Wilson Favre-DelerueAugust 16, 2017Tasty dishes without the heavy addition of MSG and flavouring agents found in so many other entry-level Chinese restaurants in SF. Excellent value for money and fast service make for great lunch spot.
Amazing authentic tasting dishes. Very affordable, family style dishes and friendly staff. Will custom spiciness of food from not-hot, mild-med, hot, or v. hot. v. hot = lots of whole dried chilis- Peter GazaryanJanuary 10, 2016Very good place, recommend if you like spicy and sour Hunan cusine. Definitely the best Chinese restaurant around Montgomery. Long lines at lunch time, so recommend to arrive at around 11:30.
Order the Meat Pie. (Yes, really..) Also, great dumplings too!
Michael AldereteJune 2, 2016Henry's Special is the obvious, and outstanding, choice. The Polish Sausage, Hunan Style is more surprising, and also excellent.
China Daily USAMay 18, 2011The authentic Hunan flavors may be spicy, but that's part of the experience. Don't miss the hot and sour soup and meat pies.
España SheriffDecember 1, 2012Fannish institution. This is where SFinSF holds pre-author event dinners. Food is pretty good, but it is particularly a good place for large groups during dinner (probably not for a short lunch).
- The Kung Pao beef and pork chow mein make a great combo. Authentic, fresh Hunanese.
Kung pao chicken was bland, everything else I've had here is great. My fave is five spiced bean curd
Joseph LeAugust 28, 2015Everything kind of tastes the same but the spicy dishes were good. Kung pao chicken was solid.
/Josh\ GoodmanSeptember 1, 2016Stellar food, but I think they forgot about us. We waited over 30 minutes to be served, though 3 tables seated after us all were served before us. That sucked, because the food really is amazing.
Andrew CerdaSeptember 9, 2013the kung pao chicken will knock your spicy socks off. highly recommended.
Try their Hunan specialties such as the smoked Hunan ham.
- Hot and sour soup is only $1 and fantastic! i like every dish, but my fave is the kung pao! harvest pork is good too
Andrew YeeFebruary 3, 2011Gets crowded during lunch, but slowly clears out around 1. Diana's meat pie is a must order
kim pannellFebruary 8, 2010It's packed at noontime, especially on Fridays. Come a little earlier or later (11:30 or 12:45) to avoid the wait.
An ShengJuly 17, 2017Been here twice, both times were bad. Food, atmosphere, service were all sub par

Henry’s Hunan is a family-owned business that started back in 1974 by Henry and Diana Chung. When the pair began missing the flavors of their hometown, they recreated its signature dishes and wanted to share it with the world...
