About Hunan Lion

Hunan Lion, categorized as a Chinese Restaurant located at 4006 S Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX 78704, USA, specializes in Hunan cuisine. They can be contacted at (512) 447-3388 or +1 512-447-3388 for orders and reservations. Based on recent customer reviews, Hunan Lion offers a mix of positive experiences with its food and service.

One customer who ordered takeout found the food generally good, particularly enjoying the cream-stuffed puffs, which were described as crispy and delicious. The sauces for the Lemon Chicken and Sweet and Sour Pork were also well-received, as were the egg rolls, which were individually wrapped. A minor inconvenience was the need to request plastic ware for a hotel stay, though the restaurant did include everything else in the bag. A point of feedback was that the food lost some crispiness during a 15-minute drive due to a lack of ventilation in the to-go containers.

Another reviewer had a highly positive experience, stating that Hunan Lion offers some of the best Hunan Chinese food they have ever had. They specifically praised the Kung Pao Tofu, String Beans with Tofu, and Kung Pao Chicken, noting that all four dishes ordered were fabulous. This reviewer also highlighted the personable and service-oriented nature of both the server and the chef.

Overall, Hunan Lion appears to be a Chinese restaurant that offers flavorful Hunan dishes, with some standout items like the cream-stuffed puffs and well-regarded sauces. The service is noted to be friendly and personable. For takeout orders, it might be worth considering the potential for food to lose crispiness during transit.

Food was good but the rice lacked some flavor. I loved the cream stuffed puffs, crispy and delicious. We ordered takeout and did have to remind them to add plastic ware as we were staying in a hotel. Other than that they place everything in the bag. Sauces were delicious (lemon chicken and sweet and sour pork). Egg rolls were delicious. The egg rolls were wrapped in small baggies. My only gripe is the food lost most of its crispiness because there was no ventilation in the to-go containers. I had a 15 minute drive from the restaurant.

Went on a Sunday night and it wasn't really that busy (probably 40% of the tables were filled) and it took about 30 min to get our food (i was getting a bit impatient but I wouldn't consider it an issue) I ordered the happy family (entree with chicken, beef, shrimp and assorted veggies in brown sauce) and it was a pretty decent portion size for $14. It also came with a bowl of rice which I think was double the amount that most restaurants gives you as a side. The inside aesthetic was cute The service was fine, simple and straight forward

Honestly the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. 10/10. We had the egg rolls - so crispy and flavorful. The pork ribs charred to perfection. The general TSO chicken is beyond amazing. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The mala duck had the best flavor and the duck is so succulent. Highly recommend this place. I almost didn’t want to leave this review because I want it all for myself. The owners are so sweet too. Just a delightful experience all around. Great atmosphere! ✨💗✨

Lo mien and steamed broccoli was good but they didn't include utensils but good thing I had my own chopstick while traveling. Noodles weren't too greasy like most places so that was a A+++ in my book and I'm Asain. Too much grease is nasty like any other food. Wish they would give hot sauce packets too since I like it spicy. I ordered with Uber eats so can't get every option unless in person to request it spicy.
