Quite impressive dinner menu. Recently remodeled in 2024/2025, this is not the Hunan of the past.
It's a solid, quality, authentic sichuan/hunan style restaurant with the quality dishes to match.
The whole fish boiling pot was the highlight. The entire fish (catfish) was fresh and went well with the veges and other items in it. When it says it is spicy- it's no joke! It has the famous sichuan peppercorn numbing spice.
Another standout was the 'squirrel' fish- it's hard to explain, but I took a picture and that was not spicy- but sweet and sour. It was amazing and my family said it was one of the best they ever had.
The other dishes are solid, and they have non-spicy dishes- but if you come to hunan-style restaurant you'll get the toothpick lamb, spicy pork dishes, dry style hotpot, etc. Everything is solid.
The vibe- vibe is good. Not a typical chinese restuarant. Had American museum vibes, Nora Jones playlist on repeat. But it works, and the past few times I was here, there were bunch of international asian students- which is a very good sign.
All in all, very quality- and highly recommend it for dinner. Lunch is solid too, but the portions are a little smaller. Dinner you pay more- but I feel like it's the better deal. Enjoy!!

Good but super greasy. Really nice interior and great customer service. I have done homework here for a few hours a few times and they refilled my water and were really kind. The texture of the beef is unusual sometimes. I'm not sure how to describe it, but it's like chewy and weird. Again, unbelievably greasy.

Shredded Potato with Chili and Vinegar is evenly cut into thin, uniform strips. The tanginess and spiciness are just right, making it a perfect appetizer.

Stir-fried Yellow Beef is cooked to perfection—succulent and not the least bit tough. Paired with Hunan's signature chili peppers, it's irresistibly spicy and pairs amazingly with rice.

Chopped Pepper Fish Head is absolutely the signature dish. The fish is tender and flavorful, with the spicy aroma of chopped peppers perfectly balanced—a must-order every visit!
Delicious food and a great location—perfect for a weekday outing.

TERRIBLE SERVICE. They hung up on me multiple times and then proceeded to tell me they don't have my order even though the DoorDash driver was in the restaurant. DO NOT EAT OR ORDER FROM HERE

Entree and soup were barely warm, chow mein was hot, taste of food was decent but my walnut shrimp didn’t have any walnuts. The place was filthy from the carpets, salt and pepper shakers, soy sauce decanter to the bathrooms. Service was lousy, never asked how we were doing and didn’t say anything as we were leaving. The hot tea was good. Disappointed to say the least.

Hunan’s is the spot for their lunch specials! We always came here while attending UCD. Parking is fairly easy, there’s street parking paid and time limited throughout the area. Staff are super friendly and has been a family business in Davis for over 30 years. Perfect spot for your Chinese and Chinese American dishes!
