Huncho House

My friend and I chose this restaurant in support of Black History Month because the owners are black! The restaurant was very good but I would have made some small changes to make the experience great. The oysters my friend got were really good. The flavors were spot on. My shrimp was cool I just personally wish it was spicier and the batter crispier. The lobster pasta was very good flavor wise, perfect level of spiciness, I would have just changed my noodles because they were chewy.As far as service, it did take a while to get seated despite us having reservations. They did offer us complimentary champagne during the wait which was nice. The food delivery was a little slow but not terrible. My only real complaint is the seating. It's a small restaurant so the tables are very close together and the seats are also really low to the ground. My friend and I have long legs and our legs at the end of dinner were very stiff! I think the restaurant is on the right track they just have to make a few small tweaks.

My partner surprised me with birthday reservations here. She knew I had been wanting to try HH. The only negatives were use having to wait 15-20 mins although we had reservations and not knowing the parking situation. Note: Park in the Safeway parking garage so you receive 2 hours free parking. Food: I read reviews saying the food was cold. I'm not sure what when this was, but our food was piping hot. AMAZING! Everything was perfectly seasoned and hot. We ordered the jerk short rib, Asian salmon & crab fried rice, and the crab mac and cheese. The short rib didn't give jerk, more like spiced. It had some heat but I wouldn't say jerk. The short rib was TENDER. I didn't try the risotto because I don't like peas but my lady said it was surprisingly good. She's not much of a curry lover but stated it gave the dish a unique flavor. The salmon and crab fried rice were chefs kiss. The mac and cheese...perfectly cheesy. We were halfway through the meal and the dish was still steaming. Maybe a little more crabmeat could be added, but we outside of that, I have no complaints. SN: The table next to us ordered the charbroiled oysters and whole red snapper; which both looked amazing! I'll definitely try the oysters the next time we come. Only because I don't like fish with bones, the snapper won't be on my hit list. Drinks: Tried the NYE special but I can't remember the name. Regardless it was delicious, not too sweet. Ambiance: Complementary champagne was given upon entry for New Year's Eve. R&B hits are played. The inside is decorated nicely and is very IGable.

Okay I'm a Lil' late with this review, forgive me. Myself and wife dined here for our anniversary dinner, it was her choice, and man this place is nice, always packed, it's best to make reservations in advance + it's black-owned and operated. The atmosphere, ambience, and service was 10++ and the food was amazing.The only thing is the parking situation, which was you can park on the street, which is difficult finding a space; then their is a local garage across and up the street just a bit. It's like a 2-5 minute process. Other than that I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves fine dining.

Huncho House provides guests with an upscale dining experience. The best part is that it's black-owned. Everything about this dinner experience is top-tier and the definition of black excellence. Booking: First things first, booking a reservation. I booked my reservation about a month in advance through the Huncho House website via Open Table. I booked the chef's table experience, this experience costs $100 per person to reserve these seats. Please note: this is a separate fee from the dining service (Max 4 guests). I highly recommend booking these seats, worth every penny. You get to engage with Chef Tobias, Chef Key and Chef Lady T. Their energy is infectious. It was empowering to see so many women chefs in the kitchen. Decor and Design: The overall ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful. I loved the attention to detail, the cutlery and plate wear are stunning, I ended up ordering some of the costers from the Honeycomb collection from the William and Sonoma site that night. Service: The service was top-tier, we were greeted by the general manager, Diona, who gave us an overview of the Chef's table experience as we enjoyed a complimentary glass of champagne. Paris, our server, guided us through the menu and recommended her favorite items and popular pairings. Food: Everything we ordered was outstanding. The charbroiled oysters, crispy Asian shrimp, red snapper, and crab & jalapeno fettuccine were a few highlights that we tried. We just ordered a bunch of food to share. The food was worth every penny. I ended up ordering another crab & jalapeno pasta to go. We also tried the vanilla bread pudding and the flaming banana foster cheesecake. The cheesecake is mouth-watering and finished with salted caramel. Parking: Huncho House is metro accessible. There is street parking and garage parking available. Please note that parking is not validated.

So we went to Huncho House as one of the DMV restaurants we wanted to try on our new journey to see what we've been missing on the food scene and I'll admit I'm glad we came! We went on a Friday evening at 6. It was the only thing available for our party size which was a little early for me. When you walk in the door it's a quaint little place but very welcoming as we walked in. The hostess provided complimentary glasses of rose champagne ( it's truly a taste amount) and then we were seated. Our waitress was very nice and knowledgeable of the menu. You can tell Chef Tobias wants his guest to feel as if they are experiencing a fine dining environment and it did feel as such. We ordered the oysters and jerk lollipops as a starter. They both tasted great I loved the candied finish on the chicken skin and the oysters were well seasoned as well. Then for entrees we ordered a few different things I had the crab cakes which I enjoyed ima huge crab cake fanatic and love a good crabby crab cake no fillers thank you ! I was thoroughly impressed I must say. I had the macaroni and lobster mash for sides and they were also solid choices as well. We didn't do a dessert unfortunately but I think we really didn't have time anyways. If I could leave one note for fixing it would be the process of having patrons know their time allotment is running out. We were paying our tab and our table was cleared as we were still seated. One guest didn't even have the chance to finish her drink unfortunately but our waitress did hear the concern and fixed it immediately. If I'm back in the area I would come back but don't think I'd make the hour drive fromAlexandria again.

Food, service and drinks were all great! The street corn was sweet and delicious. The wife cleaned her plate of the salmon fried rice and said it was the best fried rice she's had in a very long time! My jerk crab cake was also delicious, I appreciated the different flavor profile vs a traditional crab cake. The broccolini was ok, I wish it was a little spicier. The Mac n cheese was a winner, cheesy and delish. As for the ambiance, nice and intimate space however I do wish the tables/chairs weren't so close to each other. It just feels like you are sitting with your neighbor in one party. We'll go back for sure to try other things!

I finally had the chance to try this place, and while the food tasted good, I found it to be overrated and a bit overpriced, especially when it came to the drinks. We were seated immediately without a reservation on a Thursday night. The atmosphere was cute and intimate, with a slight view of the kitchen. The music selection was perfect, featuring a nostalgic lineup of throwback R&B songs. I would recommend giving it a try, and if I'm in the area again, I would definitely eat there.

My husband surprised me with a reservation at the Chef's Table in this restaurant for a special birthday celebration. I had no idea what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised beyond my imagination! The restaurant's exterior may seem unassuming, but stepping inside reveals a world of elegance and luxury. The ceiling adorned with flowers and the soft, dim lighting create a sophisticated ambiance.Upon arrival, we were greeted with champagne before being seated. The culinary experience was exceptional, especially at the Chef's table where we could observe the kitchen's bustling activity and the artful presentation of each dish. While every dish was delicious, the Lamb Chops & Charbroiled Oysters stood out as a true delight for my palate.The service was impeccable (shoutout the Maître D' & Chef Red Beard!), the cocktails were delicious (Lavender Lemon Drop! ), the decor was perfect for photo opportunities, and we even had the pleasure of meeting the owner and celebrity chef, Chef Tobias Dorzon, who made rounds to greet guests. I left the restaurant feeling completely satisfied and with memories that will last a lifetime. Don't miss out on this unforgettable dining experience - make your reservation ASAP!

I'm going to start by saying I love the food at Huncho House. I dined here for my birthday earlier this year and had a great experience. I also love the vibes especially the music. However, the service I received last night was completely unacceptable.My friends and I had a reservation for 8:45 and arrived at 8:40. We were told our table was not quite ready yet. We were not seated until about 9:10, which I find to be ridiculous seeing that they charge a $35 per person cancellation fee and would likely penalize us for being late. We got our first appetizer almost right away, which was weird because our next appetizer came (sushi) came 20 mins later and everything else including my SALAD took an additional hour to come out. We all ordered drinks and for the first 30 minutes only one of us had a drink.I hate to bash a black owned business, but I need them to get it together especially since they are expanding the business and are SO expensive. They say that people have 90 mins to dine but again our reservation was for 8:45 and due to the service we did not leave the restaurant until about 11:20.

One of the tastiest Margaritas and Fresh Flavorful Sushi I've had. If you're looking for a great reatiraubt with a nice dinner menu, live ambiance (DJ) in the Hyattsville area, Huncho House is your go-to!
