heritage
Born in 1984 as "Hunan Taste" in Randallstown, Maryland, our original location earned acclaim from Baltimore's toughest critics—especially for our Peking Duck. After selling in 1989, Sonny's culinary pilgrimage to Hong Kong refined his craft. In 2002, we rose anew in Reisterstown as Sonny Lee's Hunan Taste. Within eighteen months, critics crowned us anew, cementing Sonny's title: Master Duck Sergeant—a moniker bestowed by devoted regulars.
