Hunan Yuan

Pretty Decent Food. I really like most of everything I have ordered. Great Flavor and Excellent Service. Quiet little place to sit down and enjoy a meal or even great to go..

Hidden gem! Food is so tasty! Love their sizzling rice soup, egg fooyoung, salt & pepper fish etc. They also serve two beer brands.

This is another one of the best chinese food restaurants I've tried. The Sizzling rice soup and the salt and pepper crispy pork chop brought my family and back to nostalgia! Those two dishes that I grew up with when eating Chinese food but hasn't been found in so long until we went to this location. This is now our new other favorite Chinese restaurant, we have another one we go to in Oakland, so now we have two new favorite Chinese restaurant in Oakland. We will be back, especially on Sundays after church when we're craving these two dishes. See you soon Hunan Yuan!! :)

Looking for a hidden gem Chinese restaurant? Here it is! Hunan Yuan has the BEST honey walnut prawns because YOU CAN ALSO GET FISH!! I always get the combo prawns and fish 🤤 it’s my favorite! When I order on Uber Eats or something, they are quick with bringing out the food and dining in is quick too. Ask for the hot tea, it’ll get you right for your meal. Like dry fried ribs? Try the fried pork chop, it’s HELLA good, it’s like big pieces of dry fried ribs that got some kick. Chow fun and the combo fried rice are the sides and the salt/pepper chicken wings schmack with company. Broccoli beef is tender and the Chinese greens are delicious with garlic. I’ve been coming here for years and finally leaving a review since I want them to win and have more business. I’ll remember to take some photos next time since I always dig in and forget until it’s half gone! They’re tucked behind the Peets and Jamba Juice near the dry cleaners. Maybe I’ll run into someone with the honey walnut prawn and fish combo and know the good work has been done *nodding head in proud accompaniment*

The food here is always excellent. The only thing we ever got that we didn't like was the hot and sour soup, as we thought it too sweet. The restaurant can be hard to find. It is around the back of the building from the parking lot. There is wheelchair access to the left and stairs to the right. The majority of the seating is inside with one table outside.

Even better than I remember it. Try the fish in garlic sauce - probably not your regular order but it will become a new favorite. I also love the wanton soup and green onion pancakes. Great service, and the food is always fresh and delicious. So glad to have them back.

The waitstaff are excellent and have been there for years. You can always rely on them. The setting is relaxed and peaceful. The food is delectable. The prices are very reasonable.

Always good food. Prices are more than some, but the quality is good. Food is quality, staff is always pleasant. Not nearly as salty or greasy as lots of other "cheap" places. We always come here when we want healthier, quick, options.

Excellent neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Dishes are very good--tasty and well proportioned with lots of selection. Prices are reasonable. Staff is personable and attentive. Outdoor seating is great for dogs. We dine here often and have always had a great experience!

Lunch time is my favorite. Quiet ambience, one of the few restaurants in the East Bay where I can actually hear so well! I have ordered many things on the menu and never have been disappointed. The service is attentive and friendly. Good too, for a larger group. And I like the view of the green and peaceful hillside.

Hard to find place behind the building. Chicken wings tasted slightly bitter. Either bad or old wings. But nothing like what fresh chicken wings I’ve had at any other chinese restaurant. Beef and broccoli at least had well cooked broccoli, unlike some places that serve semi-raw. But they skimped on the sauce. Usually should have oyster/soy sauce perhaps thickened with starch. But this was very bland. Just add more sauce to beef and broccoli.

I've had much better for a lot less money elsewhere. The sesame chicken was bland and the sauce was very soupy. I've been other places that give you white rice with entrees which would've helped to soak it up, but this place doesn't do that. I ordered veggie fried rice with it, which I also thought was bland, but it at least helped soak up the soupy sauce. Maybe this place skimps on takeout orders compared to eating there, but I'd try a different place if I were you.

Based on only three dishes we were not impressed. The food seemed not to be prepared with very much effort, or love. It could have been an off night for the cook, but we’ve had a couple of similar experiences in the past. But it’s been a while so we thought we give them another try. Sad to say, I don’t think we’ll be back again.

I ordered shrimp chow fun. They use some kind of preservative to make the shrimps crunchy but smells like ammonia/pee. It was disgusting and I felt really sick afterwards

We ordered simple stuff (orange chicken, spring rolls, broccoli, & veg chow fun) to try this place out for the first time. Unfortunately no one liked any of the food.
