	+ ------ + ''2009-11-08 20:37:53'' [[nbsp]] The lunch special is the bomb-diggity! served until 3 pm, only on the weekends. Perfect if you have between-class breaks. Service is usually quick and efficient, however, the waiters aren't very friendly. The best things on the menu are: sesame chicken, chicken salad (amazing dressing), honey walnut prawns, and crab meat wontons....we go here basically at least once a week, so its definitely good. --["Users/mrandmrs"]

Finally, I decided on the sesame chicken, with half chow mein and half white rice. + After the waiter took my order, I was given a pot of hot tea. I have never tried the tea before, but it was rather tasty. The herbal aroma and taste from the tea really sets you in a great mood for the meal. Hunan also gives you a salad as part of the lunch special. I was rather surprised that they offered a side along with the main course and tea. Although the salad didn’t appear to be anything special, it was very tasty. They serve iceberg lettuce, with honey mustard dressing. The honey mustard dressing has a nice sweet and tangy taste to it. Before I even finished my salad, my food had arrived. The service here is quite fast! The meal included a crab won ton, which was my first time having any type of seafood. I fell in love with these won tons. They were so moist and juicy, and when dipping them in the sweet and sour sauce, they were had a very authentic Chinese (Umami) taste. As I began to eat the main course, the chow mein was very tasty, and not too oily. The sesame chicken was cut into thin and crisp slices, and was very tender. The chicken was very tangy and had moderate spice to it. The white rice was simply as any white rice would be expected; it complimented the rest of the meal very well. If you like your food spicy, I recommend adding some of the chili sauce found on the table, which really brings the food to life. Overall, the food had a very authentic taste to it. + Lastly, the service here at Hunan is very good.

	+ ------ + ''2009-07-24 10:14:30'' [[nbsp]] The new location is a bit nicer, and oddly enough, the host and waitress (who I think are the owners?) were more friendly here than at the previous location. The food quality has gone downhill, though, which is sad because it was already deliciously crappy and cheap haha. I wouldn't even pay the ridiculously cheap $6.50 or whatever it is now. The last couple of times I've been there (new and old location) the noodles tasted weird. And for some reason, whenever I've ordered at night, the food has given me a huge stomach ache (but that's never really happened during the afternoon). My friend and I have discussed that maybe they use the same oil all day and so by dinner time it's really dirty and gross. --["Users/Kiran"]

- ------ - ''2008-01-01 10:20:40'' [[nbsp]] There are a few positive things about Hunan: the food is cheap & the service is fast. If you're looking for a place to eat quickly w/o caring about good customer service, then Hunan may be the place for you. My boyfriend and I used to go eat there pretty frequently although we felt that the customer service sucked, but the food was cheap so we figured that everything evened out in the long run. However, after being overcharged about a dollar on our credit card for tip, we decided to never go there again. What I like to do, is leave cash tip on the table while charging the card the exact amount that was due. I don't understand where these people get that they deserve more tip and to scam people's credit card for it. I haven't been back there for months and I recommend going to Noodle Express or Jade Garden. --["Users/SmartenU"] - ------ - ''2008-01-17 15:57:45'' [[nbsp]] It's my first time eating here since I thought I need a new change of chinese restaurants. I paid my bill $18.60, but they charged me $22.32. That's like almost $4!! Nobody should go there anymore and put them out of business. --["Users/hunansucks"] - ------ - ''2008-01-22 15:19:29'' [[nbsp]] customer service is bad here. I enjoy coming here with my sister and boyfriend. however, everytime we come here, the waitress always gives us a "not important" look since we're asian also. Plus, they never refill my water. how sad. :(. Also, once when I order my food, they forgot to put rice and chowmei in it until i told them that my plate was missing some food. the crab cheese wonton is great. fills me up a lot. however, the customer service and charging extra is not part of the kind of service i like. I'd avoid this place now. --["Users/ChiYang"] - ------ - ''2008-02-15 18:14:52'' [[nbsp]] I've never been disappointed. Been there a few times. Very inexpensive for what you get and the food is tasty! The service has always been good (my water glass wasn't ever empty). I'll have to pay attention to my credit card statement, but the food is very good. --["Users/jglovicz"] - ------ - ''2008-03-01 00:01:53'' [[nbsp]] Apparently cannot add up the total bill correctly. Our bill was added incorrectly and tax seemed much higher as well. Do not tip these criminals. In fact, don't even go here. How this resturant got picked as #1 for Davis' Best is beyond me. Service sucks. Portions are INCREDIBLY TINY for dinner. If you read this comment, trust me and don't even think about trying Hunans. I'm also never going to trust Davis' Best again. This place is a rip-off joint. --["Users/soohoo"] - ------ - ''2008-03-05 02:44:50'' [[nbsp]] First off, let me say I love Hunan. My favorite chinese food in davis with sesame chicken to die for. Now, onto this credit card business - I finally figured it out! Like many on here I too thought I was being overcharged because when I would get take out I wouldn't leave a tip on the cc slip, but on my bank statement online my total would always be exactly 20 percent more. This seems to be the case for everyone, since, as mr "hunansucks" states above his total should have been 18.60, not 22.32, which is 18.60 with a 20 percent tip. I, like others, thought they were giving them self a nice little bonus, but after months and months I finally happened to notice that once the charge on my bank statement went from "pending" to not pending, the right amount was charged to my account. For some reason the pending charge estimates a twenty perecent tip, but that is not the actual amount that will be taken from your account - the total you write on the cc slip is the actual amount they will eventually charge you. This appears to be the case over at cafe chamonix as well, so I guess there are some odd credit card transaction systems in Davis that total things up this way. So everyone that thinks they were robbed by Hunan - go back and check your account! I think you will discover the same thing I have, in which case we should chastise them only for having a stupid credit card system, not for stealing.

- upon finishing this and reading all the comments on this page I realize that a few people have already made mention of how their credit system works, but it appears people need it explained again so I'm going to leave my comment for now. --["Users/JakeJames"] - ------ - ''2008-03-16 18:50:27'' [[nbsp]] There food is pretty good for their price, especially during lunch. However, the employees there do not seem happy at all, so it kind of ruins my mood too. Barely any eye contact, no smiles or no greetings. --["Users/AlexN"] - ------ - ''2008-03-18 23:11:08'' [[nbsp]] Wow, so many whiners on this page. The building that Hunan is located in smells like a doctor's office, yes. The neon signs remind me of a cheap Vegas joint, agreed. But if you like food that tastes good (just don't think about the MSG content), aren't picky about authenticity, and don't enjoy paying thirty bucks for an entree, give it a try. I heart their lunch specials - you get a soup or salad, rice, chow mein, and a crab cheese wanton for around seven bucks with tip. I haven't had a problem with the service, they keep the water refills coming. And I think it's been established that you shouldn't use your credit card here either, so just pay with cash, eat, and be happy. --["Users/RoseRed"] - ------ - ''2008-03-30 22:53:20'' [[nbsp]] Tonight we ate at Hunan's. The food was tasty. I ordered the big bowl of Hot&Sour soup and my dinner date ordered the tofu. Service was so-so. We went late (around 8:45pm) and so we had to order fast because they were closing the kitchen. And then we had to pay quickly because they were shutting down their registers or whatever. Anyway, just know that if you go within an hour of closing time, they will rush you. --["Users/CurlyGirl26"] - ------ - ''2008-03-30 22:54:00'' [[nbsp]] Oh and the bill was hella cheap. Yea, I said hella. --["Users/CurlyGirl26"] - ------ - ''2008-03-31 18:14:00'' [[nbsp]] I agree with the above comment. A several fridays ago, I called in an order (large veg hot & sour soup...sooooo good) at 10pm and told them I'd be there in about 15 minutes. I work a block away and would be getting off work at 10:10, so I figured they'd have it ready since it usually takes them 10 minutes to make it. I got there at 10:15pm, and the door was already locked. I knocked a few and about 5 minutes later, they answered as if I was bothering them. I was used to the service so I wasn't irked. But I was suprised that they were already closed despite knowing I was coming when I said I would. They rushed me out after I paid for the food that was already waiting for me at the register. I love the food, but sometimes this place is just odd... --["Users/SunjeetBaadkar"] - ------ - ''2008-04-05 18:42:35'' [[nbsp]] Their food? they were ok, but their price is very cheap. but I won't recommend my friends to go there at all. I been there two time with my friends. The first time i went there i found hair in my food, and i told the waiter about it, and he told me that he will change the plate for me. As he gave it to me, i noticed is the same plate but with some more food. I didn't mind to bother him more, so i just totally ignored it. The second time i went there with 3 of my friends. We got FOOD POISONING....four of us are having tummyache and one of them threw up as we walk out the restaurant. We went back to tell the manager to check if their food are dirty or not. We are not looking for money back or anything but asking the manager to be careful next time. Instead of giving us an apologize, he told us that is our fault that we have bad stomach. Logically, how can FOUR of us all stomachache at the same time? we are not the same person. Therefore, wE asked him to show us a license where it shows if they have a good grade of cleanness. The manager told us that he don't have it, and that all the restaurant that have grading ( A , B, C) are the dirty ones. It was useless giving a lesson to him, so we decided never go there again, because their service sucks, their manager sucks. --["Users/yukarinan"] - ------ - ''2008-05-04 12:58:50'' [[nbsp]] after reading the mixed reviews on this page, i called in an order of general chicken. I must say i was pleasantly surprised; it was very flavorful (i dont particularly care about MSG ), with just enough spice, and the chicken itself was perfectly cooked. i was quite impressed. cannot say about the service, though, because even though they said it would be ready in 10 minutes, i got there in 10 minutes and waited another 10. the restaurant was also nearly empty at the time. i would recommend the general chicken though. --["Users/boristheblade"] - ------ - ''2008-05-19 17:00:18'' [[nbsp]] I have to say I wasn't very impressed. It might have been because I went in with pretty high expectations, but sadly they were not fulfilled. I went with a friend of mine and got the Family Diner A. The service was measly compared to Silver Dragon, but the food was ok. It was not the best Chinese I have ever had, but it wasn't the worst either. I probably wouldn't go back. I'd prefer Silver Dragon for the lower prices and larger quantities as well as the engaging atmosphere. The servers at Hunan were not very friendly. I might have to try lunch sometime. --["Users/VTang"] - ------ - ''2008-05-21 22:19:42'' [[nbsp]] THE WORST SERVICE CAN BE FOUND AT HUNAN. Instead of asking if we were done with our soup they just grabbed our bowls right from underneath us. The waiter, the son of the owners, made us feel guilty for asking for something. There was only one good waiter (probably the only one not related to the owners)- I made sure to give him the tip as we left the restaurant. Finally, they stole my 7 year old daughter's purse. Only after I yelled in their faces in front of other patrons did they actually find my daughter's purse. Thank God I paid in cash. --["Users/Misha"] - ------ - ''2008-05-28 16:37:32'' [[nbsp]] O.K... The over charging, bad food, and poor service is NOTHING compared to the BIG FAT COCK ROACHES that I saw on my visit. Not 1 not 2 but 3 of them crawled on the table and the nearby wall! - The manager, owner, or whom ever also provided me with a faded copy of the exterminators receipt. - So Gross!!! --["Users/Sherri"] - ------ - ''2008-05-29 18:39:44'' [[nbsp]] actually the credit card company is the one that calculates a twenty percent tip into the total in order to cover any tip you might leave, once the restaurant settles the batch it should update the amount and as said before, once it is done "pending" the charge should be correct. If it is not correct after it has finished pending, you need to call the restaurant and your credit card company. --["Users/memphisraines"] - ------ - ''2008-06-07 14:30:49'' [[nbsp]] Sesame chicken lunch special SEE HERE --> http://i29.tinypic.com/sllhqt.jpg Mmm delicious. It was $5.50 total. Save yourself some cash, and support the small restaurants. (Screw Panda!) --["Users/KNT"] - ------ - ''2008-06-24 01:35:43'' [[nbsp]] They make a damn good quick hot lunch. I'm never disappointed with the quality of food or service. I wish some of the other establishments in town took cues from Hunan. --["Users/johnharth"] - ------ - ''2008-06-24 02:25:03'' [[nbsp]] This place probably has the best Chinese food in Davis, at least among the places I've tried. Prices were good. Food was very good. Yum! --["Users/IDoNotExist"] - ------ - ''2008-07-03 16:58:43'' [[nbsp]] You cannot beat Hunan's 5 dollar happy luncheons. They are generally fast in their service, so I don't care that they're not particularly "friendly". I love the general chicken! --["Users/RMC"] - ------ - ''2008-07-05 14:58:16'' [[nbsp]] Lunch special is cheap which is great, but like any other chinese restaurant, there are things that you shouldn't keep in mind when eating; like the poor hygiene of the guy with the overly long nail. The food is good for Chinese food, but again like any other Chinese food, it's really saucey.....too much sauce! good for what it is.... --["Users/islandboy12"] - ------ - ''2008-07-05 19:20:57'' [[nbsp]] Ignore the Chinese people whining about authentic food. Go to China already and stop complaining. This place has the best Chinese food in Davis, is reasonably priced, good atmosphere, good service, and also doesn't have any health code violations in the past two years! You can't go wrong. --["Users/JimBob"] - ------ - ''2008-07-13 06:58:41'' [[nbsp]] Overcharged my credit card. They charged my credit card 68 cents more than what I wrote down to pay. Not much but it's still theft. tip: pay with CASH! --["Users/silver08"] - * ''See ["authorization hold"] for more information.'' - ------ - ''2008-07-24 21:42:33'' [[nbsp]] People don't seem to get this yet, so I'll say it again: THEY DON'T STEAL MONEY! Hunan credit card machines estimate a twenty percent tip, so while the transaction is pending it may seem like they overcharged the amount you wanted to pay, but when the transaction is finished pending the right amount will be taken from your account. --["Users/JakeJames"] - * Yup... just like most other restaurants and gas stations. It's a common mistaken complaint. See ["authorization hold"] for more information. --["Users/JabberWokky" Evan 'JabberWokky' Edwards] - * Incorrect - they DO overcharge, several times (especially when I left low tips). I've had them overcharge me from pennies to up to forty cents. And it had absolutely NOTHING to do with authorization holds. Besides, if that was the only reason you'd expect to see more complaints off it at other restaurant pages around here. -["Edwins" ES] - ------ - ''2008-08-23 01:40:38'' [[nbsp]] They have really good potstickers. Its really rare to find potstickers of this quality. Just try them and you'll know what I'm talking about. --["Users/StevenLee"] - ------ - ''2008-10-02 22:59:52'' [[nbsp]] Does anyone know what kind of salad dressing they use on the lunch special salads? I LOVE it :p --["Users/ellenislove"] - ------ - ''2008-10-03 22:37:51'' [[nbsp]] Edible. --["Users/CovertProfessor"] - - * Anything is edible if you just food it. --["Users/SunjeetBaadkar"] - * I've never seen the word "food" used as a verb. To food... I will food... You should food... Let's food... --["Users/TaniaG"] - * You can do anything if you just verbify it. --["Users/SunjeetBaadkar"] - Yea, like googling. I google the S** out of everything these days. --["Users/CurlyGirl26"] - ------ - ''2008-10-05 14:50:59'' [[nbsp]] I wanted to check on the accusations made on this page for myself, so I deliberately paid with my credit card, and since it was for take-out, gave only a nominal tip ($1). It was true that the pending charge was for a larger amount, but once the charge went through, it was for the correct amount. Of course, mistakes could have been made in other cases; I can't prove that they weren't. But I was not overcharged. --["Users/CovertProfessor"] - ------ - ''2008-10-12 10:23:08'' [[nbsp]] Although they try to make a fancy restaurant setting, the food is really just Chinese fast food. The only thing I found impressive about the place was that for their lunch specials you can noodles and rice, which makes it a filling meal. Also, I like their walnut shrimp. --["Users/feichu-huya"] - ------ - ''2008-11-24 19:37:37'' [[nbsp]] My wife and I went to Hunan tonight and had a horrible experience. After the waiter took our order, he went to the bar area only to start a conversation with his coworkers and never returned to check on us. A waitress brought us the food and found out one of the orders was wrong, and then she just walked away without saying a word. A few moments later, the waiter who initially took our order returned with the right dish and placed it on our table without saying a word. At this point, we felt as if we did something wrong. Throughout our entire dinner, no one ever came by our table to ask if we were doing ok. At the end of our dinner, we really just wanted to leave the place and never return. When I paid for our dinner at the front, I told the manager that one of the dishes (this is the dish that they got wrong in the first place) tasted really funky, but he just played dumb by not saying a word – I was really starting to notice a pattern there. It would be a different story if we finished the food and complained about the taste, the manager saw the almost untouched dish on our table. Service is an essential part of the restaurant business and one horrific experience is more than enough for any customers. --["Users/nelsoncc"] - ------ - ''2008-12-01 12:41:34'' [[nbsp]] I've come to the conclusion that Hunan's has the best Hot and Sour soup in Davis --["Users/SharmiBasu"]

Second, short of you witnessing the waiter spit in your food, NEVER omit a tip (and 7% might as well be 0%) - this will only make service worse. Last, remember: the food is cheap. They don't make their money splitting checks. They make them by turning tables. Although the cashier might gripe a little, I've never experienced true rudeness from any of the staff. Like most servers, they're probably overworked and under-appreciated. Just my two cents, FWIW. --["Users/BigRedGiraffe"]

When my friend and I were seated we waited 10 minutes to get just water and menus, which were only given to us upon request. I requested tea as well, and they brought 1 cup for 2 people. The food came out in an average amount of time and tasted good. After we were done and went to went to pay for the meal, we requested that the check be split. The person working the register said..."I guess" and then proceeded to lecture us on how hard we were making his job, and that when we "got out into the real world" we would understand this. Both my friend and I have worked in the restaurant industry for a number of years and understand that it takes no more than 30 seconds to split a two person check. It was almost enough to cause me to go back in and remove the tip from the table. + + Long story short, if you want the food, get take out, because the customer service is absolutely horrible. --["Users/davisreviewer"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-03-08 16:47:10'' [[nbsp]] In short: If you are willing to endure bad service for great (albeit Americanized) cheap food, this is the place for you. I went last night as one of a party of five, including some non-students. We had to wait for about five minutes, but that wasn't a problem. The waiter took our order, we waited for about thirty minutes with not a trace of food, not even the soup we'd ordered. Meanwhile, two parties that had been seated after us had been served. We flagged down a waitress, who told us very promptly that our waiter had left our order in his pocket and forgot to place it- interesting that she knew this and didn't bother to tell us. Our waiter came back to our table, offering us free soda about five times before he finally got the hint and walked away. When he brought the food out about fifteen minutes later, he had the order wrong. The food itself was excellent, though. MAJOR HINT HERE: If you order something with meat and vegetables (e.g. Mongolian Beef, Sweet and Sour Shrimp), they seriously skimp on the meat and put in as many veggies as they can, so ask for no veggies if you know you like Mongolian Beef and lots of it. We had planned not to tip, but one of my friends felt bad and left three dollars, about 7% of our $45 bill. Hopefully that got the point across. The food is good and so are the prices, but the service is awful and I feel like we got the short end of the stick mainly because we are undergrads and they think we'll wait for anything. --["Users/acparsons"]

I really only go for the "crab" meat fried wontons but I think from now on I'll just get it to go. I had to wait for the host to even bother looking up from his newspaper to get seated and the waitress started walking away before we were even done ordering.

Although everything taste pretty similar, I still think the variety of items you get is worth it. Seems like people complain about customer service since there's only a few people serving a bunch of tables, but as long as I get to order and get my food on quickly, I'm happy. I'd rather have them leave me alone while I'm eating anyway. They do refill your water often. This is my favorite Chinese place for lunch! --["Users/TonyaNN"]

She ordered lemon chicken that was limp and not very lemony. I had the spicy crispy duck that managed to be dry, a fairly difficult thing to do for duck. All the food came out very late, something that they explained (after bringing out the food) was due to their burning the first duck. Despite spending $30 on dinner, there was no soup or other minor side things that normally go along with ordering two entrees. I got a plate of duck (no sauce), and she got chicken.

When you use your CC at a restaurant, the card is authorized for (if I remember right) 20% more than the amount on the bill (pre-tip) when the bank is contacted. Say you have a $100 bill, and you have $101 in your account. Your card will be denied. This ensures that you can't add, say, a $15 tip AFTER the bank has been contacted that you don't have sufficient funds for.

I have been going to Hunan a few times a week now for the last month, and I have been extremely impressed. Their menu, however, is uneven. Their lemon chicken is lightly marinated in lemon sauce, with delicious tender white meat chicken, while their sweet and sour chicken should be more aptly renamed “sweet and sour sauce with soggy chicken.” Their orange chicken, which is another popular dish, seems to straddle the line between too much sauce and not enough white meat chicken, although the sauce itself is something to crave. (part 1) --["Users/JeffKauf"] - ------ - ''2007-02-11 16:29:31'' [[nbsp]] (part 2) I would recommend the Lemon chicken, and chow mien. But the crabmeat cheese wonton is most impressive. Although, I think to be more honest, Hunan should rename it the cream cheese wonton, since there is about as much crab in the wonton as there is seashore in Davis. For about $4.50 you get eight of these small fried cream cheese pockets, which could alone constitute an entire meal, and often do. The décor in Hunan is something out of the 1980’s, but the restaurant seems clean, and prices are more than reasonable. --["Users/JeffKauf"] - ------ - ''2007-02-24 16:35:31'' [[nbsp]] Do they put crack in the Honey Crispy Walnut Prawns?

We each got a variation of the hot garlic sauce (2 chickens, a pork, and a beef). I was one of the people who got the chicken. All 3 of my friends got sick almost instantly after finishing the meal. 1 friend hurled in the trash can in front of the restaurant. We went back to talk to the manager and told him not to serve the hot garlic sauce, and he REFUSED! He claimed nothing was wrong with his food. We then asked him to see his health inspection letter and he claimed that he was never given one even after 10 YEARS of working there!! He then proceeded to tell us that restaurants that have those health inspection letters were the "bad restaurants"; ALL restaurants need the health inspectors verification!! (They probably failed theirs). Then he kept asking what we wanted him to do, and since he wasn't going to stop serving the sauce, we asked for our money back. He refused to do that too! What a cheap ass! There, my friends were sick from his food, one vomitted in the trash, and he refused to take any responsibility!

A few minutes after we were served the main courses, a long brown cockroach crawled up on the wall we were sitting at. I tried to smash it with a dinner napkin, and some of the roach guts flew outwards, with the damn roach still not dead when it landed on the table. When an older male came up to the table, he was trying to act competent, showing a carbon copy of what he claimed to be an extermination bill, but wouldn't let us see it upclose. To top it all off, after our appetites were utterly diminished, and weren't EVEN going to finish the 'food', he gives us a $6 discount on an $18 bill! - - Never will I ever go to this ROACH hole again.

I prefer to go for Lunch because they have their Happy Luncheon where you get a main entree, side of chow mien (which is so good), side of rice (fried or steamed) and a cream cheese wonton. The best part though is the soup included in the luncheon special. I am a big fan of their tasty soups, oh and the salad is great too. I can never quite decide on soup or salad so I usually just get a salad as well :) Dinner isn't too bad of a deal either as they have a similar option to lunch. Overall the Hunan is prob. some of the best chinese I have had. GO TRY IT! --["Users/hazeleyes16"]

After the waiter took our order, he went to the bar area only to start a conversation with his coworkers and never returned to check on us. A waitress brought us the food and found out one of the orders was wrong, and then she just walked away without saying a word. A few moments later, the waiter who initially took our order returned with the right dish and placed it on our table without saying a word. At this point, we felt as if we did something wrong. Throughout our entire dinner, no one ever came by our table to ask if we were doing ok. At the end of our dinner, we really just wanted to leave the place and never return. When I paid for our dinner at the front, I told the manager that one of the dishes (this is the dish that they got wrong in the first place) tasted really funky, but he just played dumb by not saying a word – I was really starting to notice a pattern there. It would be a different story if we finished the food and complained about the taste, the manager saw the almost untouched dish on our table. Service is an essential part of the restaurant business and one horrific experience is more than enough for any customers. --["Users/nelsoncc"]

Of course, mistakes could have been made in other cases; I can't prove that they weren't. But I was not overcharged. --["Users/CovertProfessor"]

I went with a friend of mine and got the Family Diner A. The service was measly compared to Silver Dragon, but the food was ok. It was not the best Chinese I have ever had, but it wasn't the worst either. I probably wouldn't go back. I'd prefer Silver Dragon for the lower prices and larger quantities as well as the engaging atmosphere. The servers at Hunan were not very friendly. I might have to try lunch sometime. --["Users/VTang"]

I must say i was pleasantly surprised; it was very flavorful (i dont particularly care about MSG ), with just enough spice, and the chicken itself was perfectly cooked. i was quite impressed. cannot say about the service, though, because even though they said it would be ready in 10 minutes, i got there in 10 minutes and waited another 10. the restaurant was also nearly empty at the time. i would recommend the general chicken though. --["Users/boristheblade"]

The first time i went there i found hair in my food, and i told the waiter about it, and he told me that he will change the plate for me. As he gave it to me, i noticed is the same plate but with some more food. I didn't mind to bother him more, so i just totally ignored it. The second time i went there with 3 of my friends. We got FOOD POISONING....four of us are having tummyache and one of them threw up as we walk out the restaurant. We went back to tell the manager to check if their food are dirty or not. We are not looking for money back or anything but asking the manager to be careful next time. Instead of giving us an apologize, he told us that is our fault that we have bad stomach. Logically, how can FOUR of us all stomachache at the same time? we are not the same person. Therefore, wE asked him to show us a license where it shows if they have a good grade of cleanness. The manager told us that he don't have it, and that all the restaurant that have grading ( A , B, C) are the dirty ones. It was useless giving a lesson to him, so we decided never go there again, because their service sucks, their manager sucks. --["Users/yukarinan"]

A several fridays ago, I called in an order (large veg hot & sour soup...sooooo good) at 10pm and told them I'd be there in about 15 minutes. I work a block away and would be getting off work at 10:10, so I figured they'd have it ready since it usually takes them 10 minutes to make it. I got there at 10:15pm, and the door was already locked. I knocked a few and about 5 minutes later, they answered as if I was bothering them. I was used to the service so I wasn't irked. But I was suprised that they were already closed despite knowing I was coming when I said I would. They rushed me out after I paid for the food that was already waiting for me at the register. I love the food, but sometimes this place is just odd... --["Users/SunjeetBaadkar"]

We went late (around 8:45pm) and so we had to order fast because they were closing the kitchen. And then we had to pay quickly because they were shutting down their registers or whatever. Anyway, just know that if you go within an hour of closing time, they will rush you. --["Users/CurlyGirl26"]

The neon signs remind me of a cheap Vegas joint, agreed. But if you like food that tastes good (just don't think about the MSG content), aren't picky about authenticity, and don't enjoy paying thirty bucks for an entree, give it a try. I heart their lunch specials - you get a soup or salad, rice, chow mein, and a crab cheese wanton for around seven bucks with tip. I haven't had a problem with the service, they keep the water refills coming. And I think it's been established that you shouldn't use your credit card here either, so just pay with cash, eat, and be happy. --["Users/RoseRed"]

	+ *Note - Wait for your transaction to finish "pending" on your online bank statement to see whether or not you were charged correctly. Hunan estimates a twenty percent tip regardless of the actual tip you leave in order to make sure that a credit card won't decline when a tip is added. After about two business days, the charge will finish "pending" and the right amount will be taken from your account.

	+ ------ + ''2008-03-05 02:44:50'' [[nbsp]] First off, let me say I love Hunan. My favorite chinese food in davis with sesame chicken to die for. Now, onto this credit card business - I finally figured it out! Like many on here I too thought I was being overcharged because when I would get take out I wouldn't leave a tip on the cc slip, but on my bank statement online my total would always be exactly 20 percent more. This seems to be the case for everyone, since, as mr "hunansucks" states above his total should have been 18.60, not 22.32, which is 18.60 with a 20 percent tip. I, like others, thought they were giving them self a nice little bonus, but after months and months I finally happened to notice that once the charge on my bank statement went from "pending" to not pending, the right amount was charged to my account. For some reason the pending charge estimates a twenty perecent tip, but that is not the actual amount that will be taken from your account - the total you write on the cc slip is the actual amount they will eventually charge you. This appears to be the case over at cafe chamonix as well, so I guess there are some odd credit card transaction systems in Davis that total things up this way. So everyone that thinks they were robbed by Hunan - go back and check your account! I think you will discover the same thing I have, in which case we should chastise them only for having a stupid credit card system, not for stealing. + + upon finishing this and reading all the comments on this page I realize that a few people have already made mention of how their credit system works, but it appears people need it explained better/more so I'm going to leave my comment for now. --["Users/JakeJames"]

I enjoy coming here with my sister and boyfriend. however, everytime we come here, the waitress always gives us a "not important" look since we're asian also. Plus, they never refill my water. how sad. :(. Also, once when I order my food, they forgot to put rice and chowmei in it until i told them that my plate was missing some food. the crab cheese wonton is great. fills me up a lot. however, the customer service and charging extra is not part of the kind of service i like. I'd avoid this place now. --["Users/ChiYang"]

If you're looking for a place to eat quickly w/o caring about good customer service, then Hunan may be the place for you. My boyfriend and I used to go eat there pretty frequently although we felt that the customer service sucked, but the food was cheap so we figured that everything evened out in the long run. However, after being overcharged about a dollar on our credit card for tip, we decided to never go there again. What I like to do, is leave cash tip on the table while charging the card the exact amount that was due. I don't understand where these people get that they deserve more tip and to scam people's credit card for it. I haven't been back there for months and I recommend going to Noodle Express or Jade Garden. --["Users/SmartenU"]
