HU's Szechwan Restaurant in Los Angeles - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Funny thing, the last time I was here was 48 yrs ago. We celebrated my brother's wedding rehearsal at Hu's. Well, we were pleasantly surprised to find out that this Family owned restaurant had survived these many years while many Family Run Restaurants fell victim to rising cost and the recent Pandemic. If you are looking for great Chinese Comfort Food, Hu's is the place. Everything we ordered was good. I especially loved the Hot and Sour Soup. It was very tasty. So, don't be turned off by the extior, the Service and the Food are well worth the trip to Hu's. Plus,Everyone should support good Family Owned Business

Love the Kung pao chicken - its the best! Delicious food

The taste is average, the dishes are small, not available for dine-in, and the price is high

Been their royal customer for over 20 years. Kung pao chicken is by far the best dish, imo. It is so good, I beg my daughter to buy and pack it in her suitcase to bring to PDX

My favorite Chinese in all of LA for over 25 years…don’t like the decor much so we pick up or have delivered often…the owners are a great family too and always show us they appreciate us being regulars

The most delicious Chinese food in all Los Angeles 😋

Wednesday is the only day you can dine inside the restaurant for dinner now, and you need to call to make reservations,according to the staff. Otherwise it’s take out only. The food was simply ok, decent, not outstanding, but we didn’t try the green beans, or other dishes they seem to be famous for, and got nothing spicy. The hot sour soup was neither, not spicy nor sour. But it was warm and filling. Didn’t see any chili oil to add to food. Not sure if we will try them again. Very chilly inside, not wasting $ on heat for one day. It’s their business and they’re running around so it makes sense.

A great restaurant for the best authentic Chinese food. My favorite restaurant in the LA area. The customer service is always excellent ! I love the everything on the menu so many options. If you are in the area give them an opportunity and it will change your mind.

About as authentic as it gets on the West side. 💯 Worth a stop if you want szechwan cuisine. Will be very very tasty.

Amy is an Angel and gave me a few freebies for being a new guest. The Mapo Tofu is increíble and authentic, but Amy’s kindness and generosity is what will bring me back as a guest.

The food was ordered over the phone, and came warm, but extremely underwhelming, disappointing and upsetting for the amount of money for it. $18.00 for a beef and brocolli where the container was not full. When we called to tell them that the containers were not full, we were ridiculed by the male on the phone, after asking for a manager he said "You can speak with me." "We're not a deli. We measure by volume, not weight..." well let me tell you, not only was it very dismissive and rude to state that based on how much money they charge for the small portions, but they ended up having to fix the order, and who would of known, it had more food in it the second time. Other reviews say they felt the small portions were over priced, and it is echoed with our experience. We will not be ordering here again.

Yeah, I’m done, too. As recently as a couple years ago, this place was expensive but serviceable. Now? The prices are laughable, even for westside standards. The food is fine, but not remotely close to worth what they’re charging.

This is a very old fashioned style Los Angeles Chinese restaurant. It may not be for everyone but it is one of my favorites. You have to get their famous string beans. I also recommend the spicy chilled cucumber, sour chicken with garlic sauce, Kung Pao beef, and any of the Chow Mein noodles.

Paid 84 dollars for food that barely covered a meal for two people. The food portions were tiny, and everything we got tasted flavorless. We are incredibly unpicky, but I think this is the first time in my life ever we didn’t finish our Chinese food.

They serve the best Chinese food which I ever eat. I recommend this restaurant for definitely.

$18.07 for a small take out box without rice is criminal

Really good restaurant! The specials are priced pretty low top, relatively speaking. The tea is surprisingly good in a unique way!

I went at 2:08 pm They told me restaurant will close at 2:30 pm Can’t dine in only take out Disappointed when I order beef noodle soup I will never go back again I feel not welcome at

Affordable. Good quality always. Owners are extremely personable and a delight to see regularly. Arguably the best take out Chinese in Culver City, highly recommend.

Solid service , solid food . the place has been in business for the past 40 yrs . They are obviously doing something right . Keep it up

The food here is really fresh. You can tell it's fresh by the workers making the dumplings and cutting green beans on the table next to us.We ordered the sweet and sour pork, the spicy chow fun, and the chicken wings.The wings were BOMB, crispy, juicy, and meaty. Prob the best thing that we had.The noodles were also really good but be cautious Bec mild spice is still pretty spicy for some people.

Very very hospitable and nice staff

Overly priced for the worst tasting foods

Great lowkey and affordable chinese restaurants with good service and generous food portions. Good eat out destination for low budget and quality food

Good customer service, very polite staff. And food tasted good. Hu approves Hu. Recommend come check it out.

was the worst food I ever tasted, it was so nasty I would not even recommend to a homeless person, the egg rolls was burned, looks like they do not change the frying oil in months. The pork fried rice nasty never seen pork like that. beef and broccoli taste like ginger and the orange chicken was burn 🔥 and It was nasty, I pay 57dollar and I had to throw everything in the garbage.

A quick-search on Google led us to this niche restaurant after walking around in freezing temperatures in December. We didn't think to put our name on the waitlist ahead of time and ended up waiting around 40 minutes for a table.

I'm a self proclaimed noodle fanatic and this was at the top of my must-visit spots in Seattle! It definitely did not disappoint. Ribbons of thick noodle strands that never seem to end. We just kept on slurping. Flavors are solid and it made an amazing first meal in the city. I will say that these weren't the best biang biang noodles I've had (There's a special place in NYC that has my heart.), but this was a close second!

The specials that they had at the back of the menu were delicious and well priced we will be back probably a great place to get takeout to but I would know that there’s not a lot of parking around the restaurant

Have been here for many years, love their beef noodle.

Such a lovely place. My favorite restaurant in LA. The service was awesome! I love the complimentary hot tea and egg rolls. Don't hesitate to go into this place just with the look from the outside! You'll find the best reataurant around here.

-So lucky2 live on same block as Hu's. If I didnt, I'd do what I had2, 2get my food from this restaurant. -Hosts & hostesses r great, even over the ph, during their busiest hrs. -Couple wks ago, when pickingup, accidentally grabbed the wrong bag. -On my next visit, (pickingup, the following wk) host remembered, apologized 4the mixup & completely waived the price! Great place and people. Lucky2 live so close.

You would never know. You would drive by it and not see it. You would see it and dismiss it. And you would miss it. The vegetable wonton in soup. The famous string beans. The spicy cucumber. So good. The reviews are real. And for once actually reflect something more than uneducated opinions.

This place is great! I've passed by a million times and it often emits a delicious smell. Went there today finally for takeout, and its being Mother's Day, they were slammed. The order took a bit longer than expected because of the crush. They were gracious and even threw in an order of spicy chilled cucumber. The food we ordered was fantastic and man am I glad they threw in the cucumber! I'll be back just for that. Thank you!

It is onecof our favorites. Today we walked in with 2 bottles of wine in our hands. The greeter knew we were old customers. It fells like coming home. My sonbsaid " I've been coming here since I was a child.

Szechuan bowl for the win. They have wifi too!!

Absolutely trash, no flavor at all, I spent 67 dollars on 4 dishes and literally nothing was edible. I guess that’s why they’re so cheap!

I slept on this gem for ages, but the dumplings alone make me wish I hadn’t. The service is great too…our server brought me a cup of soup I hadn’t ordered simply because my dinner companion had one and I didn’t. Will be back.

Go here now!!! I am an avid Chinese food lover, so fresh, delicious, reasonable, and fast. New favorite restaurant sure. Such lovely people working too!!

My fav szechwan spot - I am vegan and they are very accommodating- Chow mein, black bean eggplant/ Yu Hsiang eggplant and orange tofu (forgot which one lol but when I describe like that they know which one I want) super yummy!!!

Delicious food. Friendly servers.

The food was great, and our server Jimmie was very good to us. Thanks!

Wonderful customer service Love that's it's so easy to order and pick up Their country fried tofu and broccoli is amazing!! This place is a hidden gem especially before f you are vegetarian

Typical Chinese restaurant. Friendly fast service. Large portions for exceptional prices. You can request MSG free. The wantons have an amazing flavor! Defiantly good to go with multiple people and share dishes because there is a lot to try. Also free cucumber salad which is nice for cleansing the palate. The room is kinda old but not unusual. Can’t believe the value and quality for the price! Hot tea is good, service good food amazing! You do have to order rice separate if you want it with an entree. Would defiantly go again.

Super good tasting food! I ordered a beef noodle soup and it was very good! They have great customer service, super nice!

Really good food really good customer service! Came from San Diego to visit L.A and we were craving Wonton Soup. We bought this and much more other food. My friends and I Recommend this restaurant for sure.

My wife and I visited this week. The positives.....very nice staff and the owner seems interested in customer satisfaction. Place is clean and the restaurant is not noisy. I had the dinner that included hot and sour soup (fair), one egg roll (greasy, but relatively tasty), one shrimp (overly coated so that the shrimp itself was overwhelmed), chicken Kung Pao (good, not great). My wife had the eggroll, chow mein with tofu that was on the oily side. Two fortune cookies were good. Restaurant was moderately busy with quite a few take outs picked up. Would try again with different choices of entre and appetizer.

40+ years ago I came here and although the Restaurant is hidden on a busy corner with limited parking (3) spaces in Palms I suggest you don't just pass it by. Some here in So Cal are prone to judge the Book by it's Cover, not it's contents and therefore would pass it up by looking at the Restaurant but I must say this Family owned business is still thriving, and dare I say even improved the quality of their Food from when Dad was in the Kitchen back in the 70's. It brings back memories of New York's China Town where you can find a hidden Gem anywhere you turn. The Menu is basic, the Food fresh and perfectly prepared. Congratulations to the Kids and friends of the Family for preserving what Dad built and continuing to serve a grateful community!

Definitely the best Chinese restaurant! Every time I come I get something new and a new favorite! Don’t be scared to try something different and ask for recommendations here. Had beef noodle soup today. Incredible!

Great place to dine in, very friendly establishment. Service was excellent. Nice ,small place, but it can accommodate a nice quantity of people.

I always wonder if I over-hype this place to friends and then I go back there for a meal and I think, "Naw!" Green beans are the BEST you will ever eat anywhere!

Reading these reviews just cracks me up. I first came to Hu's in 1980, when I lived around the corner on Motor. I had moved there into my own place, after a breakup w/my college boyfriend, and girlfriends lived in the building next door. I feel like I grew into being an adult there, eating at Hu's when I could afford to. There was an adorable little boy running around the restaurant whenever we went. He is now, of course, a man but the food is just as good as ever. The decor is damn near the same and I wouldn't want it any other way.

I don't review things...BUT...I must take the time to rave and show my appreciation. I have been eating at this restaurant for the last 40 years. I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt this is consistently the best Szechuan food in LA and then some. There are certain things I eat EVERY time (Wonton Soup, Szechuan Dumplings and Sauteed String Beans with ground pork) that I can always count on tasting fresh and exactly the same as the time before! DON'T give it a second thought this is a must to try... I guarantee you'll be back!

Really great food, lovely and kind people. It's a really comfortable atmosphere Sour chicken with garlic was amazing, the spicy cucumbers are incredible, and the fried rice is great Looking forward to coming here more often!

Used to live right around the corner from Hu's. Moved to CO 15 years ago. We visit CA every year, and go out of our way to visit Hu's. Nicest people. Love their kung-pao (which I usually don't), Ching Pi Beef, and green beans with pork. Wish I lived closer.

Awesome tasty food. This review is way overdue. I have been coming here for the past 21 years and have not yet found a place like it. It’s mom & Pop place. I come all the way from the valley to eat here. Highly recommended!

My boyfriend has been eating here for 35 years and we now have to come eat here at least twice every time we visit. Consistently yummy! The string beans and szechwan dumplings are the best!

Have been eating at Hu's for 35+ years and the Szechwan there is the best in LA. Moved to San Fernando valley from the westside over 10 years ago, but I'll always drive to Hu's because there is NO good Szechwan in the valley.

My most favorite Chinese Restaurant, Restaurant Owner and family of all. I love these guys..been going here for like 43 years..since they opened....especially like the Schezuan Shrimp and the Dried/Fried Green Beans..order it every time..ty dearest dear Hu Family...we love you!!!!!!!!!! Ain't no other place I would rather eat Chinese at..for real!

*COVID restrictions review-Dec 2020* I completed an evening walk-in order but my understanding is that they deliver and engage in contactless pick-up as well. Parking: EXTREMELY limited. There's metered parking along the block but only on one side of the street. You'll need to park at least a block away (around the corner) and walk. Otherwise you'll be hard pressed trying to parallel park in the residential area and chance a hell bent ticket issuing parking enforcement crew. It's WLA, there's no mercy. Prices: A bit expensive for my budget. I'm not sure if the prices have always been high (considering average takeout) but I was a bit overwhelmed by the bill. I ordered a single serve soup and a full entree (veggies only) and it came up to $25 bucks. Granted, I'm used to Panda Express prices being ridiculous for the trash they feed you but when it comes to portion and price, many people would consider this place expensive. Food: I enjoyed the food and it was comforting. I ordered the Hot & Sour soup and the vegetable chop suey. I meant to order the single serve but didn't specify that while ordering so they prepared a full order and it came with rice. I did not eat the rice. The vegetables were tender but not soggy (perfect) and the soup had a warming spicy feel rather than the burning mouth and esophagus feel (great balance). The dish tasted freshly prepared and I appreciate that. Overall, the food I order was good.

Llevo muchos años viniendo aquí y siempre es la mejor comida china de la ciudad. He pasado mucho tiempo en la costa este comiendo excelente comida china y este es el único lugar en Los Ángeles que sé que no te decepcionará. Por cierto. . . Probablemente he comido en todos los "grandes" restaurantes chinos de Los Ángeles, y la verdad es que la mayoría no son geniales, pero Hu's siempre lo deja boquiabierto. No pierdas el tiempo tratando de decidir dónde comer comida china, solo ve a Hu's. Esto sin mencionar cuánto se preocupa el equipo de Hu's por sus clientes. 4 Aún no hay lugar para cenar, pero su comida para llevar está a punto.

Nací en Los Ángeles hace casi 70 años, y esta es una especie de comida china con la que crecí, antes de que los platos chinos ultra picantes y más regionales se hicieran populares. Los aperitivos favoritos son el Szechwan Wonton (empanadillas) de cerdo y el pepino frío picante. Para los platos principales, nos gusta el pollo agrio con salsa de ajo, carne de res Kung Pao, "nuestros famosos frijoles", fideos Chow Mein, y también hacen un muy buen Mu Shu. No está en el menú, pero nos gustan las verduras mixtas con su salsa de curry.

He estado yendo a Hus por más de 30 años y sigue siendo mi restaurante chino favorito. Siempre me dan el pollo Cheng Pi, la cuajada de alubias de Ma Poo, el camarón Schewzan, las alubias salteadas y muy bueno. Los propietarios son muy agradables también.

Although the people are really nice, this is just lazy or tired, run-of-the-mill Chinese food. It seems that everything seems to have the same taste no matter what you order. Spicy is not spicy. Flavor full is just kind of boring. I was going there for a couple of week, but just got bored. The do have a pretty good eggroll and the people who work there are very nice elderly people.

Hu's is sort of ugly on the outside and not much better inside. But it is super clean, the food id great so we don't care at all. Hu's has been around quite awhile. It is technically in LA, near the Palms area, but for whatever reason, I always associate it with Culver City. It is small and you can eat in or get it to go. If you get it to go, it will be hot still when you get home. All the food is great. They have dumplings that you can just eat until you burst. I have been there and only ordered dumplings and was in heaven, but don't do that on your first trip. Try various items, all Szechuan, all delicious. The service is super friendly and fast. I love eating at Hu's myself, but I do see a lot of take out when we are there. Ignore the fact that it is a little hole in the wall or you can embrace that, not go broke and have the best food.

I walked to this location and the restaurant was just opening, and was a bit cool inside. The owner unnecessarily apologized and gave us complementary hot soup. Wonderful shrimp and egg rolls. Delicately cooked Chinese food in an unassuming storefront good for eat in or take outs. I would go back again.

I have yet to find a Chinese Restaurant on the Westside that beats Hu's With the variety of food offered and the excellent service you cannot ask for more.

I go to this restaurant for many years and I finally decided to write a review as it is one of my favorite Chinese restaurant (not too many left unfortunately). Little corner place, nothing fancy, you need to bring your own beer or wine if you want some as they do not have a liquor license (liquor store next to the restaurant, so practical and cheaper). Menu is fairly simple with traditional Chinese dishes, one of my favorites are the garlic pork (also available with beef, chicken or shrimp), Kung Pao, orange beef, beef broccoli,.... but the ultimate is the szechuan wontons appetizers (12 pieces a portion), it is one of the best I ever had, made onsite as you can see the staff prepping them and rolling them, super fresh with a exquisite sauce. Very generous in meat stuffing (many of other restaurant do not), it is worth the drive just for this dish. Staff is extremely nice, family own place, and pretty cheap (around $12 per person), i always do feel welcome to be there, my son sometimes seat with the owner to roll his own wontons, this is the type of place. Menu around $10/$12 available with large choices. It is very hard to get good Chinese food in Los Angeles, driving to Chinatown is far from where I leave and I do not think it is very good anyway. Parking next to restaurant.

The food is very good and the staff is vert attentive to your needs. We come here as often as we can...that;s how much we love this place. We have tried other Chinese restaurants within a 5 mile radius and this one is by far the best. Love the dumplings, the twice cooked prk, the spicy eggplant...and the mushu! Please do not miss this place if you are in the 9004 and looking for good Chinese food... GPL

いつもお客さん多いから並ぶかも…と言われ連れていかれましたが、少し時間がずれてて待たずに入りました。　ワンタンスープもお 料理も美味しく、写真の春巻きとは違うのですが、巻いてあるのは豚肉でとても美味しく気に入りました。　またこれを食べに行きたいです。

My family and I love this place. Too bad they do not take my AMEX. Although they raised their prices and some people on YELP are not too fond of this I still patronize this place because the food is good the service is great and the owners and staff are very friendly and generous. I am told that they have not raied the prices over the past 5-10 years which I believe. I honestly think you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. I prefer to order al la carte rather than the dinner specials. Between my spouse and I we can order three dishes and that is plenty for us with a little to take home. Please don't miss this place. It is a gem to visit.

Nothing went wrong.From the food,very fresh and very well cooked,to the attention and the courtesy of the restaurant staff.I recommend this restaurant if you are alone,couple or even with families and kids.Proud to be your guest.

Ordered ToGo for about 3 years before we ate here for the first time about a year ago. The food was always great and consistent over those years. As to dine it it has been fun and even odd at times. Decently friendly and love their regulars. The Szechwan Dumplings are my favorite thing on the menu. My only complaint would be timing and what they do when its off. Recently had bad luck to go during same time as regulars, i notice our food is slow and others comes out lightening fast. A table of 10 who sat about 40 minutes after we did got their main courses about 5 minutes after we got ours. This was also my least favorite visit based on food quality as I would give them 3/5 for this visit. The Wontons were epic as always!

We've been going to Hu's for over 30 years. We love their szechwan wonton. I keep a menu in my glove compartment so I can order and pick-up when I'm in the area. We also love their hot and sour soup, mu shu, and spicy green beans. The staff is very helpful and friendly. This is not a fancy restaurant and parking is pathetic - it is great food from nice people.

We live in near this restaurant and frequent this place occasionally. Last night (2/20) I had the Tan Tan noodles and my spouse ordered the usual. The sauce in the boiled dumplings that my spouse had is the same for the noodles. Generally the sauce...

We ordered take out from here, and it was worth the drive from across town. We ordered the won ton soup, egg rolls, egg flower soup, and the fried rice. All of was phenomenal, and some of the best Chinese food I have ever had....

The food is good. It was a bit salty when we went on Saturday but other than that it generally isn't...this is definitely a go to place

If you like spicy Chinese, this is the place. Everything is delicious and served promptly. Parking is the only downer.

I last ate here 23 years ago before I moved. On July 23, 2013 I returned for a visit. Restaurant has not changed. Waiters still cleaning the string beans on the tables. Old favorite dish, Spicy Minced Chicken, is no longer on the menu, but...

I have been dining here for over 25 years. The Szechwan Shrimp is super excellent! I usually have there sour chicken in garlic sauce. They also deliver in the area. Bottom line is this place is really good and a great value.

My family and I have been ordering from Hu's for years. The service is always fast and friendly. The food is fresh and tasty. One of the few places that never lets me down. Oh, and don't miss the green beans, spicy cucumber salad, or...

Super hole in the wall, soooooooooo good, I'm a local who has lived here all my life!!! You've GOT to order the szechwan dumplings, the sauce is AMAZING. The szechwan (i forget the actual name) shrimp, comes in a spicy red sauce that is to...

HU'S has had excellent food and service the last 15 years. They are always consistent in the quality of the food and service. The staff is always very nice. This is not a fancy restaurant. I would never think to stop and eat just driving...
