Very authentic and high quality ingredients! Cannot recommend this place enough, but only for ppl who like spicy food! The mint and lemon in their water is a very nice detail and they refill it when it gets low without you asking.
Have been dining here for 10+ years. Dish quality is dropping. The dishes are super salty. It covers original taste of food and also indicates materials are not fresh. 10/8/2025 - The restaurant called me in the following day and thanked my feedback. It is a positive attitude!
Delicious food and very attentive staff Very spicy food. The wait was a bit long (around 40 min) but definitely worth it.
Hunan Impression is my all-time favorite restaurant in the South Bay. The food is spicy, flavorful, and just as good as Ping’s Bistro in Fremont — but much closer! Every dish is bold and delicious, true to Hunan style. The only downside is the price per dish is a bit high, which makes it more of an occasional treat than an everyday go-to. Still, absolutely worth it for the quality and taste.
Great service, dishes came very quickly, server was responsive when we asked for something. Although Hunan cuisine is known for being very spicy, they definitely toned the spice level down to suit the locals. We asked for less spicy which was perfect for our likings. People eating at our table were from Taiwan, Wuhan, 潮汕 for references. Every dish was absolutely delicious and makes you crave more. The fried intestines were my favorite, not even a tiny bit of off flavor, they cleaned it to perfection.
