Reviews for Hunan Chef Chinese Restaurant in Pleasanton, CA
Ate here for lunch. Ordered the lunch special mongolian chicken and fried rice. Started with hot & sour soup. Which tasted... "watery" instead of viscous and thick. I thought it was "watered down"? Both the serving of chicken and rice wasn't close to thetotal size of the plate they served it on. They should use either smaller plates or up the size of their servings? The lunchspecial was $12.30 (including tax). About average, during this time of post-Covid. Service was just OK. I asked for my bill andthe waitress took several incoming customers (one from a phone order and one at the ordering counter), prior to me getting mybill. Not a big thing but I did think it was a bit rude, taking care of folks who came/phoned in, after I asked for my bill. Itook off a star for that and a star off for the smaller portions. Overall, decent enough food but my fried rice was a bit cool,not hot (or even warm) and I had no more than 4-5 small pieces of chicken in my dish. There are so many other Chinese foodplaces in the Pleasanton/Dublin area that are so much better than this. Read more
Food tasted mediocre, I ordered string beans chicken to go but instead I got string beans only, there was one small pice of... chicken in the whole entire plate, I still can?t believe it when I opened the box and saw it was only one pice of chicken, Theymay saved money by not putting chicken but they lost a lot more, I would never go back there or anyone I know, shame on youguys Read more
I picked up an order to go. Everything was delicious and prepared as I would expect. Better yet, they give you a ton of food. I... got 3 good meals out of an order of Kung Pao Chicken and an order of egg-fried rice for one. A definite yes for standard Chinesefare with no unpleasant surprises. Read more
They secretly charge you more than the menu prices all the time, so make sure you check the receipt carefully. They also don?t... provide an itemized receipt when you get take-out, and if you don?t calculate the prices they will charge you more than you owe.The food itself is good. Read more
Went on a Friday for lunch. The place is not too crowded, ample parking spaces. They get hot tea to the table. Wait a for a... couple of mins before serving the tea, giving the tea some flavor. Food is not as spicy as regular Hunan places. The service wasquick and food was on time. The prices are reasonable too. Read more
We came for dinner on a Saturday around 7PM and the restaurant was not busy. Shout-out to one of the male servers who wore a... flower on his head, he was super nice to us and to many tables with little kids. Food deserves a solid 3.5 stars for taste andauthenticity. I enjoyed the cumin lamb ????, the fish gluten ???, preserved fish with ???????(both under the chef specials). Ididn't like the dry-fried green bean ????? as it tasted so Americanized (see pic) Portions are big, however, prices are on thehigh side as well (but normal for the Bay Area to be fair). Read more
Had the orange chicken takeout. The included hot and sour soup was excellent. The orange chicken less so. Price was just... under ten dollars after tax, and the portion was large, but Panda Express' orange chicken just tastes better. Maybe I'll trysome other items on the menu sometime later and update the report. Read more
