Sohunan of Henry's Hunan

When I'm anywhere else, outside of San Francisco, and someone says, "hey you wanna get Chinese?"...it's places like this that I'm thinking of. I can't for the life of me understand why no one can make good Chinese food except Chinese restaurants in this city. The dumplings were delicious and the garlic chicken over steamed rice was excellent. The ambiance was basic, and the service was pretty formulaic. He literally just took my order and ran my card. I wouldn't go so far as to say they're rude, just not particularly welcoming or social. But then again, I came here specifically to get delicious Chinese food and that's what I got. If you're looking for a cozy, delightful setting this isn't it, but if your priority is really good Chinese food then absolutely you're in the right place.

Atmosphere on second floor is very well-designed but they don't send customers up unless you order 4 dish or more. Manager will check your order to make a deicision to send you upstairs or not despite the first floor is full. Servers are attentive but the male manager/owner is very rude, using an index finger to make other employees and customers to come to him like calling a dog. Only decent food was Hunan dumplings, which was moist and had a kick. Both Hunan Pork and Mongolian beef were extremely salty without character, and no effort was done to remove the smell of pork meat. Noodle was okay but nothing special, lacking flame taste from green onions and burnt soy sauce.

TLDR: pork was tasty but there was way more rice than pork and hot and sour soup was inedible I ordered a lunch portion of the pork and honestly it looked half and half when I got the box but then I realized there was rice under the pork too so it was really like 3/4 white rice and 1/4 pork. The pork itself was tasty and spicy without being overwhelming. The biggest drawback was the hot and sour soup. It was so salty that I took one sip and couldn’t drink anymore

Stopped in for lunch on a sunny, Saturday afternoon. Dining room is small, functional and most importantly, clean. Service was prompt and courteous. We had the dumplings, orange chicken, pork fried rice, and beef chow mein. Everything was fresh and delicious. Though similar, the dumplings were far superior to the traditional pot sticker — the exterior was firm yet delicate and perfectly thin, and the filling was packed with flavor. Similarly the orange chicken was a standout — generous bite size pieces of crunchy yet succulent chicken bathed in a well balanced, citrusy orange sauce.

Simple place, amazing food. No frills joint, but worth it, fried rice looked like simple ingredients but very tasty. Loved it. Had fried rice and kung Pao chicken.

This place was absolutely lovely. Family run and honestly the best dumplings I've ever had.

I can't say enough about this place. It was amazing! A colleague of mine spent many years in SF during his college years and said this was one of his favorite places years ago. We all went, and he advised that the flavor hadn't changed. It was my first time going, and I was highly impressed. There are a lot of food options. The meat pie is a must! Orange chicken was super flavourful. Everything else was sooo good. Location has plenty of seating and staff was awesome. Will definitely go back and recommend to friends and family.

We hit SF for the Chinese New Year Parade today (Year of the Dragon). We arrived early so we could knock off our bucket list item of strolling through Chinatown, as well as fi d a great place to watch the parade. Of course, we all were starving by the time we parked the car, and were looking for the first decent restaurant in the area. Option 1 was to go straight to the crowded Chinatown area or, Option 2, head in the opposite direction. We smartly chose Option 2 and were very pleased with our choice. We strolled up to Sohunan, which was empty (because everyone was flooding the main drag), and were immediately seated. Moments later, our order was taken. The food was amazing! Mom had the veggie chow mein, while munchkin and I had curry chicken and port dumplings. Absolutely. To. Die. For!!!!! And, we were told that everything is made from scratch. They even have chili sauce for sale. We can't wait to go back. Thank you SO much for your hospitality, attentiveness, clean, bright eatery with amazingly flavorful nummies!!! See you next time!!!

Best Chinese food in the country! Great rice plate options for individuals or a la carte entrees for group meals. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu, and while it's great for takeout or delivery, there's surprisingly ample seating for dining in. Curry chicken and garlic chicken are two of my favorite dishes, and the potstickers come in a great sauce that makes for an excellent starter. Friendliest staff, authentic food, top notch meal every 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.

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.

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!

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

I rarely used yelp but I have to copy my reviews to here as I am so angry. I wish I could give this place zero stars. Our experience was nothing short of a disaster from start to finish. We walked in and were completely ignored by the staff for a solid thirty minutes. No greeting, no acknowledgment--just a bunch of employees standing around chatting while we awkwardly waited at the entrance. Plus, there was NO WAITING LIST! When someone finally noticed us, the hostess seemed annoyed that we were even there. Not a great start. We were seated at a sticky, unclean table, and the menus looked like they hadn't been wiped down in weeks. We should have walked out then, but we foolishly gave them the benefit of the doubt. That was a mistake. The service was unbelievably slow. It took another 15 minutes just to get water, and when it finally arrived, there was a suspicious floating object in one of the glasses. Gross. The host barely spoke to us, just grunted and walked away every time we tried to ask a question. Then came the food--if you can even call it that. We ordered a few classic Hunan dishes, expecting bold, spicy flavors. Instead, everything tasted bland, oily, and incredibly salty. The tofu was straight-up COLD IN THE MIDDLE, as if it had been microwaved but not even stirred.

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.

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.

Really tasty food in modest settings - not as spicy as other Hunan style joints - service is fast and efficient - you order at the counter and they bring the food out to you

Walked into Four Kings on a Saturday thinking my boyfriend and I would get seated without a reservation... but turns out that was a blessing in disguise, as we walked a block over and stumbled upon this unassuming restaurant called Sohunan. Little did we know we would have some of the best Chinese food we'd ever have (& we frequently travel to Asia) The owner was welcoming and gracious. The service was prompt and efficient. But the food was the highlight of the night. The food was delicious, fresh, and authentic! The dumplings were perfectly steamed and juicy inside. I also like how it was cooked in its vinegar soy sauce. The stir fry beef and the chow mein were packed with flavor. We wanted to try their orange chicken and it did not disappoint. It had just the right amount of sweetness but what really stood out was its umami flavor. I also love how they have an open kitchen (& you can see how clean it is as well!) Definitely check out Sohunan next time you're in Chinatown!

Part of my weekly lunch rotation. Kung pao chicken, garlic chicken or mapo tofu w pork (aka bean curd w meat) over rice. Can't go wrong

Dining is super easy and fast, food is okay but fills you up. If you like spicy food worth trying the more authentic menu options!

Service was prompt. We ordered the hot and sour soup and dumplings, absolutely delicious. The best was the harvest pork, melts in your mouth.

As a concierge working at a luxury hotel nearby on California Street, I've been looking for some better than R & G Lounge or at least similar type Chinese restaurants within walking distance that isn't a hole in the wall. Looking for some place that I can recommend as an alternative to R & G lounge to our distinguished guests somewhere around Kearny and Sacramento Street away from the Chinatown crowds. And this is not it. Upstairs dining room is spacious and modern, but you really have to ask for it. There is no sign, only a small door. Today I asked if I could eat upstairs but he didn't really tell me where it was until a group of Chinese diners came and went straight upstairs. And then after that he told me to also check the dining room upstairs. Food was decent, smoked pork belly $17.50 + rice $3.00. It's an order and pay first type of restaurant. Downstairs is fast food restaurant setting with few tables.

Authentic hunan cuisine! That is if you ask for the authentic menu. The menu displayed on wall is not the real deal. I highly encourage you try the authentic real deal dishes because why else are you eating hunan cuisine? I got the spear ribs. The spice tastes amazing, it has a tiny bit of numbing spice which I love. I'm not good with spicy food and I let the workers know, and they made the dish to enjoyable spice level for me! You really have to try it to see how it tastes. The meat was perfectly cooked and goes really well with rice. The chef/workers were all really nice and I felt welcomed. Highly recommend!

Terrible service, small menu, tiny space and overpriced food. I was fooled by reviews and photos.

Food is excellent! Waiter recommended the Harvest Pork and it was superb. Good level of spice/heat. (Medium to me) My wife had vegetable chow mein w/pork added. We both had hot green tea. It was a great lunch.

New Hunan fast-casual counter-service restaurant in the FiDi, right near the big 555 California office building. Love the clean aesthetics and quick food preparation. Feels different from other Chinese restaurants nearby, but the modernity doesn't sacrifice its yummy regional specialization at all. Hot & Sour Soup: A small bowl of this came for free. It had the signature viscous texture along all the squishy bits to chew on like mushroom and egg strands. It also had a very nice spicy flair to it. A great way to get ready for the main course. Hunan Dumplings: Breaking the trend of the other dishes, these weren't really spicy. A bunch of freshly boiled dumplings in a soy and vinegar sauce. Very fresh and meaty. A great supplement to your meal. Smoked Pork Belly: I appreciate how hard this dish is to find, so was glad they specialized in it. It's kinda like thick firm (but not crispy) bacon tossed in lots of spice blends and some veggies. The intensity was offset nicely by the mound of rice. Loved the heat. It was really a dish in terms of flavors and textures. Definitely my favorite of what I tried.

Rice plate with garlic chicken was soooo tasty. I also got garlic chicken at Henry's Hunan in Noe Valley and the flavor profile is similar. The ingredients are fresh. We also got their house tofu which was a hint of spicy but not overwhelming. Excited to have an authentic option in Chinatown a bit closer to the Montgomery stop.

This place really stands out with it's neon light at night. Gives me a vibe like in a busy Asian city. Downstairs is for fast casual dining and upstairs is more a sit down restaurant. A bit hard to find at first as you have to enter a shared stairwell. We had four people and split four dishes. smoked hunan pork belly - really interesting dish, I don't know if I've ever had anything quite like it in Chinese cooking. it tastes more like jerky. dry sauteed string beans - pretty standard, reasonable portion size. hot and sour beef - almost a bit sweet. good mix of carrots, onions with the beef. spicy hot rock cod - this was fine. good portion size as well. Rice was on the drier side and came in a large shared bowl. Would be interested in trying more of their family kitchen specialties next time.

A family-owned and run authentic Hunan restaurant. There's the grab-and-go lunch area on the 1st floor, and an more secluded dinner dining area on the 2nd floor. Quiet atmosphere which is great for conversations. Service was by the family members and they were the some of the most hospitable I've encountered in a restaurant. I went with friends for dinner, and dishes were a little slow to come out, though it's likely since we did have fun with ordering some custom dishes while chatting with the owner on Hunan cuisine. It reminded me much more of dining with relatives than dining at restaurant. If you love Hunan food with an amazing flavor, I don't think you can go wrong with their grab-and-go lunch. However, if you want a more social/intimate dining experience with other Hunan enthusiasts, stop by around dinnertime.

Just came here for the pork belly. I thought it was delicious and that the price was right......

Just as SF is in the process of re-inventing itself, Henry's Hunan has re-imagined itself perfectly as Sohunan. I love their willingness to let go of history and modernize, while not at all abandoning what made their prior iterations excellent to begin with. Expect the same Henry's dishes -- fresh and high-quality ingredients, served with spice and fire to last all day -- in an updated setting with a take-out feel on the first level and a very clean and comfortable dining area on the second floor. Sohunan has cracked the code for staying power -- a great starting formula and a willingness to evolve it to keep pace with current tastes and styles. I can think of 50 SF classic goto places that got super stale, resisted any idea of evolving, and are all now long gone. Henry's is dead, long live Sohunan!!

I recently had an unforgettable dining experience at Sohunan, an authentic Chinese restaurant family-owned for generations. I savored their delectable dishes at the restaurant and even ordered some to-go, unable to resist their culinary allure. The spicy hot rock cod, with its tender texture and vibrant flavors, was a particular delight. The smoked pork belly, a unique and satisfying creation, left a lasting impression. The restaurant's third-generation owner, Ray, exuded warmth and attentiveness, sharing stories that enriched the dining experience. With its rich history from 1974, Sohunan has rightfully earned its status as a San Francisco icon. I wholeheartedly recommend Sohunan to anyone seeking authentic Chinese cuisine and the opportunity to support a local business.

First of all, I was a huge fan of Henry's Hunan. The restaurant they had on Sansome Street was one of my favorite restaurants, period. The branches of the family have successfully continued the Henry's dining experience. However, SoHunan is sadly disappointing. Not disappointing to Henry's standards, just plain ole disappointing. It doesn't please me to write bad reviews, but after spending close to a Benjamin on a handful of their dishes, nothing was even close to good enough to bring me back. We ordered the usuals, that should be home runs for any Chinese restaurant, but all were either too sweet, syrupy, under fried, or just plain ole below average. I really wished to be a regular customer, but I sadly I won't be coming back.

Super super yummy! I highly recommend everyone try this FiDi location out. I normally hate schlepping to the FiDi, but this place is worth it. And there's a parking garage across the street too (typical overpriced FiDi one, but hey, it's there). More importantly, if you're fan of spicy Chinese food, this is a great choice for you! My work recently had a party here (upstairs can hold up to 40 people), and came again with my family. Both times the food was super delicious! It's so great to find authentic Chinese food that has depth of flavor. And you can taste that the ingredients are top notch too. And they don't use MSG! That's tough to find and a rare gem for anyone sensitive to MSG. In addition to their Sohunan classics, which have been around for decades, this location also includes a few authentic Hunan Chinese dishes not found at other Sohunan of Henry Hunan locations. And while most of their menu is spicy, but most dishes can be made non-spicy (except for the special menu items). If you're into the spice, they make their own pickled jalapeños and peppers! One of my favorites is the Salt and Pepper spicy beef. This is truly spicy, so not for the faint of tongue. But it's got such a great sour and salty taste that I can't get enough. But you're chugging water as you eat it as it definitely leaves a solid burn in your mouth. My kids loved the Hunan dumplings! They don't skimp on the filling and each dumpling felt very hearty. It's supposed to be spicy, but I asked for the spice on the side, and they totally did it! My kids could eat it and I could scoop the spicy chili I wanted from a side dish. There are several more dishes that we ordered that was delicious, including their pork belly, sweet and sour chicken, mapo tofu, sautéed noodles, etc. But the ones that really stood out for me are the Salt and Pepper spicy beef and their dumplings. The owners are kind, thoughtful, and really care about the food they are serving. And they're related to the original Sohunan of Henry's Hunan, so they are carrying on their family tradition. This is a great place for lunch, to bring friends, or even for a party as their upstairs room can hold around 40. Good to know as most restaurants don't have this ability. And their upstairs space is modern and upscale looking, so a great choice for a work event. Definitely come check this place out.

The dumplings at this place are not to be missed. Everything else is also incredible. And it's family owned and operated.

We happened to walk past Sohunan yesterday. As soon as I realized it's an offshoot of Henry's Hunan, I just had to check it out! Henry's has been around for over 20 years, and has multiple locations in San Francisco. Sohunan streamlined Henry's original menu to only its most popular dishes; and designed the space to be more modern and welcoming. Best of all, it's still family-run, so when you spend money here, you're really shopping local and small. I ordered the curry chicken. The recipe has indeed stayed the same. I wish it were less greasy though. All in all, bravo, Hunan, for reinventing yourself.

Found this spot on Yelp and checked it out for dinner this weekend. It's a family owned, authentic spot for Hunan cuisine! The interior is really nice, with high ceilings and modern finishes. The dishes are spicy and served in generous portions, definitely order their smoked pork belly. The prices are a little more expensive than other spots in Chinatown, but the ambiance and service are both great!

A new business in the Financial District? Chinese, Hunan, you say? A. It's a rebrand from the previous business of Henry's Hunan, a popular spot that I never tried. B. Yes, it's still Chinese specializing in Hunan cuisine. The menu is pared down from what I remember. In reading the name, it didn't click until I said it slowly several times. Coming here on a Wednesday around noon, I was the only customer, or so I thought, when I walked in. It's an interesting setup where you walk up to the counter to order your meal, telling them whether you are dining in or taking out. After saying "dine in", he asked me, "Upstairs or downstairs?". I decided to explore further and said upstairs and he pointed me to a doorway to the left. For seniors or diners with mobility issues, downstairs dining seems to be the only option. After walking upstairs, I was pleasantly surprised by the setup and attractiveness of this dining room. There was one large table with eight or nine diners against the right wall as you face the windows. There are also five or six four-top tables along the left wall. There are restrooms both upstairs and downstairs. I settled in at the 3rd table from the window and a lady offered and brought me a glass of cold water. About five minutes later, she brought me my 1st plate, the Hunan dumplings (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Emg_28W6_MxdZFPGdIjaQQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); described as crescent dumplings filled with pork and vegetables, the filling shined here as it brought memories of old school textures and flavors, topped with a soy sauce, white vinegar, and hot oil mix and topped with diced red peppers and green onions. The filling is generous and tasty, again reminiscent of ones from my childhood with a tint of ginger essence. (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=e3kkSh4i7PvoofIosLi0Cg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). For my main, I had the harvest pork with rice (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=AQ0sB-S9i2cjXY3REU83yA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); slices of pre-cooked pork sauteed with onions and cabbage in a hot bean sauce is their description for this. I enjoyed the presentation as well as the flavors and textures with the crunch from the veggies, the smooth mildy spicy bean sauce, and the funk from the pork pieces from being cooked twice. The cashier/server also generously offered me more rice if I needed. This is normally named twice cooked pork at other restaurants. As I left, I purchased a hot and sour soup, large to go. They describe it as a spicy broth with eggs, tofu, wood ears, and bamboo shoots. I reheated 2/3rds of it for a light lunch (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=AlyoCdPeoHE5_gffbHgCkQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) a few days later as a cure for the foggy cool weather we've been having. This is a non-traditional version as it leaned on the tangy sauce and red pepper flakes floated on top. The flavor reminded me of spicy pickled radishes often stir fried with pork as a noodle topping or stir fry dish. I'm used to a milder version with sesame oil and using black vinegar and soy sauce. The upstairs dining room is a more comfortable dine in space with the modern decor, artwork on the walls, the windows facing Sacramento St., and hardwood floors and wood tables. As I left, a few more diners flowed in upstairs and, after ordering and getting my takeout order, there were diners on the wall side counter downstairs as well as a high top and table. A meal delivery person waited at the entrance. I will be back in hopes of recapturing those old time flavors, likely the smoked pork belly or noodles with meat sauce. *** Historical note - The Chung family's original restaurant location recently became a historical landmark under different business ownership, House of Nanking). You could say that the founder Henry built the reputation of that space which House of Nanking continues to perpetuate. I still remember the long lines of people at the original Hunan Restaurant (it's former name) to dine there in the '70's.

Service was absolutely great and welcoming. The end. The space of the restaurant was so small that it couldn't accommodate me and my family (there were only 4 of us). We had to sit in separate seats. The food is literally just takeout/fusion food which is good, but not if you have hundreds of other authentic and cheaper asian places nearby.

5 stars all around - quick, friendly service, good variety of rhe menu, delicious food, spacious seating, great music... dare I go on. We'll be back the next time we are in town.

Got the Mongolian beef which was excellent! Will definitely be going back to try more dishes

The food is amazing! Especially if you are into spicy and sour food. It is AMAZING! The service is also top notch. Again, if you are good with spicy and sour food, come!

Decent Hunan style food. Delicious dumplings, bland garlic chicken and good fried rice with shrimp.

Small place, but nice and clean. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Got the kung pao chicken, Mongolian beef, and green beans all over rice. All were delish with the perfect amount of heat. Good size portions and prices. Least favorite was their dumplings.

My husband visited the downstairs area for a weekday lunch and loved it so much that he brought me and the kids for dinner. The upstairs area is beautifully designed, tastefully decorated with original art by the owner's brother and handmade furniture and remarkably spacious given the restaurant's prime location. After spending time there, we are already thinking of upcoming occasions when we can host friends in the space. The food is incredibly flavorful, with a distinctive smokiness that can only be achieved by a skilled chef and restaurant equipment. We really enjoyed the smoked pork belly, bitter melon and pork and egg fried rice. The owner also made us a simple yet satisfying off-menu dish of sauteed fresh greens, which were a great companion to the hearty meat dishes. Last but not least, the upstairs area features a raised wooden platform by the window that our kids loved exploring. They watched the cars, buses and pedestrians passing by on Sacramento St. When we spoke with the owner's brother, who helped design the space, he shared that he made this area especially with kids in mind, to give them somewhere to spend time during the meal. What a sweet and considerate thing to do for families! How family friendly this establishment is! We loved our experience and heartily recommend Sohunan to anyone looking for a delicious and filling meal in a tranquil and elegant setting.

Nondescript setting, EXCELLENT food. Loved the sauces and spicy tastes, fresh and perfectly cooked.

I hosted a party of 26 two nights ago for dinner. We all gathered in a second-floor room to ourselves and had a blast. The ambiance was balanced by the terrific service and the difficult-to-find Chinese "comfort" food that we requested and faithfully executed by owner, Ivan Zhu, who totally gutted the interior, designed, and executed the space that provides the contemporary look and feel. To a person, we all had a great night in the perfect venue at an affordable price. Parking is convenient at Portsmouth Square at $8 flat rate. I would totally recommend trying Sohunan if you have not already. Ivan faithfully follows the legacy left by Henry's Hunan. You won't be sorry.

A new, smaller outpost of the venerable Henry's Hunan family of restaurants. This location caters more to preorders and grab and go, and offers a more limited menu than the sit down locations. I had the hot and sour soup and Kung Pao chicken to go and it was every bit as tasty as the Natoma location that I go to several times a week. This location does not offer the World's best salad, their Chinese Chicken Salad. I could eat only their chicken salad for the rest of my life and be very happy. Order ahead online at their website and your food will be ready at the indicated time.

新鲜蔬菜，每日准备，老板人好，食物美味，口味正宗！ My husband and I had tried so many Hunan restaurants in the city. We finally found our favorite! The food is organic/non-gmo, freshly prepared daily, a lot of homemade meat options and dumplings. Even the decoration and furniture was made by hands (house made). They are small family business, I encourage people to try it out. I bet you will like it.

Very mediocre hunan food. Not sure how this place is so highly rated. Overpriced for the poor quality unappetizing dishes served

Saw this place on Yelp. Super friendly people and delicious dumplings. I sat downstairs where there are a couple tables and a line of stools. A large group came in and went upstairs, so they must have more space up there. Would definitely come back to try other food items. Seems very authentic.

Happened to stumble across this great Chinese restaurant. It looks like it's just been refurbished. It has a modern, simple, sleek look. The staff were welcoming and very attentive. Dumpling starter was cooked to perfection and very tasty. My main course was delicious, spicy and hot and full of flavour.

Kids said food was great. Quick too. Loved the noodles. Love the orange chicken and sweet and sour. Good service

This place was really great. We weren't sure at first but the staff were very friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly and it was so incredibly tasty and delicious. We were both surprised and impressed with our experience at Sohunan. It was exactly what we wanted and we would certainly dine here again when we're back in San Francisco.

每个菜都现做的小炒，少油，不咸，锅气浓郁，香。。。下次要来吃它家的腊肉。 Every dish is freshly stir-fried, with less oil and not salty, and the pot smell is rich and fragrant. . . I'm going to eat their bacon next time.
