Cafe Hunan — Restaurant in Dallas

What a great Chinese Hunan Bistro. My wife and I were over by SMU and saw this corner Chinese food restaurant on SMU Blvd. We stopped in and were we impressed! The open kitchen is what first caught my eye! Freshly prepared food where you can see the chef cooking in the woks! The smells were wonderful. The menu was a classic array of Chinese dishes that all sounded appealing. I ordered some eggdrop soup and a pork egg roll to start. The soup had a thick base and was full of egg. The egg roll was one of the best I dad ever eaten. For my main dish, I ordered Hunan Chicken (spicy) and some combination fried rice. The rich Hunan sauce was superb. The flavor was spot on with all the wonder vegetables. The fried rice was great as well. The pork in the rice was cooked very well and tasted good. My wife ordered the chicken fried rice. One thing we noticed is that they used a great white meat chicken, instead if dark meat like most restaurants do to save on cost. The dishwear they chose was unique in the fact that itvis stainless steel instead of some regular plastic plate or bowl. The restaurant was clean inside. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I would HIGHLY...

The dining atmosphere was pleasant, the staff were warm and friendly, and the food was really really delectable.

We ordered a wonton noodle soup - the serving was huge, with generous portions of wonton, char siew meat, and big-sized fresh succulent peeled prawns. We also ordered a chicken fried rice, which visibly had quite a lot of eggs, was fried to perfection, with the rice clearly defined - not too mushy, yet not overly dry - and it included the smell and taste of the wok.

The owner, Mark, was hanging around, and we had a short nice conversation as well. He obviously takes pride in the quality of his ingredients, and it clearly shows in the food we ordered. Also sensed from our brief time there that his staff are happy working there. A pity we forgot to take pictures while we were there.

In conclusion, you must visit Cafe Hunan if you haven't! It's one of the most impressionable cafes we have been to...

The food here is 5 star. I have eaten at various Chinese bistros throughout the US. Cafe Hunan is by far the best. The sweet, spice, crunch, savor, and tenderness of the meat is all there! The food is always hot, never cold. I love it. The environment isn’t loud so I’m about to eat and work from here. I find myself in awe and expressing excitement after every bite. A little pricey but it’s worth it.

This is my second time coming to Cafe Hunan. The community is safe and is in a bustling area. I haven’t had any issues finding parking and the building, and its features are always clean. The older woman floating between the kitchen and cash register is such a darling, I wish she was officially apart of my family. She makes guests feel welcomed and...
