Mission Hunan

If you are looking for a good Chinese dish in the area, Mission Hunan is more than compliant. I tasted the fried rice combined with shrimp, chicken and pork, accompanied by the classic orange chicken, and was more than satisfied. The portions are generous, the taste is at its point and the texture of the crispy chicken with that sweet, sticky sauce is addictive. The rice is well seasoned, with a good amount of ingredients and nothing fatty. The service may improve a little bit in customer service, but if you come for the food, you will be happy. Ideal for fast and tasty food without spending much. 4 out of 5 stars would certainly come back.

Avoid this place at all costs. This was one of the most disgusting dining experiences I’ve ever had. I paid almost $15 for curry chicken and what I got was shameful — a plate of dried, hard rice with maybe 5 or 6 tiny pieces of old, stale chicken. The vegetables were clearly spoiled, like they came straight out of the garbage. Just look at the photo of the potato they served me — it was literally rotten. This restaurant doesn’t care about food quality, customer health, or basic respect. Save your money and go anywhere else.

Mission Hunan Restaurant’s most famous dish was the spicy crispy chicken over rice…it was crispy as described and the sauce was so 💣💣! My good friend got that bitter melon and he says it was very good, too! Being in the Mission area…got a little questionable. But one bite of that spicy crispy chicken…who cares anymore of the area! 😂😂😋😋 And oh….free soup too!

The food was OK. The service was TERREBLY aweful from the receptionist to the cleaner. Make sure you check the bill EXTREMEMLY carefully before making the payment (They calculated my bill by hand and gave me only the total number (which was wrong). They charge you $1 for the 2nd plastic takeaway container (although e got two leftover dishes)... The cleaner yelled at us when we used more another piece of napkin which we grabbed from the next table. She snapped us to tell us to ask HER PERMISSION to grab another napkin... Unbelievable service! SFO, 09/2022

They charge more than what’s written on the menu and then add additional unexplained fees on top. They don’t provide an itemized bill everything is calculated by hand, and they only give a handwritten total. The receipt is in Chinese only, with no English translation. I believe we were charged more than what we actually ordered, based on the handwritten total. The service is also poor. One of the waitresses yells at customers. The first time I visited, we paid the full bill and even left a tip, but the woman at the counter yelled at us as we were leaving, demanding more money. When we asked why, she couldn’t explain, the receipt had no breakdown or details. We ended up paying extra on top of the full total they gave us, plus a tip, and still don’t know what the additional charge was for. They do serve a complimentary soup with the meal, which is a nice touch. The food itself is good, and the portion sizes are generous. However, the terrible service and lack of pricing transparency make it hard to recommend dining in.

Excellent choices in food, Good price, and great location make this a great place to visit. Also the endorsement of locals who keep the place packed during high volume times speaks to just how this is. The wait staff is helpful and supportive and the food quite tasty. I particularly liked the spicy tofu. Highly recommended.

Great food..everything we orderedwas great....it would be better if they improve the actual place

They give you more food than you can possibly eat. Not a bad deal at all. They have a very good takeout business going. Food was fine.

THE "ORIGINAL" KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN The title of my review is a play on "The" Ohio State University. There's a difference of your favorite food of all time versus your favorite thing to eat at a restaurant. For the latter it's the Korean Fried Chicken at Mission Hunan Restaurant. This style of Korean Fried Chicken here is unlike other Korean fried chicken served at other Korean eateries. First the breading is thick and crispy. Second the portion of the chicken wings are huge. Third the sauce is gooey and sticky. The thick breading to withstand the gooey sauce is what makes this style of Korean Fried Chicken mouthwatering. The first time I ate Korean Fried Chicken at the Mission District wasn't at Mission Hunan Restaurant but at Ming's, which was a place my dad took my sister and me to eat while growing up. That was his favorite Chinese restaurant because of the Korean Fried Chicken. I came here tonight as I discovered Mission Hunan Restaurant will be closing its doors for good the day after Halloween. The restaurant will be replaced by housing. What makes up a community is a restaurant that has been opened for over 40 years like Mission Hunan Restaurant. It was a no-nonsense, blue-collar Chinese restaurant that didn't catered to customers to be trendy. You came here to eat not mingle. The only restaurant in San Francisco (and most likely in the Bay Area) that serves this "style" of Korean Fried Chicken is New Ming's located at SoMa. I'm going to miss Mission Hunan Restaurant for one reason - Korean Fried Chicken.

It's hard to miss this workaday spot. I've walked by it for years because it's just outside the beleaguered 16th Street BART station crowded with street denizens who may or may not be bumming you for change. I had honestly never been tempted to come here because I just figured it was one of those mediocre Chinese takeout places. However, I had a real hankering for Chinese-style fried rice one evening, so I steeled myself and ordered the $15.88 Combination Fried Rice (photo: https://yelp.to/W6j4Ny96RQ). Even though the ingredients were predictable, the execution was actually good. It definitely hit the spot for me. Thinking I needed a veggie side, I also ordered the $15.25 Hot Spiced String Beans (photo: https://yelp.to/QYSaW3rWnQ). Definitely a portion for more than one, the full tray of beans was pretty much what I expected. It was pretty oily though the beans still had enough texture to make it satisfy as a complement to the fried rice. As part of my takeout order, I also got a cup of the Egg Drop Soup (photo: https://yelp.to/B3mtnUw9vT). Kinda lukewarm but I appreciated the gesture. Four stars? Sure, why not? FOOD - 4 stars...hey, when your expectations are low... AMBIANCE - 3 stars...well worn in here SERVICE - 3.5 stars...pretty darn efficient TOTAL - 4 stars...if you really want better-than-average fried rice RELATED - Exploring the Mission?

Very very bad service people and ask for more tips money, they cursed at you in Chinese when you don't give them more tips money

I didn't they were so rude to me when I stepped into the restaurant and very very racist. Dad, I had to turn around and leave the restaurant. That employee had zero professionalism. Zero care for any other person. It looks like the way she spoke to me, it was really degrading and sad. John

Me and two other people got food poisoning from their beef chowmein, thanks guys. Not exactly a great experience.

12/12/24, Mission Hunan has the best Chinese food in all of Northern California bar none !!! I admit that my last order at HUNAN was not 100% because I received an incorrect item. However, the food was supremo-O then and today !!!

I was having a bad day at at my Chinese restaurant closest to my house. My wonton was terrible with thick skin and no meat. So I have to fix my craving by going Mission Hunan. Their combination wonton is full of wontons and veg. The portion is twice as big but the price is the same as my local restaurant. The Mongolian and kung Pao is not bad here. It is conveniently located close to bus stop and BART even though it is not close to my house, I would go to Mission Hunan.

I wouldn't recommend this place anymore , my mom and I have been ordering from this place for over 10 years. I guess all good things come to an end, quality has been down for a while now but I always give it a chance. Every order I have gotten is just bland and with no color, I have always given this place the benefit of a doubt and I will just be charging back now for undercooked food. This is just incredibly sad as I said before I grew up coming to this place.

The food is so so but waitresses ask for a lot of tips. They need to learn how to treat customer. They are not polite. The tipis is about 10% to 18% that's legal. Ambient is too bad. Stink too much.

Good food, quick service. Menu a little limited, specializes in the kung pao/Mongolian end of things. Quality ingredients, well cooked. Big hunks of fairly tender beef in the beef dishes; the seafood ones are a bit more subtle, and lightly flavored: the chili sauce on the table (or on the next table) is made for that. Serves rice plates all day, not just at lunch: this is a hearty amount of entree and a hearty amount of good steamed rice on the same plate. Exceedingly convenient location for me, a few steps from the 16th Street Mission BART station, which is where I usually transfer from BART to the bus, so I can always stop here when time is tight. It is, as anyone who's been around here knows, a more than colorful neighborhood, and occasionally there's the spectacle of the staff asking certain customers to pay when they order and the customers arguing about it. But none of this has ever interfered with me as another customer.

Almost 4 star-ish. Good: food, super yum, love the general chicken Weird: dynamic pricing depending upon the day Ugly: some days, my over rice plate seems like an all rice plate lol But always budget-friendly good.

Delicious shrimp chow fun, and you can't beat the price anywhere! It came with plenty of shrimp but wasn't too greasy either. You can't beat that wok hei flavor!

I was ordered during dinner time from UberEat, the food was terrible, 1st dish was general tso's chicken, it was not crunchy and over sauced, I had this dish before but there was late afternoon time, 2nd dish was fried stuffed bean curd, it was tasteless and deep fried too long and burnt. I guess I won't order from this place again in my life.

Food is kinda bland. However, for the price the portions are really big. Service was quick and to the point.

I love it they won a ton of soup really good .... Good service ............,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the restaurant is good, ..I always take for to go...... ........,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,......................................................,,,,,,,

I went to Mission Hunan with a friend recently. It is a hole in the wall that serves authentic, affordable, tasty, and filling Chinese food. We decided to order family style ordering: two kinds of mushroom (straw & shiitake) with bean curd Hunan Braised Spicy Eggplant rice Heaps of food. Tasty. The eggplant wasn't too spicy and kicked it up a notch with some hot sauce on the side. Mushrooms and bean curd were flavorful. We both had enough to take home for another meal. We both enjoyed it. Recommended! We'll be back.

Food is great really good taste Customer service on the other hand is horrible went in with my family of 8 Asked for a big table so we can all sit together got it but the lady threw the chairs witch was totally uncalled for we ordered 6 plates of food and I guess is one soup per plate so my 2 other family members didn't get any when commented about that the lady told us in a very rude way that it was one per plate Some food came out pretty quick when we were almost done with the 1st round we asked the lady how long would the other food take she smacked her lips and walked away Brought the food like 5 minutes later and threw it and she shoved into my grandma and niece to get in between them to put the food didn't apologize or nothing but left the food on the table When we asked for the bill they brought it super quick with a bunch of fortune cookies which was great but added their own tip which was $30 We usually tip but for some horrible customer service we would never tip that much when we asked them why would they add their own tip if tip is not mandatory she said because it's a party of 6 which I get but nowhere on the menu does it say that "tip is included with a party of 6+" Overall I would totally recommend the food but wouldn't recommend dining in unless you want horrible customer service

The food is alright with good portions. I sat in and got free soup. After I ate, she indicated that I needed to tip at least 15% for dining in. I explained that tipping is voluntary out of generosity and she said that it's more of a service charge. She wound up checking 15% and then told me leave. I felt a little confused, and to be honest, a little angry. I feel like I got two dollars taken from me without my consent. I'm not sure if it's a cultural thing or what, but I'm not coming back.

horrible service as someone who wanted to try new Chinese food near me (maybe 4 blocks away) I stumbled upon this place. First time i ordered mongolian beef with fried rice plater but it came with shrimp and unfortunately I'm allergic so didn't touch the rice at all no complaints completely my fault so I ordered a different order of rice and I hear "aI ya" in a mean tone which was completely uncalled for (esp since I paid for the new side of rice??). Anyways ordered here maybe 4 other times but the last 2 times (which would've made it 6 total) I had to cancel my order through the food because once again hearing them complain in their native language to each other, smack their lips, continue to cut me off mind sentence, just shi**y customer service and completely uncalled for ESPECIALLY if I have came back every Friday back to back and they continue to have a horrible attitude and when paying total comes out to roughly 19.95, I tip $4 always and past couple of times since I've "wrote too little" they've stopped me and told me to leave a tip and I've replied I did it's there but once again uncalled for and tipping isn't mandatory. wanted to be a regular here but looks like that's not happening.

Like "free soup" every lunch order!! I am a soup person especially in winter. Love all their soup comes free for my lunch.

Really authentic Cantonese food in San Francisco. The wor won ton and the house fried rice were delicious. The beef chow fun was excellent Whenever I work near here. This is my go to spot

great food, great prices. Mission Hunan delivers consistently delicious Chinese food at fantastic prices. The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and the flavors are authentic. Whether you're craving classic dishes like General Tso's Chicken, flavorful Kung Pao Shrimp, or comforting fried rice, they never disappoint. Service is quick and friendly, making it a great spot for takeout or a casual dine-in meal. The balance of quality, taste, and affordability is unbeatable. If you're looking for tasty, satisfying Chinese food without breaking the bank, Mission Hunan is the perfect choice!

We have ordered from Mission Hunan Restaurant several times, & have always had Delicious Food & The portions are very good. Thats why we always go back for more The Service on the delivery is spot on. We have it Delivered to our home the ambiance There is great. Thank mission Hunan for. Another great meal. We'll be seeing you again Soon. Thank You

Overall: 4/5 Solid Chinese food place, good pricing. The mission isn't an area I'd normally go to, but if in the area and eating out, I'd eat here. Food: 4/5 Decent Chinese food. Not the best I've had (China has the best Chinese food, obviously), but I wasn't disappointed. Easily better than "American Chinese" takeout spots. Value: 5/5 Portions are above average. Pricing is on the low side. Combined together, this is a good value. $10-$15 range for an individual in SF is solid. Service: 4/5 Decent. Efficiency/speed was somewhat above average. Friendliness was average. Due to location they have a largely non-Chinese clientele.

I ordered Mission Hunan on DoorDash, it was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. My go to Chinese spot in San Francisco was Hunan's home in Chinatown before the original one closed. The wonton soup and chow fun were phenomenal admission Hunan and the portions were huge! Will definitely be back !

I got delivery from my childhood neighborhood Chinese restaurant. I remember they having legit food . Now I had delivery from Mission Hunan and the wonton soup was so delicious and the portions were so generous. One of the best Wor Wonton soups I ever had in San Francisco. Good wonton for the evening.

Not in the greatest part of town. Food is sub par and staff is somewhat friendly. Place has dated furniture and they leave the door open so there are flies hovering over the tables. A little over priced for what they serve. You can find cheaper and better eats in the city.

I ordered 4 dishes through Ubereats for delivery: chicken wings, Peking pork chops, fish fillet with mixed veggies and combination seafood with pan fried noodles. Total was about $45 which was enough for 6-7 meals. The chicken wings had broken bones in them. Some of the joints were not cut nicely. It was crispy but tasted plain. It did come with the same sweet and sour sauce for the Peking pork chops to dip in. The Peking pork chop was good, I've never actually had bad ones before. I wish the gravy, veggies and meat were in a separate container from the noodles. Only a few pieces of the edges remained crispy during delivery. The rest were soaked up by the gravy. I do like that they are generous with the amount of protein and veggies in each dish.

Wait, wait, wait... Chinese food lunch specials for UNDER $10? ...In the Mission??? Oh, I'm GAME! Where else can you find a deal like this in the area? Okay, okay... maybe you CAN find it elsewhere, but the food here is yummy and a definite deal for what you get. It was Sunday and we were... you guessed it; hangry. Because, I'm ALWAYS... yep, you guessed it again: hangry!!! Not wanting to spend an arm and a leg on lunch in the city, we decided to look up some spots for cheap eats. Since we were hangin' out in the Mission, we decided to see what was close by. Mission Hunan popped up in the search and looked pretty good, so headed down the street to try it out. It's definitely not the fanciest place in the world, but it's very open and filled with tons of tables. We took a seat and were given menus. To our surprise, they were still serving lunch at 3:00pm on a Sunday. Say whaaaat?? Hook me up with that cheapness, Bae! Lunch here is served daily from 10:30 am - 3:30 pm, and most plates are priced under $10! Yep, you heard me right! Sometimes, it's good to give your pockets a break by taking advantage of the great little cheapy deals. Their lunch specials come with steamed white rice, a cup of their soup of the day, hot tea, and one entrée. Not bad for lunch! We ordered the broccoli shrimp and kung pao lunch specials and a side of spring rolls to share. Their soup of the day was vegetable egg drop which was very flavorful and served piping hot. Both of the kung pao chicken and broccoli shrimp entrees tasted very good. The kung pao had a nice subtle spiciness and the shrimp were nice and plump. The spring rolls were a huge miss and I wouldn't recommend them. The filling just tasted... weird. It tasted like it had been frozen. I would skip the spring rolls and stick to the entrees. I wished that they had the option to get fried rice since I prefer this over white rice. In general, the food was tasty and filling for the price. Service was so-so but still adequate. Parking is a bit tough since it's street parking only, but there's a large lot that's one or two blocks behind the building if you don't mind walking a bit. Mission Hunan has some great lunch specials and I would definitely return for a cheap and filling lunch.

Service super sweet. We asked for food to go they gave us the table Next to the fish tank and gave us soup and tea for free. This is definitely old school asan Francisco City roots!

Can't say enough about this place. Ladies are great. No nonsense, just good service. Food is always plentiful and good!!!

I had the Mongolian Beef here from recommendation from the server and it was delicious! That being said, don't come here expecting the best Chinese food you've ever had or the 100% most authentic. The meal started off with a soup, which I was expecting a hot and sour for, but it ended up being a variation of minestrone soup. It was still good tasting, just a bit unexpected and odd at the same time. The Mongolian Beef was good though, very well made with a great selection of vegetables and a good flavor throughout. They also served the dish with a ton of rice, so it was easy to get really fully by the end of it. And at about ~$10 total it was a rather reasonably priced meal.

So many yummy menu items to select from. I've eaten inside the restaurant for lunch and service was quick. Recently I've been ordering delivery and it also arrived quickly and warm too.

While it's definitely not as gritty as it used to be, I admit I don't make it a point to spend much time around this part of the Mission. Ditto for the likes of the Tenderloin and mid-Market. That being said, I can certainly be swayed by the prospect of trying something new and/or delicious (the things I'd do for good food...), even when they aren't the trendiest spots or sitting on my list of (endless) bookmarks. I just might be less excited, that's all... Since one of my relatives was impressed by the food at Mission Hunan, as well as their friendly prices, we decided to check them out despite how they're a bit out of the way for us. As I looked over the menu though, as well as what others around us were having, nothing really stood out. There may be a lot to choose from (including a variety of noodle dishes, clay pots, and sizzling platters), but most of their offerings are standard dishes, with nothing that seemed particularly special worth trying. Spoiler alert - none of the dishes we ordered were either. -- BEEF WITH BROCCOLI...$10.28 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mission-hunan-restaurant-san-francisco?select=6ypnRSTWKsezMvMLeYRfoA) Certainly not the sexiest or most interesting dish you'll find on the menu (here or anywhere), but this actually wasn't bad. Not amazing, but not bad. The slices of beef were more soft than chewy and the broccoli was fresh and bright. A shame that the portion size was a bit light, though. -- TWICE COOKED PORK with String Beans...$10.28 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mission-hunan-restaurant-san-francisco?select=opf-fMwjc0upUE86SEJJBg) Compared to our Beef with Broccoli dish, this felt like a much better value. However, I can't say this one tasted as good. The string beans, carrots, and onions were fine, but the sauce was too sweet for me. What's more, the pork was uneven - some pieces were hard, others were okay. -- BEEF STEW CLAY POT...$12.88 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mission-hunan-restaurant-san-francisco?select=O12WG-_rm0S-IbRgANYcxQ) While I liked how juicy the mushrooms were and how flavorful the sauce was, I don't get why so much of the beef was torn up. Sure, it was better than getting chunks of dry, tough meat, and the pieces that were intact were pretty tender, but most of this felt like a big, gloppy mess. Like my relative, a lot of the positive reviews from Yelp friends seemed to give Mission Hunan high marks for their value (at least, as of 7-8 years ago). Though that might still be the case with their daily lunch specials and rice plates (they seemed pretty reasonable), I'd respectfully disagree in regards to what we had. By no means are they pricey, but I feel like a lot of my usual haunts in the Richmond and the Sunset offer so much more - whether it's in terms of value, convenience, or flavor. Meh...one less reason to come back here.

The Hot and Sour soup has three times the amount of salt that is normal. The Moo Shu is over salted They had tons of scallions even though I stated no onions. I just literally had to throw the $40 worth of food (3 items plus cost of delivery) in the trash. My neighbor has high blood pressure so refused the food.

Wow! And I eat a lot of Chinese food and it is so hard to find really good Chinese food but this was da best.We had the Mongolian beef with fried rice. It included: beef, red and green pepper, shrimp, zucchini, onions, green onions. Yellow onions, carrots, peas etc. The beef is seared, dark and delicious !

food is good but the prices is crazy also she was asking were was the tips Shrimp Wonton Noodle soup $11.88 Shrimp Fried Rice $10.88 Chicken chow Mein $10.88 and 4 Cans of soda $2.50 each Total $43.64 I try to believe $9.11 was for Tax Plus Tips

I give this restaurant 5 stars for the food alone. Generous portions and good prices. The food is excellent. Great for take out. It's not the best atmosphere for dine-in, but they've recently added some outdoor seating.

I have been waiting for 1hour and then still waiting for my order. They take dine in clients after I arrived, and they are all eating. My order is call in but they did the orders dine in first if dine in came. If you want to order to go, call 1 and half hours before you go to pick up.

This is my go to Chinese restaurant in the mission district. The food is good and not too pricey (for SF). My dad love loves the pan fried noodles with three meat (chicken, beef and pork) and I love the potstickers! So tasty and huge. I read some reviews on here that stated "it's not the best, but the food is good..."I think that's because it's a whole in the wall. There are no decorations or ambiance but the food is good. I usually take it to go but I have eaten there once. I have no doubt that if it was in a different area (16th/Mission) and if the restaurant was decorated the reviews would be way higher! I would definitely give it a try and I will continue having this be my go to place.

This is what you expect when you go out for Chinese lunch. A big list of lunchtime specials for under $9 that come with rice, soup and fortune cookie! After egg drop soup, with bits off chicken and roasted corn, I was served a larger plate of shrimp and green vegetable. For me, the chile sauce was key to full enjoyment. It's a thick, red sauce, tangy and full of pepper seeds. I had to take half of it home - with plenty of chile sauce.

This place is on my way home. Yes is a greasy spoon but they make their own won tons for the soup and potstickers , they are inexpensive and give you a lot of food. It's my go to for local Chinese food

Where to start? Soup (picture included) was served cold, I think was egg drop soup. Then came egg rolls (picture) those were fine, a different kind of wrap and no meat, just over cooked cabbage and mushrooms. Finally came general tso chicken (pictured) which was sweet and sour sauce with some garlic (off putting taste and texture) and some kind of fried chicken, I did not care for their fried chicken and the white rice that came with smelled like wet paper towel and was not sticky rice, but lose I choose not to eat any. I also ordered sui mai and theirs were not appetizing to me. Their hot sauce (pictured below) looked off and tasted like bbq sauce, a nasty combination. an underwhelming but expensive experience.

Delicious and vegetarian/vegan friendly options. I love their skinny noodle chowmein and I get tofu in any sauce option available. My favorite choices have always been: Szechuan Sweet and sour Korean Etc. So basically try anything you like with deep fried tofu and you won't be disappointed.

The food is very good, only the womens are not friendly at all, they almost throw the food on my table and in the end they demand a tip despite their bad service.

The food is tasting good but the price is not... I just dont like it when they told me that one of my orders will take 20-30 mins. to be ready and I said its fine, until I waited almost an hour for it.... The location is convenient though cos its just right next to 16th st. mission BART, and other muni bus lines.

If you want Gettho low quality Chinese food with big portions and want to be yelled at by two Chinese lady's who shush and interrupt you / TELL you you have to tip and argue with you for no reason, While chewed gum falls on your lap from under the table while you're eating. Then this is your place!

My boss and I were gossiping about good food. He told me that this Hunan restaurant on 16th and Mission makes good food with big portions at an affordable price. "Conversation like what we had is another way to make you hungry!" Obviously I like the "good food with big portions at an affordable price" part. But I don't like that particular busy area. However I am a city worker, who goes, eat and yelp everywhere in the city and county. But a few days after our conversation, I finally made my way to the busy area for lunch. The time I was there at 12:20pm, the restaurant was surprisingly not busy at all and I was seated immediately. I was looking at the posted lunch special for that day, which is the honey walnut prawn with fried rice for $6.50. Yummy right? But I am allergic to all shellfishes and ask for a substitution meal. Instead the lady gave me a Chinese-style fried chicken over vegetable chow mein for $6.00. I get cut up fried chicken parts. Like most poultry dishes, the chicken meat was dry. But the outer layer very crispy though. The Chinese pasta was not too oily and not too dry. I like the restaurant's pasta dish and come back just for that particular pasta. Free soup is also included with the meal. For the affordable price, the portion was indeed HUGE! My dish: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mission-hunan-restaurant-san-francisco?select=3dL_ZeiKijsSG3b_r3FSMg#agKI1_RuQ80Uqhj7MjatiA As I was eating my meal, I was looking at the restaurant's aquarium. How calm and relaxing to look at! Aquarium: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mission-hunan-restaurant-san-francisco?select=3dL_ZeiKijsSG3b_r3FSMg#BKf3j-7dotDgDgU2TNGjow The area is not the safest. But the food is super cheap with big portions.
