Hunan Home's Restaurant

This place is unreal! Such a ‘hole in the wall’ with absolutely amazing food. We got the onion pancakes, sweet and sour chicken, scallops, chicken fried rice, and beef broccoli with a bottle of hot sake and everything was better than the last! They serve complimentary hot tea as soon as you sit down and were really attentive!

Let me start by telling you I was surprised with how great the customer service was. Server was great. Hunan has the best Wonton soup and pot stickers I've tried in Chinatown. The Mongolian beef was so tender and my chicken cachew nuts was delicious. Their portions are very generous and prices are very reasonable.

Last day before leaving, we decided to try some Chinese food in the famous China town. This place wasn’t too busy which we decided to gave it a shot. The service was not too fast which is a good sign as they prepared fresh. The environment was very traditional Chinese restaurant decor. The server was very friendly. The food itself was very good. Being a Chinese myself and lived in Toronto over 15 years, I have to say the food here is authentic. I would recommend some specialty dishes which can be spicy 🌶!

Our SF China Town favorite! Fantastic local run business, laid back atmosphere, and wonderful service. Was referred by a resident and multi-generational family of San Francisco. Some of our family’s picks; the traditional Moo shu (anything), sweet and sour chicken, and sizzling bean curd in black bean sauce. Sooo yummy!

Delicious Chinese Food, Right off Chinatown. During the lunch or dinner rush, you’ll have to wait outside for a table, but they turn pretty quick. The place is packed with lots of happy customers eating yummy food and it can accommodate large and small parties. Right when you sit down, they offer you hot tea—a great way to start a meal. We started out with the Xiao Long Bao ($7), six dumplings, stuffed with ground pork, chicken broth, and peanut butter. Order ahead because they take about 10 minutes to prep and cook, but they’re worth it! They were supple and delicious. We also ordered the Sizzling Rice Soup ($8 for 2-3 people, $11 for 4-5 people), a soup with chicken, shrimp, vegetable, and served with fried golden rice crust. Unfortunately, it was underwhelming and had no sizzle. The flavors were OK, and probably needed to be served hotter to make the rice sizzle and pop. For our entrees, we ordered the Kung Pao Prawns ($16), prawns sautéed with green and red peppers, and peanuts. The sauce was on the sweet side and the dish had good flavors and vibrant, fresh veggies—not a bad dish at all, but nothing to write home about. We also ordered the Hunan Smoked Pork dish ($13), pork sautéed with cabbage, green peppers, leeks, served in the “chef’s hot sauce.” This dish had more flavors and was great, although the pork was over-cooked and came out tough—but it had a great smokey taste. The kids ordered a crowd-favorite, Cashew Nut Chicken ($13), diced chicken sautéed with celery and broccoli. For kids and those who want a milder entree, this is a good option. My only complaint was there were no broccoli! Overall, this is a good place to get Chinese food. Truth-be-told, I’m not a connoisseur of this cuisine, because I just eat at Chinese buffets. But I would recommend this place to anyone.
