Hunan Chef

Hunan chef is a long standing neighborhood Chinese restaurant serving authentic delicious Hunan dishes. They recently were closed for a month due to repairs after a car hit and damaged the front entrance, but I am happy to say that they are now open again.Highly recommend their sesame pancake, their chow ma mein (seafood soup noodles), and their mushu. Very authentic and very tasty.FYI they are now using their side entrance instead of the original main entrance

Our favorite Chinese place. Food is seasoned nicely and tastes very authentic. They are friendly and provide good service.

Chinese Breakfast, you say? Sweet soy milk and fried Chinese donut? I am so there! I've been looking for a new Chinese breakfast spot ever since Chef Wu's in Newark closed down earlier this year. It was just my luck that I found it right by one of my friend's!I got seated right away and after looking at their menu, I decided on getting the sweet soy milk, the sesame with braised beef, a fried Chinese donut and a savory rice roll. Definitely a lot of food but I enjoyed every bite and had leftovers to take home. The soy milk has sugar added on the bottom so make sure to give it a good stir before drinking. Or, if you don't want it to be too sweet, don't stir too much and don't drink the very bottom. The fried Chinese donut was on point; crispy golden fried and light. I enjoyed dipping this into my soy milk. The sesame pancake with braised beef as also very good. Some times they don't put enough sauce but this one was well don't. The sauce did drip out a bit but I didn't mind. The savory rice roll was also on point. Pieces of the fried Chinese donut and preserved vegetables helped to balance the ingredients. Plentiful parking, a good amount of tables, clean bathroom and attentive service. Definitely my new go to place on the weekends! I'll gladly drive the 40ish minutes to get there!

Amazing spot - really enjoyed the weekend brunch. There's a huge menu of Chinese classics, and I love all the specialty items. Salty rice roll (饭团）- excellent, not too salty, perfect crunchy you tiao bits and picked veg with pork floss. Pumpkin cake - don't see this too often at restaurants, it seems deep fried, which gives it a nice crispy crust and soft chewy mochi wrapping. Red bean paste filling is not too sweet. Seafood tofu claypot - excellent flavor and tofu texture. Great portion and lots of tender seafood. Can't wait to come back to try more!!

We love this pace and have lunch/dinner here all the time. However The entrance was damaged; it's not in business right now. Sad ...

This may go to Chinese restaurant since 2012. The place is clean. Food is excellent especially the lunch specials M-F. Service is always fast.

* decent taste wt generous amount of food, considered from price wt other Chinese restaurants around the area* friendly and quick services* good vibe for gathering wt fam and friendsI would definitely go back to try other dishes!

All the dishes I ordered here were quite tasty and came out quickly. The server was really nice too and packed the food I couldn't finish for me to take home.

Hunan Chef is one of our favorite Hunan cuisine restaurants in the Tri-Valley area. They served authentic Hunan cuisine, and this was evident on the day we came here for a Sunday lunch, as the place was packed with Chinese families. On the weekends, they have a special Chinese breakfast menu, offering items such as sweet or savory soy bean milk, fan tuan (rice rolls), green onion pancakes, etc. If this is your first time here, I recommend trying a few dishes from the Chef's Recommendations. We had the bean curd sheet with pork and jalepeno, shrimp with mountain yams and woodears, and the fish gluten tofu soup. The portions were very generous here, so much so that our family of 4 couldn't finish several of our dishes, but we get to pack out and enjoy them at home.

Excellent food with lots of selection. Service is always very good and the environment is very busy and lots of people on the weekends.Price is very reasonable and food value is pretty good.Highly recommended.
