Hunan Lion

This place is just one business out of many businesses in this large strip center. We decided to come here because they have a really great affordable lunch special. It doesn't say so on the menu, but they do offer some mediocre wine choices along with a few bottled beer selections. The wine is called Canyon Ridge which is along the same line as Sutter Home. Shiner and Tsing Tao beer is as good as it gets. In other words, their alcohol permit is definitely under utilized here, thus steering us to water. However, We really came for the food. We began with a couple of bowls of their soup, which is the start of their lunch special. The main course comes with an eggroll and the portions are reasonable in size. Be sure to request some sweet-and-sour sauce and spicy mustard. This was your typical American style Chinese food, but it was exceptional for the style. The Service was very friendly and attentive. If you pay by credit card, you'll be facing the iPad. Definitely a great budget lunch spot that I would return to. Check out the 10 photos included for more information.

Tried this place based on a recommendation. Ambiance is great , loved the paintings and the decor(missed to take more pics) . Impressive service here. Marie was very friendly and always taking requests with a smile. Even though she was the only one serving the entire section, she was patient and ensuring by checking frequently if we needed anything .Food is great and portion sizes are huge. Szechuan meal was not at all spicy(unexpectedly), but all the items were delicious.Service time was quick for the appetizers but meal itself took more than 20 mins to arrive. As another review stated already , it's not fast food and it took its own sweet time to arrive - but felt really hot and fresh !

Food was tasty. Cute place. Very clean. Service was speedy with polite wait staff. Friendly. Will be back

Cute restaurant in a strip mall, quick service and the food was surprisingly good! The hot and sour soup had a little too much black pepper for me but nevertheless I ate it all. I modified my kung pao chicken to no peanuts and only celery and it was a huge portion and delicious! Most places now seem to sugar dump but this sauce was very good and full of flavor. I will definitely be back!

Came here for lunch today around 11:30ish. My mom had the moo goi gai pan and I had the shrimp with snow peas. Both dishes were great. We both talked about how the shrimp and veggies were cooked perfectly. The veggies were fresh and still with a crunch to them. There were lots of big shrimp in my dish. We both had the chicken corn soup which was also good. The lunch special was between $10 and $11. When we left all the tables were full and there was a wait. My mom said this is the best Chinese food restaurant she had been to in the area. We have tried at least 4 other Chinese food restaurants together.

We finally found really good Chinese food!! Since moving here from NYC, we've struggled to find a good spot, and this is it! We absolutely loved the attentiveness and friendliness, of the staff. They provided excellent service from start to end. Was even welcomed personally by one of veterans of this restaurant of over 30+ years.The environment and design of the restaurant was very pleasant and warm, very welcoming and clean.The food was cooked fresh and was very tasty. We ordered Sesame chicken, shrimp in lobster sauce, and chicken with broccoli and a side of large fried rice, and two chicken egg rolls. The chicken egg rolls were a delight and make a great appetizer to get you ready for your entree. They served the egg rolls with their sweet and sour sauce, which was alright, but I would've preferred to pair the egg rolls with duck sauce. The sesame chicken was rich in flavor and quality(our whole table loved it!) the shrimp in lobster sauce was not very saucy, but the flavor was on point, and they are not cheap with the shrimp. It was a good portion. Their chicken with broccoli was good, but not better than their sesame chicken. We still took it to go and will definitely have it for lunch tomorrow.This place left a wonderful impression on our family. Can't wait to return. It was my turn to pick a spot for dinner, and my wife didn't want to travel too far, but I had faith in this place, and thankfully, it scored me a few extra points with the wife. Was so excited to dine here, that I forgot to take pictures but I'll definitely take some pictures next time around.

My family and I visited Hunan Lion tonight. It has not been the first time, but this is our first time leaving a review. We have never been disappointed with our food and service, and tonight was no different. The quality of the food was exceptional and the service was outstanding. We had the pleasure of being waited on by Elise. She is awesome. She is good at what she does. She is very professional, courteous, and conscientious in making sure we had the best dining experience. Elise, Thank You.I would highly recommend eating at Hunan Lion, if you haven't already.

The food and service are wonderful. We had the Thai basil beef, chicken corn soup, chicken egg rolls, and pork fried rice. Everything was delicious.

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants! The food is always great! My go to item is the General Tso's chicken.

Went for lunch based on previous reviews!! And we were not disappointed!!! Wonderful service and wonderful food!!
