Given real chicken - Edit
Ordered the vegan chicken on DoorDash and was given real chicken. I had to call and ask them and they said it was real and offered to deliver a new order but at that point I had already had a bite of chicken- first time in 5 years. Was not happy at all with the experience.

Exceptional Chinese takeout. - Edit
A little pricier than I’m used to for Chinese takeout, and they skimp on the rice by only giving 8oz portions with each meal instead of the expected pint, but the plant-based chicken and beef were excellent and the portions were pretty packed. My partner was convinced her General Tso’s chicken was real meat at first, which I suppose attests to how good it is. The beef and broccoli was perfect and the curry chicken was super flavorful and full of chicken pieces.
Read morePros: Portions, Flavors, Lots of chicken and beef options
Cons: Pricier than most Chinese takeout, Only gives tiny 8oz white rice with meals

No beef with the vegetarian options - Edit
Seriously good faux beef and chick’n. My husband always gets the general tso’s but I’m all about the no beef and broccoli.

Mediocre at best - Edit
Got food delivered. Timely, which was probably the best part. Ordered veggie seasame "beef" and veggie steamed dumplings. Specified vegan on order and maybe it's my own fault I didn't order white rice, but I figured for the price me meal would come with it, it did not. It did however come with a tiny box of fried rice, with egg in it. Not happy about that. Flavour was mild on booth the "beef" and the dumplings. Dumplings were very doughy. Probably wouldn't order from here again.

Tasty - Edit
I got the bean curd hunan style. It came with rice. It did not include any vegetables. It was tasty and well priced. If I were to go here again, I’d get a vegetable side for a more well rounded meal. A staff member encouraged me not to get the soy chicken, and I don’t like mushrooms, so I didn’t have the mushroom beef base.

Vegan hunan “beef” - Edit
Vegan “beef” made from mushrooms. Vegan “chicken” made from soy. Can be used in many dishes. Vegan hunan “beef” is the best. Very quiet inside. Servers are usually very inexperienced. Delivery is the way to go on this one.

So happy to have found this - Edit
I’ve never been to this place or even thought about going until Happy Cow. Amazing! Kung Pao “chicken” was excellent. The mock chicken has the right about of tooth to it to hold up to sauces. Sometimes tofu can get too soft in Chinese food. I’m looking forward to trying the “beef” options. I will be back soon!

Tasty, affordable and friendly! - Edit
I'd been to House of Hunan once several years back and don't really recall much about the experience beyond them not being any different than most Chinese restaurants where I can likely get steamed veggies and rice.
Read moreThankfully, I stumbled across a little review online that stated the restaurant had expanded their vegetarian menu. My husband and I decided to give them a try and were pleasantly surprised.
We were greeted quickly and cheerfully and the server was very good. They have an entire vegetarian menu in the back of their full menu with options including soy based mock chicken and mushroom based mock beef. They also offer brown rice. My husband ordered the orange 'chicken' and I ordered the 'beef' with broccoli. The portions are huge and we had leftovers for several days! It sure isnt health food, but it was darn tasty.
A week or so after that we returned with my entire family to celebrate a birthday. This time my husband ordered the General Tao's 'Chicken' and I ordered the 'Beef' with mixed vegetables. The food was even better the second time around!
To top it off, the serving staff was excellent, despite us having 11 people in our party and the rest of the restaurant staying busy. The manager spent quite some time helping out and bantering with us. The rest of my family ordered non-vegetarian items and were also very happy with their meals.
I will give one warning- don't get this restaurant confused with the House of Hunan in Cape St. Clair. I tried food from the Cape location in between my two visits to the Riva location and the food was VILE. I had to throw it out and was afraid I was going to get food poisoning it was so disgusting and undercooked.
Pros: selection, price, good service
Cons: not fancy, bar drinks are only 'ok'
