Bend the corner and you reach the double doors that open into a small dining area. You have booths along the wall and a few tables in the middle. We were greeted and sat in one of the booths. We had the soup, and a few entrees- everything was fresh and so good. I didn't take any pics of the food but it was delicious. Definitely coming back.

The sweet basil and savory sauce, noodles cooked El Dante, the beef and mushrooms combination so delicious in every bite. I get medium because I love spicy. I then add that squeeze of lime which adds another level of sweet tang that keeps my fork busy and wanting more. The serving is plenty but I often order a second to take home so I can enjoy that next day. I live about 37 miles away so I can't just go back although I think I could eat there at least twice a month. I also enjoy the beef, asparagus and rice dish. I plan to explore other cuisines once I get tired eating my beef drinking noodles... lol.

I got squid for a change of pace. Today it was the lamb with vegetables. Yum. They are fast, efficient and remarkably kind. The place is clean but don't come expecting bougie. Also, the owner and employees are so honest. I accidentally left my purse with a lot of cash after lunch. When I called the next day, they reassured me they had it. I tried to give them a tip for keeping it safe and returning it to me. They refused and said insisted, "We do this for all our customers."

We ordered spring rolls to share, I ordered pad Thai w/ beef... my cousin ordered a shrimp dish.

The spring rolls were ok, the sauce it comes with is slightly spicy, which was also different. Overall, it's aight.

Is this my new comfort food? The spice level was perfect, the chicken was tender, and the carrots and potatoes were surprisingly great. Nothing fancy here--it's a classic mom-and-pop Thai place--but they did everything right. And for that category, this is easily one of the best I've had in Oakland. The service was good. The boba tea was a great bonus, just enough caffeine to get my afternoon on track. I left full, relaxed, and with enough leftovers for another full meal later. These days it's hard to find a sit-down place that still feels worth the price, but this one absolutely was. Also, the spot itself is kind of cute! I went to the location right by my place in Adams Point, and I'll definitely be back for another lunch special soon.

It's pretty much a mom and pop restaurant. Reminds me of the restaurant we used to have growing up. If my memory is correct, I used to come here like 20 years ago (if it is still the same owners) when I took classes at Merritt College! It's definitely off the beaten path, and once you get to the parking lot, even a little bit more off the beaten path. The shopping center's been updated so definitely looks a lot nicer. They could definitely take down the Christmas wreath and lights already (it's the end of April) So the ambiance/decor could use some updating. It was overall clean, just old. I ordered the prawn and scallop with eggplant (generous portion), also got to try some won ton soup, salt and pepper pork chop , salt and pepper tofu. All good. Most of the folks finished all their food.

But the menu said the lunch plates only came with soup, steamed rice, salad and a the selected entree. Sounded boring. I decided to order some favorite dishes instead. I ordered: Wor Won Ton Soup and Tomato Beef Chow Mein. Tip: A small soup at Hunan Yuan is a medium at other Chinese restaurants. The menu said "Wor Won Ton Soup (S) $14.95." My server insisted that the small soup is a dinner serving. How can a small bowl of soup cost $14.95? I ordered it anyway. It's a medium bowl of soup that could serve two people. It had a light clear broth. The bowl was full of bok choy, chicken, pieces of beef, 1-2 shrimp, and 8-9 small dumplings. More like a snack, than a meal. The Tomato Beef Chow Mein was a sad dish. No flavor! Thick ropey noodles with some sort of sauce. Big chunks of tomato, onions, and bell pepper. It looked beautiful, but had no flavor. Will I return? No thank you! ----------------------------------------------- Hunan Yuan has been in business for 26+ years. It's located in the Lincoln Square Shopping Center in Oakland. -Lots of free parking.
