Henry's Hunan Restaurant — Restaurant in San Francisco

I have been to this spot many times since they opened this location on Church Street with another branch of Henry's extended family restaurants in different parts of the city. Henry's has a well-deserved reputation built over several generations for serving good food and comes with good service. My most recent visit was for a take out order of things I had a craving for. I love the onion pancakes and theirs are light and delicate. They go well with the hot and sour soup which is a healthy thing to have when the weather is cold and damp like it is now. It helps with any congestion from colds or flu and makes your feel better like a good comfort food should. They smoke their own ham and they are perfect for the long green beans. The ham is a bit salty for some people but I have a condition that requires salty food so it's fine for me. The flavors remind me of the kind of food that I grew up eating when my grandfathers also smoked their own hams from their own hogs and cooked with the vegetables from their gardens. The style may be different but this is Hunan style soul food and if you like soul food, you will be reminded of the food your forebears ate and thrived on and stayed strong on through hard times like we are having now. Good value all...

I was really hungry and didn’t eat all day. Early on the evening I wanted to have a satisfying dish as my first meal of the day to keep me going. On my way home the first place that I could find parking nearby was Henry’s Hunan, I parked and went in hoping to get a satisfying meal. The servers working this had a great attitude and took my order promptly, I was curious to know what the table next to mine was having, it looked like a dish prepared with green beans and scrambled eggs, I asked the server that I wanted to ordered the green beans dish, I was informed that the dish I was asking about was a dish made with jalapeño and scrambled eggs and is not in the menu but if I was interested they will gladly prepare it for me, I went ahead and ordered the jalapeño dish, a delicious variety of peppers, scallions with sliced onions expertly stirred fried, surprisingly enough not a very hot dish. I had to ordered another plate, I went for the smoked ham chow mein, noodles with sliced pieces of the smoked ham with very little vegetables. In the beginning i really wanted to take half of the order home with me but the food was giving me an emotional sense of comfort and I I felt that the righteous thing to do was to finish...

We came into San Francisco from Mill Valley for a Covid-19 test in preparation for a surgery at UCSF. So, since it was my birthday 🎂 🥳, we decided to take a little drive, as it is across the city. I haven't been to Henry's Hunan in probably 10 years. Before that I had been going to this Hunan since 1982. That's 40 years ago.I knew Henry, the original Henry and was good buds with his grandson Jeff. So, we ordered Diana's meat pie and Harvest Pork, my all time favorite. We also ordered Mu Shu Pork. We got all the way home and realized we hadn't gotten any plum sauce. I was so disappointed. When I called them to complain, or to find out how they could have forgotten the plum sauce. The nice woman who had taken my phone order to begin with said they haven't used plum sauce in 20 years. OMG, who doesn't use plum sauce on Mu Shu Pork! I am 😠 mad so that's all I've got. The rest of the...
