    Lunch special menu.
    Belly G.

    Their lunch special is awesome. For a low price, you get fried rice, eggroll, a little bit of salad, an entree of your choice, and soup. I usually get their cashew chicken or Scallion beef for lunch special. But sometimes, when I don't feel like ordering from the lunch menu, I'd get me some Gai Lan Chicken fun or Orange chiken, or even wonton soup. This four star rating was given with some reservation though. It's mostly for the food because I love me some greasy Chinese food. However, just like other restaurants in Chinatown, you're crazy if you're expecting great, or even good service.

    I was craving shredded pork and bamboo, and this is the only restaurant I know of that has this besides Yantze. Since Yantze became so gross after the new ownership years ago, I've been searching high and low. On yelp, it shows the prices here were still cheap at $5.50 or less. My mistake. I called and ordered for pick up, and apparently, everything is about $7.99 or higher. I would have gone to my usual places for that price. I didn't knock any stars off for being more expensive than I expected though. As for the food, the pork and bamboo was good. I got yu shiang chicken which was also good (but I've never had it anywhere else to compare it to). The sesame chicken was dry and hard on the inside. The house crispy noodles was bland and tasted just off. Would I come back? Not likely.

    They're open 7 days a week now--used to be closed on Tuesdays. Also, lunch specials are now $3.99, $4.35 after tax. It's still a great deal compared to other places around town.

    Best egg and shrimp ever! The prices are reasonable. Excellent service! So many dishes to try without breaking the bank.

    Best place for onion pancake in chinatown... lunch specials are good and very cheap. I felt little salty every dish...

    The original owners who started this place had a really great thing going. We used to eat here all the time and actually got to know the owner's daughter Lisa pretty well. She was always very cordial to us and knew us on a first name basis. I can't tell you how many take out orders that I've gotten from this place. Too many to remember! But since they moved to a new restaurant Yangtze...we have hardly been back. Well the other day I decided to check it out and found out it hasn't really changed that much inside. I ordered my favorite lunch special expecting the free soup that I could always expect with it but was told that they didn't offer that. I only received a 3/4 full small bowl of lukewarm and watered down hot & sour soup....bummer. I do have to admit though that the lunch special that came out was pretty generous. A nice round plate with a nice mound of rice...some chopped up lettuce..not sure what that was for...an eggroll and the main course which tasted decent. My only complaint was the lack of free soup! Come on guys that's what made Hunan Plus so special! It used to be you had to wait to get a seat in that place during lunch..when I was there it was hardly full! The next day I went to Yangtze but didn't see Lisa...I saw some unfamiliar faces but the food appeared the same and the soup was free! I hope Lisa and her family didn't sell the restaurant even though I didn't detect a difference in the quality of the food...But things change...The restaurant business is tough and the competition is always breathing down your neck so I wouldn't blame Lisa if she got out.. Anyways...Hunan Plus is not the same...I miss the old days. It's just ok.

    We have been coming here for many years and the food taste per the cost is still worth it. Cashew nut chicken is by far my favorite. Decor is subpar but man the food is good.

    Not healthy, but food is very cheap and your five dollars worth. You leave full, and it does taste good.

    Ate here and got food poisoned, sick for two days afterwards. Stay away from the noodles I think that was the cause.

    Ask the Community - Hunan Plus

    Are they closed permanently?

    No, they took over the Yantze restaurant located right off the feeder of beltway and Bellaire. They brought all the chefs and the name is still in the process of being changed from Yanzte to Hunan Plus.

    5 Stars - Authentic Szechuan that absolutely nails the classics…read more During our short trip to Houston, as a custom, we were determined to find real Szechuan food, and luckily we found Hu's Kitchen. The location is a bit unassuming, and parking is definitely tough (the spaces are very shallow), but the second we walked through the doors and smelled the Szechuan peppercorns, I knew we were in exactly the right place. I generally judge a Szechuan restaurant by their 夫妻肺片 (Fuqi Feipian)--which they cleverly name "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" on the menu. They completely nailed it. The beef, tripe, and tendon were incredibly cohesive together, yet you could tell each component was prepared and marinated in a slightly different way to perfectly highlight its specific texture. The chili oil was right on the spot. We went through a massive bowl of rice just eating this dish alone. Honestly, if I weren't feeding a family of four, I could have just ordered that and been perfectly happy. While the Fuqi Feipian proves their skill with dry dishes, the 水煮魚片 (Fish in Szechuan Hot Chili Oil) proves their skill with wet ones. It's another must-order. The execution was flawless--we didn't just finish the tender fish chunks, we ate every last piece of cabbage soaked in that incredible chili broth. For my two daughters who can't handle the heat, we ordered the fried rice, garlic pork ribs with onion, and the 紅燒獅子頭 (Giant Meatball with Cabbage). The giant meatball was spectacular. The kids completely devoured it on their own, but I managed to steal a bite, and it instantly brought back childhood memories of exactly how this dish is supposed to taste. We also had the Dan Dan Noodles, which were great and rounded out the meal perfectly. I loved all of the dishes we tried. Should we ever find ourselves in Houston again, we will absolutely be revisiting this hidden gem.

No complaints here since we were starving from an 8 hour road trip. The Dan Dan Noodles...I had high expectations but sadly this dish fell short. I recommend Hu's Cooking to use a bigger bowl and more sauce because it was difficult to mix the noodles and the sauce wasn't...saucing, unfortunately. I wish there was more flavor in this dish. The Scallion Pancake was super over-fried and oily. See image in my review. The outer parts of the pancake were fried to a crisp and only a small circumference in the center stayed chewy. I know Chinese tends to be oily but this pancake soaked up way too much oil. Half a Peking duck: super great price for so much meat. The difficulty when eating this dish is gnawing the meat off the sharp bones of the duck. Mapo Tofu with white rice: pretty easy staple, no complaints here. Dinner on a Saturday was packed but we got seated quickly and food arrived fast.

Pork Bao's are normally my daughter fave but the soup dumplings here are her favorite. She could finish an order on her own. The service is always great.

The order goes straight to the kitchen and you can add as you go if wanted. I always thought that was pretty cool. The owner came out to say hello and ask how everything is. She even brought out a small bowl of soup for my baby to enjoy. The waitress was also very sweet and attentive. I don't live close by but will make the trip when the craving hits.

Today was my lucky day because there was plenty of parking spots and seats (although the parking lot is very small). This place is great! I understand the hype for sure. When you walk inside it's just about the smallest restraunt I've ever. Very cozy and cute vibe with smooth jazz playing on a speaker and we got our food very fast. I really enjoyed my time here. Dry Fried Green Beans 5/5- these are the best green beans I have had in my life! I am not exaggerating like I will be thinking about these green beans all week. Do not hesitate to try these. Perfectly salty and good amount of crunch still left. The flavors they used are just perfect. Colorful Beef 4/5- The texture of the beef was so tender and not chewy at all like other places. The flavor was bright and the bell peppers were cooked through well. The issue I had with this dish was the sichuan peppercorns. I was just eating and not really looking at it super closely so I got a mouth full of these peppercorns and wow it was actually horrible. Just beware because the texture of these things are god awful and I think that they should be taken out like how a bay leaf is removed before serving. It was just really intense and it almost ruined the dish for me honestly. Other than that a great dish. My mouth was so numb but worth it. Dandan noodles 2/5- This was my first time trying this dish anywhere and I did not really enjoy it at all. The sesame flavor was really strong and it wasn't really salted at all. Very strange flavor. I will not order this again, however I do believe that the execution on this dish is great. There was a lot of sauce and the noodles were cooked well. I just really wish I liked the flavor of this dish and that's a personal problem. This dish also made my mouth numb but the flavor did not make it worth it. I wanted to like these so badly but I just couldn't do it. I will be back!
