Classic Chinatown restaurant. It is an old feeling establish with dated decor. Upstairs, there's karaoke. The menu is mainly family style dishes or hot pot. There's only one page for noodles and rice dishes on the menu for single diners. I had the spicy wonton with chili oil $10 and a seafood pan fried noodle $15. The spicy wontons is low on spice heat scale but good spicy. My crispy Hong Kong style noodles had good wok flavor with huge pieces of fish, shrimps and squid. The only drawback is they drowned it in sauce making it not crispy anymore. Rookie mistake. Service was excellent as I was the only downstairs customer at 9:30pm. Well done staff at Hunan House.
We visited this place during our road trip to San Francisco with a thought that this place might be a good choice since it’s not easy to make authentic Hunan food. It was stem winding, really, along with their quick serving and perfect seasoning. We only ordered two dishes, Mapo tofu and sweet and sour pork due to low attendance, however, those two dishes were very tasty for eating rice with. I have been Hunan so I know what I’m talking about. Also it’s shocking that the owner is actually from Hong Kong.
There are 6 potstickers per plate, but my friend and I dugged in before I realized I hadn't taken a photo yet lol. Very good. I got the wonton dumplings, and we shared the potstickers and Shanghai steamed dumplings. He got the combo fried rice and loved it! We loved our food! Great service too!
Good food, fast waitresses. Made disabled accommodations easily. Normal hole in the wall decor.

Food: Pretty good. We ordered a lot of dishes and the Ginger and Scallion Lamb was our favorite. It was really well seasoned and sometimes crispy. The only bad dish was the Garlic Pork with bamboo since for me it had a bad aftertaste. 👎
Service: if you don't speak any Chinese or Cantonese might be a bit difficult. The restaurant itself also had a cigarette smell cause of the other customers.
Recommendation, get take out! Food is pretty good 👍
What a great Chinatown find! Excellent food true to Hunan province. Duck feet excellent. Deep fried green beans, onion pancake, spicy fish soup Hunan style excellent.
It’s pretty authentic Chinese food here. As someone who spent her time in Hunan in the summer and winter holidays, I would say this is excellent. You’ve got the deep fire, the bombastic taste and ancient murals on the wall. It’s old and generations. They got the Lao Huo (old fire) burning here. I like their pork belly rice plate. It comes with soup. Make sure you ask for it :)
Timing of appetizers was spot on, hot, totally welcomed and oh so good. The green scallion pancake was amazing along with beef scallion pancake as well. seasoned and extremly crispy, the marinated tofu was silky. OH SO GOOD!
This was the best Chinese food I ever had in my life. Right in the middle of China town, San Francisco, it serves amazing Chinese food. As soon as you enter, you will realize by seeing the jam packed crowd. Interior is all red and quite cluttered ambience. Staff is friendly. Not super clean but cleaner than other China town restaurants. Prices are normal. We were two persons and ordered three ,four items. We paid $45 including tips. I would definitely recommend it and would love to go here again just for the taste of their food.
Hidden Gem in San Francisco's Chinatown. Visiting from out of town and stopped to try it out. They have amazing food! We ordered lamb skewers, dim sum, & sweet and sour chicken. Definitely will be back next time we're in the area!
Only took one pic of the sweet and sour chicken b/c we were too hungry lol
This place is great. Super friendly staff.
The food came out quick and hot.
Would def venture back here next time we’re in town.
The also ordered Mongolian beef, fried rice, potstickers and wonton soup.
We had zero leftovers for our party of 5
Food was delicious. Their hot &sour soup may be the best I have tasted. Menu is mostly a la carte (which wasn't clear to me when reading it). Service started great but left us disappointed. We were seated quickly and served tea right away. After we ordered, we were mostly ignored which would have been fine if they hadn't forgotten a couple of the items we ordered. Prices and portion size are pretty reasonable. Also, both bathrooms were pretty gross.
We have never tried Hunan-style food so we ordered the Hunan pork ribs. So flavorful, perfect amount of spicy, delicious! It's definitely something we don't have back home in the Midwest where Chinese restaurants typically tone down all the flavoring for the sake of white Midwestern taste which prefers more bland food. The only thing to note about this dish is that it looks like a large dish that can feed two people but it can only feed one. Most of it is fried peppers. We also got the dumplings which were very good.
The food was amazing, we had sweet and sour chicken, orange peel chicken, sesame chicken and shrimp in lobster sauce, all were delicious especially the latter. Highly recommended for dinner. Also, Tsingtao beer went really well with the food. The service was nice, they serve tea upon sitting down as well.
