This is one of many of our favorites when we visit Palo Alto. The owner and staff are very pleasant and willing to provide service as you wish. We visited with friends and had a very nice meal and time to enjoy our friendship. The owner was gracious providing that special extra that we always appreciate. I have no hesitation... More

My mouth is watering just writing this review! I love H&S soup and this is some of the best--chocked full of yummy goodness with a silky broth that makes it impossible to stop slurping. There is not a bad dish on the menu but I usually pig out on the soup so the rest goes home for the next day.... More

I have known the owner, Simon Yuan, for over 30 years. I first met him, and his family, at the Hunan Homes restaurant in San Francisco's China Town (also an excellent restaurant). Simon is not only a great friend, but an outstanding host. He is extremely personable, and will take the time to talk with you and your guests. His... More

The boyishly and eternally young Simon will treat you to his classically and deliciously prepared Hunan cuisine at this vintage Palo Alto eatery. The salt and pepper fish is to die for as are his superb potstickers....We have never had a dish we did not like and we always appreciate his suggestions...Try it....you will like it as well as the...

I ate here twice, once with about 30 colleagues and then the next night with my sister. The banquet in particular gave me the opportunity to sample many different dishes, and all were just fine. The hot and sour soup, which can be iffy at many restaurants, was also excellent. Sometimes banquets don't give you the opportunity to judge serving... More

There are many Chinese restaurants in the area, but Hunan Garden is definitely the best. The food is delicious and the staff is always extremely friendly. The business is family run and they always greet us when we eat here, which is often. For reasonably priced but upscale authentic Chinese food, Hunan Garden is a must.

Went with a group of 24, ate on the patio. Food was excellent, limited wine selection but very nice New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, excellent service. Patio is very pleasant. Altogether very pleasant evening.

Have been coming to this restaurant for years. The food taste and preparation is consistent. Hubby loves the sesame shrimp and veggie hot and sour soup. Kids like the walnut shrimp and veggie chow main. Waiter or owner always willing to make a suggestion.
