Hunan Bar & Restaurant

Quite impressive dinner menu. Recently remodeled in 2024/2025, this is not the Hunan of the past. It's a solid, quality, authentic sichuan/hunan style restaurant with the quality dishes to match. The whole fish boiling pot was the highlight. The entire fish (catfish) was fresh and went well with the veges and other items in it. When it says it is spicy- it's no joke! It has the famous sichuan peppercorn numbing spice. Another standout was the 'squirrel' fish- it's hard to explain, but I took a picture and that was not spicy- but sweet and sour. It was amazing and my family said it was one of the best they ever had. The other dishes are solid, and they have non-spicy dishes- but if you come to hunan-style restaurant you'll get the toothpick lamb, spicy pork dishes, dry style hotpot

The rolled beef pancake is so bad!! Do not order this unless you want to be chewing it for days tastes like they use the leftover days old beef and the pancake isn’t soft it’s hard. Also no dipping sauce. I got ripped off. It looks good in the picture but doesn’t taste good at all! The picture is a placebo effect.

Seriously, the best Hunan and Sichuan cuisine you can find right here in Davis! I'm especially excited about their newly added items – they're fantastic! We ordered the premium pork elbow, sizzling plate spicy squid, Chinese winter melon, and stir-fried yellow cattle beef. It's convenient to find authentic Chinese food without having to drive all the way to the Bay Area. I also noticed their new decor and nice music!

This is the place for legit Chinese cuisine in downtown Davis. Excellent service, nice atmosphere, astoundingly delicious food. We ordered Farmhouse Beef (spicy), Mongolian Beef (not too spicy), and egg flower soup. For $6.25 extra, add the Combo to any meal which h includes hot sour soup, egg roll, fried wonton, and steamed white rice.

I was pleasantly surprised by the authenticity of this Hunan restaurant. I ordered four dishes in total, and the overall quality exceeded my expectations. The Changsha stinky tofu was the first time I’ve experienced such authentic stinky tofu in the entire US. Although it was listed under the cold dishes, it was actually served hot. The tofu was incredibly juicy and flavorful. The rice noodles were also exceptional, especially considering the price range. The pork intestines were prepared nicely as well. I must say, students in this area are fortunate to have access to such an authentic Chinese restaurant at a relatively reasonable price.
