    Chicken Parmigiana
    Nessa R.

    Disclaimer: Late review! How do I not have a review! Shame on me! We made an impromptu reservation at Huncho House. We got to the restaurant and were welcomed to a sign that read, "make our way to 1123". Thank goodness it's directly across the street. We walked into 1123 and they honored the entire experience as if they were Huncho House, complimentary champagne, yay; nothing was amiss. We were able to order off the Huncho House menu which I was happy about because that is where we wanted to dine. For those that don't know, Huncho House is a little treasure in the College Park area. Everything is always good and Chef Tobias menu never misses! Let's get into it! Deviled Eggs - They put a fried shrimp on top! These are a fave! Wagyu Cheesesteak Egg Rolls - OMG good! Oyster Rockefeller- Delicious! Chicken Parmigiana- Fantastic! Lamb Chops - Full of flavor! Filet Mignon - Soft, seasoned to perfection! Crab Oscar - perfect touch! Sides: Must do Lobster Mash, Crab Mac and Cheese! A fan of anything Chef Tobias! Come you WILL not be disappointed!

    Huncho House was the first stop on my DC food tour. Me and seven of my friends flew to DC for the "DC food experience" we've heard so much about and HH did not disappoint. The ambiance was beautiful. We made reservations and due to the traffic we weren't aware of, we weren't going to make our reservation time. We called the restaurant and asked if we could move our time and they allowed us to. TOP TIER SERVICE and we hadn't even arrived yet. Once we arrived we were escorted to our table. I loved the welcoming champagne that was brought to our table. That was a wonderful touch. Our waitress was so cute, bubbly and very knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered our drinks. I ordered a Espresso Martini and it was delicious. We also ordered the Deviled eggs. The Lobster Rigatoni, Lamb Chops and the mac and cheese. Everything was amazing. Chef Tobias is doing his big one with this restaurant. Good vibes, great drinks, delicious food. I'll definitely be back.

    Finally made it to Huncho house (it's merged with his other restaurant 1123 currently) still very good, service and quality of the food.

    Strawberry cream cheese French toast

    Decided to go for Mother's Day. My reservation was for 4pm. It was still the brunch menu, and they were out of a lot of their menu items. I decided on the stuffed strawberry cream cheese French toast, 5/10. sadly disappointed due to only squiggling squirts of cream cheese on the plate and not in the French toast. The price was rather high for fried bread. I was looking forward to their regular menu. The drinks were definitely a 10/10. We were placed in a back room but the service was great, we just felt a little rushed. I will give it a try again, maybe in the future.

    The food and the server were great. We came with a party of 6. There was a lot of energy in the place. It matched the energy of our party because we just wanted to have a fun Friday. Very nice interior. We got the jerk chicken lollipops, Mac and cheese, crab cakes and steak. We also got complimentary champagne, maybe because of our party size? We weren't rushed. Our reservation was for 7:45 and we got out at 10:15. The conversation was good so we didn't mind. The only bad part is that the food and drinks didn't all come out at once. Some people got their drinks and apps before others, but it wasn't long gaps in between. It didn't ruin the experience. A tip is to ask the price for the items that do not have price tags by them. It's not what you think so it's better to be clear. For example, we were debating the snapper, which looked good, but was $75 and did not have the price listed. I didn't expect that and it made us change our mind. Don't assume!

    I am soooo happy I gave this restaurant another chance. I was able dine there with some new friends who got great reservations. Everything was great. The hostess at the front greeted us kindly and offered us complimentary glasses of champagne. We were seated immediately. Our waitress, Shakira, was AMAZING!!! Give her a RAISE!!! She was attentive and gave great recommendations. She took pictures of me at the end of the night. She was so sweet and made Our girls night out even better! We had our APPS: shrimp, egg rolls, and deviled eggs: delicious. Our MAINS: I had the salmon fried rice with the crab mac and cheese. Soooo good! I ordered the lavender lemon drop. Very nice! Lastly, I tasted my friend's cheesecake. Absolutely divine!!!! My final rating is for the decor: View the pics. It's absolutely beautiful and very cozy because it's a smaller venue from it's sister restaurant 1123. 5 stars, 10/10 MINUS NOTHING!!!!!!!!

    3.5 star rounded up. Though the servers have good customer service, the amount of wait time from walking into the building is a bit excessive. 10-15 minute wait with a reservation (we were given complimentary champagne). Multiple tables having to flag down any waiter just to get service. Very small restaurant and the tables are low + fairly close together. As for the food, I would give it 5 stars. The crab stuffed oysters were absolutely incredible and make me wait to visit again for those alone! Some meals seemed a little too simple for the prices, but the variety was good and the bites we had were delicious.

    Honestly this place is very cute. Welcoming entrance with a small glass of champagne (very good btw). Charbroiled oysters: 9/10 Spicy Lobster Mezi Rigatoni: 8.8/10 Highly recommend!!

    Before arriving at the restaurant we got a phone call stating the restaurant was temporarily CLOSED and operating down the street at 1123 restaurant. That was a bit odd but we went with it. I reviewed the menu before arriving as well. When we arrived at the restuarant, it was indeed down the street but we found out that Huncho House joined with another restuarant called Solo's Den and they renamed the restaurant 1123. Upon arriving we received a sip of champagne (yes just a sip tasting) complimentary of course. The "new temporary" location was more spacious than the original location which was okay but the table were close together. Where if you got up you have to excuse yourself for touching or being over other customers table. We received the menus and they nothing like menu we saw online. Since Huncho merged with Solo's Den to create 1123 the menu is not Asian African infusion that also comes with a sushi menu. Now the food..we ordered the deviled eggs with fried chicken thighs and hot honey and cheesesteak fusion rolls for the appetizer. My friend she ordered the whole branzino dish and I ordered the Asian steak (that is the name of the dish) medium with mushrooms and garlic mash potatoes for the sides. Unfortunately when my steak was served at the table it was well done. I let the waitress know my steak was not cooked to medium and she took it back to the chef. They did prepare another steak which came out cooked correctly the second time. Since I was not drinking I ordered the Hibiscus Mule which was tasty. The service was okay overall but it was alittle slow. The waitress and staff were slow to fill water glasses and drink orders. We literally saw the bar staff standing around behind the bar talking doing nothing through out our time there. Also the serving staff was moving too fast causing spillage off of plates onto the tables and into drinks. Lastly we asked the staff how long they were going to be in that location temporarily and they stated they didnt know because the other location has HVAC issues. My overall experience was just okay, but if Huncho has indeed merged with Solo's Den to create 1123, why keep the other Huncho house menu on the website because now if you arrived you will be confused and disappointed because customers are not seeing the same menu or prices.

    Wow! I'm so glad I finally booked the restaurant. I've been a fan of his from Food Network. Had co-workers in town from down south. They appreciated the friendly staff, ambiance, and delicious food. So happy to see Tobias there and working after his injury last year. Would definitely recommend the cheesesteak eggrolls, short rib, brussel sprouts, and lobster ravioli. Table next to us had deviled eggs that looked delish also.

    My friend and I chose this restaurant in support of Black History Month because the owners are black! The restaurant was very good but I would have made some small changes to make the experience great. The oysters my friend got were really good. The flavors were spot on. My shrimp was cool I just personally wish it was spicier and the batter crispier. The lobster pasta was very good flavor wise, perfect level of spiciness, I would have just changed my noodles because they were chewy. As far as service, it did take a while to get seated despite us having reservations. They did offer us complimentary champagne during the wait which was nice. The food delivery was a little slow but not terrible. My only real complaint is the seating. It's a small restaurant so the tables are very close together and the seats are also really low to the ground. My friend and I have long legs and our legs at the end of dinner were very stiff! I think the restaurant is on the right track they just have to make a few small tweaks.

    We had a reservation for 7:30pm we were greeted with complimentary champagne. And we waited 10 minutes to be seated. Restaurant is small but it has a nice ambiance. We were seated a nice young man asked us if we wanted water. We waited 17 minutes for our waitress. We both ordered cocktail laugh now cry later we both rate it 8.5 it has a good taste and the buzz creeps up on you. We both had two. Appetizers crab fried devil eggs it was a special $28, 10/10. Entrees I got the lamb chops and bae got salmon & crab fried rice. Plus we ordered sides lobster potatoes & Brussels sprouts. We both rate the Brussels sprouts 9.5/10 & lobster mash potatoes 9.5/10. My lamb chops were 10/10 & bae salmon was hot but her crab fried rice was cold 8/10. We ordered cheesesteak egg rolls And oysters to go. Overall the service was good the food was good so se give the restaurant 8/10.

    Okay I'm a Lil' late with this review, forgive me. Myself and wife dined here for our anniversary dinner, it was her choice, and man this place is nice, always packed, it's best to make reservations in advance + it's black-owned and operated. The atmosphere, ambience, and service was 10++ and the food was amazing. The only thing is the parking situation, which was you can park on the street, which is difficult finding a space; then their is a local garage across and up the street just a bit. It's like a 2-5 minute process. Other than that I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves fine dining.

    Ask the Community - Huncho House

    Is this restaurant reservation only?

    Yes it is which is sometimes limited due to being booked weeks in advance.

    How is the bar seating? That's the only option we can find for seating at this time.

    There are three main areas; high top tables next to the bar, the main dining area and 2 to 3 bar seats facing the kitchen. I personally would wait until the main dining area opens up. The place is pretty small.

    What are the requirements for the chef's table and what, if anything, is included with making a reservation for that area?

    Chef's table (as of most recent), is seating at the kitchen counter-which is bar height, and facing the kitchen. It includes a shot with the head chef (of that night), personal waiter, and observing the "behind the scenes" look at the kitchen. No… Read more

    Is there a bar or is a reservation required?

    There is a bar, but it's not for patrons. It's for the staff to put in and retrieve drink orders. Reservations are needed.

Ordering online is relatively easy and every time I've done it my salad(s) have been ready when I arrive. I like the variety of toppings and options they offer. I do wish I could switch out one type of protein for another without being charged (for example, I'd rather have grilled chicken on the Asian chicken salad over the breaded chicken) and I wish the salad dressings were slightly bolder, but overall the salads are tasty and fresh. The service has also been fantastic every time I've gone. Most recently, the online ordering platform was glitching a bit and I accidentally ordered two of the same salad instead of two different ones. I went to pick it up, and the employee did ask to confirm I wanted 2 of the exact same things. When we realized what happened, he made my husbands salad and let me keep both of mine. I offered to pay for his salad since it was my error, but they were gracious and let me take all 3 salads for the price of 2. I really appreciated how well the employee handled the situation - he could told me "too bad so sad" or grumbled when I asked to fix it, but he didn't. He solved the problem with a smile on his face. I'll definitely keep coming here. I love a good salad and the service makes it even better.

That said, the chicken parm itself was still good, I just wasn't expecting it on a salad. Overall, the food quality is there, just make sure you're ordering exactly what you want.
