Taste of Hunan 湘村人家

I ordered walnut shrimp , picture one is from their menu, and I got picture two and was gaslighted that it was the correct dish . Their other dishes are fine, but honestly how do you call that walnut shrimp.

The best hunan dish in San Diego. A lot of not spicy food options as well if you are not a big fan of spicy food. Their sour and spicy fish is my favorite. The fish is fresh and everything tastes good!

This Hunan restaurant is an absolute gem! The dishes are bursting with bold, authentic flavors—spicy, fragrant, and incredibly satisfying. From the perfectly cooked stir-fries to the tender braised pork, every bite feels like a trip to Hunan. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Highly recommended for real lovers of Chinese food!

Back at Taste of Hunan, one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in San Diego, for a meal. The two of us ordered three dishes and specifically requested no spicy, but one dish still ended up being very spicy. The other dishes were quite tasty. The total for the three dishes came to $76, which is around five hundred RMB!

Con: Wait was unusually long, we sat down at 7:06 pm, our first dish - the century egg / eggplant came out 7:42 pm and our last dish came out 8:06 pm had to wait 20 mins for all of our dishes to come out. We went on a Sunday night and the dinner rush was slowing down. Besides the risk of this wait, I highly recommend this San Diego gem.

Delicious Chinese cuisine. We ordered the mapo tofu, pickled fish soup, stir fry cabbage, and spicy stir fry beef. The dishes are not overly spicy, so perfect for the average person. The service is great as well, always making sure our table was having a great time.

Taste of Hunan is the hidden gem of Chinese cuisine in San Diego. Authentic Chinese flavor that is hard to find outside of China. The smashed eggplants lives up to the hype and they offer a wide vegetarian option. I end up finding myself back here every month for my Chinese cravings.

We had two standout dishes that made this meal truly memorable:

🍲 Simmered chicken with shiitake mushrooms and chestnuts – A rich, creamy broth full of tender chicken and shiitake mushrooms. The depth of flavor and warmth made it perfect comfort food.

🐟 Grilled fish with secret sauce – Crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and drenched in a bold, savory chili sauce with fresh peppers and garlic. The fish was perfectly cooked and loaded with flavor.

Both dishes were hearty, beautifully presented, and full of authentic taste. Highly recommended for anyone craving traditional Chinese flavors with great execution.
