Customer Reviews
Hunan Express is our local "go to" for Chinese takeout. Admittedly, it's not the best but it's good enough for what it is, fast food Chinese. We usually order General Tso chicken, Chicken Lo Mein, and Crab Rangoon. I think they have several cooks and one seems better than other(s). Sometimes our order is really good and other times, not so much. Recently we switched it up and ordered fried rice instead of white with the General Tso chicken. As you can see from the pic, there was nothing "fried" about it. It was nothing more than white rice with soy sauce, definitely not worth the extra cost! Bottom line, Hunan Express is ok as long as you take it at face value and manage your expectations.
On Friday, I called a Hunan restaurant for takeout. The lady said it’d be ready in 20 minutes. When I got there, I had to wait another 15 minutes. The place was super busy, and the lady at the front was doing everything. She was answering calls, helping people, and running food to customers. The place seems over staffed and people were doing two jobs at once. People kept asking her where their food was, but she was patient and explained the chef had a lot of orders and needed more time. She kept saying sorry to everyone. I got shrimp fried rice, but it was too salty, and the noodles didn’t have much flavor. I was a little annoyed, so I called back to let them know. The lady on the phone was really nice and said she’d take care of it. Her attitude made me feel better. Even though the food w
Really good experience at Hunan Express today. I wasn't sure what to order, so I asked the lady at the front desk for some help. She was super nice and recommended the Gongbao chicken, which was awesome!While I waited, we had a nice chat, and when I got home, there was a spring roll in my order with a note that said Happy Birthday.It was a really sweet touch. Great food and great service. I’ll definitely be back!
This used to be my go to spot for quality chinese food in the area. I've noticed a change in quality starting around late 2022 and it's only gotten worse. I ordered combo lo mein, hunan beef w/fried rice and egg rolls on 12/18/25. The beef was beyond tough and chewy, the fried rice was dry as hell, the lo mein was bland and flavorless, the egg rolls were decent. This was definitely the last order that I will ever make from this place. If negative stars were possible...they would get it.
Pardon the photo quality, but the food was delicious. Upgraded the sesame chicken to white meat for an extra $1.25 but absolutely worth it. Maybe on of the best Chinese take-out chickens I have had in a while. The vegetable lo mein was a bit more greasy than I’d like but not enough to hurt the business’ rating for. The food was well-priced, well-portioned, conveniently located, and tasted great. 👍
