House of Hunan
4 reviews for House of Hunan
Terrific all the way around. Definitely one of the finest if not THE finest in the area. Very nice ambiance, great service and the food was excellent across the board.
We had a variety of Asian dishes, as well as a boat-load of sushi and it was all top notch. The biggest surprise was the sushi, very fresh, excellent rice (which is key) and good presentation. Im recently back living in the area after 25 years and House of "Human" is back on the list of favs.
The pad thai is incredible. They give you a giant plate and the service is great. I always try to come here when visiting. The best in Akron.
I should preface this review by saying, although I was born and raised in California, I do not have extensive experience with sushi, and only began eating it in earnest when I knew I would be leaving for Ohio. In fact, I had sushi three times during my last week in California.
I came to House of Hunan on a Wednesday night with two friends. I'm still not used to going to Asian restaurants and not seeing Asian patrons, let alone Asian staff. My friends both ordered chicken dishes, and I had the salmon nigiri and an Alaska sushi roll. The nigiri was surprisingly good, with large pieces of fresh fish and well-prepared rice. However, the roll was less pleasing. The seaweed was tough and soggy, as if the roll had been prepared ahead of time, and although it came with six pieces, the diameter was very small, only a bit larger than a quarter, although the height of each piece was nearly an inch. With the tough seaweed, this made for a rather chewy consumption process.
The service was quite pleasant, if a little on the over-attentive side. Decor and presentation was nice as well.
However, given the many other listings for sushi in the area, I probably won't return for that particular meal.
The sushi is average but most of the Chinese dishes are excellent. The wonton soup is so good that I sometimes eat it as a meal. The waiting staff have never been anything less than awesome. The lunch prices are great.
