In my mind, there are tiers of Asian restaurants:
Tier I - Cheap. Greasy. Typical menu. Hits you like a rock. Low quality meats. This place sells a lot of Sweet and Sour Chicken. Primarily take out.
Tier II - Middle of the road. More defined menu. You have your go-to dishes that are consistent. Nicer dining area. No plastic silverware.
Tier III - Nothing bad on the menu - never a regret in selection. Upscale dining room. High quality meats and seafoods. Signature dishes.
For dinner, House of Hunan is a solid III. My favorite dish is Three Cups Chicken, but I have yet to be disappointed. The quality is high an you pay for it, but you leave satisfied.
For lunch, however....order off of the dinner menu, Solid II for mid-day (at least week-day) dining. Same great atmosphere, clearly serving lower quality food. Still better than a I on it's best day, but I'm just saying...
Good Thai and sushi as well!
