My sister and I decided to have our last dinner there before the restaurant closes on August 30th. So, we went back and forth deciding which Amuse (appetizer) to start with; which was a challenge. But we settled on the Deviled Eggs Crispy: topped with fried shrimp and bacon jam. Then for our entrée she ordered the Seared Sea Scallops over Crab Risotto, and I ordered the Braised Oxtails with Chuck Rice & Plantains. All I have left to say is "some good eating". Let me add some of the dishes that others around me ordered looked out of this world as well; Deep-Fried Snapper with African Gravy, Jerk-Braised Short Ribs with Curry Pea Risotto, and Teriyaki Tomahawk with Miso Butter just to name a few, looked amazing. When I looked at what they ordered and I looked at my order I was wondering the same thing for both of us; we are going to need a doggie bag because there is no way we could eat all this food in one sitting. It's bittersweet to see Chef Tobias leave. However, I think I speak for those in the DMV in saying thank you for serving such high-quality food and for being a true beacon in the community. Your restaurant has brought people together, created lasting memories, and made a meaningful impact that will not be forgotten. Though you are relocating to Florida I'm wishing you continued success as you begin this next chapter in another state. The same success the DMV brought you I pray for an even greater level of success in Miami along with the recognition you deserve. In my travels if I'm in Miami, I certainly will look you up. Now, typically I would end this review by saying the next time you're in the area please be sure to visit. But I say this with extreme urgency 'RUN DON'T WALK OR STROLL" because they will be closing after next week. read more

Disclaimer: Late review! How do I not have a review! Shame on me! We made an impromptu reservation at Huncho House. We got to the restaurant and were welcomed to a sign that read, "make our way to 1123". Thank goodness it's directly across the street. We walked into 1123 and they honored the entire experience as if they were Huncho House, complimentary champagne, yay; nothing was amiss. We were able to order off the Huncho House menu which I was happy about because that is where we wanted to dine. For those that don't know, Huncho House is a little treasure in the College Park area. Everything is always good and Chef Tobias menu never misses! Let's get into it! Deviled Eggs - They put a fried shrimp on top! These are a fave! Wagyu Cheesesteak Egg Rolls - OMG good! Oyster Rockefeller- Delicious! Chicken Parmigiana- Fantastic! Lamb Chops - Full of flavor! Filet Mignon - Soft, seasoned to perfection! Crab Oscar - perfect touch! Sides: Must do Lobster Mash, Crab Mac and Cheese! A fan of anything Chef Tobias! Come you WILL not be disappointed! read more

Huncho House was the first stop on my DC food tour. Me and seven of my friends flew to DC for the "DC food experience" we've heard so much about and HH did not disappoint. The ambiance was beautiful. We made reservations and due to the traffic we weren't aware of, we weren't going to make our reservation time. We called the restaurant and asked if we could move our time and they allowed us to. TOP TIER SERVICE and we hadn't even arrived yet. Once we arrived we were escorted to our table. I loved the welcoming champagne that was brought to our table. That was a wonderful touch. Our waitress was so cute, bubbly and very knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered our drinks. I ordered a Espresso Martini and it was delicious. We also ordered the Deviled eggs. The Lobster Rigatoni, Lamb Chops and the mac and cheese. Everything was amazing. Chef Tobias is doing his big one with this restaurant. Good vibes, great drinks, delicious food. I'll definitely be back. read more

I've been to Huncho House a few times and every single time has been impeccable. When you walk in, you're greeted with a glass of champagne. It was a nice, unexpected and very welcomed surprised. The restaurant is dimly lit, elegant and the music tied the experience together. We've always had great servers who were attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. There were a bunch of items that we liked on the menu but the Huncho House sushi roll and the Jerk Wings were the highlights! The Jerk Short Ribs were good but I had more leftovers than anything because we ordered 10,000 appetizers. The short ribs actually tasted better the next day which was a nice surprise. Overall, I'm already planning returning for the third time to try some other menu items as well so I could definitely say this place is worth a visit. They also have a sister restaurant 1123 which is Asian and African fusion which delivered as well. read more

Still relatively new to the area and came here for a late dinner with my sister. The service was phenomenal from the very beginning. My meal was delicious and I even tried the oyster appetizer. I'm now a fan of grilled oysters! The whole vibe was grown and sexy. I had a fantastic time and will sure be back. read more

The food and the server were great. We came with a party of 6. There was a lot of energy in the place. It matched the energy of our party because we just wanted to have a fun Friday. Very nice interior. We got the jerk chicken lollipops, Mac and cheese, crab cakes and steak. We also got complimentary champagne, maybe because of our party size? We weren't rushed. Our reservation was for 7:45 and we got out at 10:15. The conversation was good so we didn't mind. The only bad part is that the food and drinks didn't all come out at once. Some people got their drinks and apps before others, but it wasn't long gaps in between. It didn't ruin the experience. A tip is to ask the price for the items that do not have price tags by them. It's not what you think so it's better to be clear. For example, we were debating the snapper, which looked good, but was $75 and did not have the price listed. I didn't expect that and it made us change our mind. Don't assume! read more

I am soooo happy I gave this restaurant another chance. I was able dine there with some new friends who got great reservations. Everything was great. The hostess at the front greeted us kindly and offered us complimentary glasses of champagne. We were seated immediately. Our waitress, Shakira, was AMAZING!!! Give her a RAISE!!! She was attentive and gave great recommendations. She took pictures of me at the end of the night. She was so sweet and made Our girls night out even better! We had our APPS: shrimp, egg rolls, and deviled eggs: delicious. Our MAINS: I had the salmon fried rice with the crab mac and cheese. Soooo good! I ordered the lavender lemon drop. Very nice! Lastly, I tasted my friend's cheesecake. Absolutely divine!!!! My final rating is for the decor: View the pics. It's absolutely beautiful and very cozy because it's a smaller venue from it's sister restaurant 1123. 5 stars, 10/10 MINUS NOTHING!!!!!!!! read more

3.5 star rounded up. Though the servers have good customer service, the amount of wait time from walking into the building is a bit excessive. 10-15 minute wait with a reservation (we were given complimentary champagne). Multiple tables having to flag down any waiter just to get service. Very small restaurant and the tables are low + fairly close together. As for the food, I would give it 5 stars. The crab stuffed oysters were absolutely incredible and make me wait to visit again for those alone! Some meals seemed a little too simple for the prices, but the variety was good and the bites we had were delicious. read more

Before arriving at the restaurant we got a phone call stating the restaurant was temporarily CLOSED and operating down the street at 1123 restaurant. That was a bit odd but we went with it. I reviewed the menu before arriving as well. When we arrived at the restuarant, it was indeed down the street but we found out that Huncho House joined with another restuarant called Solo's Den and they renamed the restaurant 1123. Upon arriving we received a sip of champagne (yes just a sip tasting) complimentary of course. The "new temporary" location was more spacious than the original location which was okay but the table were close together. Where if you got up you have to excuse yourself for touching or being over other customers table. We received the menus and they nothing like menu we saw online. Since Huncho merged with Solo's Den to create 1123 the menu is not Asian African infusion that also comes with a sushi menu. Now the food..we ordered the deviled eggs with fried chicken thighs and hot honey and cheesesteak fusion rolls for the appetizer. My friend she ordered the whole branzino dish and I ordered the Asian steak (that is the name of the dish) medium with mushrooms and garlic mash potatoes for the sides. Unfortunately when my steak was served at the table it was well done. I let the waitress know my steak was not cooked to medium and she took it back to the chef. They did prepare another steak which came out cooked correctly the second time. Since I was not drinking I ordered the Hibiscus Mule which was tasty. The service was okay overall but it was alittle slow. The waitress and staff were slow to fill water glasses and drink orders. We literally saw the bar staff standing around behind the bar talking doing nothing through out our time there. Also the serving staff was moving too fast causing spillage off of plates onto the tables and into drinks. Lastly we asked the staff how long they were going to be in that location temporarily and they stated they didnt know because the other location has HVAC issues. My overall experience was just okay, but if Huncho has indeed merged with Solo's Den to create 1123, why keep the other Huncho house menu on the website because now if you arrived you will be confused and disappointed because customers are not seeing the same menu or prices. read more

I was greeted with a complimentary glass of champagne by three smiling professional hostess. It took a little while for my waitress to come to my table, but another waitress was kind enough to not only greet me but get my ordered started as well. The ambiance, the decor and the vibe was very nice. I ordered the wagyu egg rolls for an appetizer, the short rib and risotto for my main and a don Julio margarita. The food was very good. The mac and cheese was a little on the salty side and the drinks are pretty pricey. Overall, I had a great experience and I would definitely come back and try out some different things on the menu. Oh, and my actual waitress was very sweet and attentive. I wish I remembered her name! read more

Wow! I'm so glad I finally booked the restaurant. I've been a fan of his from Food Network. Had co-workers in town from down south. They appreciated the friendly staff, ambiance, and delicious food. So happy to see Tobias there and working after his injury last year. Would definitely recommend the cheesesteak eggrolls, short rib, brussel sprouts, and lobster ravioli. Table next to us had deviled eggs that looked delish also. read more

My friend and I chose this restaurant in support of Black History Month because the owners are black! The restaurant was very good but I would have made some small changes to make the experience great. The oysters my friend got were really good. The flavors were spot on. My shrimp was cool I just personally wish it was spicier and the batter crispier. The lobster pasta was very good flavor wise, perfect level of spiciness, I would have just changed my noodles because they were chewy. As far as service, it did take a while to get seated despite us having reservations. They did offer us complimentary champagne during the wait which was nice. The food delivery was a little slow but not terrible. My only real complaint is the seating. It's a small restaurant so the tables are very close together and the seats are also really low to the ground. My friend and I have long legs and our legs at the end of dinner were very stiff! I think the restaurant is on the right track they just have to make a few small tweaks. read more

I was extremely disappointed overall after waiting literally months to get a reservation. The food was underwhelming. The service was subpar.

Party of three, we all had theKorean Chicken and waffles from the brunch menu was delicious. Flatware, carafe of water for the table and beautiful plates and glassware add to the experience. Service is outstanding, wait staff works as a team, very attentive. It is an upscale atmosphere with a funky vibe. This area of Hyattsville is in a new town centre with several multi level parking garages so that makes it convenient. I will be returning soon for dinner. Go, you will not be disappointed, kudos to Chef Tobias Dorzon! read more

Huncho House provides guests with an upscale dining experience. The best part is that it's black-owned. Everything about this dinner experience is top-tier and the definition of black excellence. Booking: First things first, booking a reservation. I booked my reservation about a month in advance through the Huncho House website via Open Table. I booked the chef's table experience, this experience costs $100 per person to reserve these seats. Please note: this is a separate fee from the dining service (Max 4 guests). I highly recommend booking these seats, worth every penny. You get to engage with Chef Tobias, Chef Key and Chef Lady T. Their energy is infectious. It was empowering to see so many women chefs in the kitchen. Decor and Design: The overall ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful. I loved the attention to detail, the cutlery and plate wear are stunning, I ended up ordering some of the costers from the Honeycomb collection from the William and Sonoma site that night. Service: The service was top-tier, we were greeted by the general manager, Diona, who gave us an overview of the Chef's table experience as we enjoyed a complimentary glass of champagne. Paris, our server, guided us through the menu and recommended her favorite items and popular pairings. Food: Everything we ordered was outstanding. The charbroiled oysters, crispy Asian shrimp, red snapper, and crab & jalapeno fettuccine were a few highlights that we tried. We just ordered a bunch of food to share. The food was worth every penny. I ended up ordering another crab & jalapeno pasta to go. We also tried the vanilla bread pudding and the flaming banana foster cheesecake. The cheesecake is mouth-watering and finished with salted caramel. Parking: Huncho House is metro accessible. There is street parking and garage parking available. Please note that parking is not validated. read more

Okay I'm a Lil' late with this review, forgive me. Myself and wife dined here for our anniversary dinner, it was her choice, and man this place is nice, always packed, it's best to make reservations in advance + it's black-owned and operated. The atmosphere, ambience, and service was 10++ and the food was amazing. The only thing is the parking situation, which was you can park on the street, which is difficult finding a space; then their is a local garage across and up the street just a bit. It's like a 2-5 minute process. Other than that I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves fine dining. read more

Food, service and drinks were all great! The street corn was sweet and delicious. The wife cleaned her plate of the salmon fried rice and said it was the best fried rice she's had in a very long time! My jerk crab cake was also delicious, I appreciated the different flavor profile vs a traditional crab cake. The broccolini was ok, I wish it was a little spicier. The Mac n cheese was a winner, cheesy and delish. As for the ambiance, nice and intimate space however I do wish the tables/chairs weren't so close to each other. It just feels like you are sitting with your neighbor in one party. We'll go back for sure to try other things! read more

I'm going to start by saying I love the food at Huncho House. I dined here for my birthday earlier this year and had a great experience. I also love the vibes especially the music. However, the service I received last night was completely unacceptable. My friends and I had a reservation for 8:45 and arrived at 8:40. We were told our table was not quite ready yet. We were not seated until about 9:10, which I find to be ridiculous seeing that they charge a $35 per person cancellation fee and would likely penalize us for being late. We got our first appetizer almost right away, which was weird because our next appetizer came (sushi) came 20 mins later and everything else including my SALAD took an additional hour to come out. We all ordered drinks and for the first 30 minutes only one of us had a drink. I hate to bash a black owned business, but I need them to get it together especially since they are expanding the business and are SO expensive. They say that people have 90 mins to dine but again our reservation was for 8:45 and due to the service we did not leave the restaurant until about 11:20. read more

Took a 50 min drive to visit. I was underwhelmed. Went on a Sunday evening thinking I would get dinner, but it was brunch only. I'm not a fan of sweetness so the chicken and waffles, were not my fav.

I visited from Houston. Tobias is one of my favorite Food Network stars so it was more than right I paid his restaurant a visit. We went on a Friday night @ 7:30. It was busy but appeared to be manageable. Upon getting seated, we were offer complimentary champagne. We was escorted to our table which was near the kitchen. I love the view of the chefs cooking and preparing the dishes. I thought that concept is unique and entertaining. There is seating available at the kitchen for maybe solo diners. We loved our food. The Brussels Sprouts were perfect. The sweetness was there which I loved. I ordered the lobster rigatoni which was flavorful. I also ordered the Huncho sushi which was packed with flavor and stuffing. However, it was difficult to eat with chopsticks-like it wasn't rolled tightly or overly stuffed. Service was ok. It took a while for us to get our drinks. Our drinks pretty much came out later than expected. Music was a vibe. It was low enough to have conversation at the table. I'll go back if/when I'm back in Maryland! read more

Decided to go for Mother's Day. My reservation was for 4pm. It was still the brunch menu, and they were out of a lot of their menu items. I decided on the stuffed strawberry cream cheese French toast, 5/10. sadly disappointed due to only squiggling squirts of cream cheese on the plate and not in the French toast. The price was rather high for fried bread. I was looking forward to their regular menu. The drinks were definitely a 10/10. We were placed in a back room but the service was great, we just felt a little rushed. I will give it a try again, maybe in the future. read more

Huncho House is simply great. The food is innovative and comforting, the decor and service are welcoming, and the cocktails are creative. I have dined at HH several times over this year, and each time I left singing HH's praises. Each visit started the same way, upon walking through the door you are greeted and offered a taste of Champagne style sparkling wine. Is the Champagne Dom Perignon Brut? No. It is chilled Freixenet Ice Rosé and it is gratis, so no complaints. The ambiance is candlelight dark with the brightest lights coming from the open kitchen. The bar is tiny, really just for service as opposed to sitting. The space is small but in a cozy way. Naysayers will lament the use of the fake flower/plant walls and ceiling decorations. The service, in my experience has been unfailingly great with a wonderful pacing of dishes from the kitchen. The service charge, 20%, is automatically added to the total bill pretax total, but it may shortchange the staff because they treat guest at levels worthy of 25% plus! The food! The creative dishes seem to be a fusion of Asian, Italian, and African/African Diaspora. Reading the Chef-Owner's background and training, that fusion makes sense. I have hap the crab fried rice with the most succulent salmon on top. The dish is fresh, Asian-African in influences. Like a great Asian seafood fried rice mixed with Nigerian celebratory fried rice. The Salmon is soy glazed and grilled perfectly. The seared scallops over a creamy risotto (I believe it is a risotto or risotto style dish) is another favorite. The scallops are meaty and cooked perfectly every time. I also love the seafood noodle dish again with contributions from Africa, Asia, and Europe. The whole branzino is excellent, if a bit messy to eat, but worth it. I highly recommend ordering the roasted Brussels sprouts. Tossed in butter and hoisin sauce, the roasted, I order them as an appetizer and as a side. The other great sides are the lobster macaroni and cheese and the creamy whipped potatoes. Unfortunately, I have never tried the desserts. I am usually too stuffed. I spend my sugar allowance on the crafted cocktails. The "Date Night" cocktail made with D'USSÉ or Hennessy cognac, is a great twist on the classic Side Car cocktail. The Side Car will be the next Old Fashion, namely an old classic gaining favor with a new generation. I also tried the s'mores Old Fashion. It tasted like a s'mores but with liquor. They even garnished it with a toasted marshmallow lit aflame by a torch and delivered to the table all toasty, warm, and melty. Five stars for the gem of a restaurant in Prince George's. Right across the street from the classic PG Plaza mall. I would have never imagined that the county would get such an establishment in the working class areas. It happened and Chef Tobias Dorzon made it happen. My one small, but not deal breaker, quibble are the drink prices. At $22 plus tax and automatic gratuity, the cocktails for one is over $25. I understand inflation, but that is steep. Further, the cocktail menu does not list prices. The prices are whatever they charge, but just disclose them clearly and allow the drinker to make the choice. $22 seems on the very high end of the scale. Just know what to expect and make informed choices. Are they worth it? Close, but the prices may be $5 to $7 more than I would be comfortable paying. But I am frugal, so do what is best for your budget. Five stars, easy. read more

i first went to Huncho House when they first opened a couple years ago and had been meaning to go back for a while. Reservations are hard to comeby, but not impossible. Love that they still start you out with a complimentary glass of champagne. It took a while for our waitress to come see us when we first got there because it was busy. She immediately acknowledged that when she got to us and apologized profusely and sent us shots to make up for it. She set the tone for customer service from the beginning. She also had us laughing the entire night. She had great energy, was super accommodating, and contributed to us having a great evening. She is truly an elite employee. In fact, next time I go back, I want to sit in her section again. We started out by getting the California roll, which was good. Be advised that Huncho House does not do substitutions. The spicy lobster rigatoni and the snow crab Asian garlic noodles were the perfect level of spice for me. I will say though, not everyone may enjoy them if they do not like spicy foods. The Jerk crab cakes are definitely the star of the show. Of course all crab and no filler, flavorful, soft, and just a perfectly well made crab cake. And the jerk flavor isn't overpowering. Broccolini was good too. It is also spicy. The dessert we got was the cheesecake, which was just your classic cheesecake with caramel and bananas. It took some time for the crab cakes to comeout, so our waitress Keila sent my friend a cocktail since it took a while. Keep in mind, we didn't complain about anything but she recognized the issue and addressed it swiftly with the skill of customer service that so many do not have. She also sent us another round of shots because the writing on my friend's birthday dessert was messed up lol. She also took a little off our bill. She is an example of someone that anyone would want on their team. Good customer service is hard to comeby, but I am glad we had Keila. read more

So we went to Huncho House as one of the DMV restaurants we wanted to try on our new journey to see what we've been missing on the food scene and I'll admit I'm glad we came! We went on a Friday evening at 6. It was the only thing available for our party size which was a little early for me. When you walk in the door it's a quaint little place but very welcoming as we walked in. The hostess provided complimentary glasses of rose champagne ( it's truly a taste amount) and then we were seated. Our waitress was very nice and knowledgeable of the menu. You can tell Chef Tobias wants his guest to feel as if they are experiencing a fine dining environment and it did feel as such. We ordered the oysters and jerk lollipops as a starter. They both tasted great I loved the candied finish on the chicken skin and the oysters were well seasoned as well. Then for entrees we ordered a few different things I had the crab cakes which I enjoyed ima huge crab cake fanatic and love a good crabby crab cake no fillers thank you ! I was thoroughly impressed I must say. I had the macaroni and lobster mash for sides and they were also solid choices as well. We didn't do a dessert unfortunately but I think we really didn't have time anyways. If I could leave one note for fixing it would be the process of having patrons know their time allotment is running out. We were paying our tab and our table was cleared as we were still seated. One guest didn't even have the chance to finish her drink unfortunately but our waitress did hear the concern and fixed it immediately. If I'm back in the area I would come back but don't think I'd make the hour drive from Alexandria again. read more

We came here without a reservation yesterday evening after our original restaurant plans fell through. I was thrilled that Huncho House could accommodate us last minute (literally, we called and they told us to come in even though their reservation waitlist is usually at least a month!) as one of my friends flew into town for a visit. Our server, Ebony, was VERY sweet! She helped us make informed decisions about our food and drinks, checked in on us often, and really made our experience a good one! The restaurant, though surprisingly small, boasts beautiful decor that gives off cute jungle paradise vibes. The flower buds on the ceiling, gorilla light fixtures, and stunning wallpaper create a unique atmosphere. Even the seats are comfy and not your typical restaurant chairs. They played a lot of 00s R&B music, which I LOVED. My friends and I were definitely singing along during our meal! I chose the Blue Moon cocktail, which was pretty strong but also sweet. They definitely weren't stingy with the liquor, and the coconut taste complemented the drink beautifully--it looked gorgeous too! For appetizers, I ordered the chargrilled oysters, and they were DELICIOUS! Cooked perfectly, I immediately tore them DOWN! My friend ordered the lollipops, which she said were also delicious. Both dishes were perfect for sharing. For the entrée, I ordered the jerk short ribs with a side of crab mac. DELICIOUS, fall OFF the bone, finger-licking GOOD! You definitely won't regret this choice. I don't usually eat beef, but BABY, do IT! The taste was amazing, and the gravy was excellent. The crab mac side was more than enough to share--I barely made a dent in it. Literally, it was SO much to eat. So, so tasty. For dessert, I ordered the vanilla bread pudding. This was my least favorite option, as I like my bread pudding a bit softer, and this one was a bit stiffer. It was still tasty, just not as buttery as I'm used to. Overall, Huncho House provided a fantastic dining experience, from the accommodating last-minute reservation to the incredible service, delicious food, and lovely ambiance. Definitely give it a try if you're in the area! read more

I'm giving three stars for the ambiance and the appetizers! We were there to celebrate my engagement and left really disappointed (our server was amazing though!) I've always wanted to try this place out and as a person who loves food, the entrees were really underwhelming.!! I will start by saying the lobster mash potatoes and the oysters were sooo flavorful! However, I wouldn't recommend the short rib, AT ALL. It was so dry and lacked flavor, even in sauce. I sent it back and got the Bronzino which also wasn't good. It was way too much arugula on top and needed sauce to bring it together. I order the s'more old fashion and it took 45 minutes for it to come. I would of rather had the original. When it came it was watered down because the ice cube had melted to half of its original size. My friend had the filet mignon and asked for it medium and it came back well done. So we had to wait another 30 minutes for her meal to be cooked again. As great as our waiter was, the manager was micromanaging our waiter and was ruining our experience even more. We had watched the manger have an attitude with our waitress when she was doing an amazing job. When the manger came over, she went behind our waitress to fix things that weren't an issue and made the already unsettling situation, worse. We were not compensated for any of our terrible experience. All and all, we left disappointed and a ruined celebration. read more

The first phrase that came out my mouth when I entered Huncho House was "this is such a cute place!" Huncho House gives date night vibes. It is nicely decorated with limited spacing, naturally creating a very intimate setting. When we arrived we were greeted by the hostess, who confirmed our reservation and then offered us their complimentary champagne. Upon seating us, we were welcomed and greeted by three waiters that were very attentive to our table. For our appetizer, we ordered the Wagyu cheesesteak eggrolls, which were flavorful, however, the eggrolls were lacking a crispiness and the additional gusto that we needed to be amazed by this dish. For our entree, we had the jerk short ribs with the crab Mac and cheese as a side, which were both sizable proportions. The short ribs didn't necessarily give jerk to me, however, it was still an enjoyable dish. The risotto rice that came with the short ribs was uniquely flavored that I feel required an acquired taste. The crab Mac and cheese was very palatable. My fork just kept gravating to that cheesy goodness. Overall, we appreciated the robust customer service and thoroughly appreciated the experience here. As it relates to parking, there was street parking available along with a parking garage. read more

I came to visit a couple of friends in the DMV area and found this place highly recommended on TikTok so we had to give it a try! We made reservations online a couple of days in advance and had to settle for a later time because it was almost booked up (so book in advance!). We found parking on the street but I believe there may have been a parking garage as well. When we came in, we were greeted with a complimentary glass of champagne (which was tasty!) and taken to our seats. The establishment itself is a bit small so I'm not sure if it's ideal for large groups or more than about 6-8 people. We were also pretty close to the table next to us. We had a couple of waiters with our main one being Anaya and they were all great! Everyone was pretty knowledgeable, gave recommendations, checked on us frequently and had great customer service , which I greatly appreciate! For our meal, we started with the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls. They were good, however I expected it to be more "solid" (not sure the right word to use). It was pretty saucy and kind of runny so it didn't quite give egg roll to me and it could've been a little more crispy but it was still good. For our entree we did the short ribs and a side of the seafood Mac. Both were excellent to me! The ribs were tender and fell off the bone and the risotto that it sat on top of was delicious! Very well seasoned! The Mac and cheese was just how I like it, creamy, cheesy, well baked and well seasoned. I would definitely come back to try more items on the menu! read more

Thursday night, I had the honor of visiting Huncho House for the first time in Hyattsville, Maryland. Originally, my reservation was at their other location, 1123, but I received a call informing me of maintenance issues and was asked to relocate to Huncho House, which I had no problem with. I was very impressed with how quickly they contacted me and ensured that my accommodation was still secured. Unfortunately, despite their efforts, my experience didn't quite align with the level of hospitality they provided. My reservation was at 7 PM, and I arrived right on time. However, my guests were delayed, leaving me alone at the table for over 30 minutes. Thankfully, I was taken care of by the server, Belinda, and the lead manager, Melissa, who made sure I was comfortable throughout the wait. Additionally, my longtime friend Tiana, who works as a sous chef in the kitchen, was part of the team that made my visit special. Between the three of them, I felt well looked after and more than comfortable, even dining alone at a table for four. The atmosphere of the restaurant is small, quaint, and cozy. My only minor issue was with the music, as there seemed to be some buffering problems. Otherwise, the restaurant's aesthetic was pleasing. I'm also familiar with executive owner and pioneering chef Tobias, who made an appearance after recovering from a recent health scare. It was great to see him back in action. I had already started with my appetizer, Rockefeller wh oysters, which were delicious, and simply had water while waiting. Belinda treated me like I was a VIP--her knowledge of the menu was impressive, and she described each dish thoroughly. Her professionalism was top-notch, and she made the whole experience feel like a five-star fine dining event. The hospitality from the host, manager, and kitchen team made this evening a perfect start to my new year. For my entrée, I had the scallops with risotto, which was absolutely delicious--hands down flavorful and cooked to perfection. My guests enjoyed their entrées as well, which included snapper, Wagyu eggrolls, and ribeye. I'm definitely planning to return, even if it's just for a solo dinner date. Kudos again to everyone at Huncho House! Ps the bartender did a awesome job with my virgin Mojito. It was very delicious. That's one of the things I would definitely be coming back for. read more

Huncho House - Chef Tiana and I - New American Near Me - Hyattsville, Maryland

After months of trying we finally secured a reservation at the Huncho House for my birthday! This restaurant is perfect for special occasions. It is a smaller venue which adds to the intimate feeling. The staff are incredible from start to finish. We were greeted with warm smiles and offered a champagne tasting before being taken to our table. We wanted to order everything on the menu, but settled for a selection of a few items. We had the wagyu cheesesteak egg rolls, the jerk short rib, the cilantro lime lamb, the crab mac and cheese, and the mashed potatoes. I also ordered a cocktail (I believe the name of the drink was hear me clearly). Everything was 10/10! The lamb was a definite favorite. We also loved the egg rolls so much that we ordered some to go! The jerk short rib fell off the bone and the sides were delightful. I will say, the jerk short rib did not really taste like jerk seasoning, but nonetheless it was the best short rib I've ever had! We can't wait to come back and bring some friends with us! Give the Huncho House a try for your next date night or special occasion! read more

Excellent food friendly service. Trip over the restaurant in a Syfi book, though what the heck, tried it out and it's in our top ten favorites. Eat there whenever we're in the area. read more

Finally made it and can't say I loved the experience enough to return. I'll start off by saying our server, Gigi, was sweet and very personable! She literally made it not horrible! This is still technically a reservations only restaurant. We lucked out on a Friday evening as they had a few cancelations. Our party of two was promptly seated. Speaking of the seats, they're entirely too close together! I get that the space is cozy, and they want to accommodate as many as possible, but it was uncomfortable. We literally can hear others' conversations nearby, and they weren't that loud. We ordered a few drinks. We put in the food. Some of the food comes out before the drinks! Well, my entree, the jerk short ribs didn't come out right away. I think it wasn't put in. Who knows?! Eventually, I got it. My friend got the "new fashion," and I got the lavender lemon drop. None of these drinks were good! And for the price, it's not worth it! Regarding the food, it's not great. The jerk short ribs weren't jerkin at all. Super salty everything. I was disappointed as I had high hopes, but it wasn't for me. read more

My partner surprised me with birthday reservations here. She knew I had been wanting to try HH. The only negatives were use having to wait 15-20 mins although we had reservations and not knowing the parking situation. Note: Park in the Safeway parking garage so you receive 2 hours free parking. Food: I read reviews saying the food was cold. I'm not sure what when this was, but our food was piping hot. AMAZING! Everything was perfectly seasoned and hot. We ordered the jerk short rib, Asian salmon & crab fried rice, and the crab mac and cheese. The short rib didn't give jerk, more like spiced. It had some heat but I wouldn't say jerk. The short rib was TENDER. I didn't try the risotto because I don't like peas but my lady said it was surprisingly good. She's not much of a curry lover but stated it gave the dish a unique flavor. The salmon and crab fried rice were chefs kiss. The mac and cheese...perfectly cheesy. We were halfway through the meal and the dish was still steaming. Maybe a little more crabmeat could be added, but we outside of that, I have no complaints. SN: The table next to us ordered the charbroiled oysters and whole red snapper; which both looked amazing! I'll definitely try the oysters the next time we come. Only because I don't like fish with bones, the snapper won't be on my hit list. Drinks: Tried the NYE special but I can't remember the name. Regardless it was delicious, not too sweet. Ambiance: Complementary champagne was given upon entry for New Year's Eve. R&B hits are played. The inside is decorated nicely and is very IGable. read more

I like the ambiance however the space is very cramped. The music on this particular Thursday night was Wale's Ambition Album and SZA/summer walker sorry I don't know the difference. With a dining time limited to 90 minutes we did not meet our waiter until 12 minutes into being seated. Our waitress was very polite and provided some of her personal selections. The front of House Manager visits every table and is very knowledgeable. He answered all of questions from who had the auxiliary cord to what inspired the decor. Being 8 months pregnant I wanted to go all out Huncho House did NOT disappoint!! Those old enough to engage in bubbly are greeted at the door with a complimentary beverage. My hunny came to the table with his flute glass giving Rich Baby Daddy vibes. My party of two enjoyed 3 appetizers Charbroiled Oysters(5), Jerk Chicken Lollipops with Mumbai Glaze(4), Waygu Beef Cheesesteak Eggrolls. Appetizers were amazing the lollipops are full size drumsticks I just think the oysters could have been charbroiled a little longer to get the shaved Parmesan a crunch or even melt more. Our main courses included the Cilantro Lime Lamb Chops served over green beans and paired with the Hunch Mac & Cheese to share( a recommendation from our waitress) and the 21 oz Hawaiian Ribeye. The Lamb was simply amazing!! I was not a fan of the ribeye, the slight sweetness and charred undertone were not pleasant to my tastebuds. You may request the Pineapple Shallot Butter for an additional $6 For dessert we had each item Flaming Banana Foster Cheesecake and the Vanilla Bread Pudding. The Banana Foster Cheesecake is perfect no need to change and I wished the Bread Pudding came with more sauce. A warm beverage pairing would be nice especially during the winter months. Note: they have other beverage options not listed on the menu. read more
