| - House of Hunan has been one of my favorite Northeastern Ohio Asian restaurants for many years now. I have had the pleasure of sampling a wide array of items on their menu. In over 20 years, I have never had a bad meal at any of their locations (2 Locations also in Akron, Ohio), including this one which is my favorite. The food not only is always fresh, and has a very balanced flavor, but it is also presented very well, and often has a certain elegance about it. Their won ton soup is exceptional! If you like Pad Thai, it's definitely worth having here. Also, I recommend the Empress Chicken if you want something slightly sweet, but tangy too. I would also like to mention that I live about 45 minutes away from House of Hunan, but I will make an extra effort when I am in the area to make sure to stop in for lunch, or dinner.
In regard to service, I have noticed that their service staff does seem to change frequently. However, I have enjoyed good service there over the years regardless of the size of my party, or whether it was during lunch, or dinner.
The dining room has a trendy, Zen inspired Asian design. I would describe it as leaning towards a casual, but slightly more upscale type of ambiance which is suitable for a date, or just a casual get-together with friends and/or family. In warmer weather, they often open the large sliding panel windows that look out onto the square, and if you are fortunate enough to have a table in the bar are, the people watching can be both entertaining and quite comfortable.
House of Hunan is definitely worth experiencing for yourself if you enjoy casual, but full-service Asian dining with a comfortable, Zen-like vibe.
