    I love this place, I lived Petaluma 5 years ago and it was my favorite.As we returning to the area 5 month ago,we tried,oh,my god,it even gets better.The hot N sour soup was fantastic. Yelp reviewer Xiuying Y. 12/5/2010

     

    I went to visit a friend in Petaluma last night to watch the Giants game (which, BTW, was AMAZING and put us into the World Series, because The Beard is the shiz and I love him), so we decided to order something for delivery. Choosing to skip pizza, my friend suggested Hunan Village for delivery. We got orange chicken, Mongolian beef, kung pao chicken, steamed rice and pork fried rice….ALL of it was amazing! I could not get enough of the Mongolian beef or the pork fried rice. I haven’t had Chinese food that was this good in probably 6 years. Since this is the only experience I’ve had with this place, I can’t say whether it’s consistently good and perhaps the negative reviews are from people who went on an “off” day, or whether the negative reviewers are just insane, but as of right now, I really like it. Good flavor, decent service. I’ll definitely go back for a sit-down visit. Yelp reviewer Miss M 10.24.10

     

    Good food, generous portions, and attentive service. Strip mall frontage will fool you, this is worth a return visit. The Singapore street noodle had so much meat and shrimp I couldn’t eat but a third of it and the Crab Wonton had a delicious sweet richness that was hard to resist. I often put soy sauce on my entree, but couldn’t bring myself to tamper with this one.  This is a happy place and the prices kept me smiling. Bring friends when you show up hungry. I am from Louisiana, but this is one restaurant I will try to visit every time I am in Petaluma. Yelp Reviewer Cami M. 10/15/2010

     

    We have been going to Hunan Village since moving here in 2003 and I realized ownership changed so I was worried about the quality changing as well.  So happy I worried for nothing… they must add some secret Chinese ingredient to the BBQ Pork Chowmein because I can not get enough!  I will drive from Dillon Beach- call in my order from the car and park my car and just scarf it down while running other errands…yes, that is me driving with a to-go container balanced on my steering wheel!  Seriously…. its a drug!

    My mother grew up in China and raised us to appreciate good Asian cooking.  She and my family agree that Hunan Village is arguably the best Chinese food in Petaluma.

    I find their sizzling rice soup among the best I’ve had anywhere.  Delicious and highly recommended.

    Their dried string beans are awesome.  The garlic chicken or garlic prawns also fantastic.  My review here is only for the non-fried, spicy meat, seafood, and vegetable dishes.  I can’t comment on the flavor of dishes like sweet and sour — that’s hot candy to me rather than healthful food.

    I notice some Yelpers wrote their reviews of Hunan Village based on takeout.  Really now, I ask you, is having food from a cardboard box that’s fifteen or twenty minutes old really the best way to judge?  I recommend taking the time to go have a sit-down meal.  Takeout is never the same.  Anywhere.
