Hunan Chinese Restaurant

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Woodhouse, Leeds, Hunan Chinese Restaurant offers an authentic taste of traditional Chinese culinary artistry with a special focus on Xiang-style cuisine. This cozy yet lively restaurant invites diners into an immersive dining experience where fragrant spices and fresh ingredients combine to create dishes that sing with bold, nuanced flavors.

At Hunan, the menu reads like a passionate tribute to genuine Chinese flavors. The standout Authentic Xiang Style Special Roast Fish is a must-try — a succulent, whole grilled sea bass infused with medium-spicy seasoning and customizable with your choice of fresh vegetables or meats. Its aroma alone promises a feast for the senses, with a wonderful balance of smoky char and piquant chili that lingers deliciously on the palate. Equally tantalizing are the Hot and Sour Soup, which perfectly balances tangy heat with soothing warmth, and the Duck in Szechuan Sauce, a rich, aromatic dish brimming with layers of spicy complexity.

The dining experience here goes beyond just flavor. Whether you choose to indulge in their thoughtfully curated Chinese Buffet — a £25 all-you-can-eat delight cooked fresh to order — or opt for the Hot Pot Buffet featuring over 40 choices of vegetables, seafood, and meat paired with 5 distinct soup bases, Hunan promises generosity and freshness on every plate. The sit-down buffet style enhances the relaxed, communal atmosphere, perfect for gathering with friends or celebrating special occasions.

Lunch specials provide exceptional value without compromising quality, offering a satisfying set meal at just £8.50, ideal for a mid-day recharge. And for those seeking the comforting flavors of home or venturing into authentic Chinese cuisine for the first time, the staff’s warm, attentive service and English-translated menu make every visit inviting and accessible.
