I used to go to Henry Hunan in the financial district all the time. Like others have said, I believe it is owned by the same family, so some of the dishes might be the same, I only had the fried rice. I didn't have time to go to there today, and this restaurant came up on Yelp. The fried rice is what I remembered at Henry Hunan.

We were looking for a Hunan restaurant because we were craving spicy food and this place didn't disappoint! Food(5/5): The spicy dishes are really good but definitely very spicy! It's really flavorful though and the meat is tender. Good portions for sharing as well, I suggest ordering 2-3 dishes to share. Service(5/5): the staff there is really friendly and I notice they sometimes have conversations with their customers so it feels really personal. Ambiance(5/5): it's a small restaurant but there's a lot of seating and it's not busy during dinner time.

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.

If you're looking for Hunan style Chinese food, this definitely is the place to be. They have two menu, the Chinese menu and the English menu, ask for the Chinese menu because the spice level is much spicier. The restaurant is nice and clean with an upper level for additional seatings for bigger parties. Is the upper levels ada accessible? Not really, its a flight of stairs but the first floor seating should hopefully accommodate that. The staff all are very sweet and diligent. They work fast and I cant even imagine carrying all that food up those stairs. Highly recommend for anyone looking for spicy Hunan style Chinese food.

Great fish and noodles! The spot of perfect for a quick meal in FiDi! The service was very fast and I highly recommend coming for some comfort food!

tldr; fast and casual dining space with surprisingly pricey but small entree options -- with that being said, other dishes might be better than the ones we ordered price: ~$20/pp My friend and I were pretty hungry around dinner time and ducked into Sohunan for some quick and casual eats. One of the other former Henry's Hunan locations in SOMA was one of our favorite dining experiences to date, so we were excited to try out this rendition. It was peak dinner hour in Chinatown on a Friday, and nearby restaurants were all pretty packed, including this one! We were lucky enough to nab two counter seats walking in. The food here was solid, but given the casual environment and relatively high prices for portions that are not that large, I was hoping to enjoy the dishes more. The spicy cod was a bit dry, with the price of the entree totaling about $2-3 per piece of cod. However, the extra rice here was a huge portion that could feed more than two people at $3 a bowl, which I rarely see at other restaurants. Competition is incredibly tough and expensive in SF's Chinatown because there are so many restaurants with a vast variety of food options. Despite our experience, it looks like other reviewers have really enjoyed the other dishes at this place, so it's definitely still worth a try! Service here was friendly and quick. We had no trouble moving from the counter to a normal table once space cleared up.

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.

Tasty AF Mongolian beef See photo!! Spicy. Savory proper temperature taste and texture Hungry hangry at 2:30pm Totally hit the spot! jYW recommends

A new restaurant that only opened for 9 months. Offer very reasonably priced lunch (over rice) for people who work in Downtown and Chinatown. My friend and I went in for dinner. Dinner dish portion is ok, 2 people should order 3 dishes or 2 dishes and 1 soup to be full. Price is still reasonable, especially considering it is situated on the border of Fidi. Love that they have a separate menu for Chinese customers, certain authentic hunan dishes that only Chinese normally would enjoy! (Although you can adjust spicy level to be mild for all dishes). We only ordered from the Chinese menu. The hot and sour soup is very good, it's more sour and spicier than regular hot and sour soup, which is how I like it. 8/10 The salt and pepper spare ribs came out to be a little bit surprising. We thought it would be fried and dry. But it is actually not. It's more like a stir fry dish, but the flavor is very good. 9/10 The money egg is a human dish I've never tried before, even in China. But it looks very interesting. I think the egg was steamed and peeled first but then deep fried so the exterior is a bit crispy. It's very flavorful. 9/10 Overall: 8.5/10 No

Came here for lunch on a weekday. Staff were Chinese and the restaurant seemed quite authentic. Food: 4 Decor: 3 Service: 4 #10_Smoked Pork Belly, 15 Sliced smoked pork belly sautéed with bamboo shoots, bell peppers, onions, sliced carrots, and hot pepper sauce. The most popular dish in Hunan ~4/5. Was worried it would be too spicy, but actually it was just right. Pork belly was sliced thin and nicely smoked, and the veggies were crunchy and complemented well. #21_Steamed Rice, 3 Service was good for a casual dine-in spot. Would definitely come by again.
