"Hunan specialties are, predictably, the headliner at Henry’s Hunan, a Noe Valley spot that’s been around in one form or another at multiple locations throughout the city for 50 years. This quiet outpost (the Yerba Buena one is still run by Henry’s grandson) is where to go for flaky onion pancakes, scallops in black bean sauce, and shredded pork with mushrooms and egg—the portions are big enough to feed a clan of voracious bear cubs." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
