Hunan Home's Restaurant

Just ok Chinese restaurant near the financial district and located at China Town. Though the service is fast I am not impressed with the foods. I have been into a lot of Chinese restaurants and something is missing in the taste of their food. They have no outside sitting so if you don’t have a vaccination record to present you can’t inside.

Been coming here for a decade, first time back for lunch after pandemic and change in management a few years ago. Quite good! Generous portions of fresh-tasting scallops and shrimp, crispy peas and veggies. Will be back.

Delicious Chinese Food, Right off Chinatown. During the lunch or dinner rush, you’ll have to wait outside for a table, but they turn pretty quick. The place is packed with lots of happy customers eating yummy food and it can accommodate large and small parties. Right when you sit down, they offer you hot tea—a great way to start a meal. We started out with the Xiao Long Bao ($7), six dumplings, stuffed with ground pork, chicken broth, and peanut butter. Order ahead because they take about 10 minutes to prep and cook, but they’re worth it! They were supple and delicious. We also ordered the Sizzling Rice Soup ($8 for 2-3 people, $11 for 4-5 people), a soup with chicken, shrimp, vegetable, and served with fried golden rice crust. Unfortunately, it was underwhelming and had no sizzle. The flavors were OK, and probably needed to be served hotter to make the rice sizzle and pop. For our entrees, we ordered the Kung Pao Prawns ($16), prawns sautéed with green and red peppers, and peanuts. The sauce was on the sweet side and the dish had good flavors and vibrant, fresh veggies—not a bad dish at all, but nothing to write home about. We also ordered the Hunan Smoked Pork dish ($13), pork sautéed with cabbage, green peppers, leeks, served in the “chef’s hot sauce.” This dish had more flavors and was great, although the pork was over-cooked and came out tough—but it had a great smokey taste. The kids ordered a crowd-favorite, Cashew Nut Chicken ($13), diced chicken sautéed with celery and broccoli. For kids and those who want a milder entree, this is a good option. My only complaint was there were no broccoli! Overall, this is a good place to get Chinese food. Truth-be-told, I’m not a connoisseur of this cuisine, because I just eat at Chinese buffets. But I would recommend this place to anyone.

Last day before leaving, we decided to try some Chinese food in the famous China town. This place wasn’t too busy which we decided to gave it a shot. The service was not too fast which is a good sign as they prepared fresh. The environment was very traditional Chinese restaurant decor. The server was very friendly. The food itself was very good. Being a Chinese myself and lived in Toronto over 15 years, I have to say the food here is authentic. I would recommend some specialty dishes which can be spicy 🌶!

I asked my Hong Kong born host for some authentic Chinese food. This is where we went. I have had " Chinese" food in Europe..and this place topped them all hands down. Service was great quality and quantity was great too. The price was reasonable. Very good choice.. Bob the American

Ordered the duck with great expectations but I was given an over cooked, greasy and flavorless meat, if you pay attention to the photos I feel I got ripped off when they served just duck skin on my plate without meat underneath. Needless to say won't be back.

Great and attentive service and staff. Food was freshly prepared, served hot and fast. They were attentive to spice level and did a nice job preparing and serving delicious food.

This place is unreal! Such a ‘hole in the wall’ with absolutely amazing food. We got the onion pancakes, sweet and sour chicken, scallops, chicken fried rice, and beef broccoli with a bottle of hot sake and everything was better than the last! They serve complimentary hot tea as soon as you sit down and were really attentive!
