LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Perched on the edge of Los Angeles’ Palms community, Hu’s Szechwan Restaurant<\/a> has been serving authentic Chinese cuisine and bringing families together for nearly five decades.<\/p>\n

Kevin Hu says his parents opened the restaurant with a simple goal.<\/p>\n

“My parents opened Hu’s in 1977 in hopes of bringing some good Chinese food to the Westside,” he said.<\/p>\n

Today, the neighborhood favorite is known for its family-style dining and generous portions of Kung Pao beef, Szechwan shrimp, pork dumplings, crispy orange chicken, sauteed green beans and tofu.<\/p>\n

“Sichuan is province of China, and they’re more known for their spiciness and garlic flavors,” Hu said.<\/p>\n

Many of the recipes served today have been passed down from Kevin’s parents, who immigrated from China and Taiwan.<\/p>\n

“We’ve always been a family style-oriented restaurant,” Hu said. “We serve all our dishes family style, and it’s just a great place for family and friends to meet and gather.”<\/p>\n

Hu’s is also part of ABC7 history.<\/p>\n

The restaurant was featured on the station’s popular “Dining With Dills” segment in the 1980s, helping introduce the longtime local favorite to even more Southern Californians.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this October, Hu’s Szechwan Restaurant will close its current location as it searches for a new home on the Westside. Kevin says he hopes to keep the restaurant going for many more decades.<\/p>\n

“I’d just like to thank all of our loyal customers after all these years,” Hu said.<\/p>\n

Hu’s Szechwan Restaurant is located at 10450 National Blvd, and is open Tuesday through Sunday, closed on Mondays.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to support Hu’s as it searches for a new location, the restaurant has launched a GoFundMe<\/a>.<\/p>\n
