Excellent meal at Sohunan. The service was really nice and welcoming. The flavour of the food first class. We had dumplings, Mongolian beef and Orange Chicken...really good. One of the best meals we have had on our trip to San Francisco.

Food was extremely good. The smoked pork belly and Bean Curd with Meat sauce was full of spice. The dumplings were some of the best I’ve ever had. I highly recommend.

Expensive, small portion, below average taste - not worth it

Incredible food, quality, very competitively priced. A great example of fresh californian ingredients paired with amazing chinese cooking. Ray was also one of the best waiters I’ve had - Michelin star level service from him. Super attentive, it was almost like he had a sixth sense for what you needed within seconds without ever feeling like he was overbearing. Seriously impressive.

First of all, I was a huge fan of Henry's Hunan. The restaurant they had on Sansome Street was one of my favorite restaurants, period. The branches of the family have successfully continued the Henry's dining experience. However, SoHunan is sadly disappointing. Not disappointing to Henry's standards, just plain ole disappointing. It doesn't please me to write bad reviews, but after spending close to a Benjamin on a handful of their dishes, nothing was even close to good enough to bring me back. We ordered the usuals, that should be home runs for any Chinese restaurant, but all were either too sweet, syrupy, under fried, or just plain ole below average. I really wished to be a regular customer, but I sadly I won't be coming back.

Ordered Takeout so I cannot comment on service, but the food was certainly tasty. Smaller portion than what I was expecting for Chinese takeout... but food was also more tasty than other Chinese takeout...

The food and service were great. We got the Kung Pao Chicken, Dumplings, and Mongolian beef. I went there on Monday evening and it wasn't too busy. I also had my dog with me and they didn't complain. So I'd say it is dog friendly if your dog is friendly.
Amazing food, the service was great, small location but food is worth visiting.

We hit SF for the Chinese New Year Parade today (Year of the Dragon). We arrived early so we could knock off our bucket list item of strolling through Chinatown, as well as fi d a great place to watch the parade. Of course, we all were starving by the time we parked the car, and were looking for the first decent restaurant in the area. Option 1 was to go straight to the crowded Chinatown area or, Option 2, head in the opposite direction.We smartly chose Option 2 and were very pleased with our choice. We strolled up to Sohunan, which was empty (because everyone was flooding the main drag), and were immediately seated. Moments later, our order was taken. The food was amazing! Mom had the veggie chow mein, while munchkin and I had curry chicken and port dumplings. Absolutely. To. Die. For!!!!!And, we were told that everything is made from scratch. They even have chili sauce for sale.We can't wait to go back.Thank you SO much for your hospitality, attentiveness, clean, bright eatery with amazingly flavorful nummies!!! See you next time!!!

It was a small place for a group of 6, but our order was served quickly. Some of the food (Mongolian beef, veggie chowmein) tasted pretty good, but the hot/sour chicken was too sour. Also, the portions are on the smaller side.

Absolutely delicious! Food was fresh and savory. We had the the dumplings, meat noodles, and smoked pork belly. All were 10/10. Their in-house chili oil sauce is incredible. Bought a jar to take home!

Super super yummy! I highly recommend everyone try this FiDi location out. I normally hate schlepping to the FiDi, but this place is worth it. And there's a parking garage across the street too (typical overpriced FiDi one, but hey, it's there). More importantly, if you're fan of spicy Chinese food, this is a great choice for you! My work recently had a party here (upstairs can hold up to 40 people), and came again with my family. Both times the food was super delicious! It's so great to find authentic Chinese food that has depth of flavor. And you can taste that the ingredients are top notch too. And they don't use MSG! That's tough to find and a rare gem for anyone sensitive to MSG. In addition to their Sohunan classics, which have been around for decades, this location also includes a few authentic Hunan Chinese dishes not found at other Sohunan of Henry Hunan locations. And while most of their menu is spicy, but most dishes can be made non-spicy (except for the special menu items). If you're into the spice, they make their own pickled jalapeños and peppers! One of my favorites is the Salt and Pepper spicy beef. This is truly spicy, so not for the faint of tongue. But it's got such a great sour and salty taste that I can't get enough. But you're chugging water as you eat it as it definitely leaves a solid burn in your mouth. My kids loved the Hunan dumplings! They don't skimp on the filling and each dumpling felt very hearty. It's supposed to be spicy, but I asked for the spice on the side, and they totally did it! My kids could eat it and I could scoop the spicy chili I wanted from a side dish. There are several more dishes that we ordered that was delicious, including their pork belly, sweet and sour chicken, mapo tofu, sautéed noodles, etc. But the ones that really stood out for me are the Salt and Pepper spicy beef and their dumplings. The owners are kind, thoughtful, and really care about the food they are serving. And they're related to the original Sohunan of Henry's Hunan, so they are carrying on their family tradition. This is a great place for lunch, to bring friends, or even for a party as their upstairs room can hold around 40. Good to know as most restaurants don't have this ability. And their upstairs space is modern and upscale looking, so a great choice for a work event. Definitely come check this place out.
