    I was very satisfied with the Hunan cuisine offered here, as an avid fan of spicy food, everything was perfect. I also ordered some of their house tea which I found to be very enjoyable on a cold winter day. Please keep in mind that this restaurant is quite busy during dinner time, so expect a long wait for, especially if you have a large party size. I personally didn't want to wait 45 minutes to be sat, so I was able to quickly order and received my food to go within 10 minutes which was surprisingly fast. I really love the open kitchen concept, everything was very clean in appearance.

    #1Hunan Dumplings

    I found this spot on Yelp while I was craving Chinese food and since I love spicy dishes, Hunan cuisine felt like the perfect choice. We stopped by on a Thursday around 4pm, and it was totally empty, so we got to sit wherever we wanted. The menu had so many things that looked good, we decided to just go for it and try a bunch. We ordered the Hunan dumplings, kung pao chicken, smoked pork belly, chicken chow mein, and Hunan pork belly. The food came out fast, maybe 15 minutes tops, and every dish was delicious. Everything had a solid kick, but nothing was overwhelmingly spicy (though if you're sensitive to heat, fair warning, it might be a bit much!). Honestly, I couldn't even pick a favorite dish because they were all so good. Definitely planning to come back. Total hidden gem!

    Really great Chinese food that comes out really fast! Also open on weekends which is a rarity in FiDi. We came for lunch on a Saturday and we were immediately seated, ordered, and had food within 10 minutes. They specialize in spicy Hunan dishes. The pepper beef was delicious and very spicy. One of my favorite Chinese dishes is dry fried green beans and these came out perfectly too, with a nice amount of crisp.

    Generational business here with a simple formula. Fast, tasty, Hunan dishes in a clear financial district space. Self service ordering but table service. So tip !!! Clean ambiance in the right space. JYW highly recommends !

    I used to come here with work colleagues when it was Henry Hunan's. Really brought back a lot of old memories in the financial district. The place is newly remodeled, but the food was as delicious as ever. Ordered my usual broccoli beef over rice and still as good as I remembered. Will come back again, highly recommended

    #10Smoked Pork Bellybelly
    Laura C.

    Great spot with amazing family-style food for the price. Go with a group of friends and try the money eggs and smoked pork belly. Also enjoyed the bean curd dish but it was actually mapo tofu as opposed to the dry bean curd I was expecting. This is a casual spot where you pay up front at the cashier at the end of the meal. Perfect for a family home-style experience if you are on the go.

    #6Garlic Chicken (requested less sodium) Very tasty!
    Lisa X.

    Recently dined in and also tried delivery. Dine in was easy. Came in and ordered the Garlic Chicken Rice Plate and requested less salt. Paid and sat down. Incredibly fast, food was fresh and delicious. The restaurant looks clean and newly remodeled. It was so good that I thought about it days later and decided to try some more things, so we ordered delivery. This time we ordered the Hunan Dumplings, Mongolian Beef, Bean Curd with Meat Sauce (aka Mapo Tofu) with rice, and Dry Sautéed String Beans. All delicious but the Mongolian Beef was mostly onions and green onions as the beef was sliced very thinly. Will probably try more dishes in the future. Located on Sacramento St. between Kearny St. and Montgomery St.

    Little snot like string from our orange chicken. (From plate to fork)
    Laurel R.

    Carry out only place, apparently. The wait staffer clearly didn't want to help us. The orange chicken was over fried (a bit hard) and the consistency of the sauce was literally snot. It made little strings with each bite. The hot and sour soup was actually very good, but served room temperature.

    Had the sweet and sour chicken. It was tasty and under $20. Fast, friendly service. Solid spot.

    #12Mongolian Beef
    Carson M.

    Order at the counter and sit down. They give you a water cup for dining in. Ordered a Mongolian beef over rice for one and it came out within 10 minutes. The meal has a good spice to it, enough to make you want to take a sip of water here and there. The slices of beef are soft and on the smaller side. Plenty of green onion and regular onions. The overall dish was a bit salty - not sure if I can eat the dish itself without rice to tame the saltiness. Nice place for a quick bite to eat for lunch or after work.

    Interior - open kitchen concept No smell or smoke from the kitchen :)

    Is this restaurant part of the Henry's Hunan family with the same menu?

    Believe that it's a similar menu. Owned by one of the sons, I believe.

    Is the upstairs dining room handicap accessible? Have a group of nine of us, but two elderly people can't do stairs.

I actually didn't mind it at all because there was still enough space between everyone to have privacy. It also made the experience feel more social -- I ended up chatting with the people to my right and left about the food. Everything we ordered was really good. Their popular dry fried chicken absolutely lived up to the hype and was probably my favorite thing on the menu... besides the cherry pork. I feel like nobody talks about the cherry pork enough! It was SO good -- kind of like a sweet-and-sour pork without the sour. I dipped it in soy sauce because I loved the sweet and salty combo together. The dumplings were also really good. The wrapper was thin and delicious, but my boyfriend said he wished they had a little more protein filling and less leek. The green beans are always a hit. The only thing I probably wouldn't order again was the black bean sauce noodles. Maybe I just expected a different flavor, but to me they honestly tasted like regular lo mein. I'm also not a huge noodle person in general, so I'd probably skip them next time and order something else instead. Forgot to mention their prices are on point! Definitely recommend to any of the tourists. I think the weight is definitely worth it and I love being able to take home my leftovers and eating them for lunch and dinner the next day.

    WHAT A GEM in SF Chinatown!…read more Hubby secured hard to get reservations and the very next day, I see a friend post her visit on IG Stories. I asked her, "What's good?" Her response... "Everything!" That's all one needs to say. At the entrance, clearly marked are signs reading, "Reservations" and "Walk-ins". Since we had reservations, we waited only a few minutes to get seated at the bar. The bar makes it easy to converse with your partner and to peer over as the fire from the range springs up from the kitchen. Our server brought us some "Free Bites" of roasted peanuts and smashed cucumbers. She was such a pleasant lady with quite the wit that made me laugh between courses. We ordered a full bottle of Negori sake. Note: if you do not finish the sake bottle, they cannot pack it to go for you, so drink up! Obviously, we couldn't order everything on the menu. For our first visit, we definitely wanted their special dish, Fried Squab. It was delicious! The meat was moist and the dipping salt with Sichuan peppercorn paired perfectly! Just don't focus too much on the visual... the head and claws. Hot Mustard Jellyfish Salad ~ I loved the "crunch" of the jellyfish and the hot mustard marinade was just spicy enough to start a slow burn up the nose. Beef Chow Fun Noodles ~ Delicious and so very savory. I was amazed at how flavorful this dish was without being salty. Clay Pot Rice w/Chinese Sausage & Bacon ~ Loved how the entire pot was seasoned nicely. The sauce did not only sit at the top, but penetrated deep down into the rice. XO Escargot w/Milkbread ~ I've only had French Escargot and these are just as good, if not better! Fish Fragrant Eggplant ~ Another savory and very umami dish. Red Bean Shaved Ice ~ Always a refreshing dessert. Dig in for the surprise in the center. We had such a nice, cozy dinner here. Even while at the bar, we never felt for lack of space. They paced the dishes out perfectly, so there was always room to eat and enjoy. Looking forward to returning and trying more items on the menu.

The mixture of proteins was also tasteful. Now for the pork dumplings, the presentation was nice and also tasted great with nice hints of shrimp.
